casinos in other parts of the country

been in southend since 23 dec , so on Saturday decided on playing at southend casino ( stanleys mint ) 40 + 4 freezeout .

got there for 8.30 and sits down with 5 k in chips , then found out the deal passes round to everyone , which isn't to bad of a thing , but when your playing 5 handed ( yes ) its goes around pretty quick , there was 46 runners so why were we playing 5 handed i asked , the manager said for late entries ( lol ) , anyways some of the players were should we say not so good with the rules , ie some of them made them up as they went along , blinds wernt all that good either , 30 mins for first 3 levels then 20 min levels.

break time comes 45 mins :eek: , then we take our seats and we get 7 players to the table with 42 left in .?????? , they played it 7/6 handed till we get to 16 players , then its 2 tables down to final table , hits final table and gets cardroom manager dealing ( very good on rules and doesn't take any shit off anyone which he proved on 2 occasions ) , then we get another dealer after who sits down and starts dealing very slowly , about 10 mins later the blinds are 2/4k and the blinds are checked with small and bb only ones playing hand, flop comes down and there's a raise to 6k , other player thinks for a min then re-raises to 10k , so i say very nicely to dealer it should be 12 k , dealer says why should it , sry i just laughed and said its ok , feels a bit strange when all the players are looking at you , anyways nice friendly ft table goes out 5th with kk vs jj and he hits his j on the river lol.

the real reason i posted this post is to try and say stop whinging about the cardrooms in Newcastle cos u dont know what u have got until its missing .

just one other thing and its aimed at the casinos in Newcastle , if u ask for a sandwich they ask u what kind of filling etc , which u can basically make up what u want within reason , they say 10 mins or so and ask u for £1.00 , 10 mins later they bring out a large baguette cut in 2 i was gobsmacked at how big and how much filling was in them, they must have made at least 50/60 of them through out the night for us and the cash tables and i bet another 50/60 for upstairs , just goes to show some casinos use there brains ie dont be greedy and u will get people in through the doors , and hopefully keep them there.
