1. Not sure if going to WSOP this year, the fields were so huge, after 8 hours you look round and still have 800 runners to get through! Plus I'm not sure whether I can spare the time. I would say its 50:50 at moment.

2. I dont think I'll do a blog, but we will launch the DTD web site (when it eventually gets done!) we'll put on some pictures of the progress of the refit.

3. At the moment we have no plans to do a forum style site, just information based, so maybe a detailed interactive type diary like on BP is not really possible, and I'd rather stay away from forums as BP fullfills this purpose more than effectively. We will have a standard news section on the site where people can keep up to date on how things are going.

4. If anyone has any questions about DTD feel free to PM me through BP, I reply to every message as people know.

I'm sorry that some of you feel this way about me stopping the diary on BP, but I hope you appreciate my reasons. TK and DC are good friends of mine and I know they would not mind me continuing, but I'm not comfortable marketing DTD on the back of another site's success as I already mentioned.

Please don't feel like I don't want everyone on BP informed or can't be bothered to keep doing the diary, I just think DTD should promote itself and not free roll on BP. The exposure that DTD has had is amazing, and I know that a large % of this is due to BP. However, the next 6 months of marketing are even more key, and I feel we should do it entirely off our own back.

We had a number of approaches frrom 3rd party organisations in Poker to get involved with DTD and turned them all down, we want to remain totally independant and do everything in house. One online site even offered to buy all our poker tables, chips etc if they could have there logo on them but we said no. It's a somewhat strange mentality to do business but it does sort of work for me in the long run. If DTD is to be a success then we make that happen ourselves, whilst getting on really well with as many other people/organisation involved in poker.
