Hi,
There has been an interesting thread on Alex's diary about DTD cash games, if anyone has any further feedback or suggestions, please stick them on this thread, his blog has become a little "DTD - fied" as can often happen on here as players are passionate, here are a few cash game topics that come to mind;
1. Rake V Session Fees AND Charge (DTD rake only)
2. Levels of games on offer (we spread 50p-£1 +)
3. Straddles allowed/ limited (we dont allow straddles on 50-£1)
4. Min/Max buy-ins at start of game (varies on game)
5. Max buy in when game has been running (doesnt change at DTD)
6. Buy the button (not allowed in DTD)
7. Run it twice (only allowed in uncapped games)
8. Rabitt hunting (not allowed I think, erm...)
9. Spectators in the cash game area
10. Opening/Closing times for kicking out cash game players
11. Complementories - food and drink DTD does free soft and hot drinks/ some food compted on £2-£5 + games)
12. Rake Races, Bad beat jackpots (weve not tried them)
13. Barring Team Eureaka / Winning players
14. Rake on split pots (we rake)
Here is the Vic and DTD Cash game links, I have pasted the pages as best I can at the bottom on this post. I am fairly sure that The Vic and DTD are the largest cash game operators in the UK by some distance, so there is a comparision below.

(or can we
)
A James Keys "version of our cash games web page" would be GREAT.Happy to make any changes that are for the benefit of players and the Club - I am a cash game player myself, I want DTD to be the best place for cash games, not just tournaments, I think it's fair to say we have been VERY tournament focussed over the last 5 years.
Cheers Rob
