1  Poker Forums / The Rail / THANK YOU & 8 MAX on: February 27, 2015, 10:18:48 PM
£1,002,000 ! MASSIVE THANK YOU & 8 MAX DETAILS

What a day, we were short on qualifiers but scraped the £1M GTE, with Samuel Trickett again being the 1000th entry! Because we hit the £1M GTE, the 16 players who won £1K seats for Sky UKPC in live club events will be able to carry them over rather than have them added to the prizepool.

I would just like to say on behalf of DTD and Sky, thanks for supporting us again, and huge thank you for all the staff who made today happen. With so many players in the £1K main and rammed to capacity, of course, we were unable to start the 8 max, so I have spent the last hour consulting with players and decided to run the 8 Max tomorrow at £500+£50 buy-in, £50,000 GTD (so half the buy-in but same number of runners). Details of 8 Max;

Day 1A Sat 3pm
Day 1B Turbo Sun 12pm
Day 2 3pm
50,000 chips / 45 minute clock
Cheers and thanks again, one of most amazing days at the Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club

OK, so this post is somewhat ambitious and likely futile...but...

Is there any chance of an additionaly online Day 1 being added for the UKPC mini?

I'm sure it would run on say Saturday evening and given some people missed out on Monday migt allow extra players the chance to play.

You'd get at least 1 player anyway. Me!

We can't change the schedule mate, some players would slag us off saying that we only did it to hit the 2000 runners, sorry mate

Guys,

We now have a Facebook Group , hosted by Michelle Orpe. It's a restricted Group ONLY for UK players with partypoker accounts.

Handy for quick questions that online players have and Michelle will also be doing promos in there for members of that Group. This will allow us to communicate directly to UK online players and not get Blonde cluttered up with  loads of online questions.

Rob want to have Blonde more for "feedback, discussion, opinions" rather than "I can't find this tournament in lobby etc".

This Group will work alongside partypoker support who will sort technical issues out for players.

The link for the Facebook is here https://www.facebook.com/groups/796187697121159/?fref=nf

Cheers Aces

well one things for sure...those 1p feeders are seeing a huge increase in traffic 150-250 runners for the last few days in each one.

I think its because these are the only sats we currently have on site, when we start the Sky £1K sats this Sunday and the Grand Prix Golden Chips Sats on Monday,  im would expect these pennyroll numbers will drop.

Dear DTD and Blonde Members,

Since announcing the partypoker DTD agreement Nicola and Glenn have been inundated with emails and messages so they have prepared these FAQ’s for you. This blog post addresses the questions that I am most likely to be asked in the DTD bar and smoking area!

Rewinding to Jan 2014.......
Last year I blogged about the stagnation of UK poker, apportioning some of the blame to the online poker sites who, in my opinion, were focussing on the short term revenues from high volume grinders at the expense of investing in grass roots poker, welcoming new players into this game that we all love and developing their software and products to provide a genuine level playing field for recreational players.

I said that we desperately needed one of the big online poker giants to step up and take on the challenge of re-generating the UK poker scene - it is a lot easier to introduce someone to poker when he is sitting at home in his y-fronts and slippers than drag him out of his house to a live casino card room, which in itself can be a daunting experience for a first-timer.I volunteered my own time and DTD’s services to work with such a company to help them bring the trust back into online poker by working hand in hand with the UK Poker Community.

But I then got knocked off course..........
I then got knocked off course from my online poker mission when DTD agreed to host the £3M WPT UK. This meant that I was chained to DTD’s online deal with iPoker until the end of October because we needed to run such a long online qualification campaign to ensure that DTD repaid partypoker’s and WPT’s faith in hosting a WPT Main Event outside of London.

Back to the job in hand............
After the WPT UK, I decided to renew my search for an online partner who had the scale, reach and genuine appetite to re-ignite the UK market. I got off my backside and went to see the decision makers at potential online partner companies and, after considering the options, I signed a contract with partypoker in January and met face to face with all partypoker departments in Gibraltar and London. I am pleased to report that all levels of the partypoker organisation are fully behind improving their poker offering and growing the UK market, I am a great believer in 'where there is a will there is a way' and there is a strong will from partypoker which is exactly what I was looking for.

DTD and partypoker already make a good team......
DTD’s first co-operation with partypoker was the ‘24hr Big Game’ - I am still trying to forget about that AA QQ hand with Tony G, then ‘The Road To Old Trafford’ - won by Sam Trickett (below) who donated all his winnings to charity Smile, and most recently the record breaking WPT UK in Nov 2014.

DTD’s Live Club will get bigger and better.......
DTD’s Live Club will have partypoker branding which my long suffering partner, Alex Ottewell (right), is currently project managing with partypoker

DTD’s monthly £300 Deepstack will be rebranded ‘The partypoker Deepstack’ and grow to be the biggest mid-range buy-in live event in the UK by qualifying hundreds of DTD and partypoker players every month

DTD’s Grand Prix will be rebranded ‘The partypoker Grand Prix’ and we plan to officially launch the partypoker DTD partnership with our largest ever Grand Prix  bringing DTD and partypoker recreational players together at the DTD Club

 The partypoker WPT is agreed in principle to be at DTD for the next 3 seasons  and will be DTD’s flagship higher buy-in event that we look to build each year

WPT’s Hermance Blum: “au revoir DTD online and bonjour partypoker UK”......

