I cant resize the lobby in any way and the default size is quite small to the point that all the info in the tourney lobby is very squashed together.  Ive hunted around the settings and tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the latest download link on the site but it still installs the same lobby.  If anyone knows how to fix this can you let me know, if its something that cant be fixed then a resizable lobby is an improvement Id like to see

This might be a stupid question....what happens when you click the little Restore Down / Maximise icon next to the X in the top right hand corner?  I can have either a small lobby or a mid sized lobby, toggling between the two....

There is no maximize icon, just the X and the minimize icon.  Minimize hides it in my taskbar and X obv closes it down

Yeah don't click X....

What platform are you on? I'm on windows, you on the same?  I'll raise it as a bug once I know. So on the default (and only) lobby size you can see, down the left hand side can you Casino, Sports and Bingo under the line under Options, or do you see a double upward arrow under the spanner? (just trying to establish whether it is stuck on expanded or small).  If you can email me a print screen to gary@dusktilldawnpoker.com that would be useful.  Ta  Gaz

Windows 7 and yes I have the double upward arrow.  Will send screenshot now

Personally I think the article is incredibly irresponsible.

Find the magic formula, cash a couple tournaments, have the whole family quit their job. They make it sound so easy I can imagine people handing in their notice Monday after chopping the £50 freeze out on the saturday

I'm sure this is great for DTD and all but just to reiterate what has been said already. Party's online software is a total disaster. They have been having lots of server problems which has including cancelling and refunding all in-progress tourneys and gave pretty much driven away most of their players by adding a fee on withdrawals.

The network is drowning quickly and isn't far away from the same fate as ongame and microgaming imo. I can only hope that this venture is the beginning of an attempt by them to reconnect with their customers and bring them back to the site by, shockingly, offering us a better (if not better at least just actually working) service and like, not ripping us off!

Quite interesting how this thread developed.

It was quickly established that the player had erred, & his hand - according to the rules - should be declared dead.

But then it changed direction, & 4 or 5 players blamed the Dealer.

We don't know at what venue this arose, so we have no idea if the dealing standard is good, bad, or indifferent.

The original ERROR was by the player, not the Dealer. No question about that. And it's possible that the Dealer should have spotted it, though the OP says "it all happened VERY quickly".

How do we end up pointing fingers at the dealer? The original error was not by the dealer, it was by the player.

Even Matt The Hoople Russell chimed in, "it tilts the shit out of me". How would he ever know, he rarely lasts more than an orbit. Is that the dealers fault, too?

Huh?

Surely the dealer and player that was punished are equally at fault, if at all.  Both should be paying attention so that the next 3 people shouldn't act before the player that was punished. 

If the player is new to the game or a bit of an amateur it is this kind of ruling puts them off.  It is stated this all happened in a few seconds give the guy a break and don't muck his hand. Give the dealer a break as well, you can't concentrate 100% of the time. 

More pictures of valets please to help us make better judgements of situations like this.

 

The FIRST mistake was by the player. We can't blame the dealer for that, imo, especially as, allegedly, it all happened so quickly.

...

And the second mistake was by the dealer - I'm not sure how it was relevant that the player did something wrong first. Isn't it part of the dealer's job to control the table?

Well the original mistake is by the guy that acted out of turn. The next players to act OOT have made a mistake but they have seen the guy in their right act and believe the action to be on them. The player who was supposed to act 1st hasnt made any mistake yet in the ruling he is the only one punished.

I think the dealer should be paying enough attention that when the first OOT guy checks and the next 2 are betting and raising that they are stopping the action and returning it to the original player before it has gotten out of hand. Obviously it's not the dealers fault that someone acted out of turn but I think the dealer should absolutely notice it and react to it way faster than the person who is losing their action.

The rule seems to be set up to say that the player who was supposed to act is supposed to notice this and act on it and if they take an unreasonable amount of time to do this or an unreasonable amount of action occurs behind them that their hand is dead, I think if the dealer is doing their job it should never get to that stage.

Everytime I see these threads on here I always think everyone is outrageously harsh on "reasonable time to act/bring it to everyones attention", if you're playing live poker and action is on you, by this time you're probably trying to count the pot, think of betsizes and ranges etc and you're not looking at all to he people on your left (made even harder if a dealer is sitting between you) because you would never expect them to do anything until you have done something.  When they acted, maybe he was looking at his stack/cutting out chips and there was no way he could reasonably see the next people acting behind him nevermind react to it and by the time he could notice it might take them a few secs to think wtf is going on and then speak up.  By this time is absolutely reasonable that 1 person has acted out of turn and 1 or 2 others have followed on with the domino effect and have checked/bet/raised very quickly before the player speaks up.  I think speaking up within a second or two or else your hand is dead is quite unreasonable and I think players should get a reasonable amount of time depending on their point of focus when everything kicked off, its absolutely unfair for them to have their hand killed every time when theyre the one person that didnt do anything wrong.

Personally I think the dealers should be more on top of this type of thing and stopping the action and returning it to the original player before it gets out of hand.

Yeah I'm fine. Assume im always fine with adding stuff or rolling it over

I'll take it if Craig doesnt

Satellites continue this week on both DTD Online, at DTD Notts, & on Sky Poker.

Who do I contact about changing my starting day? It's not mentioned in the email and not obvious on the quick look I had through the sky thread

I assume it's ok to stack sat entries?

If we have seats from sky sat, dtd online sat and a sat from a live event (the mini for example), which takes priority when it comes to using them? Can any of them be used for the 8max side? And what happens to the seats if they're unused?

Yeah, ballache to reg now that people can't reg directly from their stars accounts. I think loads of people are less likely to travel to it since they made it 3 days and have completely brutalized the structure compared to similar buyins elsewhere. Also the fact that it's in London and its joke expensive there for accommodation.

Expect ukipts to take a decent hit on numbers this year

2% plz

Mick had been paid, need details from everyone else.

Small loss over the two, could have been worse, I heard some players played all 3 Scottish comps and did not cash
