Everyone loves 'Value' and i'm guessing there is plenty of that at dtd this weekend, something that all poker players appreciate and welcome!

However, wasn't the ethos at dtd to create a venue to encourage grass route players to attend and play poker, win decent money from a reasonably price stake and create a poker community??  Rob Young has rightly blogged about this aspiration many times and this is to his credit!!

The Main event is a $550 buy in with multiple day 1's and All side events appear to be $500 buy ins.  Is this really going to encourage the grass route players and poker masses to attend and play at dtd.  In my opinion events of this nature should have a mix of events and buy in to encourage participation.  This surely encourages all poker players of differing calibre's and means to come and play at the club!?  There is a high roller event for persons of deep pockets, a main event for the many but nothing reasonably priced as a side event.  why I ask myself?? This must be good for the game as every new poker player, aspire to play bigger events as their experience and confidence grows.  If they are playing $100 torneys today there likely to be playing the $500 and $1k tomorrow. etc (you get what I mean).

If you wanted to play every day one (and there is 5 of them) plus all side events, then this would be a very expensive weekend, and a price that most recreational poker players could not afford and even if they could afford it may not be able to justify!?? 

For what my opinion is worth (your prob reading this and thinking 'not much') there should be some more reasonable priced side events to cater for all pockets and tastes!  Coming off the back of the grand prix, I believe a £110 side event would have encouraged many more people who enjoyed the gran prix to return and have another great weekend at dtd > fish food for thought!!
