blonde poker forum

Hi all,

Just like to mention that Tom at www.antesup.com (http://www.antesup.com) will be runnning a live update thread tonight from 8pm for this event that Djinn, Actionman, Pab, The Colonel (Booder) and myself will all be playing in. There will be roughly 150-200 runners and it's a 3-day event with tomorrow starting at 4pm and the final day beginning at 2pm on Sunday. They've put a lot of work into this festival and it's got an awesome structure, so I'm sure they'd appreciate any extra support on their forum. :)

Never heard of this tourney, where is it and how did you all qualify ?

Good luck  :)up

I think they have all paid in direct K, there were sats on blue square and green joker though

Good luck to Rick and Jen  ;yippee; ;yippee; ;yippee;

Unlucky Jen   :(

What a fabulous tournament this was - I can't rate the structure or organisation more highly.  And the hotel's nice and warm.

I wasn't terribly unlucky, to tell the truth - after a shortish start to the day, I just raised fairly often and that was nice, before raising one one more time with 44, spiking a set and betting out lots - got the desired raise and a decent stack.  Which I proceeded to do away with in two tasty chunks, once re-raising someone preflop with AK and finding them with AA (they'd just moved to the table and to be honest I had no idea what was going on - foolish, hasty me) and then losing a crucial race(?) with AK against A10 which hit a ten.  They deserved it though; I had my share of fortune and have no cause to complain and would play this again if it started in ten minutes. 

Despite not quite making 200 runners, I have no doubt that when Mike Lacey does this again (which will happen in 2007) it will attract hordes.  And not one will whinge about the structure. 

Oh, and sorry Snoops and Dana.  I'm going to eat pizza with BA now.

ditto.............top marks to Mike and his team for an excellent weekend.looking forward to the next one.


the full body  swedish massage was good also     ;)

Just don't try and get him on no god damn plane fool

nice of Mike to take the time to give you a massage when presumably he was so busy with the tournament
