    Oscar I think you need to improve your marketing to attract taxi drivers - these points should do it


    - breakfast rolls served at the break
    - special moaning table, with passive agreeable dealer
    - free poker trade union membership
    - bad beat strike/picket room with understanding portly listening lady
    - no hackneys
    - must have been a driver for at least 10 years
    - each players has his own small bat for protection
    - free entry kickback if you bring 3 people to play blackjack
    - no meter/clock
    - all small notes for prizemoney

    Ha, its basically a private tourney, theres 18 odd registered and most of the things you mention will be included, both tables will be moaning tables and they will all get to turn down 2-3 jobs each while complaining that the taxi industry is on its knees and theres no work.

    BE sure to ask them whether the drive a petrol or diesel, or whether they think they will be in the tournament long, and when they started in it.
