Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on December 11, 2006, 11:35:00 PM Feedback: Was great, except i don't believe you should allow moderator's etc to use their special lever whilst playing... that's just not fair.
Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: thetank on December 11, 2006, 11:35:41 PM If I was KeithyB, I'd postpone till the other side of Christmas. Then he may win by default ::)
Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: thetank on December 11, 2006, 11:38:37 PM I think this was an excellent idea.
A group stage might be something to think about. Makes those who donk out in round one feel more involved. :) Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: AndrewT on December 11, 2006, 11:43:36 PM I thought it was fantastic - so much so that I am REALLY ANNOYED not to be playing the old guy in the final to try and get revenge for the heads-up match at BB3.
A group stage might be something to think about. Makes those who donk out in round one feel more involved. :) I thought that as well, but then you run into the potential problem of someone who can't qualify having to play a final group game, which it might be difficult to tie them down to playing. Maybe you'll just have to not be so rubbish in future Tank? Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: thetank on December 11, 2006, 11:48:03 PM I'll work on it.
Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: AndrewT on December 11, 2006, 11:49:40 PM I'll work on it. I bet the bus would have made it through - he can play. Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: thetank on December 11, 2006, 11:55:06 PM He's had some good results I'll grant you, but his standard deviation is very high.

Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: I, Zimbra on December 12, 2006, 12:34:38 AM First, a big thank you to Tightend for setting up this event, I for one had a great time - it's my first ever heads-up comp, so I didn't know what to expect. Was tonnes of fun. :)
I do have a couple of suggestions, regarding this bit: FINAL TO BE BEST OF THREE. Stakes/times to be arranged between yourselves. 1) In later stages, would it be an idea to increase the number of 'frames' that the players play? E.g. best of five for the semis, best of seven for the final, perhaps? I wouldn't mind playing the extra games - if I were fortunate to get that far of course - and it would bring it in line with snooker where they give more play to the players, the further they get. I'm not sure but I seem to remember somewhere being told that pro Heads Up comps increase the number of chips in each stage to give the players more play; of course this can't be done on Tribeca, so increasing the number of frames might be a compromise on that score. 2) As for the 'stakes and times to be arranged between yourselves[finallists]' bit, when the finalists agree on when they are playing, would it be worthwhile informing the rest of Blonde in advance as to when and where (stakes!) it will be taking place? I can think that there might be several Blondeites who might want to railbird the final, cheer on the players, lay fake odds, insult them to their faces (you know, 'banter' ;D), and that wouldn't be possible if the masses don't know when and where it's happening. Understandable if the players want a closed room for the event, though... Yours, Zimbra Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL!

Once suggestion, why not mix up the games to have a good all round champion, NLHE, Omaha PL and O'H/L? Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: Ironside on December 12, 2006, 07:46:10 PM this has to be a joke tikay in the final of a HU comp?

(And feedback please) Post by: ThinkerJE on December 13, 2006, 07:38:30 PM Thanks to TightEnd for arranging this. Excellent comp, would be well up for the next one. Like the idea of longer games for the later stages and the mixed format sounds interesting...
Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: Indestructable on December 14, 2006, 06:06:10 PM Is there any chance of a straight forward heads up comp on Blonde. Ie it all happens on one night. I have played a few online, but can't remember any on Blonde.
If this is planned again i would like to give it a go. Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: TightEnd on December 14, 2006, 06:12:50 PM before the days of BPL there was a blonde Hu comp on Stars.
unfortunately tribecca software doesn't allow it, not easily anyway with tribecca's impending closure and BPL going elsewhere along with all the other skins then it should be possible to do a one night, one buy in HU comp in 2007 sometime Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: KeithyB on December 14, 2006, 10:18:36 PM Right....I've just about recovered from the shock of winning the semi final :o so was wondering when our illustrious leader ( and the hot favourite....I don't care what anyone else says! ;tightend;) would be available to play the final?
Unfortunately I can't be around this weekend as I'm off on a romantic trip to the Lakes with the wife ( to get rained on and blown about a lot it would appear! rotflmfao ) but am free pretty much after that. Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: KeithyB on December 14, 2006, 10:19:49 PM Talking of the wife, I'll also be reminding her this weekend where her loyalties should lie. This is because after I told her I'd made the final and was to be playing TK, you know... "the guy off the telly" all she could say was...
"Oh him?, oh he's lovely, I like him...he's really sweet ! " ;yellowcard; Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL!

Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: TightEnd on December 22, 2006, 03:15:30 PM He should be disqualified IMHO ;ifm; Shhh its Xmas. The comp will be over by Xmas 2007 no worries. Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL!

(And feedback please) Post by: Royal Flush on December 22, 2006, 03:42:54 PM Is there any chance next time this is done we can have it on stars like last time? I know its not BPL and all that but this started nearly 2 months ago! On stars its over in 1 night.
Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: Colchester Kev on December 22, 2006, 03:46:34 PM The idea wasnt to do it all on one night... it was meant to be a "play when you can" comp.
The heads up jobbies on stars arent possible on tribeca as you know. But I will play you heads up for any amount you want mug !!! [size=03pt]as long as it aint over $10[/size] Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL!

Maybe we can have an unofficial blonde comp on stars, it was a lot of fun last time with all the railing etc P.S. we can play HU if you want.

(And feedback please) Post by: KeithyB on December 22, 2006, 10:09:52 PM Have no fear, it looks like it will all be settled by Christmas 2006 after all ! ;D
As soon as Tikay has exited/secured a place (delete as appropriate) in a current BlueSq satellite...it'll be game on!! :)up Here's hoping to at least give him a run for his money! Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: I, Zimbra on December 22, 2006, 10:16:05 PM Tell us where and when and we might just give you some PRO :)up
On the related subject of private tourneys on Stars - I've been wondering recently whether anyone would be interested in little blonde HORSE tourney, we could play for $5 or so like the league games; I was thinking it might be fun, if nobody has any objection to defecting from Tribeca to Pokerstars for an evening. (A refreshing change from the usual No Limit flipaments... :D ) Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL!

Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: tikay on December 22, 2006, 10:41:28 PM I am out of the Grosvenor Satellite in rather embarrassing ciicumstances.
I call a R in a 4 way Pot with Q-9, the board came K-J-T-X-X, to give me a bad str8, & no less than THREE players were holding AQ. And Wideload was on the rail, to make it worse.... OK, I'm gonna see if I can find Keithy & get this Heads Up game on. We will play it on blonde shortly, NO RAILING....... Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL! (And feedback please) Post by: Colchester Kev on December 22, 2006, 10:46:14 PM And how i laughed :D :D :D

A 7 flops.... and then a Q rivers - Second set Keithy. 1-1... the epic continues Title: Re: Last blonde Standing: FINAL!
