Genting go Fox Hunting

[Skippy]

The membership fee is the nut-low idea in a casino of all time.

Are Genting emerging as real competition to Dtd? New venues, online site and a tour with the  backing of a company worth $ billions. I support  Rob and Dtd  but am even havingy head turned by a company that also seems to be looking out for poker players.

If you have sampled some of their Venues, you'd know the answer to that.....and you have....and you do.

I am fully supportive of Genting's promotions, & support of Live Poker, but they do not represent a threat to DTD. Different markets, different strokes, different folks.

I also doubt they are charging a 3% deduction from Prize Pools on their new Tour, as UKIPT do, I believe.

It's all good for poker. Been limiting the live tourneys to a couple a month whilst being a stay at home dad but now that ones at school and the twins are at nursery and school from September the wife wants me from under her feet and playing full time again.  So much choice which is great.

There is one very specific way in which the Fox is better than DTD.

Jilly deals there now.

yeah, their monthly 300 is in direct competition with the dtd monthly to keep london players local.

I am a Dtd 300 reg as is easy to get seats and 100k gtd is awesome. Can't see anyone else coming near to this prize but I can see overlay at Dtd that could bring the pool down to 80k again.
Simple things make a massive difference to mid priced comPs that attract recreational players. When Dtd Put on a £300 deepstack mid month last year it flopped because not many recreational players could find the £300 buy in mid month. Most get paid end of the month so have the readies to buy in but like most muggles, two weeks after pay day they are skint and counting the hours down till next payday.

This makes me a little sceptical about genting getting the numbers to some of their events particually as some of their target market will not want to be taking thurs or fri off work to play mid month.

Good luck to them tho and I will defo be checking their tour out

Genting starting to make a real push.  Clever business plan TBH, get everything set up quietly and then surge their branding into the market when everything is set.  I haven't been to Fox yet but I think I'll keep my eye on it with interest.  At the moment I'm just hopeful for a good cardroom at the new Aspers in Stratford.  A lot more chance of occasional players rocking up full of fizzy drinks and confidence.  That place better be good or I will be sad.
