I think Samba, that I'd be slow to support an organisor with such a poor history.

They basically ignored all the feedback that was directed towards them, and even worse lied about their rake etc... they were screwing people.

Trust is a big thing in the poker tournament business. The organisors often hold tickets as 'prizes in trust' for bigger events.

I know you may not want brought this up on this thread, but giving any other feedback without that being said would be pointless.

I'd rather give my rake to organisors such as Green Joker and Vegas Nights who've gone about their business in the proper manner and built up a following the hard but decent way over the last year, than give it to people who let's face it are still the same organisors, but decided, (or should I say, most probably told by their customers who voted with their feet and left them no choice but) to change.

I know Dev said a operator who has changed their game/outlook on things etc... is better than one that carries on ripping off people ....and he is right.
However I'll support operators that never ripped people off before I'll support the leopard who has changed his spots.

The rest of the tournament can all be sorted (tables, location, buy-in, dealers etc...) reputation and integrity are not as easy to acquire.

Sorry, but that's my reading on it.

O.k Culchie,

I'll start that thread now, one comment I will make on the above is this.

The owner of TN, had no idea of any of the online activity and bad press in relation to his company here on Boards.

This was done by staff who had no permission to represent/defend/explain or do anything online.

So in that respect there is hope, as it is the owner of the company who I am working closely with, my opinions he very much respects and takes them into account.

Culchie, you are a death penalty man rather than a reform their character man, I can tell.

Culchie

I'm not actually.

I'm someone who (I think anyway) gives everyone the benefit of the doubt, however if I do get pissed on by people, despite the fact that they were told the error of their ways.... I'm not easily bought.....and I'll stay loyal and give my money to those who didn't take the short corner route to a few quid, and said 'feck the punter'

So the owner thought it was ok to steal because he didnt realise people were discussing it on an internet forum?

No Oscar,

He had no idea what his employees had done on the night, please read my last reply on the thread in the main forum.

Can we please stop posting replies to this thread unless they are on topic?

Thanks.

Not sure what you want to hear, 25% is too much considering GJP can do 12.5% There are plenty of threads on here about acceptable structures, as far as weekly pub tournaments go I would suggest limiting it to one or two rebuys and make the charge very clear - ie 50+10 and 50+10

Monthly tournament - 215+35 with dealers as charged by GJP is acceptable however Im dont think Id play if it was 200+50, also Im not going to pay 100+ for a self deal tournament (one of my many problems with the merrion)
