DTD is primarliy an orgainisation for the serious poker player, both live and online, from semi professional upwards. This is what we know best and what we should focus on to be successful initially. You can see that our online DTD $$$ Club on the holding site www.dtdpoker.com is weighted targeted towards the experienced player, but we will still offer plently of opportunites (online and through the club) for smaller players to join the DTD Tour.

As I have said, DTD is not going for the high volume approach, we want to be able to offer a personal service to DTD members, and this will not be possible if we go for the mass audience. Casinos do that because they get new customers for their house games, we will not be having house edge games, so their is no point of doing the "feet through the doors" system.

However, with all that in mind, our regular tournament schedule, STT's and cash games will not "price out" any reasonably enthusiatic player. At the end of the day, a in £30 re-buy, a nightly spend of £90 (1 re-buy and a top up) is common in casinos accross the country. Here is an rough idea of what our provisional poker activity will be, either NL or PL holdem:

Regular Comps
Thursday 1 comp - £50 Freezout

Friday - 1 comp - £100 Freezeout

Saturday 2 comps - £30 Freezout and £100 Freezout

Sunday  : 2 comps - £50 Freezout and a £200 Freezout (once per month we will do a £500 freezout guarenteed a £100k prize pool)

We will have 3 DTD 4 day festivals, NL main events ranging for £1000 to £3000 buy-in.

Every single comp in DTD will either have added money or a guatenteed prize pool.

Special Events
EPT and WPT......who knows?

Events in conjuction with other tourney organisors and online sites

Cash Games & STT's
We will run satelittes into all main events, so the smaller players can get access to the bigger comps. We will run STT's form £10 - £100 buy-in (online style)

We will have cash games from £0.50 - £ blinds and above.

We will have high limit games and braodcast some over the web (if players give permission)

So hopefully, we can cater for all levels of player, we will be running beginner classes live (Aces Trumper) and online (Action Jack), but as I said, the emphasis will be on serious poker, no casino crapshoots. Hopefully, this gives you guys an idea
