blonde poker forum

Hi folks, just a quick heads-up to let you know that your blonde live update team (Floppy, Jen and myself) are heading over to Vegas in dribs and drabs in preparation for our first live update of the World Series, the star-studded $50,000 H.O.R.S.E Event.

With all the different games, various famous faces, and huge spondoolies up for grabs, this one should be jolly good fun, and we'll do our best to supplement the update with hilarious (cough) anecdotes, quotes and even the odd norkage pic. In fact, if you're good and support the update with your presence, I'll personally guarantee the norkage.

Keep an eye on the Live Update board (link below) for the updates which will be starting Sun 24th Jun and climaxing on the 28th.

Toodle pip! ;snoopy;

Have to say top work on the wsop results section, great as you say not having to search thru long lists.

Yup, top marks to snoops, they are perfect, easy to find Locals, names & blondes..

Cheers, I have a contact at WSOP in Nolan Dolla (some of you may recognise them) who sends them through. He's a great help and does whatever he can to get the official list through as soon as he can, not to mention the cool piccies we've been receiving. So thanks to him. Might be a bit a delay whilst I'm heading over the Atlantic, but all the hotels have wifi these days, so I should be able to keep up to speed.

About time we had a Brit win tho! My spider senses inform me that the HORSE Event won't be the one.

By the way, does anyone know if any Brits are playing this one?

Snoopy,
IIRC from last year there were three Brits in the field - DevilFish, Ram and Nick Gibson (i think), can't remember if Ben Roberts played, Roland didn't. Can't see it being any different this year tbh.

How many runners will this $50K HORSE event attract this year ?

100, 200 ? Somewhere in between would be my guess.

I can't remember - think it was around 150 or something.

There were 143 last year, tbh I think the numbers will rise this year.

Factors that say it'll go up:

- It's now in its second year, and players can see how much attention it got last year
- It's getting more air time from ESPN this year
- It'll be played as H.O.R.S.E to the end
- H.O.R.S.E is now more popular online so may get some internet kids buying in (e.g Bodogari)
- They're running $2500 sats to it at the Rio (they did last year too) no idea if these are generating seats though
- It's a five day event (this could be a negative too)

Factors that say it'll go down:

- Poker Rooms less likely to give sponosred players 50k to spunk in one tournament given current climate (will backers?)
- Last year there were a number of online qualifiers, who qualified on Full Tilt, they've ran qualifiers again this year, but if they chuck 50k into your account are you going to enter the h.o.r.s.e tournament or keep the cash/spend it on a bunch of tournaments?
