No holding back!

Come on this was pretty funny. She jokes but you never know what the online "live" casino operators will resort to in a few years when margins are getting squeezed.

I’ll start with the live pit, again, gorgeous dealers in tiny shorts, that haven’t got a fucking clue. It took one beautiful creature 60 seconds to work out how to pay me for a split and a straight up, and then she couldn’t pass the chips out properly. If you are that bad as a dealer, the shorts are not enough, you need to be naked, and spin that ball by shooting it out your fanny.

Haha, snap. We must be the only 6 year olds reading it

Cliffs notes of thread: DTD should hire Sticky Vicky to run their roulette tables.

Good read, some good points and some funny lines. She used to be a dealer then TD for a short time in the NW. Her past blog on players checking is a good read.

Two questions:

1. Has titaniumbean got a twin sister?

2. It's a game of cards, right?

are you saying I look like her?

Just a similar writing style. She thinks of poker like you think of politics.

I do find it amazing that she seems to be complaining about overlay, i'm way too nitty to ever complain about that. Especially when the pillars of good poker scheduling she seems to love take pride in using words like guarantee in the same way I use the maybe feature to respond to event requests on facebook

Ha , got to agree

There is a writer known as "the acid tongue" called Julie Burchill who used to write for NME .The Gurdian and Times amongst others , they have a very similar writing style

[HutchGF]

I found it a nice balance to the sickly sweet, reg-favoured updates that are often produced.

Well played.

[SuuPRlim]

The style of writing is very "no nonsense" and imo a lil unnecessarily antagonistic, some stuff will defo wind rob up a bit, but if some of her points are echoed by other players at her level then there might be some useful and constructive stuff there.

If a few players found the starting days and satellites confusing then that would defo have been a contributory factor to the overlay.

It's a real shame that these overlays happened as it's a truly amazing festival and I really hope that it doesn't dissuade dtd from doing it again. You really will struggle to find a better place to play poker.

One thing I did notice was a distinct lack of foreign players, the pervious yr there was a fair few Americans and euros there, maybe her point r.e sats with packages was a good one, or maybe reducing the ME buyin from 3k to 2k made some feel it wasn't worth the travel?

Some of her points were pretty nonsensical but defo made a potentially good point or two in the midst of the jibberish and aggressive humor

This was a very good point IMO
The real situation of low-stakes/hobby players is that they can’t just qualify on a Thursday and then disappear at short notice on a Friday for four days of poker, stumping up for travel and hotels. They have jobs/partners/families and this is not how hobbies work in the context of real life. Know the extremities of your market, DTD; why didn’t you spread all those seats over the previous months and give people a chance to include you in their busy lives?

[AlunB]

I really didn't think it was the controversial and she does make some good points. She also makes most of the points you made in defence of DTD at the start of the article so the context seems fine.

Definitely written while angry though, which is never a great idea when providing "constructive" criticism, but does make for a more entertaining read.

The whole valet girl thing is just bizarre and like something from the 70s. I assume he's going for a Vegas feel but it's a bit weird there too.
