Howdy, folks and folkettes

I'm slightly concerned about today's update as, so far, it's been one of those days...

First off, after setting my alarm to 1pm in preparation for England's opener, I awoke to the joyful sight of the small hand on the 3. Eeeeeeeeek! I've missed the first half of the match! Wow, I really have changed, that would never have happened last time. I didn't miss a game in 2002, now I'm losing out on my own team's footie.

Then, after watching the tedious second half, eagerly awaiting a Crouch robotic dance that never came, I scraped my shoulder on the frame of the bathroom door. OUCH!!! Now I have a rather annoying gash on my arm which rubs against my shirt every time I move an inch. Bah. I'm really delicate too.

So, with a slight grimace on my face, I set out for Walsall, in eager anticipation of today's Main Event. But, as I approached the M42, a quick glance down told me that I was almost out of petrol. Double EEK! Turn around, back we go.

As I exited my car at the petrol station ,an annoucement told me that there was no petrol. Oh bloomin eck!!! And then, as I got back in my car, they suddenly announced that they actually DID have petrol. What on God's green earth is going on today?! Did they suddenly realise that they had a couple of barrels out of the back?

So, petrol thankfully in car, I went to make my payment. Standing in the queue, that was 6 people long, I realised that the till was broken and the fella was writing everything down and doing his maths on a calculator.

Several minutes later, and I was still there. Boy, when it's hot, us Brits don't half get impatient. The distinct huffing and puffing from folks in the queue was pretty amusing.

When I finally reached the front of the queue, the sales assistant, who was in full Frank Spencer mode, kept going into the stockroom every 20 seconds. Why, I'll never know. Must have been looking for his beret!

What was most amusing was that when I left, the guy announced that now they actually HAD run out of fuel. LOL, the people outside, who had now piled up, had faces like smacked asses.

To top it all off, I couldn't get the top off my lucozade bottle whilst I was in the car. I know I'm a bit of a Mr Muscle with slightly under par guns, but that bloomin top must have been glued on!!

Oh I just don't know. What was most amazing was that, ironically, there were NO hold-ups on the M6, and that's normally the home banker.

Anyway, at least I've made it without arriving in a hearse.

Oh yeah, and before I forget, Jen's not with us today. She's normally the glue that keeps us together, but this weekend I'm being accompanied by someone just as glueier. I'll let him introduce himself...
 

 :hello:

Noflopshomer here, I'm standing in for Jen today and being Snoops' dogsbody, hopefully I can almost be one tenth as good as Jen and then this will all run swimmingly.

Snoopy - dogsbody - switch the light off

Okay, I don't have a full list at the moment, but here are some of the players Noflops and I have spotted. He's like a hawk that 1?!

Craig 'I KNOW IT' Wildman
Jeff Buffenburger
Maurice Nicholson
Julian Adamson (Hartwith)
Burnley John
Malc M
Simon Nowab
Greek Jack
Michael 'Slick Kid' McCool
Jim Ried
Carlo Citrone
Steve Vladar
Bad Girl Pham
Trevor Reardon
Ali Mallu
Sir Anthony Kendall
Dan Samson
Mickey Pierce from Only Fools and Horses (!!)
Paul 'Actionjack' Jackson
Mad Turk
RED-DOG
Dave Smith
Fatmarra
Mickey 'The Worm' Wernick
R Mulla
Chubbs
rob Yong
Rumit S
Alan McLean
Paul King
Andy Louca
Ned Flanders
D 'Magic' Sami
Des 'Bling Bling' Jonas
Badpab
Connor Cronin
Phil Peters
Nick Slade
Dan Carter

And we've already had two all-ins. Mateyboy squared!

Both moved all-in by the river, both had aces, both got their money back.

How exciting!

yellow card


Before I forget...

106 players
1 hour clock
Double chance
7.5k + 7.5k

pretty cool huh?

Bad news already...

tikay has done his nuts in the first 5 minutes... well one of them anyhow, he's still got his other 7.5k left.

Kendall and Peter Costa saw a flop of Jc 9d 4d

Costa bet out, tikay raised, Costa moved all-in, and tikay called.

tikay = Kd Jd

Costa = 9h 4s

Turn = Ac

River = 2h

Must have been a coinflip, but it didn't land the right side for His Kendallness.

"CHIPS!!!"

Right, I'm finally connected on DC's ultranew cool laptop. I managed to briefly see 'El Blondie' take an early pot with QT on a AKJJ7 board.

Uh-Oh

Is this a good omen or a bad one?

El Blondie has drawn Table 4 Seat 7.

When does that film come out again??

Bapdpab's on a pretty menacing table.

The two seats before him have been filled by Ali Mallu and Mickey Wernick.

Then across the table are Fatmarra and the victor last time we frequented this joint... Ned Tim Flandidilyanders

And Dave's table...

Andy Louca
Walsall Saberi
D Sami
Dave
Z Mirza
Jim Reid

A few handy players for the blonde one to contend with...

 :hello:  snoops and floppity

chip count for woody deck please

Marc Goodwin also here.

