blonde poker forum

I'm registered and on my way to Waterford.

Word on the street, there may be over 500 runners............................a split day one, thurs/friday is not being ruled out.

i am planning the saturday/sunday just trying to work out the best way to get there

i was going to fly to dublin i have now found this isnt the best way as its 2 hours away and the taxi will be expensive

so looking at 2 flights via either luton or manachester or birmingham

Just having a nosey for flights, only one i can see that goes direct is from Luton on Aer Arran about £70 return.

anyone found any others ?

Aer Arran from Birmingham and Manchester too

Another option is gatwick to cork and drive from there - I've done the journey before and it's less than two hours from there. As I live near Gatwick this is the way I have generally gone as you can get from Gatwick to Cork on Ryan Air.

By the way, I'm registerd too  :)up

just tried to get my car on the flight to dublin ryan air told me it was over the weight limit

so it looks like aberdeen to luton luton to waterford

or aberdeen to dublin train to waterford

I'm a little confused! No change there but....
Is Big Slick Poker a poker club who is having a big competition in hotel to cope with numbers, or a group that organises events in different venues?!! If it also has a club is that in the same Waterford placey?

Big Slick have their own premises in Carlow, and they also are an events organiser for festivals and events all over Eire

Does it have a car park of its own, where you can park overnight?

Any ideas what time the main event will finish on the Sunday?

Yes ... and i also know what colour socks the winner will be wearing and I also know exactly how many chips the local McDonalds put in each portion .... but these are trade secrets. ;)

3.46:57 am

Last bus though leaves at 3:45:21 am

Unlucky!

12










chips in a small portion

For info I will be wearing Blue socks.
 ;whistle;

Main Event Finished at about 11pm in the last event in Waterford ... The Hotel Has Plenty of Car Space to Park Overnight for Free and is in a safe Location ...

Thanks.
 :)up

... and the same from me

when do the sats start on blonde?...and (because I'm slow) what will they be called?

Hi all,

Just to let you know... you can also get the ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare. Waterford is an hour,s drive from the ferry.    Blonde are also trying to arrange not only for Sat's for these events but for folks to be able to buy in directly to the event on the site. This should make things easy for all.  Kev I think you should do Sat's for more than the main event .... you lazy git.

sounds really good,what at the sats likely to be ? $100? $200?

and yeah have them for all events :)

Yes THANK YOU DENIS !!

Can you arrange for the amount of hours in a day to be increased from 24 to 30 ??

I fully expect to be running sats for the main event and depending on demand ...MAYBE... a side event.

On Monday I hopefully will have all the info I need to start planning the sats ... Maybe one in august and one in september with feeders to both.

Maybe more if the demand is there.

300 PLAYERS MAX ALLOWED /Alternates Will come in after This ...

It's good to see so many people supported such a well structured event.

Big Slick on behalf of blonde have done a hotel deal withThe Ramada Viking Hotel, for the weekend it is €50 pps room only or €55 pps B+B, with a Supplement of €20 for single rooms making it €75 per single.

Please Contact the Hotel using the booking Reference or Code 25024 

Please say you are at the blonde Waterford Poker Festival. The details are below, please note 7 rooms have filled already and only  40 are pre-booked. Please do not leave it to late to book as the hotels in Waterford are in peak season for hen nights and weekends away and fill fast ..

The hotel is located on the Cork Road and is 5 minutes from both the City centre and the Woodlands Hotel ... Taxis will be about €6-€7 to the city or the woodlands.


Please note if you are booking through Big Slick you must let them know if you are staying the 3 nights or two because it cannot be changed after it is booked, as it oftens happens with poker events that players get knocked out and do not stay on for the full 3 days .. They will be charging for the full 3 days if you pre-book now as they would be full anyhow ....

Are there now going to be two day ones, or are everyone over the 300 alternates ?

one day one still. back in a bit with the extra info

"Capacity is 320 with 32 tables but we have satellite tickets included : 30 super sat and 10 Blazing aces club so players who are registered will fill those seats with less satellite capacity from now
 
I will be doing alternates for the first 3 levels with a full starting stack"

is the answer

So if I'm on the list I'm playing and not as an alternate?

Sounds like it

i wouldnt have asked if it sounded like it - I would have known......the post wasn't explicit.

The post was the answer I received

neill_kelly@hotmail.com for direct player queries

Tighty - I have sent the following email - lets hope it gets some specifics!


Hi Neill - can you please confirm that if I have pre-registered as a player i am playing?
 
Bit concerned that the tournament has been over subscribed and that alternates are already planned - I have booked a flight and dont want to turn up and find I am playing as an alternate and may not even get a game.
 
