Went to
dtd last night for my first visit... Took the wife and two mates along..
The building is terrific ,the decor superb,
We had some food which was not overpriced but was generous well cooked and presented well
Tournement structure is a complete sucess, loads of play... sadly though my cards let me down.. (nothing to do with my F/H walking into a bigger F/H).. The games on offer were excellent with cash games starting all the time.. The valets were courteous and efficient and able to get me green tea which most places can't. Plenty of space round the tables to sit at without bumping into adjoining tables/players.
Nice to see that the dress code is being enforced and this was reiterated over the P/A. the screens dotted around
dtd mean you know exaxctly whats going on at all times. The computer terminals all aroud the building were a revelation.
When you look at the layout of the interior the designers have done a fantastic job. Comfortable without being over comfortable and stopping people from playing cards.
Staff wise you can see some of the dealers are newish but they are all keen ..
Danny recognised me having only seen me once in Blackpool nearly three years ago.. Now that was impressive...
dtd will suceed as the vision of
Rob Yong and the dedication of the staff he has working for him. This is without a doubt the finest cardroom in the country and the enthusiasm for all who work here is impressive...
I know Rob waited a long time for it to open .. but then some of us did too.. We wern't disappointed