He's got a snazzy specially made belt that reads 'MR COOL'

he reckons it's a guaranteed bird puller... although he claims to be taken.

perhaps he will let you borrow it

snoopy wish peter costa good luck for me please.im stuck at home all night on my own so keep the updates coming,im bored >:(

Booder don't be silly no belt is that good!!!

 :hello:   dewi


 ;iagree;

Two big hands for you on RED's table.

1st one saw Eric Barker and Chief (Walsall local) move all-in on a board of...

8d Td 2d 5c

Chief had 8-T, whilst Eric had the nut flush.

Chief chucked his cards in disgust, but the quickly said 'Oh, one card to come' and grabbed them back just in time.

Yep, you guessed it, the river filled him up.


Hand 2 saw RED-DOG limp in late position with 8-9 and then flop a straight.

He moved all-in with Jeff Buffenbarger who had two pair.

This time though, no boat came and Tom's doubled up, leaving Jeff crying for chips.

Okay, we've lost our first one... and it's a blondeite

Julian 'Hartwith' Adamson, who cashed in Blackpool, was taken down by Johnny Hewston, who certainly didn't have a problem when his pocket sevens flopped a fullhouse on a board of 7-9-9. Julian had the 9, then a straight draw on the turn, but little did he know that Hewston was sitting on a monster.

Bah, I'm having some slight lappy troubles so please bear with me.

Did manage to see Ashfag Ahmed take a nice little pot down with  7s 6s against Alan Armitage's  6c 6h

Ahmed bets on the  Aspades 5d 8h 8s 9s board and Armitage calls before mucking his sixes.

I just found out why they call Mad Turk 'Mad'...

Mazhar Nawab, who'd already had his double chance, moved all-in for 6.3k on a flop of K-Q-J and a Big Slick starting hand.

Turk says, 'Here's a gift for you' and makes the call with... pocket deuces. (!!)

Turn = 2

Ouch, that'll sting in the morning.

Another man down.

Tikay just took down a chunky pot, I got there in time just to see him showdown those bullets (pow pow!) to Rob Yong  who mucked his cards on the river after there had been betting and calling all the way to the river on a T8559 board. Tikay rakes I think around an 8k pot and looks a lot more comfortable than before.

Zak just told me that Carlo was gone, which, in a double chance would be a completely unbelievable occurance for the dweller.

And, sure enough, he's still here, with his starting stack... it's just that's he's on another table.

he even dwelt before he left his starting one.

nice one tikay,keep the roll going

A few players who have their double chance ticket missing:

Stuart Rutter
Dan Carter
tikay
Jim Reid

I thought badpab had lost his, but he was hiding it under his ipod.

Blinds to increase to 50/100 in 2 minutes.

Tony Dicesare just lost his first stack when holding  Qc Jh on a  Qd Js Td, he ended up all-in against  Olabode Ayegun's  Ad Qh which spiked the  Kd on the river.

And here's blonde's latest victim updater extraordinaire...

Mr Chris 'NoflopsHomer' Hall

Wish him luck!

Stephen Pearce just paid off Pete Singleton's (No longer a Mateyboy, hey Pete?) full house.

Singleton = Qc Kh

Perace = Js 2s

Qs Ks Kc 3s

All-in on the turn

River = 7h

Tikay is down to about 4k I'm afraid. Raising with Kings, (as you do) he found 4 callers, and a 762 rainbow flop, he bet 1200 into the 2000 pot only to find Rob Yong move all-in for well, lets say a lot more. Tikay called, Rob showed 45 and the 8 on the turn left tikay drawing dead. Still, with the blinds at 50/100, he still has lots of time yet.

hello

Now for a real treat...

NoflopsHomer's first live update piccies. What do u reckon? A pro in the making?



[attachment deleted by admin]

snoopy remember to do me that favour while your there mate thanks

Dave Colclough's had his rebuy.

He didn't seem too keen to go into detail, he simply said, 'I played it badly'.

Here's a shot of Red Dog's table and a pot between Iwan Jones and Javed Iqbal.

Board:  Kd 8h 9h 7h 9d

Iwan Jones:  Kh Jd

Javed Iqbal:  Th 4h

[attachment deleted by admin]

Chubbs has just taken down a huuuuuugeeee pot, which is good because he just had got his second chance chips the hand previously.

The board read  Qd Th 3d when R Garfield moved all-in for his shortish stack, Big Dave Smith called before Simon set him all-in.

Chubbs:  Qc Qh

Garfield:  Jc Td

Big Dave:  Jd 4d

Turn:  2h

River:  5c

And Chubbs scoops a big 15k pot, forcing Dave and Garfield to take their second chances.

This Stepen Pearce has to be seen to be believed.

With 3.5k in the pot and a board of 7h 4h 5d Js, Pearce moves all in for 6k.

Decision to Samson.

Now, here are some of the lines Pearce came up with...

"What do I have to do to get you to call?"
"I think he's folding, everyone."
"I'm happy to take what's currently in the pot"
"Go on call, you might be winning"

Well, it worked, Dan called and Stephen quickly slammed down his cards and announced "NUTS!"

"Have you got any outs," asked Pearce.
Samson shakes his head.
"Okay, give me the money, next hand."

