Do we need ANTES in DTD's £15 to £50 Evening Comps (30 min clocks or less)?

[George2Loose]

Can someone confirm if antes are staying for now. Me and a few mates planning to make the trip Friday but won't be coming if no antes. Ta

Are boycotting ifs antes are removed ? One less player to beat!!

Ha wouldn't call it a boycott.

We are not making any changes this week.

But serious - you and your friends threatening to boycott / not support a DTD event kind of makes me puke.

Sigh TK

It's not a boycott Rob just personal preference. The idea of playing a comp without antes just isn't appealing.

Hi George,

I think - in fact I would bet - that your Post did not come out quite as you intended.

There is a whole world of difference between these two Posts, the written word is very unforgiving.

Now see how different in tone & intent this looks......

One of those is far more likely to be positively received, as intended, than the other.

I never used the language boycott. And my post wasn't a threat. And I don't understand why I wouldn't be supporting Dtd if I didn't play an anteless tournament which wouldn't appeal to me.

So your saying do as myself and my friends want or we wont come to DTD...Now to me that is a very childish attitude to take..why not say you will come give it a go without antes and an open mind and if its not for you then in future you wont come...You can't just dismiss a new idea just because you like the way something is at present,who's to say removing the antes wont make for a better product......Im no crash hot poker player but i do support DTD and if they want to try something new lets give it a go...A couple of years ago someone said to me the DTD Poker League wont last 5mins..i think you will find this not to be the case,lets try be flexible and give it a go.

Hold on a minute George supports DTD a lot

Perhaps his comment was a bit insensitive/easy to be taken out of context, but it wasn't helped when someone used the word "boycott" after him. Which wasn't too helpful

I doubt very much George would ever do that. Big fan of DTD and its tournaments, that much is evident

So lets not make mountains out of molehills please

[Karabiner]

LOL at having no antes is a "new idea".

[mondatoo]

I don't understand how George's post could be seen as a threat, that would mean he would think he solely could be a deciding factor in ante's/no ante's.

I'm 100% certain he wouldn't be stupid enough to think that.

I've played comps both with and without antes and without antes is not for me. A personal choice. I did not intend it to sound like I wasn't supporting a new idea nor did I mean it to sound like I was taking my bat and ball home. I'm all for innovative ideas. I supported the idea of a shot clock on dtd nightly comps- it was subsequently shot down and never happened.

George apologies if i offended you that was not my intension...i just like to see inovative ideas given a chance,i have never played a no antes tournement so would welcome the opportunity to see for myself if it works or not,believe me i will be the first to let the relative powers know if i think its not working...good luck in future events.

[YEAHMAN123]

Lol, didnt think it was that bad wat George said, he's being honest he wouldn't play Friday if it was in place which is fair enough, feeling that muzzles our put on people's mouth incase people get offended by things said our the way it's put across. Understand people barking back!!game on
