Entropically Driven: A Touch of Class

Greetings.. Readers of Entropically Driven...

We Come in Peace ... but may take your chips :P

Weird Alien Greetings Aside... :)

This is the first official post by @thepokerempire to welcome you to THE POKER EMIPRE, a new room set up for you and your buddies to enjoy playing and learning about the finer points of poker...as well as other things in life.

Sure, there are a couple of places to choose from today if you play poker but just like the reasons to deciding which club or which pub to drink at, we at THE POKER EMPIRE want to make the room about you. If you're reading this, chances are you'd have heard about poker (ok lame.. ) but have you experienced the finer aspects that come with complete poker room enjoyment ? Here's what THE POKER EMPIRE can offer

1) Safe Quiet Comfortable Space

Poker is generally a quiet game. Other than the light banter at the table, the only words that should be uttered are 'check,bet,raise and all in' :P but .. no fun being too serious right ? so how do we ensure that nosey nellys don't complain about noise levels? At THE POKER EMPIRE, we have gone as far as to sound proof the room. This means that outsiders aren't gonna be hearing you talk, laugh, shuffle your chips and splash the pot (last action mostly frown upon as bad etiquette. To read on good poker etiquette, click here. Quietness aside, our lounge area features a comfortable sofa, poker reading material, soft lights and plenty of space for you to psych yourself up before a game or pace in frustration after a bad beat :P (a subsequent post will reveal an awesome feature for players who have just been bad beaten! :) )

2) A Poker Table

Well duhh... how can you play poker without a poker table ... well.. apparently you can .. but at THE POKER EMPIRE, we're not gonna make you settle for less... and we insist on the best. . so how about a proper full ring poker table with built in shuffler and dealer cut out ?

The math is simple, the more hands you see per hour means more action and possibly more wins. Thats why our flush mounted shuffler will definately be a feature that you want to "get your hands" on .. no phun intended :P Furthermore, the authentic table felt will make you feel like you're playing at the WSOP final table, chip stacks have to be bought or earned though :P

Did we mention extra comfy chairs ? Who wants a sore butt while playing poker right? Don't be intimidated by the Star Trek Captain's chair, thats just for the dealer :P

THE POKER EMPIRE also ramps up the authentic feel by being lighted with proper spot lamps. Upon request, other lights in the room can be turned off to give the extra cool and intense "Rounders" feel! do notify in advance if you want burly men standing around watching on :P

Finally, Oldies but Goldies, we only use COPAG playing cards for maximum bend and speed when peaking and dealing :)

3) A Well Stocked State of the Art Fridge, Pantry, and Nibbles Jars

Why state of the art ? cos it cools your drinks to the point where you don't even need ice for it. Don't believe it .. come by and try our ice cold COCA COLA and 100 PLUS :) Other selections of drinks upon request so do get your replies in :)

Our pantry also features a range of hot drink mixes, as well as various flavors of cup noodles... from Korean to Thai, Indian to Malaysian :) We also bring in different hot foods from time to time e.g. our opening week has featured true blue Sememban Siew Pao (delivered directly from Seremban!), Big Apple Doughnuts, Macdonald's and KFC :). For those Rounders Fans, Oreos to be included soon :)

Last but not least, we encourage you to stick your hands into any one of our 3 Nibbles jars, which is set to feature different nibbles every month. A certain chocolate covered peanut with candy coating seems to be the most popular at the moment :)

This brings us to the end of the first post for THE POKER EMPIRE, i will be revealing more cool points on the room in subsequent posts. All i can say for now is that you will see more clearly, drink more quickly, Chill more comfortably and vent more readily when you visit the room :)

If you feel like you are interested and would like to be part of our select group of players, Please contact Fish n' Chips on Facebook or email thepokerempire@gmail.com

With all the key points of the room covered, I leave you with our theme song .. no prizes for guessing :P
