Hi everyone,
Let me give you some background to this.
Basically we loved St Kitts, and we were over the moon with how it went - what a way to have a 5 year party and I have never seen poker players have such a good time in all my involvement in poker.
Nick opened negotiations with St Kitts Marriott almost as soon as we arrived back in the UK to do it again in 2014 - but during those negotiations we (and St Kitts Marriott) were approached about the possibility of joining our St Kitts stop with Puna Cana and St Maarten and forming a Caribbean Poker Tour, with the added bonus of WPT/Ipoker being involved.
However, we then became immersed in the ISPT project and over the course of the last few months it became apparent that the St Kitts leg would be a little too expensive to add to the other two confirmed Tour stops, as we know, St Kitts is one of the more pricy islands in the Caribbean - that's a pity but I believe we will return to Sk Kitts at some point in the future - I feel it.
The good news is that we are now getting fully behind Puna Cana and St Maarten, with all the usual DTD activities and hospitality. Last year we ran the Caribbean sats over the Boss Network which worked well for us, but I am sure these sats will be more successful over ipoker and generate more players - it would be nice if we took a lot of DTD players and recreated the great atmosphere of last November.
More details will be available over the coming weeks, we will have our own Caribbean web site that will keep players updated as we make plans and decide how we can give DTD players the best possible experience.
Looking forward for some Grand Prix Golden Chip winners to free roll into the Caribbean again (the next Grand Prix to be announced shortly)
To be honest, after the first half of 2013, I certainly need some Caribbean sun to look forward to myself, that's an understatement.
Cheers Rob
