blonde poker forum

Hello.

As I will be in Vegas, I will be playing a couple of WSOP events and going to sell a bit of action in each one, HOWEVER - I am not selling as a package, if you want to buy a piece just say x% of X event and i'll do the maths for you :)up

If you don't know me I'm a 23yr old proffessional poker player from Leeds, whereas my tournament record is poor, my focus has always been into the cash games (how I make my living) this year however I have put my "mind" to tournaments playing the grand total of 8 so far, and these have included 12th place in WPT Dublin, losing to the legend of blonde Dave "Dubai" Shallow, a 21st place in the $5k Wynn Classic in Vegas, 2 finals of PLO side events and a pure bubble to the 6max NL at the LAPC, so whereas no $ or trophies to back to the "I'm playing well in tournaments" claim, I do genuinely feel like I've improved, and it WAS a 2012 goal and I'm happy with the progress...

Please remember the WSOP has quite late-heavy structures and big fields, so they are quite "punty" the great thing about them ofc is that when you hit big, you hit really big, but it's certainly a gamble buying WSOP action...

Here are the events :)

Event #6 - NL Mix Max (9handed/6handed/HU) $5,000.

Selling 40% @ 1.2 : 1

1% = $60
5% = $300
10% = $600
50% = $3,000

HoneyBadger 5%
Keys 5%
Tikay 5%
Claypole 5%

Very experienced in 6max format, lots of experience playing in DEEP short handed live games, and a LOT of HU (majority PLO, but more than adequate NLHE) HU experience. Fancy this format to suit me, hence 1.2 : 1

Event #28 NL 4max $2,500

Selling 25% @ 1.15 : 1

1% = $28.75
5% = $143.75
10% = $287.50
50% = $1,437.50

Honey badger 5%
Tikay 5%
Keys 5%
Claypole 5%

As before, plenty of experience in shorthanded play, more so than the majority of players in this field I would imagine. However, despite playing the 4max scoop's etc I can't confess to high volume in "4max" format, hence the smaller MU, but then, can anyone have that much 4handed experience outside of the iPoker games and occasional Stars tournaments? Also being on the lower side of the buyins it will likely have a bigger field.

Event #34 PLO 6max $5000

Selling 40% @ 1.35 : 1.

1% = $67.50
5% = $337.50
10% = $675
40% = $2,700

HoneyBadger 5%
Titbeam 5%
BigFella 5%
Tikay 5%
Claypole 5%

Have played 500,000 hands of 6max PLO in the last 2 years, 2 final tables of Live PLO tournaments this year and some decent success in online tournaments. I would consider this format my specialism and the one I've made a living from over the last 2 years, hence why the mark up is so very high.

Event #39 PLO Championship $10,000

Selling 60% @ 1.1 : 1

1% = $110
5% = $550
10% = $1,100
65% = $7,150

SOLD OUT

Keys 5%
Tikay 5%
Dan Morgan 5%
Rupert 10%
Muckthenuts 5%
Bigfella 5%
Doobs 5%
Dubai 20%

Again, very experienced in PLO, and a good record in PLO tournaments, however I feel this tournament will have a smaller field, and a stronger "core" field. I would expect plenty of weaker PLO players still to enter, but certainly fewer, hence why the much smaller mark-up.

Hopefully this is all fair - I've thought pretty hard about all the mark-ups etc, Good thing about the split package is that if you think "Dave's gotten it a bit wrong here" then you can leave it out :)

Payment by Bank Xfer, $US bank Xfer, Moneybookers or Cash in vegas :)

Flaming either constructive or personal not ideal but if you must you must :D

Thanks

David


***PLEASE NOTE***

Because my primary objective in the summer is to play the cash games, there is ALWAYS a small chance that I will miss an event, due to fatigue of long session, unreal cash action etc. I have set myself the objective of 5 tournaments this summer, which is reasonable and I am pretty sure I will play, however, the risk of me not playing IS there, if this makes you at all uncomfortable then please don't buy, there is nothing I can do about this unfortunately. In the event of this happening, I will refund everyone's money as I was paid it at the rate I was paid it.

