Mods aka Tikay, any chance of having a fixed topic re: sat's for main tournaments so we can tip eachother of about what the various sites are offering at any given time.

Great idea diceman, we will see if we can sort this. And it does make a lot of sense.

It seems that blondeites all over the UK were busy playing in, & indeed winning, internet qualifiers last weekend. And what better way to spend Saturday & Sunday evening than hopping back & forth between playing an internet qualifier, & following a Live Update on blonde!

Maybe we could even persuade one or two of the online card rooms to hold their qualifiers on Saturday & Sunday evenings to coincide with the Live Updates. And we could get you folks, who are playing in the quallies, to keep us updated as to how you are doing....

Now THAT's a thought.......

Now, mel (londonpokergirl). Roy The Boy? At it merchant. Good reader of the game. Aggressive. See the flop, bet the flop. Proper at it merchant.

there's also one of the betfair forumites in that heat, who claims some previous with roytheboy - comments "he does love to push a draw". should be a fascnating heat.

poor old ariston has landed the toughest of the two betfair poker heats but he's still a big price at 6.0 on the betfair exchange IMHO


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: tikay on April 12, 2005, 04:12:49 PM
Should that read 60.0 ruru? Almost value at that price.


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: Ruru on April 12, 2005, 04:22:40 PM
sorry yes, 60.2+ is touching value about the big man ;D

Hehe, I LOVE IT......

How many more posts til I'm no longer a 'newbie'?


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: tikay on April 12, 2005, 04:39:29 PM
Hehe, good question!

The "newbie/full member" thing on our Forum is automatically generated by the forum software I believe, though Ironside would probably know the answer better than me.

But from what i can see, you become a "Junior Member (even worse!) after 50 posts, and a Full Member after 100 posts.


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: tikay on April 12, 2005, 04:41:40 PM
And I have just noticed I am a "Hero", ("SAD ******* more like) guess that's after 500 posts or summat.

Get posting, that's the answer!


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: Ruru on April 12, 2005, 04:48:48 PM
Well I'd best get motoring then!

If you can get 5.0+ on Bengt in his heat it's cracking value. If only the market believed that ariston wasn't the dog in the field the Swede's price might ease a bit more  ;D

Trying to get a photo uploaded as well - does it have to be hosted on a website somewhere or can I just upload it from disk?


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: Ruru on April 12, 2005, 04:57:24 PM
scrap that last question - just tracked back to find the answer on a much earlier thread.

At this rate, I'll be a junior member by the end of the day.


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: Ruru on April 12, 2005, 04:59:34 PM
what a dreadful photo! will have to take that down until I find a better one!


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: Ruru on April 12, 2005, 05:04:34 PM
There we go - until I get a better one of myself, a stylish Mr. Tann can act as my stand-in


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: tikay on April 12, 2005, 05:57:06 PM
Bengt v Ariston? Oops.

 But this is national pride, & I am afraid that even tikay is gonna have to go with Ariston in this case.

He can have an evening at Notts to brush up on his game if he wants, Thewy, Greg, Nik, Jim, Rob & the boys are here to help.....

Like the pic too ruru. Reminds me of Reservoir Dogs, don't know why. Maybe it was taken when Wilie was younger. As opposed to older......

well spotted tikay - the whole theme is Reservoir Dogs - have a look at http://www.betfairpoker6.com to see more pics from the shoot.


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: tikay on April 12, 2005, 06:04:01 PM
Doh! Tikay a bit slow I guess!

But nice marketing ploy, it clearly works with all except the old & infirm.......

have any odds gone up for me on there ?  might have a quid ;)/

Where can Ifind a list of  the heats and dates  please.


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: ariston on April 13, 2005, 10:48:34 AM
Cheers for the support Tikay and ruru. I actualy think mine is the easier of the 2 betfair heats. I have played a bit with Buzzer and managed to watch Bengt play a heads up match for about 7 hours quite recently (picked up some usefull stuff I can tell you- beware bengt  ;) ). Bob coombes as we all know is a very well respected player but I would rather play in a heat like this than one with 4 unknown players. Obviously heat one looks like a fight between Mr Tann and Mr Black (they even have resevoir dogs type names!) but the 4 internet players will prove tricky I am sure. I notice on my heat the only bets matched so far have been on me yet Bengt is rightly the favourite for the heat(shrewd layers there). I will be backing myself so the 6.0 will not be there after the weekend (when I get home and onto my lovely PC instead of this firewalled library peice of ....). Hope to put on a decent show for you guys, I have a cunning plan  ;D ;D ;D

Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: Ruru on April 13, 2005, 02:38:12 PM
I might take all that 6.0 before you then ariston and lay you 5.8 when you get home  ;D

I don't think Mr. Black will be good enough to be honest. Two of the "unknowns" are multiple satellite winners on Betfair so you've got to respect them. Still, I'll stick my neck out for Willie and have a few quid on the old master!

See jac arama lasted a less than gross 12 hands in his heat  :-X ::)

yeah he seemed to hit the self destruct button


Title: Re: British Poker Open
Post by: Ruru on April 14, 2005, 09:45:41 AM
I seem to carry about 10 of those buttons around with me :'(

Post by: Ruru on April 14, 2005, 02:07:11 PM
Bob Coombes is definitely slight favourite in his BPO heat on Betfair:

Bengt Sonnert 4.8
Thomas "Buzzer" Bihl 4.8
Russell "ariston" Cawley 6.0
Bob "sixpac" Coombes 4.5
Peter Abela 6.0
Robert Burnside 6.0
