I don't get to play DTD anywhere near as often as I'd like to, but I think it will be interesting to see whether this builds DTD or whether an influx at the top end leads to some of those with smaller bankrolls/budgets dropping out.
As James has explained, this is in ADDITION, to the current 3 tourney DTD run so well by Chris & Michael!!
The Team DTD League will not change either, it will run as before with results from the original 3 tournies at lower buys still do!!
This is just James adding some value to His monday nites, instead of clashing wiyh them as with the PLO league!
All the Forum DTD'ers should take this as a compliment to the success of OUR DTD Tournament!!
I for one, welcome it and see it as only strengthening the current position of the League!!
Hope everone can see this may only bring in more & better players, to our current Team tornament, WITH JAMES NEW TORNAMENT LEAGUE BEING AN INDIVIDUAL LEAGUE AS I SEE IT!!
This is only good as more entrants = more prize money.
Only bad as you possibly get more players who know what they're doing and so you won't get as many lovely tables with 5 stations who you can just milk for an hour. Although I read a post earlier saying it's good as you get players in who 'might actually respect a raise' lolz at this.
Hi Poppy, I don't really understand how this promotion potentially "jeopardises" the Forum DTD. This is purely an extension to Michael and Chris's hugely successful weekly competition; it bolts onto it, rather than replaces it. The so-called Chuckle Brothers will still run the Forum DTD and if players only want to participate in those three tournaments, that's fine and dandy. This is a bit of added value for the action junkies who want to play a couple of extra events. I appreciate it's not for everyone - and that the cost and number of tables may put people off - but it remains an option for the willing and able. As I've said before, choice is a good thing. All the best, James. Posted by J-Hartigan
Hi James,
As I said I think it’s a fun idea and I’m sure people appreciate the prizes.
My concern is simply that some people playing 5 tables including two bounty hunters being aware that they only need 3 good results might see the cheapest tournaments (deepstacks) as the most expendable and therefore play like aggressive jerks looking to double up. That obviously isn’t in the spirit of the DTD which tends to be tight and respectful.

Not from where im sitting lol! Could i add, and im normally the first to nit pick lol, that i think this is a great idea, it runs seperate from the DTD but includes the games in its format, masterstroke. I dont believe players would treat any of the sections diferently, they need 3 good scores so it makes no sense to go mad on the cheap ones, surely thats where the good players could go a long way? i wont be playing this though as my computer and my brain struggle with 5 tables but yes, good idea and good luck to all who enter.
I'd like to re-iterate that I do not expect the Forum DTD to be adversely affected by this promotion. It's designed to compliment Chris and Michael's league, not compete with or distort it.
And I do need to clarify one thing: 'The Extender' will measure each player's performance in five tournaments and ALL FIVE results count - not just the best three. The promotion runs for four weeks and each player will be assessed on his/her three best WEEKLY scores.
Any further questions, please ask. But, for now, good night!

CAN YOU PAY FOR ME FOR ME IN M/E AND MINI ? LET ME GUESS SECOND WORD, OFF
Hi James - Whilst at first being a little bit sceptical on your comp's impact on the DTD - i now realise - and fully support - the initiative which will add even further strength to the popularity and longevity of the DTD. it will be good to see the players who we sometimes get the opportunity to play in the mini event - show us what they can do in the DTD.
Can i also take this opportunity to invite all players - and spectators - to enter a DTD Fantasy League DREAMTEAM in the comp highlighted in General Chat.
Tikay and Sky Poker have kindly put up the following prizes:
1st place in September - £220 Roller Seat 2nd place in September - £110 Roller Seat 3rd Place in September - £55 Primo Seat
For a FREE to enter competition - I feel this is unbelievably generous and hope it will help to capture the imagination of those players who chose to include the Main Event and mini with the DTD - or the DTD with the Main Event and Mini.
Good luck and may Monday Nights go from strength to strength.

I see what Poppy is saying regarding the rule change of the DTD (any 2 from 3) might cause looser play - but that's poker. You want those loose calls.
