blonde poker forum

Hiysa all :)

OK bear with mehere, mental as well, and, it's baking as well - a big up to the Gutshot team, and Barry in particular, for letting Blonde Update from the nnection!

Simon Nowab has just won his Aussie Millions seat from the net room as well!

OK Red and Tikay are stuck in traffic, but nothing is going to be starting in here for at least 20 mins!

So far on site we have:

M3boy (who has a tale to tell about his journey here!)
Royal Flush
Malc-M
TightEnd
Doc1234(might need to check that nick)
RobS
Jo Hardman
Simon Nowab

Kiv is on his way!

Bear with me, it's chaotic!

Heid

good luck heid............keep kiv away from the bar

LOL tell me about it, I am already kinda scared and he hasnt got here yet!

wat is the main event £?

North west dream team is there Heid, simon zach, chubbs, womble and dave clayton. keep your eyes on them for me please

140 runners @ £500 each w/10k added

Great!! I was hoping there would be updates for this   ;D

Good luck James  :-* xXx

I'll say thanks for the updates now, as I always forget at the end,  I'm sure they'll be superb as always. Heid, my sympathies are with you over the heat in that place, it really is something else. It must be all that testosterone lol.

Jane xx

Will do Ariston....

Ok, so there are so many runners we seem to have taken over some of the room in the restaurant that is being refurbed next door!

Also in are:

Greek Jack
Willie Tann
Neil Channing
Gary Bush

It's all go here, apart from we haven't started yet!

Tikay and Red are here now - we are all go the Kiv hasn't arrived yet :)

I think we are starting to take seats in the next few mins.

OK call has gone out to take seats - I am be very unpopular at times as I am sharing a power supply with a fan, so I will have to keep switching plugs!

I am on also on free drinks courtesy of the Gutshot - shame I am on cokes!!!!

Ok...

45 min clock

Blinds 25-50

135 mins from when we start til the next break - it's gonna be a long night ...

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up red bull!"

Heid
xx

Just about to start :)

Ok we're a go :)

Robert HM is here now, and the riffle of chips is deafening but no big news yet..

Laurie Liffey is here according to Kev :)

Heid
xx

Keep alert Heid... specially when Robert is around ...x

make sure you keep kev and robert working

Correction, 40 min levels - no totals til we are over the second level so the alternates can join the fun !
 
I'm being careful now, cause Kev and Robert are here, but they have gone to gawp downstairs!

Heid
xx

Womble is next door in the restaurant with Flushy apparently, will pop over in a sec and see what's what :)

Tikay is on 12k - he had 16 when robert first asked him then Willie Tann gave him a look and reality prevailed!

Heid , remember M3 is a bloke and you know what they're like under a little stress  :)up

Robert HM here, to lazy to log on. I have been TOLD to type summat, her that must be obeyed ordered it.

Only can add that Burnley John has been asked how he was getting on, he rattled his head side to side and looked grim, I think that means it's not good but who knows.

Any chance on finding out how many chips James has?

Please  :D

(RHM) Hi Ginger
Heid is doing a scout about and I hope she has gone next door, if not I'll go when she comes back.

Thanks Robert  ;)

you not playing in this then robert?

wats the startin stack

(RHM)
Right info for you, Ian Oldershaw is playing. Tikay says he had 28k, counted again and ahs now got 10k. Womble is down to about 8k, not sure how he has done that as it is too early to play a hand for him.

Flushy is still vitually on starting chips, his table is so slow because we have a dweller how takes 3 mins for every decsion, the TD has been called and he's been told to get a move on.

Tony Dobson 1500 after two massive outdraws (per Jo H)

Kevin O'Connell is down to 3k after getting top pair a couple of times and getting put in by two flush draws which hit both times.

Starting stacks 10k
No bood, you know I don't play poker

Robert Benilli goes all in with 3 spades on board, Matey Boy (1) folds.

Kevin O'Connell out, his AK lost to AJ. He's wondering around the bar uttering "bad beat bad beat bad beat" but smiling

riverdave here as an alternative, waiting for 4th place.

tikay says he has 36k (ROFL)

(RHM as was the one above)

the dweller on flushys table wouldnt be carlo would it       

(RHM)

No the dweller isn't Carlo, I saw him at the Vic earlier :o)

Womble down to a guestimate of about 2.5k. The is a big stack on his table, name unknown.

