Just back from DTD

[Nakor]

Just got back and the trip is worth the A17 and A52.

Its some "wow" moment when you walk through the door for the first time, I am sure that will only surpassed when you walk through the door and it is full, a sight I look forward to seeing.  The layout, decor and spec are all of the highest order.  Time I feel will bring experience and confidence which might make it even better, if that is possible.

My tournament was short but sweet and was good to meet so many Blonde's again.  Thankfully an intersting 1/2 cash table kept me entertained for many hours, with Zim, Vinni and RichEO among many others helping to distract me from some awful tourney play and thankfully making the trip profitable.

I told Rob he should be very proud of what he has achieved, it is an amazing place to say the least.  I will support the place till I can no more, thankyou Rob and Team it is some vision you have realised.

Just curious among the hype, are the rake structures employed standard? I'm reading a £0.50/1 game is £10 cap at 5%. 10 big hands is stacking someone...pretty sick, no?

nobody wants to hear my AA v KK story from last night, but suffice to say, I got to sample some side action last night, rather than a record setting second consecutive final.


I was sat next to you and i felt a bit ill on the AA v KK  -did you get your Hoi Sin ?

the hoi sin pork was lovely thanks.

I played 2 hands in 1 hour in the .50/1 cash game and was up £110 so can't complain. would rather have gone deep in the tourney but there's always next week, and the next week, and the week after..........

I know - the thought was going through my mind this morning - this is going to be very bad!

[M3boy]

2hrs to get there (leaving at 3.30) and stopping for Petrol in Cambridge

1 1/2hrs to get home.

Not too bad a journey tbh.

Fantastic Club - made for poker players it truely is. Good tables, comfy seats, space between tables and excellent layout. Competent dealers and staff.

Was good to meet up with old friends as well as put faces to some blonde names.

Only think I would say is why is there no cover from the door to the covered smoking area? I presume this must be because of some sort of planning laws? As Luton is the same (all be it only 3 ft uncovered). Would a roll up lean to not get round these laws? (assuming they exist)

So you were lagging it up then!

Congrats everyone on their cashes at DTD, I hope to join that list sometime soon.

This post is slightly misplaced as I'm at DtD now rather than just back from it, but I can't be bothered to start a new thread.

It goes without saying that the place is top notch so I don't think I need to bother adding anything to the previous superlatives (although Internet Explorer on the internet terminals and not Firefox - interesting choice).

I might attempt the odd update from the tournament, however I'm not very good at chip counting or remembering peoples names or faces, or how hands played out. So the highlight might be that I can positively state that at the end of the first level all the blondeites are still in - even Ironside.

If anybody's interested - and more importantly, if I can remember to do so - I'll report back on any significant action.

Don't bother counting Iron's chips it will be outdated by the time you post the info. Just tell us when he goes out.

Good luck iron

Sorry if my message was a bit garbled this morning , but i was shattered and not at me best typing wise

Wish I could of made it there tonight but I think it was a blessing in disguise, Caitlin was poorly so I decided not to go but after 5 hours I managed to convince Kev to go without me. He set off rather late but at least he would be able to play the STT's, tourney tomorrow and get the DTD experience on the opening week...

He'd been driving for a couple of hours when I received a call... "Jane, I've crashed the car....."

HE'S OK!!! - the car... not so much.

So I've been trying to sort out travel arrangements for Kev stuck in the middle of nowhere, car recovery, sort out insurance and what a nightmare it's been... so much for being Fully Comp with full breakdown cover. All I can say is thank god I wasn't driving, we may not of got away so lightly.

So glad Kev is ok..car's can be replaced ..x
