Sorry to hear you feel that way Rob, i am sure in the past you have found yourself in these spots but managed to pull through and create a success. Just keep your eye's on the end prize, DTD opening day, when you will officially be crowned "the daddy of UK poker"
As for the leachers etc, fuck em, those who say 30% is not enough, fuck em. You don't need them mate, there are enough people out there who want you to succeed and want nothing in return (other than a top notch poker venue)
Gl m8 and enjoy your XMAS.

. I am really getting it in the neck from other online card rooms, especially for the Rakeback section on our home page. Apparently, its a "cardinal sin", an "unwritten industry agreement", to mention Rakeback publicly, as players who get 0% will start asking for it. Jesus, these sites are happy to give rakeback through affiliates, plaster it everywhere on banners, and give xxxx all to their loyal customers who do direct the their site. Is that my fault?
f*** em
I'm getting players moaning about the 30% rake back deal we are offering. They claim they are on 50% rake back blah blah blah. I'm sick of explaining the difference between net and gross rake, yes, you can get 60% rake back on some sites, but 60% of jack XXXX is less than 30% of your total rake. I'm also sick of telling people that is the max any crypto site can give from 1/1/07..........why would I lie?
f*** em
. Players (inc. some friends) asking me to sponsor them and they will play on the site, or asking me for "sweeteners" etc They just treat me like a meal ticket, where is their loyalty?
f*** em
Certain people working for me in DTD are not supporting me and simply dont care enough, I am having to do everyone else's jobs and some of the issues they waste time discussing are so petty, its a joke. Why can't think about what is best for DTD, not themselves?
f*** em
The Gaming Board are really dragging their feet, after such a positive application process, I reach the final hurdle, and I don't know what is going on with my final panel interview (and they wont even let me play in my own club). Why are they messing me about?
f*** em
Have a great Christmas Rob. the majority are behind you 100%

Rob,its unbelevable how much some people just think of themselves sometimes. I don't particularly know you, but because I'm so excited to play in your club I would have switched my crypto account to DTD anyway even if the rakeback deal was worse than my current deal, just because I felt I should support you. I wish others would do the same just to help you out.
Keep your chin up

Sorry to hear you're having a hard time with it lately. I suppose you must have been through similar times with sf group and after all the hard work you were able step back and be happy it's a success. That day will come with DTD. Hang in there - it's going to be worth it!

Simple rule for the people who aren't pulling their weight Rob, they start or they get replaced. You have hired a lot of staff on good wages and wont have a problem filling their shoes if they are not doing what they should. You shouldn't be trying to do other peoples work.
As for all the other crap I have to agree with flushy and booders comments. Will be worth it in the end, you know that.
Have a good christmas.
Oh and don't sponsor me, I'm crap

You can take solace in the fact there are loads and loads of excited poker players out there who can't wait to have the best poker club in the world just down the road.
It's always going to be a hard slog with such a massive project but eventually when it can run itself you will be able to sit back and be proud of what you have acheived.
F*** the leechers.

indeed...and like Ariston said, People who don't pull their weight get rid of them now. At the start of a project everybody should be full of energy and work their socks off. People never improve once the project has been going for a while, so those who don't do their job now definetly won't do anything for you in the future. You've given guys a great opportunity to be associated with, what could be, the most exciting thing in UK (if not european) poker for a while and if they don't want to work for that they need to go.
and merry christmas and a happy new Year Rob.

I don't know you personally Rob but you are the champion of countless poker players up and down the country who have to put up with rubbish tournies in their local casino's. Me and my mates travel all over the country in search of a decent game and will be there in big numbers on your opening night. So keep your chin up mate, it will all be worthwhile in the end.