Tikay hiding chips but thought to be about 7.5k

Jo H on 8 or 9k she says.

Red sleeping on his starting stack

It seems that the restuarant next door is usually a lap dancing club, yes that's where the Flush is sitting.

(My (RHM) typo corrected on Jo Handman's orders)

Hi Heid,

How is Luke Smith ( TheDoc12345) doing please.

Thanks Mrs Doc   ;)

(RHM)
Jo says "round things"

 :o 

(RHM...still here)
Tikay 11k

Gururaj, another blonde, hope I got the spelling right, is here.

TightEnd, 7.5k, he lost a bit when stright on the board, he bet it, got called and Matey Boy (2) got a boat.

Bushy has played a hand! Tikay says it was last week.

riverdave still waiting

Paul Parker 8k, "What I started with"

Luke is on 15.5k and is very happy.

Mrs Doc, message from Luke "I'm a on a table full of blokes"

Well all I can say is some of those "blokes" are real curvey.

(JOKE!)

riverdave is in!

He's been given 7550 chips, he says to me, in front of his table , I will have to steal a few blinds to make up!

Just started Level 3 blinds now 75/150

RHM

lolololol.... I dont believe it, he'd be asking for a table change !    :D ;D :D

riverdave is on a table facing Rory Liffey, just scene setting

RHM

Womble is smiling and has played a hand, he is not giving info atm

Flushy on 10k still, atmosphere better on the table, dweller seems to speeding up.

RHM

Has Kivvy & Robert left it all to you Heid?..x

more important are they in the bar  ;D

heid, do you now what time the break is please?

No way .. not having that ... they do not drink.... ;D

Heid here :)

Robert has been great doing the typing and I have been getting the info (thats why it is so sketchy!!).

Break is in 28 mins Nrs Doc, Doc is in fine fettle and doing well:)

It's bloody hot in here!

Heid
xx

You should have taken you own fan that's what i did ..


Mind you .. i exhausted the batteries ..twice..

Andy Ward is OUT...

on a board of ? q 2 with two spades..

Andy with k6 spades (on a flush draw)

big bet in...matey boy no3 went all in ..

Andy called...

no3 had qq making trips....

2 on the turn......

There you go ...... :(

not going to say a word
 :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

I normally take me own :(

Simon is too busy chatting to tell us how he is doing <g>.

Malc_m...wants to point out he laid JJ down brilliantly on a rag flop, saved from a straight probs.

Heid
xx

Little bit of drama between two anons. Board of 967 rainbow, Matey Boy (4) raises 7k, big painful dwell, and the other Matey Boy (5) says I have to call, shows AA, Boy (4) says good call, I was bluffing and turns over AJ hearts. turn brings a second heart on the board and, after sharp, intake of breath, a diamond falls.

Willie Tann 10k
TightEnd 9k
Burnley john 2.9k
tikay 9150ish

Kiv talking to anybody he can make eye contact with (Heid's words not mine) and generally having a sarky time.

Rory Liffey all in ..... Matey Boy (6) folds

Heid gone of to the porn club for a chip recce

Next breeak in 10 mins

RHM

Luke is on 25.5k!!!

Good work all, can you tell me if Dave Grindstaff is playing ?

owner, I'll ask around.

Help me a bit with a description, if you can.

Excellent.... Go Smithy  ;)

Sorry, he's a biggish chap, but biggest clue is if you hear him speak, he's one of those American types.

Womble plays a hand, he folds to abig raise and puts his set of 4s down

TightEnd back up to 8k

W. Tann 23k

both on same table as Burnley John.

riverdave down 75 chips.

Break now starts.

RED-DOG 9.5k

Still no luck with the search for Mr Grindstaff (great name)


(RHM still)

Chip count on James please if you could xx

Dave Clayton from Blackpool/Manchester is here on 16k and says "Hi" to ariston.

hello peeps.  8)

keep it real.  O0

Heid thinks James is still on about 10k

Robert, don't knock yourself out looking for Mr Grindstaff.   I can't remember wether he said he was playing this or the £300 at the vic tomorrow !  ~:

please ask tighty: is ian Rankin the worst novelist of all time?
please ask the dog: is flushy the best player on laddies?
THANKS

We are on a break, and Robert, Tighty and Mr Dog are all outside getting a respite from the heat, Kiv is in a barrel of JD somewhere.

