Title: EPT Barcelona
Post by: ABO151 on August 16, 2015, 11:15:23 AM
Any blondes going? I was literally the first to q/f on line back in May and its been a long wait but nearly upon us. It will be my 4th EPT - made last hand of day 2 in first, day 3 in 3rd was bubble +1 in my last one so hoping to go one step better this time. Playing day 1 B - flying out on morning of 25th from Gatwick - hope to see some of you there. I'm not qualfied to go on the on line staking section of Blonde just yet but again something we can discuss at venue - it wouldnt be any mark up just looking to reduce variance for up to say 25%.

Cheers,

Morning,

Good luck in Barca.

Don't forget - wear the jacket & shirt combo. You know it works. ;)

Thank you Tikay, you are very attentive sir!

Still havent ruled out the chances of playing the UKPC ahead of EPT (the social freeroll password for last weekend sums up my position here but never say never...) but sure it will be a great success again. Btw gutted my UKPC series recording didnt capture the sky sports 5 showing of episode 2 last Weds when we were away as pretty sure I would have featured during the bubble play  - will have to wait until October repeat on Challenge now to see but look forward to seeing the rest of series

Anyway hope to see you at weekend if not then soon and will try my best to positively represent in Barca as it doesnt appear many Blondes are making trip.

Cheers,

Be great to see you if you can make the UKPC.

You may be OK with the TV Series, as I don't think Episode 2 has reached the bubble yet, think that is in a later episode.

I don't know how many blondes are playing EPT Barca, though Cambridge Alex - Alex Goulder, the pretty young lad - is, & he plans to play the UKPC High Roller first. I expect a few other blondes will do the same.

Shame we - the UKPC - clashed with Barca, but it's a real headache finding dates that don't clash. That was one of the reasons we reduced the buy-in this time, as a lot of the Big Boys will be in Barca. 

Sky Poker will be sending 200 runners to DTD, so it should be a cracking occasion.

Hey mate, not sure we've met before and I'm largely hoping to be playing all the time in Barca, but I'm sure I can fit a beer or two in at some point. How would be best to get in touch? Whatsapp?

There you go ABO, there's another.

Which reminds me, pleno, aka Patrick Leonard, will be there, too.

Almost enough to share a pizza now.

Cheers Tikay!

Yes I recognise Pleno from his Hendon mob mug shot - shared tables with Alex too including a recent rival event at DTD so I will ''know'' a few - hopefully one of us will run nicely as its the spot to do it

Cheers,

Well well well, now that is serious money, and he still has the chance of the elusive 2nd comma.

He seems a nice, well balanced lad, too, or he does from what I have seen.
