DTD live tourney updates ?

[leethefish]

What's happened to them ?

[TightEnd]

Hi Tighty,
             Will you be doing any live updates in near future, or are you busy with other stuff/updates not gonna happen now?
They were always great to follow, shame if they stop.

The Sky 6 max main event will be updated on the Sky Poker forum from next Tuesday

There won't be any live updates on blonde in the near future, they are not currently a priority for DTD.

sure, but am extremely grateful to DTD for funding the update costs for so long, and the sponsorship is ongoing which is welcome.

[leethefish]

Sorry tighty I don't read every post on blonde and obviously missed that
If it's a cost issue again .......
I'll gladly start the tighty update fund off again with £20

Gents,

Very kind of you, but it is NOT a cost issue.

I did explain it a few days ago, I'll try & find the Post shortly.

[tikay]

Yes, all this.....

DTD have changed their business moddel somewhat, & now give priority to 3 x third-party Clients, 'Stars, WPT & Next Door, all of whom are currently contracted to hold major events @ DTD every year. It's the view that as each of those Clients have their own platforms for Updates, then that is where the Updates should be. A perfectly reasonable view, even though it's not ideal for blonde.


That was the Post I made a few days ago.

It is something Rob decided, not a blonde decision.

You can understand where he is coming from though - he does not want to tread on the toes of his major third party "partner" clients, currently PokerStars, WPT & Sky Poker.   

In some ways, a shame, but all understandable. And if those who enjoy the Updates still want to follow them, then they can visit the platform upon which they are updated. Which ticks exactly the commercial boxes Rob had in mind when making the decision.

The Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC Main Event will be Updated next door, of course, & by Tighty. There is not a "proper" Update for the Mini, just a sort of knockabout thing.

I understand the decision but such a shame as Tighty is the best updater on the planet.

No argument there, none at all.

And the best at getting the most out of people on a live stream.

This. Massive shame as he did such a sterling job on each event.

This is what Tighty-lovers have to make do with now:



I know you'll be devestated, aghast even, but Mr Beaneh was last seen wandering aimlessly around the room & discussing the quality of lol-live players. His seat appears to be empty, & devoid of those chip things.  



Gareth Bale was better replaced than that.

Ok, 5/10 for the "lol-live players" comment...

Oi, that material is subject to Copyright, which will be rigorously enforced.

You'll be pleased to learn, however, that Lord Tighty will be Updating the Main Event next door, starting Tuesday.  Not with the style, aplomb, and dare I say panache of my stuff, but he will use some impressively long and obscure words.
