Changes to DTD Cash games....

[CHIPPYMAN]

How do i take the quickest dc game dealt, then presume all  games are dealt at that speed. Wp me....

To be fair, it's not the speed of dealing...... It's the amount of time it takes the players to act, and then the post hand inquest which holds up the next hand.
I've played in DC games where you do well to get much more than 10 hands per hour.

This is the funniest part of the game. Someone (usually Wadey in DTD) saying " you are the fecking worst dealer ever. How the hell did I not get there when I've got this with this and this" while dramatically throwing his cards slam down face up onto the table. Then tells the other player usually Bash, Faisel or Frankie " you're the luckiest player I've ever met. If I had half your luck I'd be a millionaire "

True true.

Glad to see 1 2 uncapped gone, exactly why i never took a shot at 1 2 cos of ridic stacks and the embarrassment of sittin with 100 to 200bbs. More game choice for me when i trek down again

How is it embarrassing for a grinder to sit 100-200bb deep? That's so standard, except that embarrassment even crossed your mind :p

Re: 100bb min on the £1/3. Seems fine. Won't find a lot of small grinders just "taking a shot" with a 60bb stack, blinding out etc. You basically get grinders and gamblers at these stakes, neither of which will want to sit with sub £300 in a £1/3 game. The £1/2 game has a 50bb min, which is perfect for small grinders and those taking a shot.

Re: split pot rake. Agree that you have to rake split pots in hi-lo games, as there will literally be £0 revenue otherwise. Raking split pots in NLHE games is cringeworthy though, any chance of this being changed?

Also are you removing the straddle from the £.5/1 games? I think this is what killed it more than anything.

People love to argue in the mixed games I think it's due to the relentless splitting of the pot they do, tbh for the most part those DC games are so nitty I'm surprised anyone beats the rake

[permanentquandary]

As a dealer I will obviously keep the vast majority of my opinions on these changes to myself, and as per our recent staff meeting we are restricted as to what we can and can't say on here so I shall mostly be lurking, but as a player I will say I think that these changes are a step in the right direction and I am glad that it was agreed that £7 was rather hefty in the lowest stakes games.

in reality, the Vic will be not making a penny out of their poker room

Not sure whether I shud answer the bollox comment, but I will.  Every £1 of rake and reg fees that the Vic take is subject to 50% gaming tax since the new laws  put in force, it's impossible for them to be making any money out of poker players except indirectly if a poker player loses a wedge on their gaming tables. I'm not in the habit of defending the big casino groups but this tax is crippling for them, which is why its pretty unfair that the unlicensed venues are not subject to these taxes, well, actually the taxes are more unfair.

I don't have a clue who you but if its okay for you to type bollox and quote me, its okay for me to say that your opinion/views/knoweledge is complete and utter crap and you don't have a clue about this subject. I will put my money where my mouth is, I bet you 5k that the Vic poker revenues do not cover their costs, are you willing to do that?

[GreekStein]

I bet you 5k

Stop lurking Cos.

Seriousy, Live Poker is a just promotion to get players onto casino and online poker, if you just play live poker you are on a complete free roll from DTD, Genting, Grovesnor, all of us. When I went down to the Vic a couple of weeks ago and heard some of the pro grinder players moaning about the rake, the session fees, £1 for a cup of coffee, and generally behaving like they were doing the casino a favour by playing there, it annoyed me because players don't really know how good they have it on the live poker circuit at the moment, god knows how much Genting are putting into live poker, the UK has never been better for live poker players, especially the value hunters.

Sorry, no can do. I <3 blonde too much to not read it.

As it goes, I didn't like Dakky's comment either. It was rude and with no justification.

I thought my picture was pretty perfect though.

Hypothetical prop Cos. How much money would it take for you not to post on blonde for 3 months?
