blonde poker forum

Hi there everyone.


My name's Jon and I, along with each and every one of you, absolutely love playing poker.

I started playing poker around a year and a half ago after seeing a BoDog Tv ad while I was watching a live stream of a UFC event hehe, I thought I will check this out !

As some time passed I started to take the game more seriously and started playing for real money, I previously just played play rooms on PokerRoom.

After a little bit of progression I felt it was time to find a live game and I did so in a local bar who held one every tuesday.

At my very first appearence in this live game I astonishingly made the final table, I didnt even know what position was at this point, only to be busted out by WeeTomatoes.

Shortly thereafter I began taking it so seriously that I invested a great deal of time and money in several books, of which I owe a lot to, including but not limited to; Harrington on Holdem, Some sklansky material and Supersystem.

The above publications allowed me to really progress as a poker player, understanding certain important situations that I never knew existed.

I started cashing in the live game regularly and have now won it 4 times. That alongside really good performances online have really cemented my belief that I can and will be a great poker player.

At this moment in time I not only play No Limit Holdem, but also really enjoy Pot Limit Omaha and 7 Card Stud but mostly I like to play a lot of NLHE cash tables on William Hill, and regularly play tournaments on the iPoker network and PokerStars.

Im pretty sure I registered here several months back but Im assuming my username was closed due to inactivity as I couldnt seem to login, but I just registered again, hope that's cool.

Im very much looking forward to the BB3 where Myself, TheFuture and both Tomatos hope to stir things up a little and have a great, great time with you all.

Hi Jon - welcome to Blonde!

Hi Jon. Welcome to blonde.

I share your interest in UFC as well as poker. keep your eye out for the various boxing / fighting threads in the sports / betting section of the board. it comes up now and again.

Mike Bisbing v Chuck Lidell before the end of 2007. fancy that?

Hi Adam,

         Well it's not as far fetched as it sounds for 2 reasons; Bisping will need a year+ to get to a really competitive level and Chuck will have fallen from the top by then, Wandy Silva will kill him.

Bisping may perhaps meet him while climbing the ladder, while Chuck is coming down the ladder . .

I think more like this

Chuck beats Silva (what a tear up that'll be) after seeing off babaloo next month (if he can stay on his feet).

there is somesort of qualifier (UFC 63 maybe) between Michael Bisbing and Forest Griffin, the winner of which takes on Chuck for the title (UFC 65).

I genuinely think Bisbing has what it takes to dominate the light heavyweight division.

I'm into UFC as well, we should try our hands at lines in the betting forums ;)

I think Bisping has what it takes aswell mate, without a shadow of a doubt ..  flying the british flag.

Shame about Lee Murray though . . what a waste of a talent.

indeed.

so tell us about yourself

I got half way through that sentence and thought it was going to be a suggestion of a sparring session at the Blonde bash

actually, BB4, where ever that ends up being, (possibly DTD ;-) ) we could find a gym and put on a Blonde charity boxing / kickboxing session

Hi mate, welcome to Blonde

Total mismatch, I'm about 18 stone and 6'5, but if you want to ;)
Unfortunately my work/study gets in the way of most blonde bashes, I should have gone to the last blackpool fessie to meet some people but I was in germany until the friday didnt find out about it until the saturday. Plus I don't even play there yet lol. I'm an online hero.

wouldnt be the first time I've given away 7 stone in a fight. Remember the early UFCs without weight classes. Royce Gracie proved size and weight 'advantages' were overcomable(??) I'm one of three instructor in a Kickboxing/freestyle/street martial arts group. Im 5'9" and 11st. the other two are 6'2" 16st and 6'3" 19st. the latter is the chief instructor and has been training 25+ years. I make sure I get regular sparring sessions against him because after fighting him semi/heavy contact it's hard to be intimidated by anyone infront of me.

The Blonde kickboxing session will never happen. I'd had a couple of beers last niht when I suggested it but the risk of injury with a dozen untrained fighters sparring with people they hardly know sounds like an insurance nightmare. perhaps we'd better stick to talking about fighting. maybe we need a 'general boxing/fighting' discussion thread.

I have just watched Karate Kid 3 and ready to take on all comers.  :D

wax off

i also really like UFC but i really love K1, Emelianenko and crocop are awesome. Emelianenko is just scary, bet you wouldn't fancy taking him on Adam ;)

Im not a huge K1 fan. there is obviously the odd gem in there (Baas Ruten, Ernesto Hoost, Rob Kaman, etc) but Its basically Muay Thai which is fine but I prefer to watch MMA.