All are still in, no sign of Mr kay at the moment, and my feet hurt!

Heid
xx

Oh and they are breaking the restaurant tables next door, which is a shame as it cooler in there. We are off break!

Of course he is!!! ::) :P

Flushy has been over for a chat before he moves to his table right at the front of the club <g>. Difficult table somewhat akin to muppetville, he's on 10150. His spirits are up though!

We are just staring again!

Simon Nowab out, hand before the break. Soz Si!


Gary Bush down but not out qq vs aa - not escapable.

More info on that Malc_M, hand. He was in early position and found himself with JJs, 10 high flop, Malc_M checked, chummy boy comes in with pretty huge raise, Malc_m thinks ooeeerrr and lays down Jacks and Chummy shows Aces. Good read Malc.

Mrs Doc the blinds have just gone up to 100/200.

Hi Robert, Heid,

n1 Malc, keep it up.

Ang  *p

Hi Robert xxx

(Dewi)

Great updates - wish we were there. keep it going.  Good luck to all the blondites, we've just watched poker 425 and now we know who some of them are.......... ::)  ;D

Tracey

Dewi xxx

aah bless well done camel :)  

hello chaps and chapesses :)  great posts  

oh dave grindstaff is a canadian guy about 6ft and another of our slough palace gamers :)

ps  blondeites are welcome to our game anytime

Just spoke to him 7lb 13 mother and baby fine. Jake not certain yet as mother prefers another name

See you have changed you tag again Mel, what site is THAT on and is it monthly subscription?

(Would like to blame Heid but it's not)

In which case it definitely wont be Jake  :D  From now on Mother knows best (at all times).

hey dingdell :)  good to see u at sarfend :) 

shafted on vc at the moment, no subscription needed lol   but had my first win session in 3 weeks today hurray

Congrats Mel, maybe just in time before Declan wants new shoes.

Good to see you too. We've just watched 425 and relived it all - and my job as a colonic irrigationist got a mention - I nearly spat out my wine at that point - I'm thinking of getting Tikay to wear a sponsored t-shirt from the clinc - what do you think????

I've had one of those weeks when I knew as soon as I sat at the table I should be at home.....organised some pro lessons to sharpen up the game and get my confidence back so watch out  ;D  Well done for winning today -as long as it's not against me I'm delighted and hope it continues  :)up

Tracey

Any updates on the chips?

James is now up to 18k.

We were given dufff info earlier, starting chips were 8k

That was always my nemisis 15 years ago, I'd be looking at a £20 call in a cash game at the vic. But my mind kept saying "Kids need new shoes".
Now they are both away at uni.........so nothing changes bah.

How many left in Heid?

dingdell you the gal with the tattoed eye brows....................... >:?

So there was a bit of a Willie Tann incident a few minutes ago (Heid here),  a few of his chips fell over the line of play - he disputed, and was nade to call his 300 chips that were over the line, the 500 chip that was a quarter of way over, was fine and they let him keep it - but it was a bit tense.

Tikay had an accident with a5 vs, but he's ok, it was only a flash wound!

Robert's left the hothouse for a cooling wind outside!

Heid
xx

Probs just under 100 left -  slow going - I may need to shave me legs again by the time they get down to 18!

That table change must have been really good!! 18k now..... WOOOT!!!!  

He was really pleased to move tables!

Current chip leader is on 38,500.

Heid

HUN!!!!!      MWAH :-*    good luck sweetheart xxx

heid, do you know what time they are playing down to or is it just to the final 18?

Hope Lukes still collecting them chips  ;D

Cheers
MrsDoc

No idea to be honest... 18 still stands I think, hubby is still doing well he's chirpy anyway :)

The boys have abandoned me to the £50 holdem cahs downstairs...so bear with me :)

Going on a recce....

So Flushy had an oops he has told me to say!

Accident with AJsuited I think...he's ok still has 15k

chripy... that'll have something to do with been on an all male table, lololol....   ;D  

keep it going smithy...

Accident with AJ sooted????? as long as it wasn't the same sort of accident I had with that in Barcelona  ::)

Tikay on 33k - really! I almost got Robert to be an outside auditor.