The table really love this chap. (ahem)

This must have looked quite suspect from a far. I promise, I really don't make a habit of taking snaps of mens' crotches.

Anyhow, this is Marc Goodwin's latest accessory.



[attachment deleted by admin]

I've managed to prise some stories from Dave.

First lot went when he turned a flush from the big blind with J-7 diamonds. Unfortunately, he was outflushed.

Also, he claims to have made one of his worst passes of the year. On a King high board, Jim Reid talked him 'Stephen Pearce stylee' into passing K-Q.

still, the blonde one's still pluggin away.

I think the face says it all though. The curse of Table 7 - Seat 4 perhaps?

[attachment deleted by admin]

Hey all, Mad Turk is onto his 2nd set of chips, the first set went to Mulla sitting next him after Mad Turk moved all in on a  Kh Jc 9h flop. Mulla called with  Ad Kc which was ahead of Mad Turk's  Ahrt 5h, no flush came and another cry of "Chips" came.

Did I see Poppet,back in the fold, at the top of the page....If my eyes do'nt deceive me, welcome back hun. ;tk;

A few chippy counts for you...

Dave = 9.5k (no rebuy card)
D Sami = 5.5k (has card)
John Hewston = 34k (!!) (still has card)
Rumit = 7k(lost his first lot with set of twos to Des Jonas' flush draw)
Rob Yong = 14k 9no card)
tikay = 3.5k (no card)
ActionJack = 14k (has card)
Costa = 18k (has card)
Alan Maclean = 10.5k (no card)

Double up for the ol' fella!!

tikay raised 350 underthegun with pocket bullets (I saw! I saw!)

But.... 4 (?!?!?) callers!!

Flop came 5d Ahrt 3d

tikay bets out... 725

Paul Jackson calls immediately.

Turn = 3c

Paul then bets 1k out of turn... intentionally.

They let it go... tikay calls, after hamming it up.

Then his last 1.2k goes in on the Js river.

Paul proudly announces 'full house' 3h 5h

boy, tikay enjoyed showing his hand.

Nope, that is one of the lovely dealers here at Walsall. Piccy later...

A few chip counts from the upper tier of tables.

Thewy of Thew Towers = 33k (Called an all-in from AQ with AK, the flop comes 89TJ with the inevitable Q on the river)
Jeff Buffenburger (lovely guy) = 12k
Red Dog = 16.5k, still to take his extra 7.5k
Mulla = 36k or possibly more, he has a huge stack of purples and greens and already three of the magic gold chips too.

Break time!

Meanwhile, here's Tom Cruise from Top Gun... oh no, hold on, my mistake, it's Kev. Close though.

Also notice Fatmarra on the right. He's one of the early pace setters, but that's in cigarette breaks. I think he's just surpassed last week's caption victim Burnley John.

[attachment deleted by admin]

One for the ladies (apparantly)... and some of the men perhaps... you never know.

[attachment deleted by admin]

The plan is to get chip counts when they return.

People will have moved seats, so we don't want to mix anyone else up.

Plus, it's tricky when you have to take into account the double chance.

Watch this space, folks.

good up date boys :)   can i have some eye candy pics for us girlies here x

Here's Kev taking the Mickey Pearce.

Rodney's been at the pies since filming of Only Fools And Horses finished.

Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu plonker!!!



[attachment deleted by admin]

good call,rumit will do nicely.but ill settle for tk if not(hehehe)

Online superkid Badpab, seemingly possessed by the devil.



[attachment deleted by admin]

no calls for a certain Beagle?

Please?

don't make me beg

go on then snoops give us your best pose

Needs to brush up a little in the norkage department, but deffo shows promise  :)up

Here's some fishy online player, anyone know his name? I don't think he's won much.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Badpad is looking a bit down in the dumps.

His first batch of chips went to Ali Mallu.

Flopped set outdrawn by a flush draw.

Ok, the players are making there way back to their seats, all remaining second chances wil be given out now, so we should have some chip counts for the remaining players.

Blinds are now 100/200, so even Pab and Tikay can make a few moves yet.

Nah, nobody wants to see the back of my head.

Seriously though, maybe after the watershed.

I could wake small children out of comas with this mug.

Tom McCready -- 23.7k
Martino Libertini -- 8.4k
Jeff Buffenbarger -- 10k
Joe Conlan -- 9k
Iwan Jones -- 23.5k


Actually, it's taken me a bit of time to get all these down because there's been a bit of a hubbub on El Blondie's table, an apparently split pot got pushed all to one person, and a few at the table were less than happy. Fortunately it's all been sorted out now. I'm off to get more chip counts, hopefully people will stop hiding them from me. Grrrrrr

Table 1:

Nick Slade -- 15k
Peter Sinlgleton -- 22.9k
Stepehn Nash - 15.1k
Steve Bovis -- 12.3k
Dan Samson -- 15.5k
Alan Maclean -- 12k

Peter Davis -- 16.7k
John Falconer -- 22.6k
Alex Hinchliffe -- 20.2k
? -- 11.2k
? -- 15.6k

After going down to less than 3k, tikay is now back to just over 9.

