You have no feet?

*note..the above comment is posted knowing that you could indeed not have feet or some sort of medical condition that causes the above poster to only wear socks or flip-flops and in that case` I will indeed have put...erm..my foot in it.

made my first visit to the club last night. I arrived with big expectations and was not let down, everything people have said is right. the place looks great, the tourney structures are brilliant, there's about a million cash games running all the time, dealers are proffessional, valets are hot and the floor staff are fantastic.

good job Rob and team

Well, I've been many times and only once not in trainers and never had a problem.

Watch this now, my taxi is due any minute and I'll bet I get refused tonight with the same trainers I've worn every time !

Mother Hen was saying last night on the PA that they were going to get a lot stricter about dress code especially trainers. The thing made me giggle was the baseball cap rule. You can wear when sat at the table but not when you are walking around the club, not that im having a go it's Robs club and he does as he sees fit. Please don't ban me.

Do you think they would let me wear trainers if I got a note from my mum doctor?

Gotta say, the place was rocking tonight...

£75+£10 (13% vig is a bit rich, Simon !) sold out, big lists for the cash games, it just goes from strength to strength, although I think I've decided that the MTT structures probably don't suite me, I'll still be back

Saw lots of Blondes but I'm still a newb here, so didn't want to say hi...

Don't be silly!!!  They're great to welcome new Blondes when they meet them.  Next time, make sure you say hi...and that's an ORDER!

I've been in a couple of casinos where they have the same rule for hats. I assumed its because of the CCTV they want to ban them but they can't reasonably stop poker players wearing them at the table, so that's the compromise.

It probably wasn't the greatest idea to post on a forum that is read by staff at dtd, that you would be wearing trainers!

Went to dtd last night for my first visit... Took the wife and two mates along..

The building is terrific ,the decor superb,

We had some food which was not overpriced but was  generous well cooked and presented well

Tournement structure is a complete sucess, loads of play... sadly though my cards let me down.. (nothing to do with my F/H walking into a bigger F/H).. The games on offer were excellent with cash games starting all the time.. The valets were courteous and efficient and able to get me green tea which most places can't. Plenty of space round the tables to sit at without bumping into adjoining tables/players.
Nice to see that the dress code is being enforced and this was reiterated over the P/A. the screens dotted around dtd mean you know exaxctly whats going on at all times. The computer terminals all aroud the building were a revelation.
When you look at the layout of the interior the designers have done a fantastic job. Comfortable without being over comfortable and stopping people from playing cards.
Staff wise you can see some of the dealers are newish but they are all keen ..
Danny recognised me having only seen me once in Blackpool nearly three years ago.. Now that was impressive...

dtd will suceed as the vision of Rob Yong and the dedication of the staff he has working for him. This is without a doubt the finest cardroom in the country and the enthusiasm for all who work here is impressive...

I know Rob waited a long time for it to open .. but then some of us did too.. We wern't disappointed
