Hi,

just for the ones who are considering going into the SE tonite for the 50 Euro Doublechance tonite.

Just to let you know, that this has been cancelled.

Someone from SE left a message on my mobile on Monday to let me know.

Not sure if everyone is aware of that.

Cheers,
DSAB

why...?I am not planning on going in tonight but this is the second time I have heard of them canceling a tournament.

Glowingmind · 22-12-2005 4:14pm

There's a private party on there tonight.

Thats just not on....I am sure people will turn up tonight to play,If I planed my night around heading into play this and then found out it was not on I would not be a happy camper.And they wounder why they are not getting the numbers...you cannot treat costumer's like this.

Glowingmind · 22-12-2005 4:21pm

Agreed, i was planning on going in, but rang em when i saw this thread. ~Apparantly it's just a one off......
At least i get to keep my 50 quid(not that i'm a pessimist or anything)

Dub13 · 22-12-2005 4:29pm

A one off is one time to many....and as I said above this is at least the second time they have canceled a tournament.

Glowingmind if you are on the Northside and are looking for a game you could pop out to Mikes game out in the Europa

Glowingmind · 22-12-2005 4:33pm

I've resigned myself to crying myself to sleep over the thoughts of the money i wouldn't have won.

I was going to get my first live action after arriving back into the country the other day, just aswell I had a look on the auld reliable boards for the daily gossip

califano · 22-12-2005 5:16pm

I got a phone call about this from a foxy sounding dutch girl last week. She called me 'Sir', it lessened the blow. Its nice to hear the word 'sir' without being followed by 'im going to have to ask you to leave':v:

I was planning on posting dsab's message a little later just as yis were all ready to head out to it.

Is there anything else on tonight to suit my bankroll?

Dub13 · 22-12-2005 5:27pm

I have played this tournament 3/4 times and I did not get a call,its still not a good way to run a business.

:mad:

Culchie not on boards this afternoon.

ArmaniJeanss · 22-12-2005 11:34pm

Ouch Culchie, hope you don't have to travel too far.
Also for every boardster like you who got turned away, theres probably another 5 non-boardster poker players who turned up at the SE, are pi*sed off and won't be seen there again.
And the private party mob are probably 'prawn sandwich merchants' who only turned up coz their company was paying and wont be seen again either.

As Dub3 said earlier on the thread, its just not the way to run a business.

I still think its wrong,how many players went to the trouble of turning up only to be told sorry not tonight.I would be interested in hearing exactly what they said to anybody who turned up.

Also how do they defying who is a regular player and who is not...?

fixer · 23-12-2005 2:19pm

you're making a way bigger deal out of this than it warrants. **** happens, plans change, get over it.

I get it, you don't like the SE or the clientelle they choose to court or their methods of doing so. Okay, move on.

Culchie · 23-12-2005 3:04pm

I actually don't think he's making a big deal out of it. I agree with Paul 100%

The reason the tournament wasn't running because there was 'a private function' on, who had hired out the floor.
What's to stop this happening next Wednesday, or the 23rd January or whenever.

This place is going to become increasingly popular for corporate entertainment as it's the perfect place to bring along clients, have office parties etc....instead of the usual haunts around town ....which is fair enough, but...

The SE needs to decide is it a casino, or a private/corporate hospitality business. They have afterall issued a tournament schedule.

If it is a casino, they should stick to their advertised tournaments, if it is to be a corporate hospitality establishment, so be it....but decide one way or the other.

50 Euro D/C at the SE tonite is cancelled !
