If anyone from Scotland knows of decent venues let me know

Scotland has become a huge problem.

Alea Glasgow performed poorly for me in another role, Mint Glasgow has disabled access problems

Gala Maybury"s Pies still haven"t left my digestive system

G Dundee is too small

International Aberdeen closed, G Aberdeen let APAT down


I might have to co-opt Newcastle into Scotland for a weekend

There is the option of telling the Maybury to buck up and run a better show and that includes the buffet

Tell them to go to Bains at Stenhouse Cross for their pies, they are the best in Scotland lol

What about the Circus in Edinburgh??  Far better than the Maybury.

Having just spent the weekend there I thought they coped well with 160+ extreme drunks.. 90% of which didnt have a clue what was going on.. perfect preparation  ;)

Thought the casino itself was excellent, very smart, easy enough to find, loads of parking and the dealers were all great. However this was after a copious amount of alcohol so don"t quote me.

p.s. a +1 for Liverpool next year please.

So thats Las Vegas and Liverpool votes from me for new Venues.

I"m all for bumping the buy in up a bit though just to have a bigger prize pool, but don"t see what inflation has got to do with it.  What other poker tour or casino has done this?


Just because no one else has done it, doesn"t make it wrong.  :D

(PS. I can"t take full credit for this reasoning, I have only amended someone else"s logic)
(PPS. It was early this morning, when I read the inflation idea... far to early to give any thought as to whether it was relevant! I was actually just hoping to shoot down JonMW"s guesstimate, should have known better!)

Venues not used this year that would get my vote...

UK -
Aspers Newcastle
Aspers Northampton (if dealers can be provided)
Rendevouz, Brighton

Europe -
Grand Casino, Portoroz, Slovenia (Adriatic coast)
Perla Hotel & Casino, Nova Gorica, Slovenia
     Both have top class hotels on site, at really good prices.

Given that Walsall seems to have dropped out of scope, how about The Broadway or Star City...

Honest now was there only me that liked those pies?

Venues - Amsterdam Casino is nice, I agree with Aspers Newcastle and Stoke Circus has a good room and is use to handling big comps.

Dates - I"ve not be able to make any this year but don"t mind me.

Pro Tourney - Would be wise to cancel now before the last leg IMO just to save Eck a lot of side bets.

Leeds and Sheffield both have venues which can cater for 150+ runners

Newcastle for the Scottish leg
Blackpool for the Irish leg
Bristol for the Welsh leg
Brighton for the European leg
:D

I LOVE The Broadway!  They might not serve Guinness by the pint, but they know how to make a good Baby Guinness.   ;)