Please confirm what the official situation is on player numbers, sattelites entries already allocated but not won yet and alternates please.
 
Many thanks
 
Tracey Dell
 

Thet ;) dont just let anyone in to Ireland you know ;)  you have to drink Guinness

Tracey

Please let me know as well. thanks

Dewi, my flight to Dublin was CHEAPER than the disgracefull charge on the bridge to get into Wales!!! (and thats with fees and taxes included!)

Well alright, almost.  Flights (return) total £11.98 inc all fees and taxes.

Can I point out the charge is for leaving england not for entering wales, and if you ask me it's very good value :D

A very quick answer from Ireland so thankyou Neill for that  - answer is as follows:

U are a listed player Tracey and once this is paid for 2 hours before play u will be seated . The list is full but we always get no shows , I will make sure u will be seated u have my word on that all travelling uk players will be looked after . The Listed players have up until 5.30pm on the Friday to pay for the seat and after that the seats become released to those who have not pre-registered
 
I can assure u 100% that your seat is guaranteed from this point ,

So if you're not a travelling Uk player and you get bumped......?! Lie!

Hi All ,


Just to confirm that all pre registerred names are guaranteed seats if they are paid for by 5.30 pm which is 2 hours before play . We have a contact number for the registration desk which can be used for our travelling UK and european players which is 00353877727307 . If by some chance that flights and traffic hold you up please be assured we will assist u in anyway possible and hold the seat if u call the Registration desk and explain your situation .

The list stands at 340 with capacity of 320-330 . We always allow for no shows and Super sats which take up 50 seats , Pre registerred players will take some sat tickets whcih will obviously free up seats

After this we will have alternates in place for the first 3 levels of play only and all players start with no penalty and a full starting stack , If u require further info please feel free to contact me directly at neill_kelly@hotmail.com

i have never had any intention of playing the main event due to the fact its 3 days not 2

i was planning on playing some smaller events but due to winning a seat to the virgin event and going to dtd
and a few other small problems i will no longer be attending the festival


so if you remove my name you can get an extra place

A book up for our first festival next week, the ranking event held in Ireland

Couldnt we all bunch together, throw all our money on one of us 225-1 shots, lock colclough, mason, kendall etc out of the building and clean paddypower out?

This is supposed to be a community after all  ;)

i reckon el blondie at 66/1 is a great each way bet, I'm gonna have a few quid each way on him plus the rookster at 100/1. Ericstoner doesnt give his chips away easy 150/1 worth a few quid as I can imagine the headlines now if he goes and wins it!!

Couldn't see a price for the Duke but apparently he's 1/7 to dring the hotel dry of guinness.

Looking forward to this, just 3 days at work to get through next week, then flying to waterford thursday morning.

 :)up

Before I lump on can anyone confirm Dave Colclough is definately playing this event.... best to check first eh!

don't bet yet, he would like to but isn't a definite.

Can you you get me a some 500/1 myself please ?

I'll have £20ew

ask Paddy P its their book

Rang Paddy Power tried to place two bets

1. On me to win -- (15 minutes of laughter on the phone)
2. They don't take bets on drinking competitions (DOH! my money was on Dewi)

Just to let the blondies know of a few good Irish players to watch out for:

1. Pat storan -- local Waterford chap (on some run at the moment)
2. Rob Taylor -- Solid
3. Nicky (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1228) Power (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1228) -- local favorite
4. Padraig (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=690) Parkinson (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=690) -- (if he stays off the guinness)
5. Roy (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=388) Brindley (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=388)
6. Sylvester Geoghan
7. Marty Smith (Irish Open Winner 2007)
8. Llyod O Farrell
9. Kp Nuts Ken (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1081) Powell (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1081)
10. Connie O Sullivan
11. John Ward (last winner in waterford)
12. Colin Fardy (local Player)

Can anybody tell me of any GOOD English players to watch out, just to let the Irish folks know????

No!

 ;D

p.s If I enter a pot and scratch my nose, fold.

Thank you

I will pass that on you all the players at your table!!!!!!


Thats if you last that long......

I'm pretty crap, you can tell them all that, I only play aces and kings

Dave you could be ok then because of the genourous structure you will proabley not get blinded out till late in day 2
 
Aspades Ahrt
 Ks Kh

That reminds me.......I must bring my pillow for  day 1............just had a bet on Paul Garnham

To the best of my knowledge, Dave Colclough is "doubtful" to play this now, I'm sorry to say. I'd suggest not haviing a punt on him until his attendance is confirmed.

You already have a €500 (/€550) bet on yourself to win  :dontask:

Dave's made day 2 here at the GUKPT...sorry guys!
