Look for at least 2 if not more NEW venues from the Bristol Area
coming on board very shortly.
Certainly sounds like "bad form" to me. But, it also sounds like it's a victim of it's own success. The league builds the pub up from one man and his dog to a thriving poker community of 40+ players each night, and then they leave nicking all your customers in the process!

Not a very nice thing to do. I've found the competing site in question, though I won't post it here as don't want to publicise it. It looks very homebrew and amateur, so I can't imagine it being a threat in any way to your league and the prizes are spectacularly rubbish!

For the good news keep an eye on the web site for our biggest prize fund give away, the June leader board is going to be a very special world cup month we have some very exciting news for the Bristol & South West league
This sounds good. Keep us posted.

Edit - Gambler: No personal insults please.

Hi it's John, Landlord of The Fire Engine here. Rather than discuss my business decisions on this thread please feel free to phone me on xxx xxxxx, or, if you are less gutless than I think, please visit me in the pub at your convenience, and I will happily tell you the reasons for my leaving the league.

Edit - Gambler: No phone numbers on threads please. If people want to contact either PM or visit the pub in question.

How much money you got?

I would like add as a observation...and this might only be a small point, but the finals for the June leaderboard are in July and the world cup finishes in?

On saying that though im sure if you wanted to trade the prize for a afternoon at Ashton gate that could be sorted

I think its a real shame that this venue has dropped out as they had a great turnout. However on the plus side any competition is good competition and can only make the LPL better and stronger which if the rumor mill is true its gonna wipe the floor off this other league.

Maybe book tokens or a free drink is the way to go for poker players as i am sure they all love reading there books and i am almost certain they all drink I wish this new league all the best
