blonde poker forum

No blonde bash would be complete without the sight of drunken blondeites playing "heads up" ... so here it is, the OFFICIAL bB4 HEADS UP THREAD.

Teams of 5 to be organised amongst yourselves and myself and Kev (who has been press-ganged into this) will make sure that it all runs smoothly and without a hitch (with a lot of luck) ... £20 per player/£100 per team. All money to be handed to Kev before the bash comp starts by your chosen team captain. ... He is under strict orders not to run off to the nearest pie shop with the loot.

So get talking and get your teams posted here ... we are limiting the competition to 16 teams ...so its strictly first come first served.







Details for the Heads Up No Limit Hold 'em Comp:

2500 starting chips and a 10 minute clock. Players are to arrange their own timing, whether it is the clock on the wall, mobile or wrist watch.

Blind Structure:

25/50, 50/100, 75/150, 100/200, 150/300, 200/400, 300/600.

If the games are found to be taking a great length of time, the right to change the structure is reserved either before a game or, unusually, during a game.  If changed the structure is likely to change to:

25/50, 50/100, 100/200, 200/400, 400/800.

(Previously refered to in bbHU as the "Vic" proviso)

The buy in is £100 per team (5 players), captains you are responsible for collecting the money and passing it over at registration. The draw will be made pre blonde bash and each team will be given a running order upon payment.

The winner of the first two teams drawn out will play the winner of the 3rd and 4th teams drawn out, and so on. I will provide a printed sheet of paper, visible to all to show who is playing who and the route to the final. These will also be given out to teams when paying for their registration.

We will get the games underway ASAP, as players get knocked out of the main comp and are available to play.

To save time on waiting for individual opponents exiting the main comp, we will be running it as follows: Players MUST play the first available player from the opposing team,  each player must only play once per round. 

It is the individual players responsibility to find their opponent and help to get their games under way, the captains will make sure that is happening. The results of each match should be given to Kev or myself as soon as it is finished so the order of play can be updated to show who others will be meeting in the next round.

There will be no need to ensure all matches are finished in one round before the next round matches start. As soon as one team achieves 3 victories the tie is over, there is no need to complete all 5 matches if the tie has already been decided.

If the comp is not finished by the time the casino shuts we transport ourselves to the Days Inn and finish off there, in the bar.

The payout structure will be 50% of the prize pool to the winning team, 30% to the losing finalists and 20% to the winners of a third place play off. These totals will of course, be minus Kev's bar bill.

The third place play off will be expected to be played before the final. If time is short it is open to consider a 10% each split for each of the losing semi-finalists.

Im in, but dunno who else wants to make a team up!

Once a few teams start coming together, I'll open another thread for confirmed teams.

We are the Champions, We are the Champions!!!!!!!! (currently)

team ironside is taking no prisoners

Ironside
Ironside
Ironside
Ironside
Ironside

Echo this...

Have shipped some pm's round to see if the current HU champions will be re-uniting.

If so...Be afraid....especially u ironside.

team itb please ginger x

Is it the same as last year?

yep so expect us out first match lol

we have 6 coming at the mo so will be any 5 from 6

I'll need to know the day before hun, at the very latest.  We're running it slightly different this time which will mean I need to know exact players. Sorry if it causes a problem, but it's to make life easier at the bash itself.

I am up for it, anyone need me?

I'll join ya

I can join you, but I am not very good....

So far it looks like we've got three:

Indestructable
(It would be great if you could be captain, we need a consumate professional in front of the cameras for the winners press conference!!!!! :)up)
Delboy
Tantrum

any more.....

girlies join here

i'm in ;)

whats the format for it this year?

Almost if not exactly identical to bb3, we'd tweaked it almost perfectly by then (to suit our purposes anyway). I'll get the details up either soon or tomorrow at the latest. There will be a draw made for the first round of matches before we arrive on friday, hence needing to know exact players.

Four volunteers to join Team Tightans please


last time I won my match, my 4 teammates lsot


great omen huh?


contrary to popular beleif, you do not need to be female to join this team, but it would help if you were in the event of selection tiebreakers needing to be invoked...

3rd member of Team Jock reporting for duty. Let's see if we can get Eck to the final without playing a hand again!

Suggest Team Name change to Boy Band Jock though :D

I wouldnt mind joining a team if space.

