Next weekend's DTD Deepstack £300 Event will be covered by a full blonde DTD Live Update.

DTD have offered to meet the cost, so it truly will be a DTD (sponsored) DTD Update.

It's wonderful news, & I want to thank Rob Yong, Nick Whiten, & Simon Trumper for making this happen. I hope you will all show your appreciation, too.

Between now & then, blonde will give DTD the full treatment, raising awareness of their Site, & the Deepstack Event itself. Probably a free to enter Mini-Comp too, "how many runners?" or whatever. I also hope we can label the Live Update Board "Live Updates, Sponsored by DTD" until, at the very least, next weekend.

My sincere gratitude to all at DTD, who have been such splendid supporters of blonde since way before DTD opened it's doors. I would like to think we have supported them too, & the relationship is, to a degree, mutually beneficial.

Let's now hope the Update & Event are splendid, & "one of ours" goes deep. There is no finer Forum Atmo than when a blonde runs deep in an Updated Event.

I also hope you guys will support DTD Cardroom. As well as blonde Cardroom......

fantastic news tony and well played dtd! now blondes get it won

The arrangement, as at this moment, if for one Update only - next weekend. See subsequent Posts for info on that.

If you would like that arrangement to continue, well that's a much bigger problem, to which NO committment has been made by DTD. But if DTD think the Update has been well received, well, you never know.....

We plan to do a terrific Update, & large up DTD all week. But YOU can help too, by showing your appreciation to DTD, & interacting on the DTD DTD Live Update. It's as much in your hands as ours.

So don't be shy.

Who will be our Updaters?

Oir first choices were Flops & slops. Naturally, under the circumstances, though there was always the chance they may not receive that request well.

I rung snoops., He had no problems or "issues" with doing this, or future blonde Updates. Well done & thank you, him. But he's making his APAT Debut next weekend, at Walsall, so he's not available to us. This time.

Then I rung Flops, & he too said "yes please, I'd be delighted to, if I can make it a 2 person (2 x Updaters) Update". We agreed it would need 2 Updaters, & so Chris said "yup, I'll do it".

Chris told me (this is subject to confirmation) that his chosen Co-Updater will be Jen. That'd be terrific, if confirmed.

We agreed costs for the weekend, & although I cannot be present at the Event, as I'm APAT-ing elsewhere, I have arranged to pay the Update costs (wages, travel, hotel, food etc) in cash, on the day, so they won't have any worries there.

Wow.

How did this come about so quickly?

Simon Trumper contacted me at 2.45am on Friday, once he'd seen the Thread. After toing & froing for a while, we agreed to move it forward later on Friday, at a more civilised hour, Simon suggesting he'd word Rob & Nick.

Rob rang me twice on Friday afternoon, while I was at East Mids Airport, & there followed a flurry of calls, texts & e-Mails between him & myself, & then me to Tighty, Flops, snoopy, & later, an e-Mail from Rob, etc. It was all tied up within hours.

The arrangement is to be formalised on Sunday Evening, & straight after I fly back from Scotland I'm going across to DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) to meet with Rob & Nick.

Right now, it's for next weekend ONLY.

I do know they'd like to have blonde Update all DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) Big Events (including the regular £60k Guaranteed Monthly affair), & that blonde would like to Update them. But this is a big money deal, & it was not discussed.

We shall broach the subject on Sunday evening, & they might say "no thank you". I won't blame them if they do, but there's no harm in discussing it, to see if any options are out here.

For now, let's assume it's for next weekend only, & express our thanks to DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/). That'd be a great start.

This is not the first time DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) have helped us, &/or me.

What can I say?

Long Live DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/). It's the business, & so are the guys that run it.

Ariston FTW imo

Awesome news, well done DTD.

Wiiiiiiiii nice one DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/).



This as players get knocked out, he could make poker trillion puns.

looking forward to it

Yes, I received The Call this afternoon, and was delighted to jump on the one-time-only-but-I-hope-it-continues blonde update bandwagon.  It's been a while since I took a badly framed photo, made a horrific poker pun a la JC, or wrote in full sentences, but.

It should be as fun as a DTD update always is - please join us; thank you to the DTD-Tikay syndicate for getting this one running at such short notice.  Go deep y'all.

As an avid supporter and player at DTD. I would just like to say well done for making this happen!

Wonderful news - I thought you didn't believe in Christmas Tony??? If ever there was proof that christmas existed....

I am APAT'ing but am already trying to qualify for the next one - DTD leaves me speechless...fantastic people. xxxx

Nice one DTD! Gr8 News

Quite a few of us APATing...........but no doubt we will be there in force next month.

Thank guys ;applause; :)up

Blonde and DTD go hand in hand for me, hope it does continue

I'll be on the thread to give support (silently wishing i could be there)

Jim

Excellent news, well done DTD, looking forward to seeing you there.

Ralph - haven't you heard ? The updaters are staying at your place - get that cuckoo clock out!

Brilliant stuff.  Will be following the event from Tighty's laptop at the APAT event!

