Nicely done sir, I only have one tiny challenge with your decision.

After some real wrangling I got my employer to pay for an overnight at Eastmids next month on the 18th for a conference on the 19th, My cunning play was to get to DtD at long last...... and you go and close on a MONDAY!!!!

NOOOOOOO!!!

Back to the drawing board.

I really do salute the decision though Rob, Great to see you won't allow the standards to slip.

I have to say a few months ago when I was at DtD it was by a mile the best place I have ever played poker. Dealers were top class and good fun as well. Nice to see you sticking to your guns, Rob...well played.

Very cool that a decision like this taken after a conversation with mum and noticing the team at DTD losing some interest (through overwork).

A great lesson in getting the right perspective on things.

A brave decision, but undoubtedly the right one. Well done Rob for remembering why you set it up in the first place.

I am a regular visitor to DTD and always enjoy it immensely, but I felt that things started to make a major turn for the worse once it started running rebuys. These are for bingo playing casino punters and DTD is a proper poker club, so it never seemed right.

Opening on a Monday and Tuesday just seemed to serve no purpose either, other than drastically cutting tournament fields and exhausting the poor old staff, a lot of whom seemed to be rapidly losing the will to live.

It is refreshing to see an entrepeneur such as yourself take a proper, honest look at how things were progressing, and then have the balls to actually do something about it.

DTD was already excellent - this development has now secured it's place at the altar of poker nirvana.

Bravo!

..oh yes, and the round of each £30 Pot Limit Tournament was a good idea - please keep it in the schedule!!

Glory be - we've been Robbed!

A terrific decision, & a brave one. And the Bonus of no more Rebuys - perfect!

DTD remains, by a country mile, the World's best Poker Club.

Nice one Rob.
