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

I cannot believe more obstacles are being put in your way after all your hard work and effort.

I wish you all all the very best with the review and I hope that everything goes the right way forward for you and DTD.

i think it's a bloody disgrace to be honest...i seriously doubt Rob hasn't told them about DtD onlines activities.

Agreed

Wish everyone was less critical of the Gaming Comission all the time, at least for a couple weeks anyway.

They are lovely people.

[Doc Bok]

Very nice people

[robyong]

I am in London, flew there direct from Copenhagen. I have had dialogue with very senior people at the Gambling Commission and I think and hope everything will be okay.

I dont think on this occasion we cannot lay blame on the Gambling Commission, they have to do their job thoroughly, especially after the Gutshot Case.

Unfortunatley, certain 3rd parties (or party) contacted the Gambling Commission last week to disclose information on DTD to sabatage our application. It would not take a brain surgeon to guess who, but I do not want to make any accusations, I guess its just normal practice for these organisations to act like this.

I am also aware that these people read this diary, as some of the information was taken from this thread, which makes it all the more gut wenching.

Cheers Rob

[Dubai]

[robyong]

Come on tell us what we really want to know.

Who tried to nip u in Copenhagen?
Poker magazines, players, nearly everyone I spoke to lol

Who has asked to be bought in a tournament?
noone, as it was sold out

And the best one........

Who was your team considering offering £200 to wear a DTD top on the final table at Bolton?

I got a phone call, a poker friend of mine had made the final and asked Simon to call me to see what I would give to wear a DTD top in the final. I said £0.

It that honest enough? SIK INDUSTRY

[Dubai]

Amazing that someone didn't just call you and said "Hey Rob, how's about you send me a shirt and I'll wear it for you to give you some FREE publicity."

Lord knows I haven't played any tourneys that would warrant any telly being there but surely there must be some guys out there who think like me who would be gratefull for what you are trying to do and just say "I've made the final table already, getting some decent dosh out of that now let's see what I can do for someone else"?

I can't imagine playing a televised tourney final (well can't imagine that yet anyways as I'm sure most of you can't but hear me out) and not thinking "I'd better ask any Blondes if they have a spare Blonde shirt floating about so I could give them some free publicity."

It makes me sick that some people who make the final table of a big tournament still only think about how to squeeze more money out of others.

GREAT Post.

I'm afraid it's "ask not what we can do for DtD, what can DtD do for me?" to too many would-be freeloaders.

Fear not, Rob knows the score.

I might just add you can't just wear any old logo come the final, you have to declare your 'loyalty' at the start of the comp, and you can only wear that logo on the final if its the site you name at the start, if you have qualified online then you can only wear blue square..

As for other events its a bit much to ask to wear a shirt for free, if say you make an ept final you can get at LEAST €5k for wearing a poker stars shirt, now i would rather wear DTD but 5k is 5k!

yeah 5k is 5k but incase of the Latest EPT event you got 50k for 8th and more then 100k for 5th. I'd say F the 5k and do some good for DtD or Blonde. (if I had to choose I would go with Blonde but that's mainly because I have been a member of this forum for a long time now and Lord knows if I ever get to the final table at such an event I couldn't have done it without help from Blonde and it's members)
If Pokerstars want you to wear one of their shirts all the time after you do well in an EPT or similar event then that's fine but I don't do temporary "off to the highest bidder poker ho" allegiances. To each their own obviously and money is money and all that.
But if I've already made 100k I couldn't care less about the extra 5 if it came from someone who has never done anything in the past for me and only wants to tag along to my 15 minutes of fame and will forget about me as soon as it suits them.
Atleast I know that if I were to get into that position and make an offer like that to Blonde or Rob it would be appreciated on a personal level and that to me would mean much more then 5k. (especially euro's..they aren't worth a penny anyways

[ACE2M]

i've worn my blonde shirt in many casinos at many poker comps and babbled on about DTD to anybody that seems interested. I think i've done my bit.

I'll take the 5k please mr pokerstars. Another 10%/20% of your win on top and you would turn it down!! No chance.