Dave Clayton Rayvon chip leader with 65k

Blondes doing well ...

Flushy hit a flush with 74suited, after a move into the big blind and a call from a short stack.

Just about to check on the Dog.

The Dog has 10k - again!

Flushy has said he is going to knock out Luke Smith, I told him that was fighting talk, and it's 2am - no good for fighting!

Anyone know offhand how much a cab is from the gutshot to Victoria 0'dark oclock?

jo handman is out - no details, I didnt like to ask - it didn't look pretty

lolol... my moneys on luke!  :D   good old poker table talk hehe...

It's a hotbed of testosterone here!

81 left give or take a few - the count always seems to be a bit out.

Blinds up to 500-1000 now.

This ought to make em drop quicker.

Willie Tann back up to 20k - he's been on a rollercoaster all night - the gutshot updater tells me he is in a much better mood now.

Don't rule Flushy out he's long overdue a big result, he's certainly got the game and it's all down to when, not if.

Come on Horse, I know you can do it!! xXx

They are racing off the yellow(25's) chips at the mo.

Even the staff think it's going to be a long long night!

Chaos reigns :)

Races are finished we are into the new blind level 500-1000

Red is out:

AK v Q8 (yes you read that right!)

8 Arrives on the flop :(

Now THAT is a bad un!

just wondered Heid what the ave chip stack is,  cos those blinds seem very high with 80 runners left

sounds like a fast blind structure

Mel the ave stack according to the plasma on the wall is 14683  - it's a bit out of date though I expect.

40 min clocks, and people are just taking ages to go.

Heid
xx

Flushy is up to 22k

aa in sb :)

Just wanted to say good luck before the Updaters go home from the Vic - thanks for the Information Heid  - and will have a sneaky peek when I get in no doubt...

Just got a text from James, He's now on 38K!!!!!  WOOOHOOOOO.   No details so could someone get them please??

he didn't expand, but told me that he was at that, what's more pressing is that he is now on the official big stack table, Willie tann is on there, and lots of monster stacks...I'll keep an eye on it as it right next to me. 60 runners left.

Heid
xx

taxi from gutshot to vic cost us £25 last night heid :)

Thanks Heid, This is when James is dangerous, for others as well as himself!!! lol

Jane xx

off to bed heid, any chance of a quick update on dave clayton and womble?

Luke just knocked out greek jack with a monster 9 full 8 FH

Big big post of at least 30k

WooHoo...     keep collecting those chips ..  ;)


Doing brill...    ;D

I didn't see the hand (there was a crowd of stinky men there), but the gist of it wasa Luke went in with 10's, called by Willie with Aces, 10 came on the river to make trips, but Willie had the straight, not a lot of damage done to Luke the chip leader though!

Ops.... so long as he's safe, protect those chips Smithy!
 ;)

Everyone is upstairs now, with cash players only remaining downstairs.

Ave stack is 23k, chip leadser is around 100k

and he's BLONDE!

5 tables left :)

I'll be going home in the daylight!

As far as I know the plan is still to go down to 18 tonight....They can't realistically do that if they want people back here at 2pm?

VV Strange :)

Anyways we carry on... but it's slow... the blinds go up again in a bit .. about 5 mins, to 1-2k..

That shoudl do the biz..

Heid
xx

We're on a break :)

We're off the break - blinds are`1-2k

Robert is doing very well in the cash game - just as an aside :)

how many left please? I guess Lukes doing okay.

cheers
MrsDoc

can we have some updates on chips etc...

Just got another text from James, he's now on 69K!!!! again no details so can we get some peeps to find out what has gone down, Also, I requested a how many Luke was on... 40K apparently.

Thanks Ginger  :)

No problem Mrs Doc, you're very welcome. We'll get these updates one way or another! lol ;)

Good luck to all who are left in especially Flushy!

Tell him Ian said not be affraid to look stupid... and to keep going!

Vidal

Will do Ian  ;) Just trying to find out what the blinds are and how many left now.

Jane xx

30 players left, Blinds now are at 1500 - 3000.

Hi guys, just to let you know that I'm home, safe and sulking

Well done to heid, great job with the updates

Enjoyed meeting all the blondes old and new (theres fahzands of us)

and yes Ginge, Flushy IS the best player on Laddies, when I'm not there

Now, does anyone know whats happening?

