Just my point of view

After some pretty heated discussion that has taken place recently and after having a few issues myself can i make a few points for "constructive" comment:

1. The live pub poker games need have the basic rules plainly explained to new players, maybe in the form of an information card given to new player clearly stating some basic point and that "all disputes "must" be taken to the TD, not ruled on by the supposed rules expert at the table. To many bad rules and habits are being passed from player to player as "gospel" because thats how they were taught. i see it every time I play and get shot down for being to serious, so now i just shut and call the TD

2. Can we get some clarity between what 888PL says on here and what the 888PL website says as sometime they don't line up, eg qualification requirements for State Champs etc

3. Most of us on here are now starting to fall between semi-serious to serious players and have good oppurtunity to form a formidible force in the Australian poker scene, if we can get our shit together and not act like some of the people on other forums out there that are constantly attacking each other.

Garth and his team have got a good thing going right now in bleak poker landscape and i for one would like to see him and his team get the back up and respect they deserve.

Thats my rant thanks for listening.

Cookie Monsters :idea: .
The Time Clock Programme 888pl Use at Games.Can it Be Programmed To:

1.Show Different Texas Hold'em Rules?
With a Basic 888 Poker Online Tutorial every 5 minute so It Becomes Annoying BUT Educational To Players.

2.So Rules are Embedded in Poker Players Memory.

3.Also a Massive Focus on Poker Etiquette / Suitable Behaviour (I Know you Don't Run a Daycare LOL)

4. Deodorant out of Respect to Fellow Players

5. Incorporate 888pl Online Schedule info on online Events

Educating Poker Player will Benefit All 888pl Members and Also Make Tourney Captains :-).

MUNCHLY APPRECIATE FEED BACK COOKIELICOUS

+1

Always bring enough to share with your table mates, at least!

The time clock we use currently, no it does not have screen saver type info screens where you can advertise upcoming events and gloss over some do's & dont's of pub poker.

However the APL clock used up here does in fact have that ability.

I think anything that adds to the information that the poker players see's at every game is a good idea.
