We are still recruiting the dealers and sorting so much crap out, everyone is flat out 100%.
We want to make sure we get things right when we open, so the first weekend is going to more like a "soft launch". There are so many things that could go wrong if we took on a big field, so the smaller the better to "iron out the inevitable teething problems"
Of course, we intend to move from 4 days to 7 days over the first 12 months period of trading and eventually open for full gaming hours 2pm - 6am ......so there will be plenty of chances to play at dtd for everyone, we just need to get things right at the beginning, I am happy to take a cautious approach.
The comps for the first week are invite only + online qualifiers, we are restricting the tournament fields to prevent any people turning up and being dissapointed. Simon Trumper will answer any questions you have on the opening week, just email him on strumper@dtdpoker.com . He is the point of contact for all these issues, please use him - not the forums, thats what I am paying him for! He can tell you anything you need to know about live poker in the club and loves being in contact with poker players, so don't be shy.
We will also have our deciated live poker club web site online very soon, where you will be able to get up to date information on what is happening at the live club, this will be a totally separate site from the online web site. You will of course be able to access it from www.dtdpoker.com
If you are not in the comps - you can still come down and have a look at the place and have a few drinks, play a few cash games and chill out in a poker only environment- I'll be there at the bar! Everyone is welcome, there are no restrictions.
Please make sure you JOIN ONLINE before you come and BRING PASSPORT or DRIVING LICENCE (Gambling Commission have been very strict on this so you will not be allowed in if you don't bring this ID on your first visit, no matter how well you know me, my hands will be tied)