Poor guys, aren't going to get much sleep before they are dragged back for the final tomorrow....   just reading the cards correctly will be a hard job for some!   ~:

I know nothing more than what I have passed on, I don't want to keep texting James for info, If something happens i'll blame myself :-[ When I hear more I'll post it straight away. The last I knew about Tikay (and this was when there were still 50 players left) he was on 55K.

Has Hied gone to bed then, or has she joined the cash game?

btw Ginge, your old man is a really nice bloke, but don't tell him I said so

No idea Red, I asked James an hour ago if Heid had packed it in for the night, but never got a reply  ???

why ty Red, James really is a sweetheart and I'm rather fond of him myself!! Don't worry though, we'll keep that between the 2 of us. lol

Tikay is the new chip leader on about 90k  :o

blinds now 2000 - 4000

I left at 4.30, M3Boy and I having been steamrollered by the Pokmer Juggernaut, Robert HM, in the £50 cash game and Heid was just leaving then

Poor thing was on her last legs and as it looked like 8-9am before they got down to 18, tikay got her a taxi back to a well earned bed

Insuffreably hot tonight, and they started with 145 runners...so the whole thing took ages to whittle down

When I left tikay, Luke Doc and Flushie all going great guns

Dave77 had just decimated Willie Tann and there were 43 left. Meant to be playing down to 18

Dave Clayton chip leader

Nice to see all the blondietes there tonight....

Apparently there are 25 left

GOOO ONNNN THE BLONNNNNNNNDES!!!!!!!

Apparently Tikay doubled up AK vs AQ - I think.

I think he is chip leader with circa 90k chips

apologies ... see ginger posted above!

James on 64K and now 23 players left. Oooohhh, I'm starting to get really nervous now!!

Finally down to 18 left!!

xx

Gl to all tomorrow although my money is on Jim McShane he can't miss a final at the mo! O0

Must be that new sponsorship deal TK

Good Luck at 4 iits about time the old fella got past the bubble!

no talk of bubbling, no self fulfilling prophecies please. 
good luck Tikay, James too.

Hiyas all :)

I threw in the towel at around 4.40 this morning, and went in search of a taxi with Robert- so I am sorry if I left you guys in the lurch - it was tough going, and soo hot!

Idid have a blast last night, even if I made a pig's ear of the updating<apologies again>. It was lovely to meet everyone - Luke was going really well, Flushy is sweetheart, and is a fantastic player, and Mr Tony - what a run, I am kinda pleased when I left if it made you finally get that correct count on your chips of 1.3mill k<gg>

Richard is lovely (as usual), Mr Dog is lovely, and Robert was a lifesaver with his co-updater skills!

We really need to do a life blonde tourney - my god it would be a hoot!

Heid

Lightweight  ;)

Great work last night Heid, especially in those 'sauna' conditions.

Heid,
Thanks for your excellent updates last night, you never know could be a cereer in it, agree we should have a blonde live tourney in Blackpool -  i

Updated betting on the event from Stan James.

http://www.stanjames.com/betnav/sportview.asp?sID=1942.2&Name=&cWebTemp=PLAYCOMP&nIDMK=901225.2&cMkName=&sltopclass=150898%2E2&slevent=361066%2E2 (http://www.stanjames.com/betnav/sportview.asp?sID=1942.2&Name=&cWebTemp=PLAYCOMP&nIDMK=901225.2&cMkName=&sltopclass=150898%2E2&slevent=361066%2E2)

13/2 favourite, eh?  Worth a flutter?

BTW the link looks all messed up because of the blooming card graphics, but it does seem to work.

I cant believe this, now w/ all seriousness it will be interesting if Tikay can change gears >:D get mean and nasty >:Dmove guys off hands when he flops a good draw >:D

Tikay, best of luck, play the  4s 7c, allin and over the top

GREAT JOB

I would like to congratulate Heid on her fantastic coverage, it can't be easy in sauna conditions running up and downstairs just to fill everyones update demands.

For those that started moaning about the lack of updates in the early hours - you should be ashamed!

Well done Heid, and if you are brave enough to start again this afternoon, only do what you can, when you can.