Mickey Pearce raises to 600 preflop, tikay moves all-in with Big Slick.

Mateyboy then shoves in his 6k, forcing Mickey Pearce to fold his pocket jacks.

What did Mateboy have?

King Queen (?)

No help, and tikay scoops, although those jacks would have held up.

Board = Kh Th Kd 4d 5d

12.5k in the pot

Alli Mallu bets 8k

Tim Flanders foldidiliyolds

On a  4s 3c Jc 6c Mateyboy bets 1.2k, Rob Yong raises to 5k, second Mateyboy folds. River is a  7h Rob checks, Matey bets 7k, Rob reluctantly calls and is shown  8c 9c. I think Rob mucked  Ac Js. He still has about 18k though.

I asked El Blondie how it's going, and he said, "Not great." He has about 8k still though, and with blinds at 200/400 he has some time before things get really dicey.

John Shipley doubles up in a sweaty palms moment.

Flop = 5d 5c 4c

He moves all-in with bullets, only to find Mateyboy calling with Tc 9c

Turn = 6h

River....

Ac

The dealer apologised to John, and then realised her error.

Full house!

Phew.

Shipley survives the ordeal.

Ordeal or no ordeal I guess.

Paul Jackson is OUT.

A-3 suited versus A-K

Board of 2-6-7-K-9 was no help, although Paul did shout out 'Flush!' in sheer desperation. The fact that the only hearts around were in his hand was a slight drawback.

Stephen Pearce is normally able to talk his opponents into calling.

Steve Bovis was having none of it as he folded to a 10k bet (with several already in the pot) and a board of Qs 2s 6c

Pearce showed a set of sixes.

El Blondie has been moved to a different table, he's taken Paul Jackson's seat at table 7, joining Tikay and Rob Yong. Should be fun....

Tony Chessa is OUT

His terminator was the golden yoyo balls, Julian Thew

aces v eights

all monies went in on the raggy flop

no help

chessa goes back up north

Simon Nowab just took another down another huge pot his QQ was too good for Rumit's AQ who is now OUT.

6k in the pot

board = 6d Td 7d Qc

G Shienhmar bets just 2k

Con Cronin shakes his head before folding.

You don't see this very often...

a shy Colchester Kev

must be an imposter!



[attachment deleted by admin]

puff

Trevor Reardon (Big TR) -- 8.8k

He's not too happy with me. Last time I took a piccy of him was when I caught him taking a fleeting glance at The Nun's clevage.

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Nick 'Smithers' Whitten -- 16.5k

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent (well, sort of)



[attachment deleted by admin]

And R Garfield is OUT with AQ against Norman Potts' Queens.

More sadly, Badpab is OUT. He made his move with pocket sevens, the also short  B Mirza moved in with AJ, but they were both called by Peter Moss' pocket jacks which held up.

snoops can you wish iwan "CODEYED"jones good luck from the best player in my house lol (james ) and tell him wd for the week ive erased his number from my phone by mistake tell him to text me so i got it thnx m8 ,,and thnx for updates what would we do without you guys ?lol thnx

Here's Mr Ian Woodley and his (if you could see it) 40.5k stack.

Crappy picture, my apologies. These dealers can be really selfish sometimes.  ;tk; ::)



[attachment deleted by admin]

Bad news, tikay is OUT.

He had top pair, but Rob had made a flush.

He was down to the felt anyhow, but still, the Yongsta put on the finishing touches.

And here's the Yongsta.

[attachment deleted by admin]

And now Dave Colclough is OUT too!!!

Bad day for blonde.

And it's Rob Yong again.

Both players flopped a flush draw, but Dave also had a pair.

The flush evenutually came, but it was Rob who held the ace.

no worries

Codeyed?? LOL  :D

What happened to Buzz?

How can it be a bad day for blondes when a blondite won both hands sloopy

great updates guys,how many r left and what time r they playing till?

only joking, how much has Rob now?

And Stephen Pearce is at it again, this time with Ian Woodley.

Flop = 7s Js 2s

He is at his goadying best (crikey, that really isn't a real word is it), desperately (seemingly) trying to get Woodley to call.

10k in the pot, Pearce's all-in was for another 20k.

"Go on, call, you can come back from that"

Well, he didn't call, and Peace didn't show his hand.

hmm, i wonder...

Richard Rudling Smith is OUT, he ran into L Hirons Jacks on a 10 high flop and missed the flush.

boys what happened to the eye candy for me and littlemissc

good point

Kerry Taylor, who finalled in last year's Grand Prix, is down to just 2.8k after Jeffrey Osbourne called his 5k river bet on a T-J-9-T-5 board.

Osbourne won with K-J

plz can u tell me how z aslam is doing tnx

Rob Yong has roughly 38k last time I checked

Here's an interesting hand between Mulla and P McFaden

The board looked like this Kd 4h 8s

Check, check

Turn: Td

Mulla bets 3k, McFaden calls.

River:  Aspades

Mulla checks, McFaden bets 7k. Mulla dwells for a second before calling.

