3. The poker boom is over numbers are down everywhere so it would be inline that yours are down as well.
4. Online poker i believe has increased your business not hurt it. If not for online poker I know i would have never stepped in your card room and neither would have many of my friends. i would have never expirenced horse racing while i was there playing cards, thus would not head over there on a Saturday with friends now to bet the ponies.
If canterbury is behind this move it is extremly short sighted and poor business. online poker brings more people into your card rooms then any advertising or marketing you could ever dream of doing. IMHO
