Title: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: The Baron on August 01, 2006, 01:02:22 AM The final league placings are up and well done to Byron who was unmatchably consistent. My hat is off to you squire. Point me in the direction of one of your pics and we'll put you up on the banner.
A special mention to Claw whose late start and push up the rankings was Wernickesque. Two more events and I'm sure you would have done it. Big thanks to RobertHM and Claw for screenshotting the final results so that I could update the league in decent time. Also thanks to Zimbra for his hand histories on the event we couldn't find the result of. Massive thanks to Kev for dealing with Bowmans in my absence. If anyone knows what he was put through by them it's me. I owe you a pint. This league had 53 people scoring points and well over 100 taking part. The league is growing thanks in no small part to DtD who donated $600 to the cause. Hats off to them also. Hopefully the next league will be for more money and with more participants. The final 9... Thoughts on when you want to play your final for a free crack at $500? (And $500 more for a pop at Chubbs or Rob Yong at bB3) Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 01, 2006, 01:46:06 AM The final 9... Thoughts on when you want to play your final for a free crack at $500? (And $500 more for a pop at Chubbs or Rob Yong at bB3) Friday or Saturday?(even money that this is the most unpopular time slot and I get chastened for even suggesting it... :D ) Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: The Baron on August 01, 2006, 02:10:10 AM The final 9...

The nights I cannot do! Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 01, 2006, 02:21:56 AM ha! thought so :D (at least my suggestion radar is working properly.)
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 01, 2006, 02:28:56 AM Baron - how about you go first and mention the days and times you can do, and then we'll take turns in narrowing down the selection... and maybe if we narrow it down enough we can get something everyone's happy with.
How's that for a suggestion ??? Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 01, 2006, 02:39:54 AM If I had to list the days of this week in my order of preference, up to Sunday, it would be:
Friday 4th / Saturday 5th (<<< already crossed off the list by Baron) Tuesday 1st Wednesday 2nd Sunday 6th Thursday 3rd I would also prefer a slightly later start, maybe 10pm, but the last time I suggested that for open league I think a lot of people said they wouldn't be able to make it, so I'm not optimistic ;) Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: The Baron on August 01, 2006, 03:42:33 AM The final was originally scheduled for a Wedsnesday so I think that might be popular....
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Christo! on August 01, 2006, 03:44:55 AM Wednesday would be good for me
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Indestructable on August 01, 2006, 06:56:40 AM Wednesday is good for me, but I blew my 9th place. ::)
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Claw75 on August 01, 2006, 09:18:07 AM Wednesday suits me too. I would also prefer a slightly later start time. Neeko is away for a couple of weeks now with no internet access - depending on other people's holiday plans etc, I think we should wait until he gets back, as he would have been around if the final had gone ahead last Wednesday as planned.
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: byronkincaid on August 01, 2006, 09:43:00 AM Anytime for the final is fine by me.
I got a signed book for the last league so I suggest you send this one to Claire. I am not able to make BB3 as I am going on Holiday. Tikay said in another thread that we could sort out another time/place for my lesson. Obviously I will do anything to make it as less an inconvenience to DC as possible. I would be happy for example to drive up to Birmingham and meet up in a pub for an hour or perhaps if DC is playing any cheaper tournaments we could talk for an hour before hand and then play. Dunno if he plays anything between say £500 to £1000? Whatever is best for him of course. Thanks Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Jim-D on August 01, 2006, 10:46:01 AM Hi unable to check the league, can some1 let me know if i scraped in the top 9 please.
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Colchester Kev on August 01, 2006, 10:47:27 AM 1 ByrnKincaid -- 936 (5 places)
2 -The Baron- -- 879 (5) 3 Claw75 -- 878 (5) 4 Gamblor21 -- 778 (4) 5 -Neeko- -- 715 (5) 6 rvfrgvf -- 708 (5) 7 I Zimbra -- 551 (4) 8 -Jim-D- -- 532 (3) 9 -Nakor- -- 529 (3) Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 01, 2006, 03:38:44 PM Wednesday suits me too. I would also prefer a slightly later start time. Neeko is away for a couple of weeks now with no internet access - depending on other people's holiday plans etc, I think we should wait until he gets back, as he would have been around if the final had gone ahead last Wednesday as planned. I don't mind postponing until Neeko gets back. Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Nakor on August 01, 2006, 05:56:19 PM I vote we wait for the return of Neeko and Bradders, won't we need all 9 for it to run ?
If the event is likely before September please no Friday or Saturday night just can't make it. Thanks Baron for a great effort in running this, and of course thanks DtD for the added cash. Byron as I said last night a pleasure to be at your table for what seemed like every event - you play well young Jedi. Hopefully the days of the Evil Claw are over - TEAM SILO forever. Well played all.