Hi James,

I'm meta-policing threads now.  You forgot to mention to Dave that he should include dates of events in his OP.  Not bad overall though.

fml my staking posts are normally pretty brief. Gunna get absolutely ruined. Sell on facebook I guess :P

did you send all or do you still owe me some? I cant figure out a) what you owe or b) what you've sent :D

booked.

yer i owe u 120.

cool. expect a visit from "the boys" :D


sure will do closer to the time.

Ok - i know you all think "david doesn't have a clue where he is with all this" but don't you all worry, I'm on it!

Andy W - Paying me $337.50 $338 $340 in LV (I'm not paying you the $100 I owe you though just to be clear :D )
Doobs - Paying me $550 in Vegas
Claypole - Paying me $318.75 - then taking me for dinner :)
Keys - Paying me $973.75 in LV
Muck - I dont know how you're paying. W/e you want but not stars :D you coming LV?
Tikay - $1,331.25 Cash in Vegas - *EDIT* sigh just realised I still owe you $375! so you owe me $956.25.

Rupert - I think you paid off the $ I owe you yh? (GET THEERRRRE NO)
Honeybadger - Sorted-ish

This thread is offcially closed for BUSINESS!

If I'm 'muck' yeah I'm coming out on the 22nd :D

I sent a pm yest I think it was about paying, but I'll weigh you in when I get there if that's ok.

Looks like he's just mugged you off in his summary post mate. Pretty harsh I reckon.

Edit: Sorry jase, I'll be more specific next time :D

Deffo harsh.... muck is probably what I will be doing a lot of in fairness though :D

Check Statos thread met

I think the comedy effect wouldn't have been worth mentioning if you hadn't actually posted directly after him :P

 ;D

shit forgot about you!

yes you're in readddies when your here tyty :)

shit. you're in as well.

mmmmmmmm

The great news is that Dave is through to Day 2 in Event # 3.

The bad news is that it is not included in this stake.

Win it anyway Dave!

Come on Dave a win would be perfect. One of them braclets will be too big for your limp wrist but you could wear it as a necklace :)

He has $3,395 locked up already, with $207,708 to the winner.

Others through include.....

Justin Bonomo

Annette Obrestad

Josh Arieh

Mike Sexton

Victor Ramdin

Yevgeniy Timoshenko

Play resumes tomorrow (tonight, UK).

thanks guys! sorry to win it on my own :(

Bizarrely it's prolly the worst poker I've played all year but I got past some tough players pretty easily, I had a decent strategy and stuck with it but was nowhere neare ever 50-60% of what I would consider my A-game today, got very lucky. Ty for good wishes and booooooom WSOP flag :)

Do a win pls, will make incred blog post.

so sick, i was jsut thinking, this would be a great tourny for dave lol

200 lumps in the bank before the first week is out, morale off the charts!!

GOGOGO!!

Who you beat and who you playing?

Oioiii, glglglglgl.

Just beat Bryn Kenney. Pretty glad, hes always seemed like a douche.

GOGO Lil Dave! I did say get it won ffs

Herbie wants some hendon mob action before lunch ;)

Good luck Dave.

Lol. They all take the piss out of me and the hendonmob but I follow most people on face book and they all give it the big WIIIIII when they get one ;)

Gogogogogo Professor Nicholson.

get outtt g$ngsta, Lillllllllllll Dave is here

gogogogo LilDave

does anyone know who he has in the next round? This is the PERFECT event for him

Dont think its drawn yet

GL GL

Like a bo$$

gl mate, get the cake

They should have a massive board with everyone's names on it like out of the karate kid. And people standing on the side shouting "sweep the leg! No mercy!!" whenever someone gets short stacked.

haha ^^^

I do actually know who it is - there are two matches on each table and the winners of both play nxt. I don't recognize the guy though, but then tbh I didn't recognize brynn kenney, these tourney wizards are o no interest to me :D

Fear no one mate. Seen you got a good luck from Chris "not the Russian" Johnson. Everyone must know who you are

Quality! I knwo two Chris Johnson's and two Chris Walkers and they are both pro gambler, what are the odds.

just jump up and head butt their toe nails that'll teach them

If I ever get a spot on the WSOP TD team, this will be my first suggestion. Abs epic lol

Vojtech Ruzicka is Seat 1, you are Seat 2. Assume this means you're playing him?

terrific inspirational lyrics guys tyty

Alas I was not able to progress past round 1 today :(

Hey guys. Not going to play the Mix-Max.

