DON’T FORGET MONDAY NIGHT IS NOW £30+£10 BOUNTY HUNTER

SUNDAY NIGHTS WILL NOW BE 6PM START WITH A NEW STRUCTURE

Well we have now been open just 7 weeks and things are getting better and better here at Duffs. We now have over 850 members and rapidly approaching the 1000 mark so this means that we are getting busier at our tables and at the club in general which in turn means a more livelier club for all of our members.

If you haven’t looked at the website lately we have been working hard to meet all of our member’s demands and have launched a number of promotions to keep everyone happy. With this in mind we have now decided to launch a new league and guarantee a sum of £5,000 for this league. The details of this will be at the foot of this letter and on our website.

We have also decided to have a Grand weekend madness promotion where we will guarantee £1,000 for this coming Friday, Saturday and Sundays events. Whilst in the guaranteed mood our next £100 Freezeout event on Saturday 29^th August will now also be a £5,000 guaranteed event. Please book your seats for these events to help us cater to your every need.

We will shortly be announcing details (within the next 2 days) of a series of freerolls for our members and will be putting up £2,500 for these games so keep looking in for all details.

We will shortly also be announcing details of a help for heroes charity event where we hope to raise a large amount for this well deserved charity.

We are striving to make this club the absolute best and are always open to suggestions, at the end of the day it is your club and we want to make it work for you.

OUR CURRENT SCHEDULE

Plus we have free poker with The Live Pub Poker League here on a Saturday afternoon at 2 o clock and all are welcome for that.

Our cash tables are now open at 6 0 Clock every day so a nice little warm up for the main events.

NEW LEAGUE

The 5k League

Appropriately called as we are going to guarantee £5,000 and this is how it is going to work. It will be totally separate to our Summer League which ends in 3 weeks time and when the Summer League ends this will be replaced with a new one separate to the 5K league.

On a Friday night we have a £50 Freezeout and on a Saturday night we have a £25 double chance tournament and the league will apply to these 2 games.

Players will receive 1 point for every time they turn up for a game and the following points will be applied depending on where they finish

1^st 15 Points

2^nd 12 Points

3^rd 10 Points

4^th 8 Points

5^th 7 Points

6^th 6 Points

7^th 5 Points

8^th 4 Points

9^th 3 Points

10^th 2 Points

There will also be a randomly drawn bounty player every night where if you knock this player out you will receive 2 points.

The league will run from Friday 14^th August and finish on the 29^th November. At this stage the player who tops the league will receive £400, £300 for second, £150 for 3^rd, £100 for 4^th and £50 for 5^th. The top 75 (including the top5) will then have all their points multiplied by 100 and then converted to chips for the final freeroll game. This will be on Saturday 5^th December. At this game we will guarantee an amount of £4,000 to be paid as per usual tournament structures. If anyone cannot make the 5^th December we will put an appropriate additional amount into an online freeroll. There will be a small charge of 10% from each weeks prize fund which will go to this fund.

JACKPOTS

Our Royal Flush Jackpot currently stands at £409 and the bad beat Jackpot is at £387 so every night has plenty of potential to take away one of these jackpots for a £1 entry fee. Commiserations to one of our players last Friday who hit the Royal Flush but missed out on the jackpot as he had omitted to pay his pound.

Hope to see you all soon

Well what a weekend that was!!!

Firstly please accept my apologies for the lack of updates on here but I lost the best friend I ever had last week and times have been hard for me. My mother has always supported me in everything I ever did and will miss her so much. In future the site will be updated daily and we are working hard on getting it revamped.

Our first £100 freezeout attracted 52 players and a wide range of cash games. Many thanks to all those that attended and were patient enough to bear with us on our electrical problem. Thankfully we managed to get this sorted and were able to carry on with the event. The whole weekend was a huge success for us and the feedback again was very positive about the club. If you haven’t made the trip yet please do I promise you won’t be disappointed.

The last 2 weeks have seen the club membership grow to over 820 members and everyday it is getting better. We at Duffs Full House have been very pleased with the progress and are heavily promoting the club to make it the best place to be for all of your Poker and Social needs.

Due to popular demand we will now have cash tables open every night from 6 so you can enjoy a game before the main tournaments start. We have also changed our Monday night game to a £30+£10 bounty hunter game where you will receive £10 for every player you knock out.

The more players we can get every night the better it will be for you and we are trying to do everything that we can to make your club the place to be. We believe we now have the right schedule and once a month will be running a £100 freezeout and every 3 months will start a £500 freezeout. The first date for the next £100 game will be Saturday 29^th August so please put this date in your diaries and feel free to pre-register.

In order to get new members in we have launched a refer a friend scheme where if you bring along a friend you will receive £10 in cash chips once the friend has played in a Poker tournament ( not a freeroll game) and your friend can have a drink on us.

I promise that we do listen to any comments that we have good or bad and will soon be introducing a suggestion box at the club for all of your ideas. Either that or please add your comments on here and we will get back to you straight away.