I have just sent a PM to poppet as I owe her a huge apology. I sent a PM early yesterday to her as I knew she was looking for players. In the mean time Del boy PM'd me and asked me to play. I really wanted to play so accepted his offer.

Poppet has named me in her team.

Red face for me!!!!!!!!!

1st beers at BB for poppet are on me

Red face for me too, I didn't even notice!

Poppet, I'll leave the team up and just amend when you send me the new team mate.

Have the reigning champeens entered as yet? I know we are  ;all-in; but probably debating over the name.


Kids for you huh!!

All done + dusted boss.

I hear tikay's having the bB4 trophy engraved already...

I still have my team cap so trust team "billy no mates" will make a comeback at bb4.

NB: tip to my team mates, get me to play my match early, preferably before I've had 10 pints as alcohol has been known effect my play ie allin first hand  ;ashamed; :cheers:

Good man that Tikay he knows it makes sense!!

Anyway wtf are you doing up at this time?  Is Horneris in court or something??    :dontask:


Oh and are we still the jocks or do we have some boy band/coalminer connotations now?

You are now The Jocks & Miners  :D

Confirmed Teams thread (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=21270.0)

ginger please put me as captain on your heads up confirmation list, theres only one leader of this shower of shite!

can't find our team on the list :(

Sorry Mel, not sure what happened there, you were on my list but for some reason not the confirmed thread list. Perhaps I forgot to save it lol  :dontask:

All done now xx

Okay, Team Value has another member.. which might reduce the Value part of our team name....

Step forward, DaMatrix..

Just one more needed now :)

Don't you mean the value has just joined the team? ;)

Also, I have to admit to telling a slight lie about the other members of Team Value.

They aren't Clonie Gowen, Isabelle Mercier and Liz Lui. Instead it's 2 ugly blokes, and one vacant place...

Sorry about that ;)

I know both NoFlopsHomer and Sheriff are looking to get onto a team, it might be worth PMing them...

Sorry my fault   ;ashamed;

Thanks Ginger :)

I PMed NoFlopsHomer who accepted the final spot on our team.

So, "Team Value" is:

Mango99, dino1980, Raiser98, DaMatrix, and NoflopsHomer

Are you still telling porky poker pies on your website regarding your unbeaten status?  ;D

I'll order two daughters and one kipper.

of  ;flushy;

(apart from my team)

The new name for our team is: Rainbow Trout

ty :)

FYP

Let the trash talking begin...

Changed

I love the typo in another thread about your team, where it calls you the Jocks & Minors.

rotflmfao

 ;oopsy;

Yeh but surely the miners was the typo anyway!!!!

ginger any chance you can update the teams in the team list please with the substitute players so that i can alter the odds accodingly thanks

I'll go through the bb boards tomorrow to check for changes, it would be easier though if people would let me know via PM of any amendments they've made.

come on guys help ginger ou here she obviously hasnt had time to update the teams as tightys team still had actionjack in and hes a non starter.

please pm ginger your team changes so she can amend in the other thread and i can compile my odds accordingly

thanks

Actionjack is still in there, yes I know he's not attending now but I haven't been given his replacement yet either!

But please, if you see that your team is now incorrect, PM me ASAP and I will update them.

ITB, as far as I'm aware that is the only change. I promise to find time tonight and read though to see if I have missed any other changes. Sorry, It's been a bit mad here!

no probs ginger been a nuthouse here to  rotflmfao

our team is as it was, nothings changed

Jane, any chance you can make the first round draw, proir to the BB4. We can then rib each other merciasly, and our team can get down to Burtons to buy our new suits, like the conferance team in that tv ad that draws Arsenal. (Jocks and miners)

The draw has already been made, just not made public yet.  ;D

I'll have a chat with about it with Kev as he is ...ahem, helping with the bbhu comp. Can't see any real reason why not to release it sooner.

ITB, would this effect you with the book in any way?

I have lost a player (Smithy69) so currently searching for a quality replacement.

Smithy69 has been replace by Chippieleicester.

Grrr, why did he pm me then...

Sorry I went by his PM, but will wait for chippie to confirm.

