Well, off to St Kitts at 3am this morning, we have got a minibus arranged, I think Chubbs and Actionjack are coming round to mine a bit earlier for a sit and go, the whole DTD Crew except Michale Greco are going (hes in a Pantomime!) so it should be a good chance for us all to have a chat and review of how things are going. I guess as well as working we will have a few good stories from some heads-up challenges etc when we get back, but I intent to work as much as possible as I have so much on.

The Gambing Commission are still being an absolute nightmare to deal with, I'm at my end of my teather with them. They promised my final hearing would be before December 7th, and now are telling me they cannot give me a firm date. Its so frustrating............they have lost documents, forget to ask me for information and generally I am getting passed from one admin person to another. I nearly slammed the phone down today, I had to really bite my tougue. I mean, I have gone through hoops gor them, and they are treating me like a mug, messing me about continually. Anyway, I'm pot commiited now, so licence or no licence, the DTD club goes ahead!

I posted in my last thread that I had a meeting with TK about DTD and BLondepoker. I have now written to TK with a detailed proposal to work with BP going forward. I would like to tell you the details (as DTD & BP has been mentioned in previous of threads), but I think that would be inappropriate at the moment. All I can say is that I have tried to do my best for BP whilst maintaining some commercial balance for DTD.

TK has said openly on the forum that BP invests a lot of its money in live updates and the site, and members will always be able to use it for free, so I'm not talking out of turn by saying that I have offered some financial assistance to BP. We'll see what happens, but any deal needs to be semi-commerically viable for DTD aswell or it will not last, with total DTD's running costs of nearly £250,000 per month (live + online and not including any capital expenditure) we gotta pay our bills aswell.

Anyway, lets hope I can get internet access in St Kitts!

PS. I spunked the whole $6k in my BP account on 1 hand - a  4c -5c-2d flop with  Ac-3c - work that out!
