I really appreciated it when late reg became part of the game as due to work commitments missed many games in my then local casino if my bum wasn't on the seat in time.
Even now when circumstances are against me I find that late reg gets me to a game I would have had to miss, so I want late reg to continue but be limited which in my opinion is to the 3rd level, which surely must enable 95% or more of the expected field to get to in time.
I also feel re-entries need to be looked at. An advice given to me which I still feel appropriate is to treat the re-entry tourney as a freeze out and play your A game from the first card dealt.
Again, the need to meet huge guarantees seems to be the main driver for re-entries and a huge guarantee grabs attention and gives someone a chance to make a wonderful return possibly life changing). As all things I do in life I want to be successful and approach each game with a positive outlook yet realistically my opportunity is limited due to luck and skill factor (not sure which way round there :-).
Shows my age but doesn't seem many years ago that the then poker regs, messrs Camel, Trumper, Devilfish, Hendon Mob and more would travel the length and breadth of the land to play in a £100 main event which may have had 120 runners max, freezeout too.
I would love a regular monthly 2/3 day competition which would give a good payout say £100,000/150,000 guarantee and with a buy-in, re-entry structure that would enable DTD to meet the guarantees (failing to make guarantees is not good for DTD long term, it is a business after all) and hopefully satisfy the majority of punters (good luck with that).

/7s. By chance I had been watching the the horses in the pre parade ring and noticed the stable handlers of the two horses collecting money from others - not a great deal of money it seemed but as racing staff were not paid huge sums it looked significant to them. I followed the one with the money to the bookies and she bet the not so fancied runner - which was too good for me to ignore - and it duly won. Obviously the fav was one the shrewdies felt was best form wise but maybe just maybe the stable staff felt their other horse was good enough and better value. i know the reverse is true and stable information can be so wrong but hey ho thats life.
