blonde poker

Tuesday 25th April

  Tuesday, ‘easy day’ (well, they are all easy really....) but after getting up late and promising myself I'd attack the e-mail pile, my indiscipline reared its head, and I decided to play the $250 Freeze on Laddies at 2.30pm. I'm over $10k ahead on Laddies in a short period, and I love their slow-clock jobbies. But I played like a...

"Where Did All My Chips Go?"

After a fun and entertaining week in Dublin, myself and several other blondeites decided to venture down to Walsall and play what has always been one of the best comps in the county. The £300 double-chance freezout has always been a fave of mine, and I was gutted when they took it off the monthly schedule, but, and hopefully not for ‘o...

Bellagio & The Poker Gods

Well to say I’m gutted is the understatement of all understatements. The Poker Gods certainly like to have their fun! The WPT Main Event at The Bellagio is the most important tournament of the year for me. It’s the one I’ve been looking forward to since the WSOP and the one I hold in a higher regard than the WSOP. It’s ver...

Confessions Of A Cheapskate

I don’t know if I qualify as a real cheapskate, I don’t mind spending if I think I’m getting value for money, but I deplore waste, and I hate being ripped off.

"Your Dad's On The Telly, Girls." "But Mam, We Want To Watch Casualty." - Part II

  Mr Isaacs ushered me aboard the correct train, and I found tikay sitting at a table in first class. He shook my hand and asked me if I preferred to travel facing the engine or with my back to it, as he was already sitting in the forward facing seat, I said I didn’t mind, I did really though, if God had meant us to travel backwards, he ...

"Your Dad's On The Telly, Girls." "But Mam, We Want To Watch Casualty."

  After playing the £1500 European Poker Classic at the Vic, I was somewhat disappointed by the elasticated blind structure, so I e-mailed poker 425 with my views, and, as a result, Rhowena Colclough, who was producing the show that week, asked me to come down to the studio in London to debate the matter. Never one to let the chance of m...

Golf, Millionaires, & Rap Music

 I’ve just arrived off the VS043 in sunny Vegas and I just had to share some of the goings on with you. You just can’t make this up… it’s so far fetched it has to be true.

The Dog Blog

 I played the main event at Luton on Saturday, I was in seat 8, with Dave Colclough on my right, and Steve Bovis on my left. As it turned out, my seat draw had a big effect on my game.

My First Taste - Part IV

 Embarrassingly, I was interviewed during the break and just after I’d lost a chunk of my stack to my neighbour. Boy, I must have looked grumpy. My interview basically translated as this… ‘I’m a complete muppet. I just made a crap call, and gave away 10k needlessly. I’m a fish.’ Hmph, I don’t think I ...

Sunday Bests

As you all know it was the Paddy Power Poker Irish Open over the weekend, and a fantastic event it was too. Not only did Paddy Power add €50,000 to the prize pool but they laid on fancy nibbles and a free bar for the players and their guests at the RDS.