Nice one Rob, Nick, Simon and everyone else involved at DTD :)up

Good to know I'll have my master railer then  :)up

Geo

yup... working next weekend but I'll be about evenings obv.. :)

Thank you DTD always a class act.

I am also APAT'ing next weekend so won't make it expect to be over to nottingham by 7pm

to be fair, it hasnt been all one side. Blonde has been fantastic for DTD. The incredible interest garnered by Robs diary in the two years prior to it opening meant that it was always going to become the most popular poker venue in the country.

I have always thought there was a natural synergy between the two entities which deserves to be explored further. In business babble - "both companies have the same goals and ideals and are a natural interface." It may be that DTD think that in the main they can stand on their own now and dont need blonde, but I think there is room for further collaboration.

Excellent.

...and you'll be there on the Friday evening as well.  So bar takings at DTD will be good.

That's cool, nice one DTD

Am looking forward to playing this now...

Well done DTD. You've made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I may kiss several people the next time I'm there, so brush your teeth and form an orderly queue.

;indestructable;

FYP

Brilliant news. I too am playing the APAT and as Daniel so honestly suggests, fully expecting to be home in time to follow this update.

Many thanks to the top blokes at DTD!

Great News!
Looking forward to it.

Great stuff, well done all for sorting this.

On behalf of all at DTD we are very happy to help towards providing the live updates for the £300 event.
I'm sure after Sunday's meeting with TK, Rob and myself we should be able to find a solution that helps both parties for future updates.


Regards

Nick

Pucker up..... :-*

That convertible VIP room/dormitory is a very hand facility  ;)

The dtd live update banners are up on the updates board

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0


As you know we're now updating there this weekend, thanks to dtd and Flops/Jen. If you want to support the updates and help persuade dtd to prolong them into future months until we once again can go for funding updates ourselves, please click the banner, download or play some hands on dtdpoker

WATCH AND WIN

Whilst the updates are on dtdpoker are running the "Read 'n' Reap" £10 freezeout on DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) poker, with £100 added, at 8pm. We hope as many blondes as possible support this competition as a way of thanking DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) for their sponsorship, help finance the costs of the update and win DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)'s money!

Serious kudos will go to whoever plays the DTD £300, the £10 online and reads the updates at the same time.

FYP

Me, Jones, Rooks, Brunny and Trigg coming down/up 2mo.

Better get some sleep, see you there.

Lets scoop the l00t.

Can you enter on DTD online site?

  yeah click on the dtd live tab in the lobby

Hi Guys,


Due to high demand we have increased the available seats for online registration to the DTD monthly £300 by another 50.
Already we have over 150 people registered to this event which is now capped at 270 for tonight's £300 No Limit Holdem tournament with £50k GTD at 7pm.

To avoid disappointment please log in to DTDPoker online and register in the lobby for a guaranteed seat on arrival.

good luck

The Update is now live: http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=40047.0

As Scorpion said in Mortal Kombat as he threw a spike at your face: "GET OVER HERE!!!"

An entire 15 of us.. :(

I busted out 1st lol

[ ] I remembered.
[X] Would have been out before young Mr Mcgrath here.

15.........

I'm just so deflated by that.

TBF Tony,

count how many blondes are at DTD or Walsall

Geo

Yes, I think that's fair. I've not seen the Update yet - how many people, roughly, were viewing it, as a matter of interest?

I had a night in with the family last night and was keeping an eye on the updates every now and then. There was no way I was going to play an online game though. I understand that we need to support DTD with this but I am sure there were many others in my boat last night.
Great updates though and gave an awesome showcase for the superb venue that is DTD.
I am sure people will attend DTD as a result of reading the updates alone.

Well, let's hope so. I do think we need to, in some way, acknowledge that DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) have funded this Update, supported blonde since they began (as we have them, too), & they are "more likely" to continue to fund the DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) Updates if they can see some tangible return of at least part of the Cost - be it via Online Tourney participation, more runners at the Venue, or whatever.

This is not - not at all - a sort of "shame on us" view - I'm just being realistic. We can't expect DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) to fund them if they get nil return from the investment. But maybe they have got a return, in general profile-raising, I don't know. I hope so.

I run Nick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=310) Whiten (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=310) last night to express my disappointment that we'd only mustered 15 runners for his Online Tourney. He seemed OK about it, though I'm sure I sensed his disappointment. I shall e-Mail Nick & Rob tomorrow, when I have been able to assess the situation more clearly. I'm a bit disracted by APAT & In-Poker stuff this weekend.

Still, 350 runners for the £300, including half the field who had never been to DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) before - that was something, eh? They really deserved that success.

Having the online added money tourny on a Sunday afternoon/ early evening in future might be better, you'd get me playing to be sure and a lot of blondes play Sunday tournies more than Saturday nights.

I think you'll find next month when there isn't a clash with APAT that the tourney will have more runners

+1 +1

this.

Thanks to DTD for the added money,I'd have played anyway but the overlay was appreciated.Hope to see more people next time.