McFaden:  Jc Jd

Mulla:  Qd Qc

Cheeky Rob Yong -- 30k



[attachment deleted by admin]

snoopy is the dave smith thats there the one who plays at notts sometimes?if it is tell him mrs smith from gala said good luck

yep, that's him

How ever can Rob feel comfy playing in such a thick top as that.. 8)

Z Aslam is no longer with us.

Looks a bit thin on top to me  ;hide;

no but he will know its me

haha i think maureen he ought to take it off ;)  must be sweltering

This warm weather gets the old juices flowing eh ?  ;)

Just went for a brief wander, went by Red Dog's table (roughly 20k), button raised to 1400 (blinds are now 300/600), Red moved all-in, having the other guy covered, who quickly folded. It felt as though Red was almost providing some action for me to write about. :D

nope, he had a monster lol

Thought Id drop by to see how its going..

Good Luck Blondites

Just seen Rudders is out   UL M8

A few chippy counts for you:

Jim Reid -- 6k
Iwan Jones -- 30.5k
Ali Mallu -- 72k (Aye Carumba!!!)
Phil Peters -- 18.1k
Mickey Wernick -- 16.3k
Neil Shipley -- 11.5k

Steve Bovis -- 5.7k
Des Jonas -- OUT
Greek Jack -- 15.4k

Whoops. It wasn't Rudders that went out but someone else. Misread I'm afraid.   ;tk; ;tk; :blonde:

Rudders is still in and doing fine.

Simon Nowab. Red-Dog who has just moved to his table, says he looks quite scary.

[attachment deleted by admin]

 :hello:

Good Luck Blondites still in

Mickey Pearce (real name Pat Murray) is OUT.

He'd just won a hand with K-Q on a king high flop, but, on the next hand he ran pocket kings into pocket aces.

The man with the aces?

A blondeite

Stuart 'Easy Pickings' Rutter

And here is the Rutter himself, now on 39k after eliminating Mickey Pearce. What a plonker! (just kidding)





[attachment deleted by admin]

[attachment deleted by admin]

He's on 24.8k by the way.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Big  oops  sorry rudders  GL then!

LOL    wheres that bloody vodka gone!

Paul King is now on 26k

Q-Q V J-J

A jack has already gone, but the case jack hits the river.

Ouch!

Then v Willie Tann, Paul hits a set of fours on a 4-8-2 (2 clubs).

Paul checked, Willie bet 2k, Paul min raises, Willie moves all-in, Paul called.

Willie shows Q-8, and doesn't hit his miracle turn and river.

nice updates.. keep em coming... keep an eye on Stu rutter for me... easy pickings he aint!!

Sry, this is overwhelmingly irrelevant, but I just have to upload this piccy of Jen that I just found on tikay's camera.

Right, we're in another break

Rudders is still NOT OUT. By reporting he was, I may have worked an anti-bokk, in fact he doubled up vs Mulla with KK vs JJ on a Ten high flop just before the break. He's now on 30k!

Elsewhere the Thewster continues his rampage, or well...people just really want give their chips. He raised with aces under the gun and Mateyboy called him with  8d 9d

The flop comes Q83 rainbow, Julian makes a small bet, Matey raises, and Julian after a little dwell moves all-in, Matey calls and then departs.

Lord Mickey of Wernickestershire -- 15k
Carlo Citrone -- 14.5k
Ali Mallu -- Over 40k last time I checked.

Nice updates peeps, just catching up.

How are Malc_M and fatmarra getting on please?

Tim Flanders is OUTdidilyout.

not very nice if thats your first entry spoony ;)

How about this for quick service?

Fatmarra = 29k

... although he said, 'tell em I'm on 95k'

'they won't believe the real answer, nevermind the lie', I replied.

Just saw Malc M win the blinds with A-Q off, but he's still only got 3.8k. Very felty felty at the moment.

is peter costa still in?

Are you calling me a virgin!

first entry into jenns i meant you pervert (jenns caption contest I mean).

Peter Costa vanished about an hour ago.

He sneaked out of the building, never to be seen again...

must have been a bad beat

thank you,what about dave

I'm going to stop this conversation before Jen rips my willy off.

73 left. Average 21.8k Blinds are 400/800 so lots of play still.

Rob took out Dave an hour or two ago.

cheers love.

72 players left
Average stack = 22,100
41 minutes on the clock
Blinds = 400/800
106k in the pot

Just asked a smoking (cigarette wise) Carlo Citrone whether he was still in or not.

In a broad Georgie accent...

"Twenty nine thousand. Big comeback!'

Hiya snoopy and crew
great updates as always
Is Tikay still in?? if so can you wish him luck for me,thanks in advance
Shelly xxx

Mick Fletcher just makes a big move, there was a raise and a call infront of him, and he moved all-in. The raiser folded AJ and the caller folded TT, Mick shows.....J4off.  :respect:

Mwahaha, Homer on Snoopy's comp, after seeing an unflattering photo of myself, I thought it's only right to post this...

[attachment deleted by admin]

Tikay went out a while ago I'm afraid

mods!

Can we place a ban on Noflops please.

He doesn't know it yet, but he really is messing with the wrong person.

especially with guns like mine

pow! pow!

Malc M is OUT.