Several reasons why, firstly, despite already cashing an event (sick brags) I'm actually not happy with how im playing at all, in a field that is actually shaping up to be reasonably tough I think buying action in me playing today would be a waste of your money, I can't see myself doing well + don't "feel it" at all. I'm a bit hungover as well and I've not been sleeping good last week or so.

If I'm not happy that I'm playing decent I won't be playing any more tournaments this series. But I'm sure I'll turn it around shortly :)

Good that no-one has paid yet, so the system I'll use is I'l decide the day before if Im playing or not then set about collecting. I would be VERY VERY VERY unlikely to miss the 10k plo or the 5k 6max. I am looking forward to the 4max as well.

Damn and I thought this line would make all the difference.

it was a truly brilliant effort to inspire! Much appreciated

Was just coming to post glglglgl, nevermind though, have some time chilling and enjoy.

Just let me know where we stand a/c wise - obv I'll sort you out when I arrive mate, hope you are enjoying

your on board 100% dw.

Don't send just yet because if I don't play you won't have paid. It's just too difficult to predict what's going to happen. As soon as I'm 100% to play we can go from there I trust you all so we can wait a bit first.

Check yo pms babes. x

yh im in for everything sorry x

ha ok that makes things easy. no probs. I'm not a chaser upper just wanna be able to forget about it.


marv will hit you up in vegas. Still waiting for your next blog post!

I'll take 2% 4max and 1% in 5k plo if its available, not sure if sold out, had a look at op etc

Blog soon and lmk if booked!

Sold out sorry :(

Thought it might be but had the best week of my life so fancied it. Hope Vegas is going well

saw in op that im not down for any of the events mate? but did pay..

yes Pleno will spk to you privately but any acction you paid for is booked I need to refund stuff to you.

Sorry guys but I've decided to cancel all the action on this thread.

It was a stupid idea to try sell like this for me so far in advance I was trying to be organised but I'm pretty much finished with tournaments for the summer anyways and wont be playing the 5k 6m which is really the only one I wanted to play.

No has paid except for pleno so i'll pay him back and be done with the whole thing, I won't sell action on here again because I can't commit properly to tournaments and people get tilted at me/I get tilted and that's silly for us all.

Sorry. If I play the 10k plo i'll give you the chance to buy some action but tbh I'm not plying very well at all this summer.

I hope your planning at least one night on the pi55 lil dave ? And not giving up on nights out ?
We got one next Saturday starting in the nugget 7 ish I believe ,or if your doing one post on here please

np buddy, stay in good spirits though pls :)

Bum

No worries at all, I owe you for the first 2 tourneys so will weigh you in when I get out next week boss

nahhhhh you dont :)

lol you played so get paid....

haha nah I didnt :D

please pay me back the money I never sent you ASAP. 

Cheers

Dont let Danny drink my money tell him I'll be over for it in 2 weeks!

gl with the rest of the trip.

Is this still cancelled?

Cheers

Doobs

Yes, I'm confused mate - don't want a stewards enquiry if you kop and according to updates your playing, let us know mate

Text him mate- Lild if u play 10k I still want 20%, let me know in advance and il send

Pretty much this.  As I am arriving later this week and for hence paying up after the 10k has started, would just prefer to know where I am. 

I've text his English phone for you- but he may have US one now that I don't know number for

The 5k today not the 10k.

I cancelled all the action itt, and said that il sort with people privately if i decide to play, which i will/ have.

<3 for Dave. Hope all is well and morale high.

David Nicholson deep in the 1k, assume its not you m8? :(

Thanks for clarification.....didn't read properly mate. Good luck, hope all I well and you didn't mind me asking. Tke care

obv not, met that guy in L.A, wanted to hate him but couldn't lol


obv not, sorry I come across really short, very tilted atm. bust the 5k at 2/4 so you aall saved money

Sigh....ul, sure I'll see you soo. Chin up. Apologies for sick timing

I text your US number Dave, let me know if you've gg'd your phone or something x

I love you Dave, keep your chin up kid!
