Looking at going to DTD Nottingham in the next few weeks but would be getting a lift from my girlfriend - we live about an hour away, now this would be my first time in a live tourney and don't really want her to just get home and then me ringing up to say I've bust out already.

Just wondering if I'm in the tourneys is there much for her to do around the club, is there a lounge area etc?

Cheers in advance!

MrsB thoroughly enjoyed herself...up to a point when we went down.

Just make sure Boshi doesn't end up talking to your Mrs, you won't hear the end off it "He's lovely, charming etc."

Yeah mate there's a lounge area, bar and sofas as well as computers - she's able to use the internet access on any for as long as she wants.

There's also a cinema across the road.

Cheers, hopefully I'll be able to persuade her to come and hang around then!

Any tips for a first-timer playing live, don't want to turn up and make a complete tit of myself  ;D

Tell them it's your first time.

If there's anything you don't understand, ask.

Announce your action.

Remember, we've all been there.

If you see Laurence Gosney tell him his a knob from greekstein...that should break the ice

newark to notts doesnt take an hour btw:)

there is the internet there also that might consume some time

Maybe not an hour but a good 40 minutes, with all the road developments what are going on so thought best to overestimate rather than under ;).

Cheers for all the tips. Hopefully I won't do anything too stupid :D

His girlfriend is driving !!

Yeah, don't worry about doing anything stupid.  Everyone has to learn, and there are some who've been playing for years who still do stupid things and never learn.

Good luck in the comp :)up

Give a shout on here closer to time.  Might arrange to meet a few more blondes while you're there.

what was it about you going down that made her stop enjoying it?

Great advice, Probably best not to mention its your first time though(imo). Just sit and enjoy the game
if you are courteous towards the other players you will have no problem.

Why, do you think they won't know?  :)

The most common that always marks out a newbie is getting caught out by the single oversized chip rule. If you intend to raise, either put in at least 2 chips (525, 1025, etc), and/or announce, clearly, what you're raising to. If you just throw in a 1000 without saying anything when the blinds are 25/50, it's a call, and there'll be a big newbie arrow pointing at your head :). If you have no change and want to raise it to 200, say that BEFORE you throw the 1000 in.

But it's great. I still remember my first live tourney (only 3 years ago, at DTD), and it's an exhilarating experience.


This. I'm there at least once a week, and there are many here who are more frequent than that. Before I moved house I did this journey from near Collingham, and it was only 40 mins from there (Newark + about 8 mins). Easy easy journey, A46, A52, ring road. My record getting home late night was 28 mins. But remember, speed kills. ;whistle;

Good luck!

Hey, another blonde from Newark.....fantastic!

Sending PM!

He won't be able to reply Matt until he has 10 posts.. Just so you know.

Cheers for the PM Matt, some interesting information in there. Do you ever play anywhere in Newark? I know there is a few pub based games but not really sure if there worth bothering with.

You Reds!

No mate, I work shifts and have 2 kids as well, and to be fair, after playing at DTD with all the dealer dealt games, everything else is 2nd best to be honest.  I'd rather save my cash and go to Notts.

If you play online, you can find me losing on Full Tilt....username OMGmiffyallen

yup DTD is the nuts, not been to anywhere outside of London that remotely competes. And even in London its only the Vic that is on the same level. try and relax, be friendly, dont worry about asking questions, the people you'll be playing against will all be relatively new to it anyway and are a friendly bunch. Don't get flustered by it all because it can be quite daunting. Good luck.

GOOD ONE ALEX THAT IS HILARIOUS




oh man that's tickled me pink.

haha fuck u i like it!

How ruddy dare you compare it to DTD that's so ridic.

in terms of volume they are similar to dtd, the place is horrible, the staff are mixed (some are good don't get me wrong but there isn't the level of quality that DTD have). the tournies structures/guarantees/changes to the schedule are all pathetic, your worth via table game rake paid denotes your status level and how you are treated, they sure open new games when there is a 20 man wait list......




oh god i'm so tilted that you compared the two that's so sickening.

And don't forget never ever open fold ace king.

This is great advice. You'll get linched!

Open folding it is fine especially if you don't show (though it is on tv  ;ashamed;  ) , 3bet folding + the show would be the baaaaad plays :p
