I had thought the Voodoo was banned as well turns out they aren't and I think its just their stance that don't want to post any more and maybe the posters who did frequently post who worked for Voodoo might of been told not to do so any more.

Plus I think you might of missed this post of mine the other day BK

wow danny I didnt see that can I get cliffs on what that was about please?

Basically what was said above, the pics I just posted are of the new venture that he is involved in obviously the monthly game is Nicks idea and was helped run it by The Voodoo Card Club and it was a success but obviously it wouldnt make sense for the game to stay there while Nick is involved in a new place.

So that seemed to breed some bad blood from the managements point of view towards Nick and eruptions ensued!

That's pretty bad form. Nick runs a good game of the pokers. I wasn't aware he wasn't involved in the monthly game no more.

[Maloney]

Why?

Just wanted to know, seems very strange like.

[tylerdurden94]

He will be involved in the monthly game I reckon as it will be run in the new club he has a part in I reckon.

Just wanted to know, seems very strange like.

Yeah I couldnt believe it when I first heard it but I heard it from 2 people who I would totally believe about it.

[Downtown]

where is the best place to buy one?

no im pretty sure it is 100% gimped to be fair. it was falling apart

price range 500-700

Thats a strange one, Nick runs good game nice bloke 2.

[Bubbleking]

well if you think about it as far as the Voodoo is concerned Nick has served his purpose. Like the Monthly game has become fairly popular and I dont think it will massively suffer as a result of Nick being removed i.e. they can just call it the Voodoo monthly game.

I dont think enough people will stay away on principal to hurt the Voodoo?

possibly not. both voodoo and the new club could run the same structure tournament and provided they're on different days could bring a large field to both. Problem is the Vegas Nights operation brings a lot of pub players to the game who wouldn't play in the voodoo normally.

1: Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

2: It is OK for a man to cry ONLY under the following circumstances:

(a) When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
(b) The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her Blouse.
(c) After wrecking your boss's car.
(d) When she is using her teeth.

3: Any man who brings a camera to a stag night may be legally killed and eaten by his friends.

4: If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever unless you actually marry her.

5: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a mate's fridge is forbidden.
However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

6: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man.
In fact, even remembering your mate's birthday is strictly optional. At that point, you must celebrate at a strip bar of the birthday boy's choice.

7: In the mini-bus, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

8: When stumbling upon other blokes watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who isplaying.

9: You may fart in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment (commonly known as a Dutch oven), she's officially your girlfriend.

10: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach ... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free.

11: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.

12: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

13: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

14: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.

15: Women who claim they 'love to watch sports' must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

16: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

17: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy.

18: If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.

19: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response.

20: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing i.e., both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.

21: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.

22: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly 'just a friend' have carnal, drunken monkey sex. The fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion occurs about what a big mistake it was.

23: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.

24: Thou shall not buy a car in the colours of brown, pink, lime, green, orange or sky blue.

25: The girl who replies to the question 'What do you want for Christmas?'
with 'If you loved me, you'd know what I want!' gets an Xbox 360 End of story.

26: There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics.
Ever.

27: We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below:

* 'GUTS' is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, 'are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?'

* 'BALLS' is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife square on the ass and having the balls to say, 'You're next fatty!'

In fairness i like the club and staff, i don't know the full story( If any) but i certainly wouldn't be trying to ''Hurt'' the club.

It could effect it, think about the players that Nick would of brought in and if word gets around of what happened it could have a big impact on it imo. I suppose the big ones is if they run it again and see what kind of numbers it gets.

In fairness i like the club and staff, i don't know the full story( If any) but i certainly wouldn't be trying to ''Hurt'' the club.

Ive always thought the club was very good and the staff in general but after the whole jobs fiasco and the lack of respect in their response and now the thing with Nick it would probably be a long time if I ever darken their doors again.

61 at the last monthly game - one over the guarantee. I'd say that guarantee mightn't last much longer. Pity as it's a class game, maybe schools being back might boost it a little (or adding tickets to it when regular tournie prizepool hits €600 or so). Can understand them not wanting Nick there with them looking to keep the players and him opening a new place and obv would like his regulars to follow. But he was a big help to them before and played their nightly games fairly often too, the least he should get is a thank you and then explain why they'd prefer he didn't come to the monthly game. Will have to find out for sure what happened exactly before settling on an opion.

I'm a reg in Voodoo but seem to not be there when the shit hits the fan with stories coming out. You hear so many stories in the poker world that it's hard to seperate the bullshit from the truth at times and I don't like forming opinons of people or places over something I didn't see myself. I've heard both sides of the (old) story and there's bad form both ways, but I prefer to just not get involved, not really my problem. Can see what IPB members had a problem with and can see what Voodoo had a problem with. The story about Nick is the one I really want to find out (and will), as my first days in poker were in his pub game in Clonee and have known him since. Top bloke.

Personally I think how Barry's does will have a big effect on Voodoo. Location-wise the D1 is much closer but I think all of the regs from Voodoo have some links to the lads running the new place. Will be interesting to see how things pan out.

Is there anything other I have to do apart from buy a vodafone sim and sticking it in with credit? It would be handy for browsing when going to footy matches.

You just have to go to Settings>Wireless and Networks> Mobile Networks>Access Point Names> and then in there you should be able to see vodafone live or similar. It is pretty straightforward, and that should only need to be checked the first time you use your vodafone card.

A lot of the voodoo heads are probably a bit disilliusioned with the Voodoo site ban. Personally I think its ridiculous too

They are not banned. Both voodoo accounts are able to post. It was requested that they provide some sort of decent answer to the members on a site where they promoted something that turned out to be false promise, but their answers were wishy-washy at best. The last we heard was a PM from one of the people there saying that the person who could provide a better reply was away for a few days, and would respond when he returns. That was months ago. If anyone is 'boycotting' here due to voodoo being banned, then they are misguided. If an individual/club wants to still not post here in light of that, then that is their perogative. However, no account was banned over it, although we did convey our annoyance and request a clarifying answer that has not been forthcoming.

To put it in context. If a club offered a 20k guaranteed tourney, got loads of runners, but then the punters found out it was 20k guaranteed over 10 online tourneys, then people would be rightly pissed off. It is not exactly the same obviously, but there are parallels.
