As one of those who most vocally cautioned him against the name, I still hope this fate hasn't befallen him, but if it indeed has here's hoping he can somehow still emerge.
Is any of this true for Cheers? still seems like someone said something possibly as a joke, how I took the sign post. Now last bunch of posts are talking about infringement laws etc.
Do you have he inside scoop?
Anyways, let's talk about poker returning to Salem,NH...in Chasers & hopefully cheers still.
Do you think the crowds will come back to Salem,NH? I want all the places to thrive. From what each room has posted, they are trying to fill holes that other rooms have had(no table chargers, table shufflers-cheers, bad lighting, uncomfortable chairs, good playing chips, plenty of Tv's for Sports, plenty of space between tables (nothing worse then people constantly bumping into your chair as too many tabke are close together or feeling cramped. I am more for the bigger the table the better 9 handed, with Cup holders built in.
I am sure people want food, soft drinks, red bulls, Hard liquor drinks ,beers (bottle & draft), places to eat(I would suggest offering Food runner service with a fee of course to 99s for Chasers in addition to whatever it may offer).
What type of rake is going to be proposed for Chasers? Cheers?
Will there be must move tables?
Having seen a room basically tank (The River, prime example) being in a bad location after moving from another location with another competitor in town(Nashua Boston Billiards). It seemed like it was set up to fail, not thrive. It was a nice room, just never got going in my opinion and then had to change management and downsize.
Boston Billiards moving the room to a quieter area soon. See how that goes. It took months after it opened to grab people, see if the action remains. It seems to get the most foot track in the door, since there is more than just poker.
Manchester seeming to have lost most of its luster that it grabbed post Rockingham. It seems the tournaments and high hand days are what gets people to show up there. Maybe they can get better seating and better chips and possibly recapture some market share( I don't know of they care). Maybe they can stop reserving/pre-book seating for same special regulars. Everyone pays the same rake....
Hampton Falls, seems to have the #'s on a regular basis for cash games/tournaments and now they have comp system,$0.50/hr
What other rooms are out there in NH? are any of them viable or are they just seasonal/occasional? Keene,Laconia,Rochester?? I've never played them, so I am curious.
I'd love to know what is the true influx of new poker players to any of these venues. Ok would guess mostly 1/2 NL. To me it seems like a majority of the same player pools, mainly for 2/4 NL, just at different locations day to day. Maybe survey or someway to track it. I'm sure it sounds dumb, but that data, if it can be collected should be harnessed by the current and future rooms.
I think 10-12 tables max is the way to go. You want full games, not dead empty space. If offering special tournament, just close cash games for it, otherwise I think it is wasted tables.
As far as other casino games (2 of each (Blackjack & whatecer other games seem plenty and 1 or 2 roulette, to offer something for non-poker players)
All are just my opinions and thoughts....sorry I rambled on so much
