    Carlton card room closing

    The Carlton Poker parlour is being closed.

    Shame really as it was very comfortable and
    the location couldn't be more central.
    They were doing decent tournament numbers
    but couldn't get any traction with cash games.

    All future tournaments are now cancelled
    and the league pool of ~€5k
    will now be played off on Tuesday.

      I think very recent. I've heard multiple people in Kildare that wouldn't usually venture too far to play singing it's praises as a lovely venue so it's a pity things haven't worked out.

        They made several big mistakes. They hired an old school poker manager who had no new ideas and was clearly out of touch with modern poker, all the tournaments were carbon copies of the old dated formats in every other dublin casino, and they allowed players who were barred from every other casino to play there. Its a tough market to break into anyway but they didn't give themselves a fighting chance. Wonderful building though.

          Is this the place in the old cinema that only opened a couple of months ago? Is it the whole operation thats closing or just the poker room?
