Hi Rob,

Been following your threads since day one as you are 'Living the Dream' for lots of us. This is the first time I have posted but I had to congratulate you on securing the services of Paul 'AJ' Jackson; with people of this calibre surrounding you, DTD will be a resounding success I'm sure.

I remember going through a lot of similar problems before I opened my snooker club in 1988 and I'm currently experiencing the bureaucratic nonsense of the Gaming Commission, having stopped me holding small poker tournaments in my club; thankfully, you appear to have turned the last corner and are now on the home straight.

I was hoping to take advantage of your 'Open House' and get to your pub but my son Mikey gets married on the 19th so can't make it. (Mind you, I would have had to have set out early to take advantage of the free bar if Colchester Kev is going)!

I wish you every success and can't wait to attend your first tournament.

Kind regards

Micky147

LOL I will be there .... I have already made arrangements to have the JD optic connected to me intravenously

Believe me, The Yongsta is very busy and when youy need a update you should let him know on his thread so please let him know with your post on his thread guys

Update please 

[robyong]

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but not a lot has changed. I'm still waiting for the final gaming board hearing, and we are about the commence works on the club. Steve Warmsley has been helping Nick out with some of the works schedule and the necessary health and safety issues etc.

The main news is that I have recruited 4 more individuals to help with DTD, I have called these people "DTD Executives". They are:

Paul "Maybaya Kid" Zimbler
Carlo "The Dwell" Citrone
Kev "Jonny Walker" O'Connell
Michael "don't call me pepe" Greco

DTD will sponsor these players for main events, buy-ins, hotels and flights, but the players will keep 100% of their prize money. The players can mix and match their events as long as the final table is televised in the UK, or they may just choose to play the events on the DTD Tour (see below).

6 EPT's
EPT Final Monte Carlo
WSOP Main Event
WPT Paris
Amsterdamn Masterclassics

The "DTD Tour", which Chubbs will manage, is made up of DTD live and online qualifiers and various other DTD players including myself, Action Jack, The Shrew and Aces Trumper.

These 4 DTD Executives have been selected by me personally, each for different qualities, and they will have certain responsiblities and targets to help DTD be successful. DTD will be expecting them to be far more than sponsored pros, they will be part of the DTD team, but are being remunerated with tournament buy-ins and expenses rather than a regular monthly wage.These people will be exclusively marketing DTD and will have no other affiliations with any other poker businesses.

So, the DTD team is still growing, I am currently in negotiations with a full time Press Officer to work for Action Jack reporting on the DTD Tour and dealing with all PR for the club and site, Action will also be looking for a web site administrator in the near future aswell. Yes, I agree, I am putting in significant resource into DTD before it even opens, but this is necessary to deliver the product we want to provide.

How do I feel at the moment?..............busy, but clear on what needs to be done.

Cheers Rob

im still keeping up to date if everything to do with DTD, and i must re-iterate the whole DTD experience sounds like it going to be totally Awesome!!

[ACE2M]

They must be the best sponsorship deals going. Good luck to them and good luck to dtd.

Am i right in saying that the DTD poker site will be on crypto? if so i am about to deposit on a crypto site again and was wondering when it will be operational, I currently use WillHills and and depositing/withdrawing is the easiest on the net (will you be using something similar?) sorry for the rash of questions.

really enjoying thse updates and am really looking forward to making a trip up, Keep up the great work guys