Serial raiser sticks in some chips from under the gun.

Malc flatcalled with A-6 suited, ready to make a play on him

Flop = A-6-2

Malc checks, O.R bets, Malc reraises, O.R moves all-in, O.R calls with A-K.

River comes a king.

Bah, another blondeite down.

47k pot apparantly!

oh nooooo

Excellent service, thanks. Please pass on best wishes if ytou have the chance.

John Hewston raises 2.3k preflop from trap 2, Barry Wilson calls from the button.

Flop = Tc 5s 9c

Hewston didn't seem to have a problem with that flop, and moved all-in.

Wilson, who had about 15k left, dwelt for ages, before eventually folding.

John showed Jc

hmm, the mind boggles

John 'Deal Or No Deal' Shipley has made the comeback of the night.

He was down to 800 at one point, but is now sitting pretty (well, just sitting) on 20k.

Yep, back tomorrow, final at 3pm.

Just spotted Iwan 'Buzz Lightyear' Jones involved in a meaty pot, about 30k in there.

He moves in his last chips, about 15k, on a board of Ad 6h 6d 6h.

Mateyboy reluctantly passes after a lengthy dwell.

After that hand, Iwan Jones is on 45k.

Ali Mallu is still chip leader and showing no signs of slowing down - he's just broken the 80k (!) barrier.

Simon 'Chubbs' Nowab is on 56k, although he doesn't look too happy about it.

Cheer up chubbs, turn that frown upside down.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Another happy bunny.

Boy, England won today guys!!

This is John Exley, winner of the Blackpool Main Event a couple of weeks back.

He's on 27k at the moment.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Julian's been in full yoyo mode today, but, from this shot, he seems to be more in porn photo shoot mode (!!)

His last job perhaps??



[attachment deleted by admin]

More chippy counts as we have now hit the 600/1200 level. I think people might start dropping big style sooREn.

Mulla -- 32k
Thewy -- 13k (I'm gonna collar him in a second and ask where it's gone)
Rudders -- 27.5k
Hewston -- 28k
Red-Dog -- 10k
Willie Tan -- 33k
Burnley John -- 18kish

hows stu rutter doing? is he still in?

Marc Goodwin has 20k, however he just lost a 50k pot, holding J9 he flopped the nuts with a T87 flop. He bet it and found one caller, on the turn, an ace, he bet it again and his caller moved all-in. Marc called and his oppponent has a set of 7's, unfortunately for Marc the board paired with another ace on the river.

Massive hand taking place...

John Hewston, Iwan Jones, and Eric Barker have ALL moved all-in...

Flop = Jh Th 4c

Iwan = Jd Js

Hewston = Aspades Tc

Barker = Ahrt  Ad

Im holding my breath...........................................

Turn = 9h

River = Qs

Iwan Jones scoops the biggest pot of the night by a country mile.

Iwan Jones is your new chip leader with 110k



[attachment deleted by admin]

and exhale................

Blinds are at 600/1200 with 18 minutes til the next level.

and Jaggers is OUT

$10 mtt on stars though   not this!

maybe its bedtime     :)

Stu Rutter -- 27k
Burnley John -- 22.5k

Red Dog has doubled up with pocket 3's against the Yongsta's 89. That puts him up to about 17k I think.


Thewy is OUT, Jacks against AK, an ace on the river. 56 left.

6 tables left

Stuart Rutter -- 33k
Nick w -- 16k
fatmarra -- 36.2k
Wernick -- 11k
Iwan Jones -- 110k
P Smythe -- 12.8k
buddy -- 8k

I was just about to announce that.

What time are they due to finish tonight??

and again great job guys
xx

One day Snoops I'll invite you around to do a live update on my night in with Pokerstars

What a crowd puller that will be!

LOL

Stpehen Pearce limps under the gun for 1,200, Stephen Nash raises to 6.5k, Pearce calls.

Flop = 9d 3h 6d

check check

Turn = 7h

Nash bets 7k, Pearce folds, exposing the Ahrt

Rumour has it that we're due for a 3am finish.

The players are currently on a short break.

Stu Rutter takes out Willie Tann. Willie pushed with  Ad Kh. Very reasonable don't you think? Except young Stuart was holding those two black bullets (pow pow!) and the  Kd Tc 3d 5h 7s sealed his fate. We're now on another break and then the blinds will be 800/1600.

whats stu rutter on now then after taking willie out (thats if hes allowed to stay iin the tournament after that little publc display!)

I believe he's got over 40k, the pot against willie was worth about 27k in total and Stu had about 13-14k in reserve. With the average at about 29k, he's in a solid position.

cheers Homer! i appreciate the updates! keep it up guys!

Nigel Turver is OUT.

Sixes versus A-Q.

Coincidentally, he has 66 on the back of his England shirt.

Also gone is local boy Paul Short.

Shienhmar is OUT

7-9 v J-T

9-3-J-3-A board

Btw the battery in my digital camera has gone so there's no more photos from me tonight, I'll make sure I have the charger tomorrow though. ;)

In other news Andy Johson took out Andy Louca in a big pot with KK vs QQ.

Is Alan Geddes still in?

what about Michigan Jeff Buffenbeefburger?


