Suited Aces and The Merrion

bohsman

The Merrion are advertising a 50 freezeout for the first monday of the month no mention of Suited Aces. Whats the story?

amp

I dunno anything about the above but I doubt I'll ever go back to the Merrion wether SA are organising something or not. I'm kinda used to card clubs trying to make their punters comfortable and enjoy the experience instead of fúcking them in the ass.

Kinda glad I didn't make it to the final table. I've got a short temper sometimes especially with people who go back on deals already made.

But hey, what does the Merrion care? They're after the high-rollers not scum like me.

To summarise: **** the Merrion.

Where are they advertising this exactly? On posters/website? What info are they giving?

They're still advertising the free-roll on their website. They're missing out on the key demographic of internet savy high-rollers. Either that or the Merrion is run by muppets.

Actually forget the "either that or" part of the above sentence.

agreed Merrion is a ****hole

Hyzepher

rather than try to continually rag on against the Merrion we have organised a meeting with them this evening to try and arrange a more 'comfortable' experience for all concerned.

Suited Aces would like to continue the relationship with the Merrion as it gives everyone a better choice and more tornaments for everyone to enjoy. There are things that we need to sort out and we hope to do this tonight.

Nothing like diplomacy

MrPudding

As much as we may think otherwise what Hyzepher says is true. Ideally we would have choice in where we play our games, after all, variety is the spice of life.

I think it is dangerous to jump to any conclusions. I think it would be for the best if we work out the issues that players have with the Merrion and we can continue to have games in both venues. Then, with time, we should be able to expand the games in both size and frequency.

We at Suited Aces hope that, whatever happens in the next few weeks, you will continue to support our games wherever they may be held. When you support us you give us the power to negotiate on your behalf. Up until now players have had no voice. The games are set and you play them, if they don’t suit, too bad. Players wanted a 50 game, no-one was willing to run it. We got it. Players wanted a low stake game on a Saturday afternoon. We got that too. It is time for the players to tell the clubs what they want, not the other way around. We know it and the players know it.

I'm not jumping to any conclusions. I'm basing my dislike of the Merrion on my overall experience there. The only reason I've been there recently was for Payday monday and they've managed to fúck that up so much that I really don't want to go back.

Effectively they were trying to steal the money that you guys brought in despite a pre-agreed rake. I wouldn't go back to a car dealer that tried to rip me off, even he was the only other car dealer around.

And now they're apparently trying to steal the tourney/punters you guys brought in? Seriously, what do they have to do to make you go elsewhere? Hammer nails into your eyes?

:boggle:

Is it true that silks are tring to get poker going? Might be worth talking to them

Juan Pablo

Or the Mayfair. I was talking to the manager in there a few months ago when I was rubbered and they seem open to suggestions.

I've emailed them to enquire whether they have any poker tournaments planned. I will let you know what there response is! There website is www.silksclub.ie

Juan Pablo

Bit of a difference from the Merrions tables!

bohsman

Hmmm on their website it says full size poker table available I assume that means just the one

Hyzepher

That looks like my setup at home

Hyzepher

Krusty_Clown

Nice looking bar ("There is full lounge service and drinks will be brought to your gaming table. "). Nice smoking area.. Nice
dealers.

Juan Pablo

Not a bad old setup, a couple of strippers gyrating around on poles wouldn't go amiss but beggars cant be choosers I suppose.

Great, another casino within walking distance from me. We should send out scouts or something. Check it out. Shake it down. Do a little dance. Make a litt..


I went too far again didn't I?

Davey Devil

That table at Silks just looks too good to waste. How's about trying to organise the BSOP Final to be played there. That'd be so damn cool, well if I could actually drag my ass up the rankings.

Jesus, I think I just broke my ROFL

Waylander

Howyis, this is the enquiry I put into Silks via their website:

Do you run any poker tournaments?

And the response I got was:

YES NIALL WE DO , HOWEVER MOST OF THEM ARE PRIVATE, BUT IF YOU ARE
INTERESTED IN SETTING UP YOUR OWN GAME PLEASE LET US KNOW IF WE ASSIST YOU
IN ANY WAY,

Sounds a bit noisey in there.
