Wow, what a night at Dusk Till Dawn, 132 players + 10 cash games !

[Woodsey]

How does this fit in with the business model..?

132 players have got to service o'heads and service finance on £3mill of capital expenditure?..not possible.

What volume do you need to be on target to break even?

Yes, I agree, its not possible, but the place does look really great and I like going there and passing time with friends, you just can't put a price on all of the good times that I know I will have in future at dtd.

Cheers Rob

To be honest its a bit cheeky of anyone to ask these sort of questions about Robs/DTDs finances etc etc. All I know is that DTD is a fecking top place and I will be supporting the club as much as much as I can, simply because its an awesome place to play poker and there is a good bunch down of people down there. I'm more than happy contributing whatever I can to the cause by doing that and it would be more if I wasn't such an online cash game fish.............

Has Rob not said from the very start that the club was HIS own Poker room which was for a friendly game and it did not really matter how many came through the doors as long as the people that did had an enjoyable game.

Last night there was 75 runners in the £100 fo and l seen 10/11 cash games going at one point. This must be better than Rob and the team ever expected for a Saturday night. There is a hard core of local players forming already, which numbers 60+ but last night l seen many decent brummies including Marcus Beeb Jones, Steve Holden and Chris Johnson. Along with these, lots of Blondes attended of which l seen RED DOG leaving around 5.20am this morning.

I think people who moan, complain or make comments about the financial situation at dtd should read over Rob's original DIARY and u will realise that making a few quid was never important but would be a bonus! It is an exceptional place with probably the best atmosphere l have ever encountered in poker! Rob, Darren, Nick, the two Simons and all the staff interact with you from the moment u enter the building and wether u win or lose, u leave having experienced a lovely evening. Tonight l heard someone complaining about paying for a diet coke, to which l said to him, go back to Gala and drink the piss water they call coke. As for paying for a tea, l will pay for it anyday of the week as long as it is decent and the person bringing it to me doesn't resemble the Hunch Back of Notre Dame.

Come on people, lets give it the backing it deserves. I think Mr Yong will be playing tonight and l heard a rumour he might be putting an equivalent bounty on his barnet(£200). Also l believe Tikay is making an appearance, how can anyone resist!

Cheeky??? F*ck me there's a 4,000 page chuffin thread about the feckin place.

I was merely asking because it would be a disaster for Rob, (and the poker community too I guess), if DtD didn't make it and wondered where they were vis a vis 'Actual vs Budget'.

Good win by the way - used my chips well. (better than I would anyway)

Unlucky "Pablo", see u again soon hopefully m8. I will get u a drink mate. If u had been around Neeko l would have treated u, Marcus and I headed next door for a bit of light entertainment after the comp, was EXTREMELY good  and another advantage of the dtd location.

Good Luck
Mick

Good Man. I've fixed it with Rob so that you are on my table. Hard luck you, eh?

[julian]

oh to be so lucky

[tikay]

oh to be so lucky

And you need to avoid me, too. I'm rampant.

[tikay]

More value is heading North up the M1 from Luton - snatimaras & Dingdell.

Gonna be a good night.

[robyong]

[Ecosse]

I'm hoping to play my first comp at dtd tonight aswell. See u there.

I thought from your diary that one of the conditions of dtd getting the license was that you could not play Rob ?

I'm hoping to get down myself soon from Glasgow, but in the meantime massive respect to you Rob.

Dougie.
