Good Luck with this venture daire, While sometimes it's great to be transparent in these times of 'transparency gone mad', I do think though, that you need to ask the final table players if they want their names on boards.ie. Even if you just print their first names then i think that's ok but some people might have an issue with their name associated with 'gambling' on a public forum.

PS
I couldn't give a fook as my name been mentioned here alot. Many times in association with Al Queda !:eek:

Great little setup Daire, if there was dealers this game would be great.

Will support when i can. WP.

newbie2

Yep, GG Daire.

glenjamin

For the hour I was there seemed like a fairly good little game. I'll give it a go now and again (if I can afford it!). Might be able to get you another couple of runners as well.

Next time try and not put me at a table were its 'cool' to be loose. 8-4 ffs!!

eoghan104

The bubble is teh Ghey. Good game though enjoyed it!

DazMarz

Cheers, guys. Glad you all enjoyed it anyway. Lack of dealers is unfortunately unavoidable at the min, but will change in the future. And to all players, I sincerely apologise for the 'After Dark' element that is present!!! The lighting should be sorted out by next week! Thanks to all who played. Will post results et al soon.

profun
