DC and TK are absolutely fine with me posting re: DTD etc but I sort of feel I've been on a bit of a "BP freeroll" marketing DTD over last 9 months on the BP site. They are cool with me using the BP forum to discuss DTD, cause BP is run buy a real great bunch of people, but since the launch of the BP online poker room, I just don't feel its "right" doing it anymore, as DTD will be having its own online room later on in 2006.

I think I'd rather revert back to being a BP forum reader that "poster" and do my marketing of DTD off my own back from now on. By me posting about DTD I am effectively marketing our online site aswell and that doesn't really wash with me. If I saw someone marketing another online poker room on BP for free, even in a subtle way, I'd be a bit narked as a Blondite myself, so I gotta look at things from that point of view.

When I originally started this thread my intention was not to market DTD, but to do something similar to my WSOP diary, DTD is not and will never be a major source of income for me so I have the luxury of being able to do as I choose and what I feel is right. As a BP supporter I don't like 3rd parties piggy backing on BP's success which hopefully will be accelerated by the success of their online poker room.

I appreciate that people want to know what is going on with DTD etc but I've made my decision. Most of the interesting set-up has been done now anyway so youre not missing much. This poker business is full of free loaders and parasites at all levels, so we are going to do things entirely of our own back, as we enter the most critical period, the 6 months before opening, whether we are successful or not!

I have not discussed this with anyone at BP, so please don't cause a big issue over this, as we're all good mates and I'll find it embarrassing, however, obviously I needed to explain myself to people who have followed this thread, so they know why its come to an end.
