Bad News-DTD to close?

[GreekStein]

The Vic doesn't even come close to DTD as far as tournaments go

At DTD I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for a cash table either unlike the hour or so you have to wait sometimes at the Vic.

DTD's dealers are on a par if not slightly better on the whole in my opinion and DTD has less stupid rules than the Vic.

The only thing the Vic has in their favour is Lenka imo

Not wishing to deviate to much from the origional thread but imo, The Vic is a great place to play cash games, its weekly tournaments are not as good as DTD, except perhaps the tuesday £100 rebuy ( £20 entry fee!) Overall they are both pretty much on par for dealers but the Vic does have some silly rules and Lots of them! However, it doesn`t have the same drive to succeed as DTD. (Yes I am a Vic regular)
Both clubs are pretty close in level of service and Rob and his team have done a great job, the £300 deepstack is by far the best monthly tournament in this country and deserves everybodys support. The cost of continuing at this level may prove ultimately too much and our stupid goverment has done nothing to help the situation
Going back to the origional thread...  Will DTD close? I think not.... but it may change hands one day.

Great Post Pete. Both Venues are excellent, & it's good to see some balance on the thread.

But it's a worry that you & I agree again, sleep in the same bed, so to speak. That's twice now.

Hope you are well, & in good heart.

You coming to DTD this weekend?

Hi Tikay,
Yes and No.
Yes I am well and grinding on, and no sorry can`t make DTD this weekend but, I hope it all goes well for Sky, yourself and the Club.

PS. Very worrying indeed that we have now agreed twice!

PPS. Please don`t use that  "sleeping together" analogy again, people will talk.

Talk about strange bedfellows.....

well let me say 1st of all , that the tournaments are not self deal , neither are the 50-1 games n higher, the only self dealt game is 25-50 , which also gives the lower stakes players a chance to play and all for the price of £2.50 an hour, even the vic in london has self dealt games at 50-1 n they charge £6 an hour.so if u think the best card room in the country for the last 20 years is backwards having self dealt games then maltings is in fine company

hehehehe lolz

Boldie how many times have you played at the Vic?

i did agree the vic has been top of the shop for a long time

I only played there twice..5 or 6 years ago. It was very nice and surely ahead most other places I've seen (from what my old memory recollects) but DtD is miles ahead ...then again, maybe the Vic has upped it's levels since DtD opened and is keeping up with DtD nicely now...but I'd be surprised if anything compared with DtD ATM as they simply can't put in the level of investment Rob has.

So given its in a completely different room now how could you possibly know?

I prefer the Vic cardroom personally, i like the room itself better (i don't feel like cattle in a barn) the range of games offered is a lot wider, the rake is a lot lower and it's in a far superior location.

That said the two of them are leagues above anywhere else in this country i have been too and i have been to a lot of cardrooms!