Poker can be a lot of fun and we will now be offering free tuition on a Wednesday night at 7 O Clock for anyone who wants to learn the game. Wednesday is also our £5 rebuy madness night so ideal for beginners. Please let us know if you would like to take advantage of this tuition. Another good way to learn the game is to play for fun and you can do this on a Saturday afternoon with The Live Pub Poker League which use our venue then. This is a great way to learn the game and make new friends. Of course you would also be welcome to then stay on to our Saturday night games.

The Summer League is now half way through and over 70 people have taken part in this and every one of them has a chance to take away the WSOPE seat. Even if you haven’t played yet you have every chance of taking home the big one so please take the time to look at all the details and if you have any queries about it then please E Mail us.

We will have some BIG news coming in the next few hours and will be announcing this as soon as we can so please keep looking in. Hopefully I will get all the latest details out by the end of the night so see you at the club soon.

On a positive note we now have well over 600 members and continue to grow daily so will be soon offering lots more for our members to enjoy. The main events we have on apart from our weekly schedule are:

Saturday 1^st August

Starting at 4 PM we have a £100 freezeout and have 45 players registered so far. This is a deepstack tournament so lots of poker play for you. Should you bust out early then our usual £25 double chance will start at 8 PM.

Sunday 2^nd August  

Starting at 2PM we have a £200 freezeout which again is a deepstack tournament. This game has a £5,000 guarantee so well worth stopping over from Saturdays play. Our usual tournament schedule will apply on Sunday evening should you bust out.

Cash tables will be available as always throughout both days.

Friday 31^st July

Its Glorious Goodwood week and we will be arranging for a coach to ferry our members to the races. Please book early for this so we can arrange the numbers.

Summer League

The league is hotting up now and there are still loads of points up for grabs to play for a seat to the WSOPE in September. The league runs on a Tuesday and a Thursday and don’t worry if you have missed a few weeks as it is structured so everyone has a chance of the package.

Jackpots!!

We have just launched our jackpots and this is open to everyone and applies to all of our scheduled tournaments.

Royal Flush jackpot

This total stands at £266 and to qualify you must have a Royal Flush with 2 of the qualifying cards in your hand and the hand must see a river card dealt. All players are offered to take part in this Jackpot and will pay a £1 fee. If no-one wins it this £1 will be added to the bonus amount and hence it will grow quite quickly.

Bad Beat jackpot

As with the Royal flush Jackpot players will be invited to pay £1 to take part and this will be added each week to the Jackpot pool until it is won. The jackpot currently stands at £265 and to qualify a player must suffer a bad beat. A bad beat is being beaten holding quads or better. Both hands in the bad beat must hold 2 of the qualifying cards in their hand. The player who suffers the beat will then receive 70% of the prize pool with the remaining 30% shared with the rest of the table who had paid their £1 entry fee.

Scheduled Tournaments

Please note that we have changed our Wednesday tournament. Instead of a £5 rebuy it is now a £30 freezeout.

Poker for Fun

Here at Duffs we have a passion for poker and invite our members to learn to play. It is a great social game and a great way of meeting people. We can offer lessons in the art of the game and have teamed up with both The Live Pub Poker league and The Apple Poker League where you can play for points and use all of our facilities. The Apple Poker league have started using our club on a Wednesday Evening and you can see all of the details of Apple on their website and likewise the Live Pub Poker League use our venue on a Saturday afternoon. Both Leagues are a great way to learn the game and have a nice social time so please look up their websites for further information.

Pool and Darts

We have now entered the leagues so if anyone is a dab hand with a cue or a dart please get in touch to join our merry crews.

For further information on any of the above please e mail in to us at membership@duffsfullhouse.co.uk or duffs16@hotmail.co.uk and we will get back to you right away.

See you soon

Duffs Full House Newsletter

What’s been going on lately?

With any new project there have been a few ups and downs and since we first opened our doors it has been mainly ups rather than downs. Initially we had some quieter nights due to not having the time to market properly but these are picking up now every night. We have spent a fair amount on marketing recently and word is definitely getting out there. From a starting point of just 40 members we now have 570 and this is growing daily. In a period of less than a month this isn’t too bad. The best form of marketing though is by word of mouth so please refer your friends to us. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t like the club so if you haven’t been down yet then please take the time to do so.

The goal for the club was to have a nice friendly environment so that the members can use all of the facilities and become the social hub of the area and we certainly have that. The more numbers we can get at the club the more the committee can do for you and we have been active in getting some fun events for everyone to partake in. We recently held a pool tournament with £75 for the winner and £25 for the runner up and had a free poker tournament that attracted 104 players. We also had a Heads Up Challenge freeroll where the winner picked up £100 for his efforts and the runner up £50 with the two losing semi-finalists £25 each. With regards to marketing any ideas would be gratefully appreciated and we are open to suggestions. Please mail to membership@duffsfullhouse.co.uk if you have any comments to make about the club or any ideas of what else you would like the club to provide.

What’s Coming up?

