I can confirm that the currency used throughout the poker client will be £ sterling and the time zone displayed throughout the client will be UK time.  I have been reliably informed by the poker network contacts that this currency will also be used within the ECash system.

Thanks guys (thanks for the intro Simon)
I will try and look at the forum more often and answer any appropriate technical queries as and when they arise... At the moment I am busy getting the technical side of Dusk Till Dawn ready for the launch on the first of October. 
I probably met some of you at Rob's party a few weeks back, excuse me if I don't remember all of you personally, but it was a great night...

Ah, the Tikay style of diplomacy in action !

With the recent flurry of activity in recruiting more people into DTD, I've been busy drawing up contracts and arranging meetings. Its very important that everyone who had joined DTD understands exactly what is expected of them, and exactly what they will receive in return. I like to get things crystal clear so there can be no misunderstandings later on down the line, and to ensure that everyone knows what eachother are responsible for.

When poker pros have been recruited into other poker businesses, I have often felt that certain poker pros could have contributed a lot more than just wearing the logos and playing poker(if the business had asked them to), and often this has resulted in deals coming to a premature end, when the "business people" feel they have not received enough "value" for their outlay.

On the flip side, I have also come accross certain pros who have no interest in promoting the business that they are represnting and are simply happy to "make the most of it" while it lasts. As far as I am concerned, everyone must more than pay for themselves to work with DTD, but DTD must also provide support and give clear targets to all of the individuals involved.

I was supposed go to Tenerife today on business with Nick, but true to form, I lost my passport last night, so I missed the 2pm flight today. I only realised after the "home game" that was flimed by Channel 4 last night in my pub, the presenter joined me, Chubbs, Actionjack, Kev O'Connell, Nick, Mpower, Chunkymick, Tony Minnis and Nick Singh for a £100 NL cash game, it was good fun until 1am when Nick said "don't forget your passport tomorrow!". Life, eh......what a plonker!

It looks like I'll miss the next 2 EPT's in Barcelona and London due to work and family commitments. I really miss playing live poker, but my mind is just not on it at the moment. I am still playing online a couple of hours a night (6 tables though) and managed to win $67,000 in August according to my Poker Tracker. What I can't understand is that I although I had transferred all of my winnings into my back account during the month, I only have £1,600 in my current account today! A lot of the DTD expenses seem to be paid in cash, so I guess that must be it. Every phone call or email I get at the moment seems to be reducing my cashflow, but I can stretch to the £30 freezout at the Blondebash this Saturday, altough I may need to get draw there..seriously, my personal finances are depleted to say the least.

It was sad to hear the news about DC leaving Blondepoker, I remember when he first told me of the BP concept at the WPT 5 Diamonds a couple of years ago. He was very exited about working with TK and creating a genuine poker community. In my view an excellent job was done over the first 12 - 18 months, creating easily the best poker forum in the UK, and attracting poker players of all levels to post on the site.

There was without doubt a window of opportunity to take BP to the next "commerical level", but I don't think the vast majority of the members actually wanted this, and consequently, it did not happen as successfully as was hoped. Nevertheless, these is a very strong community of people here, and I am sure that if everyone shows their loyalty and support to the site (ie. playing in the BP card room), it will continue to be the best forum around. Certainly these are lots of synergies that I hope DTD can have with BP in the future, both in terms of the social and business side, and we will do everything we can to support the BP site and community as DC and TK have helped DTD a lot over the last 12 months.

I feel a bit sorry for Nightfly, Yogi Bear and Aces Trumper. The delays in the licencing process for the Dusk Till Dawn Club have meant they have been left kicking there heals while the rest of us we have been focussing on the online side. However, short of saying "screw the licence", this has been unavoidable. Hopefully they can become more invloved as we commence the re-fit on the 1st October and feel more part of things.  There is a lot of planning and work to be done for the club, and I am meeting with Aces next week to start toi kick this process off.

This project just gets bigger and bigger for me, I am truly finding it equally as diffilcult as when I was the full time MD of sfgroup, maybe because I have little experience in this field. I do find some parts of the project enjoyable, but most of it is very time consuming and tedius. I can't wait till I can see the wood from the trees, relax in the VIP room with my friends and log onto dtdpoker.com after a few beers when I return home from the club! I guess we are 6 months away from this, but I have good people to help me deliver this.

See you all at the Blondebash - I want £1 for my charity for evey person who asks me those fatal words, "so when is the club opening, Rob?"

Cheers Rob

[booder]

Pete that TK is an old chuffer dont let him bother you.

I think it's great that other guys involved in DTD are giving us updates as well as Rob.

I can see Rob being weighed down with £1 coins at teh BB3 though - with everyone asking him when the club opens and giving him a quid