DTD Online Poker ceases to exist on Feb 19th – we are now part of partypoker UK with a dedicated DTD tab to be displayed within the partypoker lobby which is where you will find DTD online satellites and tournaments accessible to all partypoker players

DTD iPoker accounts are not being migrated to partypoker, DTD players need to open a new partypoker account here or just use their existing partypoker account

The partypoker software, cash games, STT’s and MTT’s, is compatible with Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android
Sky Poker UKPC Mini £110 and UKPC Main Event £1M online satellites will run on partypoker from Mon 9th Feb and UKPC Mini Online Day 1’s on partypoker from 16th to 19th Feb
 
Dedicated focus on the UK Poker Community.........
partypokeruk.com website is under development and will provide players with news, updates and announcements for partypoker UK online and live events

Michelle Orpe is hosting the partypoker UK Twitter Account, the partypoker UK Facebook Community Forum

Richard ‘Tighty’ Prew (right) will be posting announcements, news and updates on the ‘Official Richard Prewpartypoker UK Announcements, News & Updates” on the Blondepoker Forum and is planning a special Blondebash at the DTD Club

The partypoker Grand Prix UK Tour.......
To generate interest in poker at the grass roots level across the whole of the UK, wGary Oakese will be launching ‘The partypoker Grand Prix Tour’, planned to be £50 buy-in with £250,000 GTD for each leg. 5,000 entries requires ‘DTD size’ venues and Gary Oakes (right) is in discussion with various football stadiums
The partypoker Grand Prix Tour will bring the DTD experience to you – the full DTD Crew will be present including Simon Trumper  to announce shuffle up and deal and the DTD Valets to serve you

 
I will be personally working very closely with the key partypoker decision makers........
As part of the partypoker DTD agreement, I will be personally working very closely with the key partypoker decision makers and will provide a consistent communication channel between them and the UK Poker Community.  Currently the UK market is only 11% of the partypoker.com player liquidity, and if you include all of their regulated markets, a much smaller overall proportion, but add partypoker’s significant 2015 UK investment in television, online and media investment to this partnership with myself and DTD, I believe with hard work and the UK Poker Community’s support, the UK can become a much larger country on partypoker.com.

Keep the faith with me and please be patient and constructive...........
Rome was not built in a day and neither was DTD - it was two years and £2m of delay costs before the government would even let us open our doors, but even the most opinionated poker player in the UK would struggle to say that DTD has not delivered exactly what the UK Poker Community ordered.I need everyone who has faith in me delivering to get behind partypoker UK and not bust my balls over any previous partypoker experiences or current partypoker niggles, gripes and moans. Equally, please do not keep any current constructive negative feedback to yourself, but rather than slaughter me, DTD or partypoker on social media, give me your constructive feedback on the Blondepoker Forum thread titled “Official partypoker UK Constructive Player Feedback” - I just need a little patience on your part to deliver the improvements. Re-invigorating live and online poker in the UK means everyone will be a winner, not just recreational players but pro players will also benefit from a larger player pool.

What if we don’t deliver........
Worst case scenario, throw your DTD membership in the bin and close your partypoker online account!

Thanks for taking the time to read this, Cheers Rob

P.S. On Sundays at 7pm, partypoker have a $200,000 GTD tournament ($200 buy-in), Nicola is doing a promo on this MTT for a DTD VIP £5000 Platinum Package- if any DTD Live Club Member that signs up to partypoker this week and binks 1st place in this Sunday’s partypoker $200K, DTD will give that person a £5,000 DTD VIP Platinum Package.

And can all you guys who drink my VIP bar dry at every DTD major poker festival when we put these nosebleed GTE’s on for you – do me a personal favour and flick in the $200 so we can start building this weekly partypoker tournament into something even bigger and more special. In the last two weeks there has been plenty of value in this $200K GTD MTT so your help with this tourney will be much appreciated at the DTD bar next time I see you all Smile

P.P.S. I promised our DTD VIP Hostess, Rebekah Hemsley that I would promote her Miss England campaign on my next blog post so here goes in Mr Simon Trumper’s (self-appointed Head of DTD Female Recruitment) own words…..”There are 2 ways to vote for DTD’s Rebekah, either like her photo on this Facebook link or TEXT ‘MISS SFH316’ to 63333”

Sounds like good news.

Although does this mean the headache-inducing cloths on the tables will be staying?

Someone from the online team will be in touch with the options for unused tokens

IT’S PARTY TIME FROM DUSK TILL DAWN

Dusk Till Dawn (DTD), Europe’s premier award winning live poker venue, are delighted to announce a multi-year branding and online agreement with partypoker, the leading poker brand of bwin.party digital entertainment plc, the global, publicly listed online gaming company.

Later this month, DTD’s online satellites and online tournaments will move to a dedicated DTD tab within the partypoker online poker room, while DTD’s live club will introduce partypoker branding. Plans are in place to promote poker across the UK with a series of unique online and live events.

DTD owner, Rob Yong, believes this agreement will stimulate UK wide growth in poker at grass roots level by generating new players both live and online:

“I am very excited about this agreement, over the last seven years, with the support from our loyal members and the UK poker community, DTD has grown into the leading live poker brand in the UK. partypoker is one of the best known online poker rooms in the world and are fully committed to the UK market, sharing our ideology of working with the UK poker community to provide a level playing field and a healthy long-term poker ecology, this presents a massive opportunity to re-energise the UK poker scene.”

Welcoming the deal, bwin.party’s Director of Games Labels, Golan Shaked said:

“We are looking forward to working with the DTD team who have built a hugely successful live poker experience. Using their intricate knowledge of the UK poker scene gives us a fantastic opportunity to reinvigorate the partypoker brand and attract a new generation of players”.

Cheers ACES

We only tend to post on the sheffield FB if it's defo relevent to sheffield based players