Nah I am staying at home today - I am chickening out<g>.

Nah I don't blame people for moaning, I did fizzle badly at the end :)

If I could drive to the club, I might well do it, but I feel liek I have been bulldozed<g>.

Now if I wasn't working tomorrow....

We can follow it on the Gutshot site anyways :) I am sure there will e txt's flying around :)

Heid
xx

i think it was more to do with the abrupt end to the updates rather than anything else

WHAT IS THAT WEBSITE, GREAT UPDATES HEID

Brian, I think you will get coverage on gutshot.com website. hope you okay. Claire x

Yeah, mea culpa, I was sure I had done a bye, I'm off posting, but I hadn't sorry guys - I was really tired :(

It was a 22 hour day for me yesterday<g>.

THANKS, how r u and Luke?  I dont have your email address? can you pm it to me?

ive just had a tenner on flushy .... go on my son :)up

brian, just sent it.... it should be in your personal email message  :) we're great thanks.

OMG, I DO hope Heid never got it in the neck. It was SO hot there last night, & she worked SO hard. It is tough to Update folks, truly, it's very tiring mentally & physically. I have not read the thread yet (just outa bed, we never stopped playing till turned 7am) but I am truly grateful to Heid, in particular, plus Robert & Tighty. & to Flushy for the loan of his 'puter.

I am afraid that I don't think we can manage Updates from Gutshot today, though I may be able to text a few bits to someone. But there WILL be a great Live Update by Jen at The Vic for the EPT Biggie - enjoy that, it'll be a corker.

OK, we begin at 4pm at Gutahot. I'm at The Vic rigt now, reserving blonde's "territory" for Jen's work-station, then I'll poodle off to Gutshot when she arrives here.

Oh, & thanks for the "Good Luck" Messages from you guys, loads of texts & stuff, & The Rookie (WSOPin06) wants advice from me apparently.......

Good luck all - and go you blondes.

xxx

 ??? ??? ???

I had a tenner of both , cmon the blondes gl boys   :)up    ah asp

Afternoon Nemesis, Mate.

I THINK your good luck message to Ram - with which I concur - MAY be on the wrong thread.  I got enough probs at Gutshot without HIM turning up!

GL TK..Are you in the money already? Says top 18 pay in thread earlier?

Good luck to tikay flushy and paul parker!!!

Well done boys and bring it on home...

i thought i read it restarted at 2pm ???
good luck all

Is it a master plan to have Tikay show up late, if so Tikay just consult Jen on how to show up at a final table and still win :)up

4pm..i think it was a late change due to ending at 7.30 am

Gutshot starts today at 4pm, we finished this morning at about 7am.

All those who return are guaranteed £500.

The winner is due to get £27,000, I believe.

By the way, I am being sponsored for the Gutshot event by Sporting Odds.com - but that's another story, for another time!

Good Luck Mr K  8)

I have to echo these sentiments, Heid was an absolute star last night and we were very lucky to have her

Is this a record. Your third different sponsor and didn't you cash the other two times? :)up

Correct Red. Sponsored by Poker 425 at Gutshot a few months ago, got 5th.

Sponsored by Wm Hill at one comp at this year's WSOP in Vegas, the $1,500 NLH, got 31st, $4,000.

And this Gutshot one, for Sporting Odds.com makes it 3 from 3.

Believe me, i am VERY proud of that. I have given my sponsors value, & that is what it's about.

Hats off to Sporting Odds.com who added an amazing £10,000 to the prize pool (Thats ADDED) Wow!!

Also a big thank you to all at the Gutshot who always seem to to do the very best they can for everyone

IMHO dedicated poker clubs are the future of poker, good luck to them

Good luck today to ALL Blondites.

Last night was fun, thanks to Flushie for the use of the laptop, you ought to clear the memory out when you lend your PC  ;D

Great to meet new faces, Heid, riverdave, Kiv
Just as good to see "old" faces.

Sorry I flagged in the end, 4 hours sleep in two days is not good and I was woken up by the phone at 2,00pm

Quick mention to those in the cash game, I was a little out of my depth for a beginner and just rocked up and got a bit lucky. You have to smile when you have A9, flop is 939 giving you trips, the turn is another 3 giving you a boat and the river is A giving you a better boat, even better when the other chap has A3 for a weaker boat. I love this game, sorry, to, you know who you are, for checkraising the set of Kings on the river.

