blonde poker forum

Hi all I am thinking of stepping upto another level or two, And there is a couple questions i would like to ask you all.

1. I currently play a lot of 5-20 re-buy events where you get a lot of newbies and people with a larger bankroll so as you all know you get out drawen a lot. so first off do you get a lot of people still willing to buy-in 10times + still or is it a bit more solid?

2. I am thinking of going to a couple of festivals what is the quality like after moving up say from a 20 tournie?

3. the reason I am thinking of moving up is. i seem to be making a lot of final tables and have shown a decent profit for this year alone. i accept its going to cost me more and i will proberly not make as many final tables but think the bigger pay days will counter act this. Would you say this is a good reason to have a pop at the next level? (plus i know moving up is only going to make my game better)

4. how have all you guys found the transition of moving up like?

Good question Adam, I'd be thinking of playing more expensive games in frustration at the 5 rebuy no-limit scenario. BUT - I know I'm maybe OK for entry + 1 maybe 2 rebuy/topup... if I was to get the same situation as on the 5 tables I'd be pissed off.

thats one of the reasons iam getting fed up of cheap re buys

The best thing to do is try to only play higher stake Freezeouts, ie 30-50 freezeouts.

Rod, if we get fired into the Cincinnati club, we could start to influence the tourneys as Sid mentioned, giving the players what they want.

Spoke to Sid last night - if we can get 30 to turn up he'll put on a 15/20 double freezeout, with dealers..... I'll put some thought to it, find the structure from Notts that seemed popular here & write it all down for him, then put details here & on the other forum.

It's a chance to get the games WE want instead of the Rebuy-fever that is poker in Glasgow.

PS Sorry 4dam - a wee digression off-topic, but it's along the same lines - how do I get away from the crap-shoot that is the 5 rebuy.

Good Rod, i like it.

Did you see Teacakes post on our board? Regarding some of the other boys from the Shotts poker open wanting to meet up again soon to have another game with us 4.

Im sure we could get 30 boys from there, and also a few from Blonde in and around Glasgow (sshhhh don'y tell RFC, or he might want to attend) ;D

I'd be prepared to travel further if I was able to play more freezeout tournaments, the only ones they have at Walsall now are the the 20 speed poker nights at 1am :(

yes but Glasgow is a little far to travel for a 30 freezeout is it not?

dave why you keep changing your name?

Oh,its notThe riverdave then?

nope its not riverdave its davey i cant make mind up but i am a tim dave

ha ha sorry lads.

i Firstly added (TPT No.1) to the end of it as a whined up to teacake who is kind of my nemesis on the poker tables inc home games!

I then changed it to River Dave! - due to what happened at saturday nights "shotts poker open"! - Lets just say patman wasn't happy about Not one , nor two but Three out draws in a row, i had against him, all of them hitting me on that Beautiful Card Known as 'The River'. to Quadriple through and go on to take Second prize.

Sorry again Pat!

I havent been called anything else but River Dave since that night!

theres yer answer,

PS i promise not to change it again lads

PPS, please don't mistake me for any of the two river daves on Betfair poker (RiverDave + riverdave) My alias on betfair is 'daviebhoy'

who is The riverdave?

a player on the curcuit and a blondite

so changing back to Dave would be good

Dave 'The Mouth' McGilp would be more appropriate.

Or maybe Fisher Dave, as he is always looking for a bite.

actually Div, i was very very quiet on saturday night

and its just as well the Fish meant i was fishing for a whined up bite, and not about me being a poker fish.

wonky nose dave might be more like it after we meet if i get any more of his lip lol

too late mate, had my nose broke last year, you could straighten it tho if you like?

Ok.....Dave (TPT No.1) it is  :-*

now why doesnt that surprise me

hey it wasn't my fault!

Well i don't think it was lol :-\  :-\

I'm desperate  ;D

the riverdave is Dave Penley i believe

Penly. At it merchant  ;D, but not as "At It" as the new bluffer in town

 Tikay

i have no comment to make regarding being outdrawn 3 times by dave when he was behind,when he was down to his last 50 chips.

I intend to take this experience and use it to my advantage when the wife is beating me up ;D

Nah i think what i did must have hurt you more!

especially followed but your A High Straight getting beat by the Nut Flush on the river three hands later, i cant beleive you didn't jump under the bus outside on the way out!

some of the worst luck ive ever expereinced in poker, and i was the opposition lol  :-*

At that stage dave i had mentally accepted that it was payback time for all the previous outtdraws i`d won on.....not that it made it any easier.

but i was still smiling if frazzled at the end ;D
