blonde poker forum

I am attaching a poll to this thread, we are initially looking to have 4 cash tables open 24/7 so that whenever anyone fancies an in house game we can offer our own tables.

Now we just need some feedback on levels/games etc ... I will put up a list and you can vote for your top 4.

any suggestions that arent on the list that you would like added, please feel free to post them here and I will add them to the poll.

We want to get this right and give the majority what they want from the cardroom... voting closes midnight Sunday as i want to get moving on this first thing Monday.

1c/2c NHLE sorry havent had much time on the tables and my roll is still at that level

I WILL play some poker soon I PROMISE

1banana/2banana NLHE?

 ;pokergods;

honest answer - you think i'm sitting down with you sharks at a cash table? ;)

.50c/$1 NLHE?

ADDED

IGNORED ;)

FWIW, any time I'm at home, Online, I'll sit it in on any bpc Cash Game if invited.

If I run short of Cash, or need some money for a holiday, I'll invite Flushy across to bpc for some Heads Up with me.

have you seen how popular those 1/2c and 2/4c tables are

Tip for you guys.

If there is a R, a RR all-in, and 4 more "call all-in"s, & Suffolk Punch enters the Pot by CALLING for a large part of his stack, he's got a big hand. Like 4-4.

wheres the limit tables ???

seiously - nice to see some PL options. TK will be pleased . (see some people do read your articles...)


EDIT - just noticed the PL tables are all omaha :(

The one in Inside Poker? Jeez, I am expecting some SERIOUS grief for that! I did kinda go off on one, I admit. I sort wanted to stir the pot, create some debate, & I'll think it'll do that..... ;hide;

Not sure if you want comments as well, or if they may have already gone somewhere else... Anyway, I voted for a range of games (NL, PLO and PLO8) at a low level, 10/20c. I think this is a great idea. But for it to work well I think it's going to need to be accessible to as many players as possible. Whatever level you put it at is always going to be relative chicken feed to some Blonde players, and I imagaine the games might often be livelier than your average internet cash game... Which is probably fine for most people at a low level, but may be off-putting at anything more substantial. I can't imagine I'd choose to play at my normal level of $0.50/1 with a load of people who normally play $2/4 and higher, for example. If you keep the stakes relatively low it allows people to have a bit of fun, try out new styles, discuss hands openly etc without fear of it costing them too big a chunk of their bankroll. Cheers, looking forward to it.

Constructive comments are always welcome, thanks Moskvich

Is that bad?

We all thought it was rather good, actually......You were up against 9 Overcards & 4 overpairs. One guy had AK & the flop came Q-J-T......

Playing online he's still only a 40-60 underdog...............

 ;whistle;

so he was lucky then?

 :D

He was not Online, it was a Live Game......on the "money Bubble".......and 3 players all Busted in the same coup.....

the problem i would have at playing bigger than 10/20 cent is that no matter what the level the games are going to be harder than most games on the net so why play a 1/2$ game against good players when you can play much easier games on the network tables

i think the idea of the blonde only games is to have a friendly game with friends where you can wind each other up without looking like a pompus arse

sorry, my bad.

i just saw that the worst hand won and assumed it must have been online ;)

How about 25c/50c PLO?

So just vote for your preference then Jesus, it isnt supposed to be a mensa test. ;)

i have voted you plonker

ADDED

Can I have another vote?

ermm no soz ... :)

LMAO!! Iron, this may well be the only pompus post you have ever made.

He's right though.

just so red can be proved wrong


I ALWAYS AM RIGHT

He's only half right.

If you go too low then the stakes are meaningless for many players, they either won't play or they won't play 'properly'.

Well, of course he's never completely right.

Agreed - if the stakes are too low, it becomes the same as a play money game.  However, with the range of bankrolls on Blonde there'd have to be games across all levels to suit all players.  Is there a problem with having games available at all the different levels, and letting demand determine which ones are used?

4 tables is a good starting point.

Proberly

It's certainly better than 0.  But, if for argument's sake we have 4 25c/50c tables - and they don't appeal to the players with a larger bankroll, then these players are never going to play the Blonde-only cash tables.  On the other side of this, if the tables are all $1/$2, then a lot of the people with smaller bankrolls will not play.

Is it possible to cover holdem, omaha and omaha hi-lo across the different levels with only four tables?

Yes, when i play, i play for a giggle (some of you may have noticed!)

I voted for 10/20c NLHE - 10/20c PL Omaha - 10/20c PL Omaha HiLo and 1/2 PL Omaha.

The general idea is to have 4 tables and see how they get used etc etc ...  This will also help us in running little private comps ... along the idea of perhaps added prizes to comps etc, where we might award the top 10 in a comp all $20 and they all sit at a cash table for a winner takes all cash session, or a timed game etc ... the ideas are endless, but I am just focussing on the levels of the tables at this moment in time.

Who is arguing for 4 tables at the same stake?

No one.  But with only 4 tables, and three games (NLHE, PLO, Hi-lo), you're not going to get more than one level for two of those games.

If you're trialling 4 tables for starters, I'd suggest it might be a good idea to have one each of NLHE and PLO at 10c/20c and one each at $1/$2 .... see how it goes.

Aye, drop the hi/lo. Perhaps make the Omaha slightly cheaper than the NLH.

25c/50c and $1/2 Holdem.

10c/20c and 50c/$1 Omaha.

Summat like that...

super idea - keep it small to make it inclusive as well as exclusive.

10c/20c sounds about right.

will people be able to reload if they go broke?

maybe a PLHE cash table too

Can't see why not, they will be the same as any other tables, only difference you will have the pleasure knowing it was a fellow blonde who now has your buy in in front of them. Gives you a kind of warm feeling inside, doesn't it?

Dunno does it? ;hide;

is it possible for a $5 10 man blonde exclussive stt table to be added aswell???

Would be great just to have us lot in the ones we play on here at night!

Nah

That would be good BUT not sure if it would be a great idea, we may have to wait for a 10th player for a while. I would suggest, please Kev, a 6 seater STT table or 2

gd point but an extra request kev, is it possible to get a $5 HU table aswell as its a nightmare trying to get me and the biggest fish i know (claw aka the marlin) in the same game without having to play some frog or kraut who registers first!

A few of us went on 2c/4c NLHE the other night,we had a great time,but maybe this is to low for most as it hasnt even made the hit list

That's what I was looking for, but I am as fishy as hell on cash.

I wouldve thought the added competition from being amongst blondes would kind of substitute for the lower stakes than usual, meaning you may as well make it more accessible to all players. I think one 1/2 or 2/4 for those who only want higher limits, and then 3 lower .25/50 games maybe covering the range of games so everyone can play would be a nice setup.

i will have revenge soon tikay, lol

Ready when you are. Bagsy I get to choose my Seat.

;iagree;

The great thing about this debate is it allows Kev to guage interest. Once the tables start we can add tables or change tables in time. We just wanted to get things started.
