"Dusk till Dawn" Poker Club In Nottingham Diary (by Rob Yong)

[kinboshi]

£30 freezeouts, £10 STTs and cash games with 50p/£1 blinds.  There's definitely something for the 'serious recreational player' as well as the big boys (and girls).

Sounds absolutely spot on to attract the right sort of people across the board.

I have to hand it to Rob (and co.), once you are used to playing higher stakes it wouldn't surprise me if most players would lose an accurate perspective as to the level that the lower level buy ins should be pitched at. But IMO £30 - £50 freezeouts are spot on and I think this is the perfect level for me and other enthusiastic beginners to get some serious practice (not crap shoot/pot luck rebuy practice), without breaking the bank.

Planning, right down to the finest of details - impressive, impressive, impressive.
Poker folk will travel miles for a weekend at DTD, no question. Somewhere for them to stay seems to be the only small problem I can envisage.
I do have a tent, though.

yeah and the higher stake freezeouts can run at the same time....perfect

It would be easier to just move to Nottingham - a DtD housing estate?

now that would be something...none of the neighbours get up to go to work in the morning or come back from work. everybody just playing online and every evening the estate is completely empty because the whole street would be at DtD...let's just hope the spouses get along with eachother lol

Can you be a trader and also be in the $$$club?

No, but there will be a separate scheme for traders to get onto events on DTD Tour.

Just a quick note to say that I'm meeting TK on monday at 1.30 to discuss how BP and DTD can help eachother. DTD online card room is targeted at the "bigger players" raking £1,000 + per month so I am hoping that there will not be as much conflcit of interest as I had originally envisaged. TK is one of the first people I met in poker and we go back a long way, so hopefully we can sort something out and we will have some news next week. Unfortunatley TK could not make the last meeting we scheduled due to TV comittments, but it looks like we will have a chance to spend ome time together on monday.

I just checked my BP account, it has $6,409.79 dollars in, since the DTD online card room will not be launched for at least 8-12 weeks, maybe longer, I'm gonna play on BP until DTD launches and hopefully this should generate some rake for BP, I normally rake $15,000 - $20,000 per month, as I play 6-8 screens at the same time. I don't think tribecca has the bigger games but hopefully I can bust some blondites on heads-up tables as my new bankroll increases skywards.

Seriously, I know that people reading this thread really want DTD and BP to work together, despite us both having an online card room. I am one of the oldest serving Blondites and have only ever posted on this forum, so lets hope me and TK can see eye to eye.

See you at the tables.

Yes..............I could afford them before DTD! But sometimes smaller stakes can be more fun and I needs some at the moment!

you will earn a sick amount of action points if you rake that much, you can get a trip to vegas with them if your a bit skint.

[Tractor]

I will be trying to go to dtd one weekend a month(wife permitting).
I cant wait....Accommodation being a critical point which im sure Rob will have sorted near the time of opening.
I think your gesture of playing on BP is a great, im sure tk and crew appreciate it.

Good Luck


edit- is there a fixed opening date yet?, if i remeber correctly it was April next year, is this still on target?