We have recently updated the website so please keep looking in there and we will also be mailing to our members and sometimes texting to keep you informed on events at the club, please let us know if you don’t wish to be included in these updates.

Poker  

For all members interested in playing Poker, our summer league is now up and running where you can a win a seat at event 1 of the WSOPE in September. The league runs on a Tuesday and Thursday night starting at 8.00pm and will have a total of 16 events; we have only had 3 so far so there is every chance of winning the league.

We are now getting busy every night and have amended the structure to suit everyone’s needs. Every night we also have cash tables available. The structure is now on the main page of the website.

• We have launched a £5k guaranteed event on Sunday 2^nd August at 2 pm which we are now taking reservations for.

• Every Saturday afternoon The Live Pub Poker League use our venue for its players where they play for points and then can stay on to play in our evening games. The first one was held last Saturday and had a very good turnout. This is a free to enter tournament so if you are a beginner this is the best way to learn to play.

• Every Wednesday The Apple Poker league will also host free to enter poker games and will also be running a monthly tournament where you can win a package to next years WSOP main event package.

Both the above are in addition to our usual schedules.

We will shortly be running a number of special tournaments and will be looking into having weekend daytime events as well as the evening and also having say on a Friday and Saturday night a smaller buy in tournament running alongside a bigger buy in tournament so you can select which games you want to play.

Pool

The pool league starts shortly and we will be looking at having 2 teams so if you are interested in playing in this league then please let us know by mailing or ringing in. Our Pool table is also only 50p a game so if just want to play socially we have a great table with a very cheap pay rate.

Snooker

When we renovated the club we kept and re –set the best table and this is a free to use table. If you are of a good standard and want to form a team for league play then again please let us know and we will enter the league.

Darts

If you are a budding Phil Taylor then we are about to enter the darts league so please let us know and we will get your name down for the team.

We will shortly be running tournaments for these and will be having an international chess master coming down to take on all comers so watch the website for all details.

Races at Goodwood

Well the new Summer League has now started and has got off to a reasonable start with 19 players picking up chips to take forward to the final game playing for a seat at Event 1 of the WSOPE.

Hello from all at Duffs.

Friday night was our first big test really as our online partners Boyle Sports had kindly donated $1,000 (£600) to a live freeroll for our members. The players were playing for a grand prize of £250 for 1^st place and paying the top 5. All in all we had 104 players in the event and a great time was had by all. All the feedback we got was positive and the whole event passed  smoothly. There are now some pictures in the gallery of this event and hence the reason for bleary eyes as it did finish a little late. The surviving five ended up doing a chop each taking home £120 for their troubles. We had a few cash tables open throughout the night and quite a few Heads up Challenges going on.  

The management would like to thank all of the staff for their efforts on the night and hope that everyone enjoyed themselves and will come back with their friends and family. There will shortly be an online freeroll for all of our members who have signed up for an account with Boyle Sports so watch out for news on this but you will be playing for a $2,000 prize pool.

This Tuesday 7^th July we will be starting our Summer Super League so check out the details on this website and don’t miss the chance of playing for a seat at the World Series of Poker Europe in September. Also on the 2^nd of August we have a £200 5k guaranteed Freezeout so please register early for this event as we expect interest to be high.

Hope to see you all at the Club soon

Well the club has now been open for about 5 days and the feedback is all good.  We really do believe we have got things right in the layout of the club and the facilities. We have taken on some excellent staff and the atmosphere is great not only with the players but also with the staff members.

We have had some quiet nights due to being engrossed with getting the club ready for the big day and maybe some parts of our marketing have been neglected. We are now having a huge blitz this week and embarking on a number of courses of action so that we can fill the venue for all of your enjoyment. We are putting on a free poker game on Friday 3^rd July for everyone to attend (please reserve your seat as we expect the seats to fill) details of this can be found under the latest news section.

We have also changed our tournament schedule so please look in there to see what’s on. In the coming weeks we will be getting some leagues going and introducing jackpots for any bad beats and Royal Flush Bonuses.

We are always open to suggestions so please feel free to e mail us with any comments and we will be happy to listen and try and accommodate.

Well it’s been a very hectic time here at Duffs Full House.

We battled long and hard to get the club ready for the opening night of the 19^th June and just about made it thanks to a lot of help from friends and family and a sound bunch of tradesmen.

We are very proud of what we have achieved here and believe that we have the best club in the South of England. The atmosphere here is excellent and we have chosen well with our staff and have everything that you would want from a club.

Congratulations to Richard Albrighton who became our very first winner defeating Dave Mortimer in an epic Heads up battle to claim the first prize of over £700.

We will be actively promoting the club now in the next few weeks to get our message out to everyone who has an interest in becoming a member of what will be the friendliest club you can come across. Whatever your interest is in, whether it’s Poker, Snooker, Pool, Darts, Chess etc we are here to look after you and cater for your needs.

Please feel free to join online here so that you will automatically be a member after 48 hours and will then be able to use our facilities.

On a final note please keep looking in as we are going to have some excellent promotions coming along in the next day or 2 to really kick start the club.
