Was this an invite only event?

Yes George, it was.

There was an open invitation on one of the shows to email in to fill the final places - it was first come, first served.

Gutted.... love playing at the broadway esp. with a full house (bad bad memories tho.....)

What's the buy in?

It's a £2,500 Freeroll mate.

There will be more, if tomorrow goes well. And it will!

My last experience on a packed broadway.... (see attached)

Maybe it's a good thing I'm not going

Is the Broadway part of a chain of casinos?  I've never been before but when I went to the Luton bB, the woman at the counter kind of moaned at me because I was a member of another Grosvenor casino.

No, it's an independent.

Lovely thank you Tikay :)

you guys are going to have a great time - wish I was going :(

You were invited Claire wern't you?..

Yep, but was already committed to playing at Stoke.  Sod's law that two things I really want to play come up at once (when I'm usually at home twiddling my thumbs!)

Good luck in Stoke Claire  :)up

Cheers Graham - good luck in Birmingham to you!

Tk I'm a live poker virgin, will you hold my hand please and show me what to do!

First player ever knocked out of a live APAT event George, seems like yesterday.  I hope you give the shirt a run out every now and again  :D

Ta very much :D

Are you going Maureen?  Who is going?  I know Ed is but that's it.  Oh Harmony is isnt' she, Bainn unsure.

Always the same...like buses ...

...and men....

No..I am going to Stoke but if i exit early doors may pop over for kisses..

Claire really....men arriving in two's ...whatever have you been up to..x

:D Lovely, for all or just a select few?

Good luck in Stoke too :)

blondes that I'm aware of, & can remember off the top of my head, include Harmony, Ed, Bainn (not playing), Compo (ditto), Norman Pace, Ed Giddens, & lods more.

lol - you know what's it's like, you have a dry patch and can't get a s** g for love nor money, then as soon as you settle down all the opportunities come up(so to speak)!  

[Was going to say something else, but self-edited on the grounds of decency :D]

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Just off to the airport now see you all in brum.

eek! At 5.40am!  *Shudders*

Thanksfully I'm only a couple of hours drive away!  Better leave half an hour for getting lost I suppose!

See you there.

You have a dry patch, then suddenly, there's a wet patch.

New keyboard please

For my first live event I really enjoyed myself.
All the blondes I spoke to were top blokes (plus tikay!). Grats to Bainn for being the highest placed bonde in 16th or so I believe, just outside of the money.
Hope to see some of you again the next time i venture out to that big room beyond the front door with a high blue ceiling and play a live event.

All in all a good weekend. Certainly better than what looked to be the most sour faced hen party I have ever seen!

Must congratulate Sky Poker for a great day of live poker at the Broadway Casino yesterday! Raj and the Broadway Casino team were excellent as usual, dealing with everything in a calm professional manner.  With Tikay at the helm supported by Norm, Ed and Compo with bounties on there heads, what more could a true poker player wish for! For many this was a daunting first time live event, but they rose to the occasion and contributed to a truly memorable day! It was great to meet up with APAT/Blondites Bainn & MickeyP, who as you can all imagine soon got onto the amber nectar! My special memories of the day are taking out Bainn, who was extremely short stacked-well done tho m8! Respect to Marco who gave me a tremendous heads up battle in this his first live event-WELL DONE! Also my wife Angela who, whenever i looked at her on the rail smiled and whispered 'YOU CAN DO IT!'.
We all love this game, but never ever forget the true value of the loved ones who believe in you, i certainly won't-thanks darling.
Well i suppose you guessed it, yes i won! An APAT/Blondite wins the 1st Sky Poker live tournament!

I would like to offer special thanks to everyone who offered there sincere congratulations and i hope to meet you all on the final table at the next Sky Poker live event!
So come on Sky-whens the next one!     

Well done Kevin, great result and well deserved for your consistency in APAT events throughout the season.  I'm sure it will not be too long before there is another Sky Poker event scheduled.

Cheers,

Des.

Yip well done kev a great performance.It was nice to meet your good lady as well.
And thanks to all the blondes for looking after me.I still think eck drinks to much though, but it did help us tear up the sit and go's.
   

Well played, was watching from the rail and think the winning hand was K-6 o/s beating pockets twos.
 ;applause;

Well, what a cracking day, the Sky chaps and Broadway did a grand job, Harmony and I really enjoyed it.

Was good to meet up with people we knew and people we had online met across the virtual felt, and a "Special" thank you to Eck, MickyP, Harmony, Silo and Foggy for your generous contribution in our last longer bet, hoping to catch up with Foggy soon.

I was proud to be wearing my team "Blonde Bandit" cap when I got so deep, we may get unlucky in HU, but we do well when it counts.....

Grats to Harmony and MickyP who were SNG champs of the evening and I think Ed got lucky in an Omaha SNG.

Nice work by Zukertort for taking down the main event, and as Eck reasoned, by being busted by him I actually came Second. (Nice one Eck!)

Hoping to get an invite for the next one.

Forgot to say well done to Harmony, nice win to finish the evening.

Yes, a great event for us all, well hosted by the Sky Poker crew and The Broadway staff. Great to meet up once more with Tikay, spiny and Compo and all their hard-work and entertainment they put in for us all at these events.

Also good to meet the production crew and thanks for treating us gently in interviews! (no worries - shall understand if they don't make the final edit!  It was a good experience, thanks!).

Likewise, so good to meet up with special Blondeite good friends once more (Ed, Silo Graham, Foggy, and especially Eck and MickeyP for their support), APAt members and to actually meet folk we have played on "The Open" for the first time.  Yet another brilliant poker community being nurtured. 