OK I know it says "get it quietly" but i couldn't resist.

Yes, Robert, news of your exploits in the cash game preceded you, in sentences containing a lot of f's

Cheers guys for the good luck messages!

Dan, thats £10 you will never see again!! lol.

I also would like to thank Heid, i know how hard it is to do updates, and i did it in an air-conditioned casino on 1 floor, not a tightly packed card room boiling hot and 2 levels!!!

The real problem is no-one told me the final was televised, so i had no chance to shave and i have had 3 1/2 hrs sleep!

Flushy you are a dish, and Jane is lucky, I can't imagine you looking bad on the box darlin' :)

Hun, you managed to go 66hrs with NO SLEEP, and no shave and I still fell for you :-*, I think in comparison you look just fine   :)up

Good luck to my babes, Janey kisses have been sent xXxXx.

Also, Good Luck to all other blondites ( minus the smooches!!)

Good luck Flushie and of course Tikay
Love Charmaine  ;)

Paul it was a pleasure meeting you yesterday, and you can buy me a drink for relieving you of Robert from the cash game<ggg>

Hope you got the lie in :)

Heid
xx

no chance i reckon youve got it won already.. got every faith in you

If anybody geys any info by text or whatever please pass it on. I have had a little bet on Stan James

I'm just sending a text to tell to James to say i'm happy to post any updates if Tikay wants to send them to me via text. Hopefully we'll get some sort of update going one way or another.

Great, ta x

"The other chap" - Gee thanks!!!!!! lol

TK QQ John Curtis (possibly Jonty from Cheeseypoker?) had KK..TK down to 75000

I didn't want name names  ;D

Thanks for the education last night, I learned more than you think.

How did you get on after we left?

Tikay is back up to 135k after finding aces that really were aces :)

Though the report on Gutshot gave other guy a flush? QT suited no good vs AA  :D

Made my buy in for the main event back (ish) £500 up so worth the early morning

Yeah I saw that that other player must be pissed if that hand was mucked etc., I think it's probably a cardo (like a typo but with cards?). It must be a mistake, but I think Tikay got the pot

Cardo? Cool a new word! ;D

Excellent! That, I think, was your target.

anybody know how flushy is getting on? is my money still good ?? any news ginger?

Boooo!! James just called, out in 14th   :'(

He'll be online in a moment or two with the details.

Well done sweetheart, you can't do your best if you're just not getting anything to play with.  :-* (

Nice try Flushie. There's always Ladbrokes.

James, you did fantastically well :)

Of course he did Heid, but I know he will still be bitterly disappointed, but considering the very few cards that he got that were even able to be considered half decent he has pulled off a bit of a miracle IMO.

U/L James - least you dont need to worry about the TV camera's now. lol

See? I told you its better to get unlucky early on. DAMN THAT KING ON THE TURN!!!

WD neway m8, another achievement.

Did you use my Reno chip as a card marker?!?! - Maybe it was fate that I "exchanged it" for a £5 chip.

Tikay in the final KK vs 66...879 flop but two bricks and he busts out the 11th spot.10 handed final..9 handed televised so on TV bubble now..

Come on tikay!!!!!!

Unlucky Flushy, great effort though, WP  8)

Tikay on final TV table.

Go on Tikay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O0 O0 O0 O0 :)up :)up :)up ~: ~: 0:-) 0:-) /:-| /:-| >:? >:?

Do it for the saga-louts Tikay

 :)up

One of your very best

Ah well, i came back with 37k its 3500-7000 so not much play! Few steals i am on 45k, 7 handed i am in 2nd position with KQ for the 100th time, i have had to fold it all last night, now its worth it and i push in. Fold all the way to the BB who wakes up with AK.

Flop came AT3 to give me the str8 draw, turn a rag club to put 3 clubs down there, i have the Qc but he has the Kc, river comes a Jack! But its the Jack of clubs. So i depart with the 2nd nuts!

I cant really complain, i was pretty card dead, won 2 major pots last night, was only ever all in twice whole comp. Next time i will hopefully get some hands!

