thought ye went through all that last year with the rake lol

per hr is better than 5% capped 20 christ im not giving out about rebel club again about there 5% capped at 10 .:rolleyes::rolleyes:

hope ladbrokes english players dont complain like they did last year when ye had to change :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

start right and bring in same rake as last year ;)

Hi Sean,
The amazing thing is that last year, we started the festival raking by the half hour and after multiple complaints from the players, we were forced to change mid-stream and go 5%, capped ar 20. From then on, no more complaints about the rake!!
That seems to be the standard festival rake in Ireland now. We have used it at the lakes of killarney festival for the last 2 years,Big Slick use that rake system at their festivals, Fox's game in waterford was the same I think and as far as I know, Poker events use the same system, so the players that play the festival games are aufe with the rake system.

So when you say "start right and use the same rake as last year", thats exactly what we are doing.

jesus connie but it seems your old memory is getting bad in your old age m8

as i did not come down to killarney last year till Saturday which is when both you and niall told me that ye brought in rake per hr because there was complains about the rake of 5% capped at 20 from all the english players to ye and ladbrokes Friday night .
rake per 1\2 hr is what i paid when i played cash there that day not the other way around that u are trying to say .

i complement ye for doing it then because its was so player friendly and i think i posted it on boards .

so please don't try to tell me it was the other way around and just say that ye want to make as much money as the rest do off there punters please

I also thought the law was change that you couldn't rake at tables and only charge a player rate by the hour etc.

.

And since when was there any laws in Ireland on how, when and what you can rake a pot?

1st of all. I have not spoken to you or Connie about Killarney, I didn't play last year and don't as yet intend playing this year, your claim that I showed interest and you held seats for me came from a 3rd party. I DID NOT contact any of you about it.

Now you have had several digs at me about putting my name down and not showing up, as above quotes are quite obvious digs at me. And you started again when I commented on the rake. You can take it that I'm interested when I hand over the cash.

Now, this morning I have recieved a barrage of abusive phonecalls, insulting me, calling me names and cursing me for the fact that I have not payed the entry for Killarney festival. The person did a ridiculosly bad job of disguising there voice. At the moment I'll just say it was a Waterford person. I've passed the info on to the proper
people.

I thought 2 years ago there was some sort of agreement, maybe not a law on how rake would be operated, which was charging by the 1/2 hour etc. I remember reading this on a Fitz thread or something, I'm sure I'm totally wrong.

Hi Sean,
I'm passing this on to Matt Dobbins who was in charge of the cash room last year and he will be able to clear that up.
All I know is there was some problem with raking by time and we switched the system. But I really cant verify what the switch was, but I'm sure Matt will.

Connie

Hi Connie,

I remember it been the other way around were you move to charging by time and not rake. I asked a few people last night they thought the same.

Hopefully I'll be in the main event all week so it wont make any difference to me...lol

Hi Ollie,
I spoke with Matt and he tells me that we started last years festival raking by time and taking it from the various pots. Following numerous complaints from players, it was changed. We still raked by time, but changed it to collecting every half hour from the player instead of from the pots.
We still got grief from players who didnt realise what rake was until they had to pay every half hour out of their stacks.
To avoid that grief this year, it has been decided to go with the standard festival rake in Ireland, and we will be very transparent with it and have it well advertised in the cash room.

So maybe sean is right and my memory is fading with age!!

Looking forward to this event, I've got my ticket I'll start looking for accomadation this weekend.
I had one run in with a dealer last year that annoyed and yet amused me. There was a rule at the cash tables that your hand is dead when you are on the phone. So I get a text, and start reading through my other text, on my BB the delaer reaches over to me and grabs my cards declaring my cards dead. NO PHONE? I said don't be rediculous I'm reading texts.
He said NO PHONE in a broad Kerry accent. Would you feck off I sez, that rule is for being on a call not texting.
YER NOT IN DUBLIN NOW BOY, he sez. I nearly fell off my chair laughing but I called the floor guy over who backed up his dealer. I left the table went up to the floor guy and said are you serious? He replies, I have to back up my dealers publicly but he was wrong. LOL. I look forward to more of the same crazyness.