Interesting fact for late night saddos. Alan Geddes is Tony Blair's tennis coach.True. That means he has to be equally adept on both stokes but hug the centre of the court.

Jeff Buffenbarger is OUT.

Do you have a piccy or description of Geddes?

Alan Geddes is of Asian Descent, 5 9ish, 30s, dark hair greying at the temples. Will have ipod in, and if knocked out will be on the blackjack. Devilishly handsome and debonair. Like all Luton players.


Unfortunately I don't have the facility to construct a photofit at the moment  :D

RED-DOG -- 37k
Dan Samson -- 49k
Stephen Nash -- 14.5k
Rob Yong -- 33k
Simon Nowab -- 65k
Paul King -- 50k
Con Cronin -- 40k

E Arees wins a big pot with K-Q on a 2-K-A-Q-7 board. Naser Saberi had pocket jacks.

Go on the RED DOG.....its been a card dead week for him so far, fingers crossed things are on the up


Best wishes to dannypoker dan samson too......

'Mr Cool' Marc Goodwin is OUT, he lost with 88 to Red-Dog's AK on the river (Tom is now on about 37k) and then he lost another pot after he moved all-in UTG with Jacks for 26k representing tilt and got called by another AK which again spiked on the river.

Phil Peters is OUT, he ran pocket nines into Steve Jelinek's into aces.

Some names who have gone:

Hewston
Actionjack
Conor Tate
Des Jonas
tikay
Andy Louca
Michael McCool
Patrick Murray
Malcolm Muskatt
Zahir Aslam
Eric Barker
Mad Turk
Steve Bovis
Marc Goodwin
Tim Flanders
Peter Costa
Carlo Citrone
Dave Colclough
Dan Carter
Jeff Buffenbarger
Tevor Reardon
Nigel Turver
Kerry Taylor
Rumit S
Willie Tann
Dave Smith
Paul Smart
G Shienhmar
Jim Reid

Stepen Nash is eliminated in a big 70k pot.

Aces v Queens, giving Kevin Price a nice tasty stack.

chopety chop chop

Dobson v Mulla

A-K v A-K

Ace on flop

No flushes

41 remaining and only 16 minutes left on the clock

could be a long day tomorrow

Javed Iqbal is out in an SB vs BB confrontation, he moved all-in with A9 but Simon Nowab had AK, no improvement for either and they're starting to fall thick and fast.

Norman Potts has taken out another short stack with AQ vs AJ.

Andrew Goldie and Steve Jelinek get involved in some preflop action, but slow right down on a flop of Qs Qd 2c, eventually checking it right down to the river. Steve took the pot with A-T.

Scaredy cats!

D Sami just lost a huge pot in anoher SB vs BB confrontation, he quickly called a 7k bet on the river only to be shown  7d 9d and the nut straight from Matey in the BB. Sami is now quite low.

Martino Libertini just doubled through, he held sixes vs Andy Johnson's AQ

The  Qd 4h Jd flop didn't look great but then a  6s on the turn meant the  Tc on the river was meaningless.

Hand of the week for you now.

And it's a pretty good one too...

Are you ready??

Fatmarra raises to 4.4k under the gun.

Mickey Wernick moves all-in.

Ali Mallu flatcalls.

Richard Rudling Smith (Rudders) folds Ac Ks

Olabode Ayegun (buddy) folds Kh Qc

Original raiser Fatmarra folds Ahrt Kc

Mickey Wernick = Qs Qd

Ali Mallu = Aspades Kd

Just the case ace to hit.

Board = Ts Tc 4c 6d Td

Mickey doubles up.

For my personal entertainment, I was willing the case ace to hit the turn, followed by the case queen on the river...

... bu I'm a bit of a sadist.

As expected, play has ground to a halt at the end of the level and it's time to stack em, count em, and bag em.

It is a fascinating hand for sure, BadPab, who has stayed with us says it's a bad call, because there's no way that anything Mickey has is not beating Ali Mallu's hand. Chip counts will follow shortly and with four tables left, there will be a lot action still to come tomorrow.

This is Olabode 'buddy' Ayegun. He's running low tonight with 8,800, but he's still fighting away.

Last time I saw this fella was in Blackpool where he also ran well, but, on that week, he eventually encountered some bad luck and didn't quite make the big bucks.

Maybe tomorrow will be his day.

Just got back from a tiring but fun day at Walsall.

Before I hit the sack, here are 2 staff piccies.

The first is the lovely Liz, who has just joined the forum as Poppet18.

What I like about this piccy though is the cheeky Ed Arees lurking in the background.

The second is of Dani Versaci with Pat Murray, who is more commonly known as Mickey Pearce off Only Fools And Horses.

Yoooooooooooooooooou plonker!!!

Just caught up with the updates, great job guys!

I'm still in on 34k but I have the entire Dusk Till Dawn team of Rob Yong, Nick Whitten, and Simon Nowab on my table. scary or what?

Heres an interesting hand I played earlier

I limp with  Qc Kd (3 players)

flop Ks Qs 3h

The Doc, first to act, bets 1600 (blinds 200/400)

I raise to 4000

Iwan Jones goes all in for 16000

The Doc also moves all in for about 14000

I have 21000. What should I do here?