Ul Flushy-- Gr8 effort tho--I'll give you my bad beat story privately!
Thanks for the %!! LOL
Catch up soon..
Malc-M

tikays in to battle

His Ak v Aj

flop is 10, 6, j  >:(

turn 7

River Q   ;D

tikay gets an Ace hight straight and up to 200k

And--
Best of Luck Tikay!!!
Malc-M

Good to see you again last night Malc

U 2 M8
GLad to see you cashed in the cash!!
Malc-M

The ironside school of AK..only difference is that Tikay wins. Come on grandad you can do it.

Palmstahl, who tikay left short stack, moved all in against Willie Tann and came second, 8 left, tikay assured of £1972 at least.

Come on Tikay!

Trying to dip a toe in the action down at Gutshot while our own Vic final is on pause... Hoorah for the blondes!  Tikay seemed distracted enough down here this afternoon to go on and win it (clearly in Concentration already) so I am not surprised he's done so brilliantly.

Sad they have not invented teleportation yet, please let me know if you've got a minute who the other guys are at the final, as I can't do the detailed trawl I'd like

Danny Samson
Tom Christmas
Jim McShane
John Curtis
Willie Tann
Matt Berger
Dominic Tofani
Tony Kendel

good luck tikay.

Willie Tann reportedly out to john curtis, 7 left

 Congrats TK !!

[attachment deleted by admin]

Congrats to Ben's brother John. Oh and good effort young mr. kendall.

Well thank you EVERYBODY.......

A tourney Report is in the oven, but to fill in a few details now......

No, it will NOT be on Poker 425. The Vic was, quite correctly, our venue of choice this week. It (Gutshot) was recorded for TV by PokerZone - I THINK that's Channel 226. Proper TV Table, hole card cameras, mices, the lot, I understand they will show the Final "properly". Gulp....... I heard it would be on in a few weeks, but I really don't know.

The deal? It was nip & tuck, Chip Daddy had 450k, I had 340k & Mr Christmas had 301k, all "ish". Both the lads seemed keen to do business, I was too tired to argue, I just said I'd go with the flow. Play it out, lock some up, or chop. They both wanted a chop, so chop we did. Chip Daddy proposed £20k, £16,850, £16,850, done. (Structure "official" was £26k, £16k & £11k I think). Unusually, Dealers can be tipped at Gutshot, so Winner & I both left £500, dunno what Tom did, but those dealers worked their socks off.

Well done to the winner, he simply murdered me heads-up, & that's all she wrote.

Some very touching comments in this thread, I don't know what to say.

The Update - clearly, there was a bit of pinching from Gutshot, which I was completely unaware of. We don't mess with Gutshot, they don't mess with blonde, we all get along fine. I am sure that, on this one occasion, Derek & Barry will be understanding of what happened, & why. If blonde can repay the favour one day, we will.

Derek & Barry were simply marvellous, thanks guys.

So were Sporting Odds.com, a story which i am still trying tio find time to tell you. But briefly, they sponsored me, & I'd like to publicly thank them for that.

OK, Austria calls, gotta go.

Great result Tikay. Congratulations.

Hole card cameras for the TV broadcast - does anyone want to start an over/under on total 'misreads'?

congrats tikay i totally missed this

hi tikay and the rest of you ... new member 1st post ... found the forum after hearing tikay talk about it during the tournie. made the final 6 with you (matt b) and was most impressed with you and john ... thought you 2 clearly played the best poker of the final 18 (hard to tell till then) although John was more agressive and i thought he may carry it heads up. i still remember you calling his all in with qq on penultimate table when you knew you were beat but other than that thought you played fantastic. it was my first live game (only played online) and went out playing a hand horribly .. but look forward to doing battle again one day. a great few days and i look forward to the improvement my game will get from this forum.

Welcome diamond8.

Keep an eye out for Blonde only online Comps if that is where your natural home is. As for improving your poker here, every now and then we have a poker related thread, don't worry it doesn't last long  ;D

Rumour has it neither does Robert!  lol

Can't remember  :(

Was looking through this thread for something and stumbled across a black ginger post!!!!!! ZZZZOMG!

OMG you stalker! lol

It shocked you that much that you felt the need to pull it up..... sigh, neverends.

Anyway, the tags are in the post to change it, I just mucked it up. So it's only sort of not purple.  ;shame;