Byron as I said last night a pleasure to be at your table for what seemed like every event - you play well young Jedi. Well played all. It seems like I'm using the ;iagree; smiley a lot these days, but it's true, I do agree and it's been a great league. People do seem to like Wednesdays; does anyone know if Neeko's away for just a couple of weeks, or the whole of August? (I was going to provisionally suggest Wednesday 30th August as a possible date...) Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Robert HM on August 01, 2006, 06:46:56 PM Errrrr if anybody is bored of poker, I am happy to move up one place to 9th.
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: The Baron on August 02, 2006, 02:07:06 AM Anymore shouts for Weds August 31st? I'm happy with this date if everyome is back and can make it by then.
I'm more concerned with the start time as there have been shouts for a 10PM start. Please remember the half hour blinds in this STT. Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: The Baron on August 02, 2006, 03:04:46 AM Could the final event bounty winners PM me their usernames too please.
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Claw75 on August 02, 2006, 08:29:22 AM 31st August fine with me. Didn't realise it was half an hour blinds, in which case I think we need to stick with 8pm.
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 02, 2006, 04:58:09 PM Wednesday is the 30th August
Thursday is the 31st August Just so as everyone's clear on which day we're picking, I suggested Wednesday 30th - are you guys going with Thursday 31st, then? :-\ Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Christo! on August 02, 2006, 05:19:36 PM Either suits me
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: thetank on August 02, 2006, 06:08:10 PM Well done to Byron and the other 8.
The top finishers in the James Dempsey Poker League. ;applause; Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 02, 2006, 06:11:29 PM Ah, you mean The "Jack Bauer Added Value League"?
:D Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Claw75 on August 02, 2006, 06:33:41 PM Wednesday 30th
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Nakor on August 02, 2006, 07:23:37 PM 30th good for me.
Whats a STT :) ? Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 02, 2006, 07:24:47 PM STT === scrap the preamble and cut to the chase (final table) 8)
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Jim-D on August 02, 2006, 07:33:06 PM 30th is great for me, and agree with claw regarding the 8pm start,
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Royal Flush on August 02, 2006, 07:38:31 PM Well done to Byron and the other 8. The top finishers in the James Dempsey Poker League. ;applause; Ah, you mean The "Jack Bauer Added Value League"? :D :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: The Baron on August 06, 2006, 10:56:08 AM Ok the 30th is fine by me.
We need to sort a time out though. I think an earlier start is best with 30 minute blinds but I will go with the majority. Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: The Baron on August 06, 2006, 10:56:31 AM Oh and thanks to Flushy for the added money. :D
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Jim-D on August 06, 2006, 11:26:55 AM Im a bit of a sad man so will be around all day so any time 8pm or before would be cool with me
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Claw75 on August 06, 2006, 02:19:08 PM I really can't do earlier than 8pm, but don't think later will be sensible. I reckon we should stick to 8pm as that was the advertised time of the original final in any case.
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: I, Zimbra on August 07, 2006, 12:46:51 AM ok, 8pm on the 30th August. It's in me diary now. (Provisionally of course.) :D
When does Neeko return, anyone know? Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Acidmouse on August 15, 2006, 02:30:41 PM Could we have some form of freeroll to kick of the next league? I dont know about you but getting an average of 20-30 players for these events seems pretty low considering the amount of people who read/register the forums daily. I am sure if there was an freeroll incentive to kick of proceedings it would bolster BlondePokerLeague signups and increase the turnout for future events. The idea of getting 100+ people for these would be alot more fun.
Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Colchester Kev on August 15, 2006, 02:37:32 PM Watch this space.

Title: Re: blondepokerleague final thoughts Post by: Claw75 on August 25, 2006, 11:40:34 PM is the final going ahead on Wednesday? How do we sign up?