No it's ok Ind. I think Moorman needs a team so I'm waiting to see if he'll be on mine

 ;welcome; to "Only fools" Chippie

happy for it to be released. it in fact would help me with the book.might drum up some more interest.

plus i would be able to see who the first lambs are to be slaughtered by the itb! ;nana;

OK, I will post it later unless there are any objections. If it hasn't appeared by tonight can somebody PM me to remind me please?

nice one ginger can you put it in its own thread for all to see.

i should be able to price up some match betting then as well

Can you feel the anticipation...

...Please pair me with ChipRich, one time.

I'll take on both of you. 

Chippie has confirmed.

Wrong attitude Junior - you the captain as well  >:( We're getting Swordpoker to do a team psyche up before the thing starts!

now we know who will be running round doing dog impressions

Tee hee

Heads-Up Comp Final match video. Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shV0Dogysu4

Well done to the winners...

I thought the Jocks+Miners were going to go back to back.

But i cant handle the pressure of having to play a deciding game#5 for 2 rounds.

"Ok Ginger I have spent the last 6 months practising heads up and I am ready to play in the heads up now"
Sorry but your team is allready out.
"But I have only just been knocked out and Chippie is still in the tourney"
Dellboy, Tantrum and Silo lost 3-0.
"Sigh"
 ::)

Sorry  ;hide;

Standard.

LOL how miserable do I look?!  You certainly can't tell from that vid, but I have to say that that heads up game with Mango is the most enjoyable game of poker I have ever played.  It was played in great spirit, was a real epic (anyone know how long it went on in the end?), and seemed to be a fitting end to the competition that it became the decider. 

Thanks Mango - it's a game I'll never forget and theres no-one I'd rather have shared that last game with than the 'god of poker' himself :)

Who's the poker daddy?
 rotflmfao

BB4 heads up champion, Quiz winner and now on Youtube, what a weekend.  ;tightend;

LOL, Yes, it was great, great fun.. Really enjoyed playing against you too.  Congratulations on taking it down - a fitting end that it came down to captain vs captain. No pressure then! :p

It was an epic battle - must have lasted 40 mins maybe? Finishing 2nd saved the bookie £400 (We had £20 on us at 25-1 and £20 on us at 16-1)...

Was a bit worried this morning when I woke up with a banging head, that perhaps I'd overdone the trash-talking!! :) Seems from the video that all was in order though :D

Great game :) Hope we get drawn against each other at bb5!! :)

Great game guys, that last one was just a classic.   Well played both of you, it was a fun game to be watching, must have been great to have been playing in it :)

Congratulations to Team Chorlton and very well played Mango and his team ;applause;

You definately played 300/600 - not sure whether you got to 400/800 which meant with 10 minute levels you played at least 1 hour :)

I think a lot of it was down to the dealer! wasnt he good! ;whistle;

SORRY
 ;hide;

My defeat was  caused by Lord Tantrum... and someone who could not fold top pair, and Wardonkey failed to deal me runner runner flush, and the chair was to small and the lighting was bright and  ,,,,.///.................



Nxt time we will take it down.


Claw vs Mango though- what a game and what an entertainment - good game and great banter.
 :D

 ;angel;

Flushy is a sick rack heads up.

True... The very first hand against me we both ended up all-in... Flushy  Kd Kh, me  Qd Jd

Only for the board to come down  Qh ?d  Jc and two more diamonds on the turn and river!!

Yahoooooo!!! "One Hand!!" "I am the King of Poker!!!" etc, etc... lol  ;ashamed;

Mango99 pwns Flushy obv.

Think the whole casino heard who the poker daddy was!

FYP

The funniest thing about that was that when the 8d came on the turn making the board Qh Jc 9d 8d, you screamed even more loudly despite the fact that Flushy lost exactly one out.

He's a simple chap....

I remember beating Flushy heads-up in one hand too a while ago. He obviously sucks!

Extended footage of blonde bash here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C59-OOZujl4

Hey Claw, can you post up the pic you took of me on your phone? The one where I am doing my Phil Laak impersonation :)

I AM A POKER GOD, I AM THE DADDY!

Poor Claw, it took her about 5 minutes to deal the 3rd flop card we were both shouting so loud.

lmao! :)

You have to admit it was a great craic though.!!. That was my errrm... Poker Brat impression... I especially like the "hey guys over here... It's gonna be all over on the first hand..!" before you flipped the Kings ... ;)

I did a funky Phil Laak impression later on when I was heads up vs claw.. I'd quite like to see the photo! :)
