Yogi

Do you know any names? ie( huddersfield qulifier

Do you know how much of the GTD £250K has been collected in. I.e is it likely to bust it?

Don't know how much was collected at Huddersfield, but prior to that there was over £25,000 already in the pool with 21 players qualified.

Cheers.. just wondered who won ..

one of the qualifiers is more of a Walsall Salford Blackpool player,

The other qualifier was playing his first ever live game.

Yogi

Any idea who won the Friday evening online Qualifier on Blue Square.com?........

LOL,

I think it was someone who got VERY lucky hitting a 4 to make a set on the turn.

VWP Tikay, and GL in the main event, hopefully see you there

Thanks Paul. Spooky how pocket 4's in consecutive hands changed the course of the tourney for both of us. xx to Charmaine. She's not REALLY having, well, you know, on Wednesday, is she? Not necessary man.

I like your new sig, 'Not necessary man' suits you

Curretn state of affairs not including tonights Blue Square Qualifier.

36 players qualified got 41,000 in the bank.

Yogi

6 kids and nursing mother natures way have a habit of messing with a certain part of my anatomy Tony .....

THE TOM "RED DOG" MCCREADY

Yogi

Thanks in no small part to Womble, who bought me a very nice meal and and talked about poker untill he had me so fired up that I refused to lose, I even bullied Ali Malu into submission

I had a great time at Blackpool, The £300 Freeze out was a nightmare of big hands that wouldn't stand up, although I did play QQ like a Herbert when my opponent did everything except stand on the chair and scream "Put em down, I've got aces"

I did manage to win a couple of nice pots in the cash game and, ignoring the scowls and raspberrys, I said goodnight very sweetly and scarpered back to my hotel £500 better off

Yogi was in great form, strolling nonchalantly around the cardroom, a word here, a nod there, he makes it seem effortless, but he misses nothing, and the comps ran like clockwork. He flattend the prize structure and the complaints and threats of the protesters were of no more consequence than a few flies to a Grizzly Bear, a minor annoyance to be waved away

He is the man

Kudos

Got to come clean about Ali Malu, we both had trip Qs and luckily I had the better kicker, other than that I avoided him like the plague  ;D

Nice post Red, & I second your comments about Yogi, surely a man in the running for Cardroom Supervisor/Manager of the Year.

When you see guys cope so easily with things that other peeps get all hot & bothered about, that's class. Bobby Moore had it - never broke sweat, never had mud on his shorts 'cos he never fell over, always in the right place at the right time. Piggott had it, Kenny Barrington had it, Colin Todd had it.

Class, real class. Top Man Yogi.

Well Done Tom on your qualification, knew you had it in ya.

Was great to see you up here as always even though i didnt spend anytime in the cardroom (and i am still to ever deal to you lol)

The missis was well pleased with you stopping to chat and has waxed lyrical about you all weekend hehehe (dont tell kev)

Hopefully i'll see you at pastures new

OH man i'm gonna miss workin with the big dollop lol was kinda hopin he'd die on his arse without me lol

I think you and Mrs Wolfy make a lovely couple ( Although I have to say, she's far to good for you) and would be a great asset to any cardroom

It's my honest opinion that ALL casinos fail miserably when it comes to looking after good staff

Now hurry up and get your self to Birmingham, then you will be out of the way when I go back to Blackpool in November

well done Tom.

Anyone have a list of future qualifiers ?

Nice one Tom

Tom, you are my hero.  :D

well done!

Well done Tom, you and womble both looked as tho you were enjoying the "what have we done wrong talk"

obviously did work and very well done for qualifying!!!

Good luck!

At-iT

Nice to meet you last night red-dog and congrats, sorry didn't get chance to speak more but you may have noticed I'm not much of a talker at the table  :).  You didn't look troubled all night whereas I was billy low-stack the whole time and never really got going, knew I'd have to win a couple of races to stand a chance and it wasn't to be.

 Luckily Mr Newbie donated lots of his to me  8)  By the way didn't you think that was a strange choice for someone's first ever live tourney ?

Hi Owner, It was nice to put a name to another 'blonde face'

Just to clarify, there was an absolute, fresh from the mint, brand new and unspoiled beginner on the same table as us, a couple of the players were trying to take advantage, ie, raising the pot and then saying "Ok mate, it's five hundred to you now" so I explained to him loudly that it was his turn, he could fold (or raise) if he wanted to and suggested that he should ask what his options were every time untill he was sure. He was shaking like a leaf and doing everything wrong, he was scarlet with embarrassment but he loved every minute of it. I had a few words with him during the break, he was a really nice kid and will be an asset to the game if they don't spoil him before he finds his feet

But I have to agree with owner, what a wasps nest to jump into for your first ever game

Proud of you Red for helping the newbie. I just HATE it when folks don't help to put newbies at ease.

I was the most clueless newbie you ever saw, and I really appreciated every bit of advice I could get, still do for that matter

Thanks for the words of praise and support Tikay, Red-Dog. I do it for you guys. :)

And little Wulfie. Maybe I will die on my arse without you. NOT.

Sorry to see you go mate, but I know why and hope you get the support in your new job. Gonna have to break me in a second female assistant for festival time to help out. Lucky me :)

Who is Owner????

Yogi

I am a sometime (not regular) visitor of your cardroom.  I was going to describe myself as a balding fat bloke but then realised that description fits half your punters.  ;D

It certainly does. Could describe me to but I got a full head of hair.

Plus not fat. Just Vertically challenged.

Yogi

My that hurts so many ways  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Come off it, a few months in the cardroom makes you almost impossible to insult. Thats why I have to try so hard  ;)

Just in case anyone is interested, blue sq are running $18 sats, Mon to Fri at 9.15pm for the Friday night qualifier.  I was gonna have a go last night but it was cancelled due to lack of interest, only 5 registered!  Could be good value if it reaches the min 9 players.