Well played, Bainn, coming 16th and being the winner of the Last longer Blonde wager. Very glad you were able to come with me in the end and to get on the reserve list.

Also congrats to MickyP and Ed for their successes in post-tourney games. 

Congrats to Zukertort on a great main event win.

GL to future Open Live events - hope we are able to attend some more of them.

Finally I really would like to thank Tikay and Sky for a really beautiful and highly scented bouquet which really cheered what has been a tough week. Lovely, kind thought - thank you so much. x

K 6 off - never loses (apart from in Stoke)

I think anyone who was at last nights event and didn't enjoy it has a serious problem. To Sky, Tikay, Norman, Ed, Compo, Andy Selzer and absolutely everyone who made it a night to remember i SAY THANK YOU, and thank you for my chocolates, although i'm on a diet for my wedding they were much appreicaited.

It was really nice to meet the people the and put names to faces/avatars, and to meet poeople from blonde aswell. I hope as well as promoting sky poker lots of new people will join blonde too.

One thing i'd like to mention to some of the ladies who maybe got a bit upset by some of the lads (who were young drunk and a bit ott language wise) is to expect this in drunken male company and try not too get put off poker by this.  It was sad to see a female player go all in with rubbish. just to get away from a player in a sit and go.  if u know who i am talking about or u are reading this message, the best way to deal with this, is to wait till u get the nuts and put them out of the game..  I hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment or put u off going to live games in the future. 

a great night

Terry

I'm very surprised that somebody did not shut the said person up. Young people who think they can behave as they like at the table need sorting out. They should be given a fifteen minute cooling off period and then kicked out the game if their behaviour does not improve. This is a great game and I for one will not let boorish behaviour go unchecked at a table........please join me in stamping it out. It is up to us the normal people to not stand idly by

 ;iagree;

Good to see Ed got some much needed TV coverage tonight, a picture from the event featuring Ed was shown on tonight's "The Open".

Mind you, I forgot to say, I had a number of people come up to me during the event, stating they had seen me on the show and enjoyed it.

No, I was knackered and went to sleep and missed it, must set the video up.  :D

As for the young person mentioned in the thread, he demanded ther Tournament Director give a  ruling in a £10 sit n go.  rotflmfao  I did explain to him that if he had been concentrating that he wouldn't have made such a basic mistake.

Not when I was with them. Only took 24 takes to get my piece right! Although the hen wasn't too impressed when I kept getting her fellas name wrong! oops.

Thanks for the tremendous feedback on the Birmingham Tournament. Thanks have to go to Tikay, who did most of the work setting it up, and to Norm and Ed for being there to play. We'll be talking very soon about where to hold the next one. Any suggestions?!

las vagas..........lol 




what about Edinburgh

Just like to echo the thanks to Sky Poker for putting on a great event.  It was good to meet up with the blondes again  and really nice to meet some new folks.  The whole day seemed in good spirit (thankfully I missed the 'SnG Incident) and I'll hopefully get the opportunity to take part in another event.

Thanks again.

Do not be modest, Silo, you did a great interview, and I am sure we will all enjoy it immensely.

lol  :D

It'll only make the out-takes at best :D

LOL

Oh and I won the next one after you had to go to your bed lightweight!!!

I would like to add my thanks also we had a cracking weekend, a good time on the saturday at the poker and an enjoyable day with the wee one at Drayton Manor on the sunday (although I was a little tired  ;D)

Just went a bit wrong at the end as we got an earlier flight and well sting by Flybe for the privelige and then found the car with a puncture and an alloy not wanting to come off at the airport. I know 50p! suppose it could have been worse could have been 10pm when we got to the car if we hadn't got the earlier flight.

Not sure about the next one, but a hearty reccomendation to hold a future event at "Dusk Till Dawn".

If it does, I will contact someone at Sky about getting the footage, then share on that U-Tube thingy....

I will have to thank you for that Bainn  ;nemesis;

Happy to embarrass help my friend.

Appologies for not paying my debt, consider it banked to be called off at our next meeting Bainn.

I made a hasty retreat after a suckout that took two thirds of my chips, then a big slick that didnt improve against 33.

The loose atmosphere of people willing to push with almost nothing, confirmed that the players are definately tha same players that enter the Open most evenings.

Having said that excellant afternoon and great to see everyone again, my biggest congratulations to Mickey P who was totally sober until I left the venue, to enter the APAT Japan Open. My rich vein of luck continued and I bounced out early in that!

Looking forward to meeting the Sky crew and Andy on the 7th July.

My suggestion would be Brighton. Where we have ;technolog;  and ;flushy;

My suggestion would be the G Casino in Luton because it is 10 minutes walk from my house!

Anywhere south of Birmingham would be great.  If I could be specific, Stanley Reading or the Western would be ideal, but anywhere really :D

(assuming I get a 2nd invite of course!)

My interview, very nervous as not been on the telly before "My favourite presenters on Sky are Norman pace, Ed Giddins etc"

Walks away and 5 mintes later remembers Tikay, oops
 ;marks;

lol

mine were Nick and Casper :D  Sorry everyone there !

Beg to differ - that's how i bubbled Apat!!! lmao

yeah - i'm going off it a bit too!

Appreciate the apology mate, no worries, sort it out next time.

We will be watching on the 7th, maybe an email will find it's way onto the show....

Thanks for the suggestions. Next tournament will be in three months or less. Venue t.b.c. but announcement probably week after next.

First player interviews will be on air from tonight.

Best wishes, Vic.

the weekend of the 22nd September is fine for me, sure you can work around my holiday pans.
Cheers.
 ;)

Just seen my interview on telly, I did mention Tikay! Phew.  :D

No problem mate.

Sorry cheers Bainn.
 :D