I consider this to be an easy pass.

WELSHMAN LEADS THE WAY IN MIDLANDS MELTDOWN (http://www.blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/2642)

Good stuff flopsy and snippy.
My tip is Con (dazzling from smethwick) Cronin, say hello from me please.
Good luck Red too!!

Tricky, situation because there is not a great deal in it with the chips.  If I had more chips I'm calling.  If onlt one all in I think I am also calling all day long with my top two pair hoping that oppo hasn't made a set of 3's.

In this situation I am happy to let them fight it out.

Tough decision, and I don't blame you for passing here if you did.

I think that you are definitely in front, but I am putting Ewan on Js Ts, so there's not much in it %age wise.

I think that you would be looking to get all your stack in with better odds than that.

I passed. Incredibly, both were on flush draws, Ewan hit a back door straight.

Good luck today Tom.

Thanks Ralph.

Great Updates, well done Guys, especially Floppy on his debut.

Good Luck to all the blondes, there are load of them still in, though let's hope the Welsh Section, led by Codeye Jones, remember their place in life.....

A truly wonderful evening, almost a blonde Bash, so many blondes there.

Never had so much fun, & I was pretty disappointed to bust out early after a truly Yoyo like performance. I managed to lose with KK (to 4-5), AA (to 6-7),  & TT (v 88), but won with KK & AA too, it was Big-Hand City all night for me.

Peter Costa played some world-class stuff he has a truly frightening ability to put players on hands, his winning play of 8-6 on an all-paint flop was just amazing.

And blondeite John Shipley arrived at my table with 800, & is now well in contention. How wonderful Poker is - I sat wiith several World-class players last night, it was an education. My table included Peter Costa, John Shipley, Paul Jackson, Carlo Citrone, Rob Yong, Stuart Rutter, & the nice yoing lad who won the Welsh Open at Cardiff.

As for my game, I barely made a mistake all night, in my opinion, though I had oodles of monster hands, but some nights they get turned over, & it was that sort of night.

But I had good fortune too, & I had to feel for Paul Jackson when I had AA & he had 3-5 (I'd R'd properly, got 4 callers, so Paul came along on the Button for value) with 3-5. The flop was A-3-5, &, Poker being Poker, the 3 turned.....Ouch!

A wonderful evening, thanks guys.

Indeed TK

I know I haven't been around many of the top events, but Peter's ability to put people on the EXACT hand (and that includes the suits!!) is truely amazing, the first time I saw him do this I thought it was just a fluke, but have seen him do it many many times since - hopefully one day he will teach me.

He's hopeless Paul.

I got involved with him on hand # 2, & he put me on KQ diamonds - but I actually had K-J diamonds. Hopeless, I tell ya.

Good luck this afternoon Tom, and dan samson and the DTD lot too.....


Top class pass in the hand you described Tom.

Had a good day yesterday, met lots of people.

My starting table was interestin, had rudders and fatmarra across from me, btoh who ibe played a lot with online. Then in the two seats to my right were ali mallou, and mick micky wernick, two players i had heard a lot about but had never faced.

Ali lived up to his agressive gambling reputation within the first few hands calling all in on the turn with bottom pair and a up n down str8 draw vs a guy with top set, that was his first chance gone, After that he continued to be agressive and built a stack up around 20k i believe. I still had my double chance to come and was on just over 6k. Ali limps for 100, and i make it 500 with AQ clubs, BB calls and so does ali, flop is Q 9 6 i believe and both check to me, i bet 700, BB fold and then ali makes an obscene raise to something in the region of 4000. Ali does not know me and i go the impression he thought i would fold like a little girl with anything but the nuts. I move all in and its about 1k more for ali to call which he does with 22 :-). 2 hands later micky limps UTG, ali limps, i limp with 22 and we see a cheap flop. The flop is T 6 2 with 2 diamonds, all check to me and i bet 350, micky calls then ali announces raise. Here comes the fun part, ali makes it 3000! more on top of my 350. I had ali on the A flush draw or JJ QQ (already seen him limp big pairs in EP). I call the 3000 with the thinkin that ali would fire again on the turn regardless of what came. Turn is an A spades and sure enough ali fires 5k, I move all in and he calls with KQ diamonds for the flush draw. River is a diamond and mr mallu scoops about a 28k pot at the end of level 2.

That pot was a killer for me and hard to swallow, but nevermind live poker obviously rigged

According to micky wernick I was mallued (word?) and is nothing to be ashamed of, lol


Knowing ali's style would anyone have played the hand differently? In my opinion if i move in on the flop he folds the hand whereas allowing him to bet the turn commits him to the pot which is essentially what I wanted.

Good luck to RED and rudders (my 10% lol) today hope to make it down at some point

Pab

Tikay can you do me a huge favour and ask Iwan Jones if he got the £300 from me?

cheers mate

^^^^or anyone that knows Iwan :)

Sorry Ben, I am not there today, & I'm almost not at home either, I have huge Broadband problems, & my Lappie is at Walsalll.
