blonde poker forum

please keep the banter to this thread for the benifit of members looking for teams and mods trying to keep the team lists together

Will there be a book running on this again?

dont ask me i cant read

oh pants.  I've already booked my train back from Cardiff on Sunday afternoon.

time to get it changed..!!

Why should that cause you a problem?  You don't think you're going to luckbox it again do you?

I need to head home after the quiz.  It's only fair I suppose to give someone else a chance......

Colchester Kev (Captain)
Rookie (Mug)
Turny (itb)
Ling (Skrikera)
Ginger (last minute addition to winning team)


Still dont despair good people of blonde, second place is still up for grabs ;)

Team Chorlton still has myself as a member - and luckboxing is my speciality :)

I'd qualify as well then :)up

Seeing as it will be unlikely I can attend, can I rely on you to carry on the unique "Out of Turn, Checking in the Dark" ?

I expect I'll need a team.

The term is 'power-checking' I believe.

My team will play...

We've obviously got a bit of a waiting list to join after last years (almost) success, so can we put two teams in?! :)

Luckboxes I and Luckboxes II ?

im quite happy to run a book again once all teams have been finalised

Can we bet in fruit?  I'm gutted I missed you turning up with all the bananas :D

Still laughing about it though :D

YOU'RE GUTTED?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :'(

lol  no your only allowed to use your local currency to place a wager.

thats why i accept matts bets in bananas.

(yes KP you can bet in sheep!) ;nana;

LOL If KP bets in sheep and I'm playing him, I'm throwing the match, that I have to see  rotflmfao

Im in, 10 border leicesters on the charlottle church choir please.

I take it i am to try and get the choir back together for the home nation?? Will send pms to the the bb4 squad.

Sorry fella.  Gone and joined a winning team this time round.  You'll have to get a genuine Welshman to replace me.

Seen your team Kin, what a line up!

Indeed it is, just checking you are fit to carry on my mantle.....

Anyone taking bets? A tenner to win please :-)

I'll carry on, you're mental. 

OUR team sir, our team.

Think I'll post it on here so others can comment on it's pedigree and class.



Team:  ;tightend;  Beauty & the Beasts

• Kinboshi - Captain  - makes up for lack of skill an experience with enthusiasm and sheer luck
  ;djinn;
• Robert HM - Legal Eagle - the sharpest legal mind, and the sharpest jumpers 
  ;nemesis;
• Red-Dog - Yorkshire's finest - Experienced, unflappable, respected, drives a Ferrari 308 GTS 
  ;hattip;
• Tikay - Legend - Ranked No.1 in the world and beat Moses in a best out of 9 HU tournament - twice   
  ;tk;
• Chili - Femme fatale - top player, feared and admired by all, token female in the team
  ;whistle;

And I see you have a team to carry you....

Absolutely.  A successful captain surrounds himself with a great team.

what time do you anticipate the HU finishing?  Humour me for a minute and imagine that team chorlton might be victorious again.  Will I be able to make my train at 18.25?

we hope the HU will be finished by 5pm so the cardroom can run there normal comp

remember we should be able to get most of the games running at same time

there is only going to be a max of 4 games each and we arent talking WHUC deep stacks

I think the final game last time was close on an hour though....  I'll take my chances though - Team Chorlton ftw!

...or WHUC standard.

well, not from you anyways ;)

More like WHUFC standard.

isn't that the Jelly wrestling thing? .*shudders*

uh oh have lost 2 members of the charlotte church choir at least with kin and ripple out.

Still awaiting back on DC and rudders but have a horrible feeling DC might be forming a D-T-D team this yr so the choir may not be singing in the valleys :(

And coz kin has jumped ship (traitor) into a team with tikay of all ppl for gods sake, i am offering a 2 pound bounty, yes you read right, a whole 200 pence!or a beverage, whichever is prefferred to every player that beats him in the HU comp!
(which will hopefully be only one drink as they wont get past the first round)

You never know, Geo might get lucky and fluke a win ;)

BTW..are there any rules against betting on your opponent?..just wondering

I am in the process of putting together an elite team. Just thought you should know

you sending me a PM then.....? ;whistle;

Your currently 78th reserve, one ahead of Ironside.  ;nana;

Ahead!!! U sure?

excuse me how many of you can say you have beaten me HU ?

and how many of you have got a lovely sparkly trophy from last year? :D

i cant help it if its a team comp and my mugs just arent up to my standard

I was defending you!!!!

And p.s. I beat you at heads up in BB4, at £5 1card 2 card hold em!

you could always apply to join the winning team this year....

lol no you weren't, you were just having a dig at me! :D

I didn't ;hide;

Team Bhoy * final name to be confirmed

will be playing and we havent finalised numbers

So any volunteers,pm me

as for any previous experience

at the last online HU tourney Tikay went to school on me and well.....got lucky..lol and done me 2- nil

after a year of training im pumped like rambo's biceps at the opporchancity of taking mr T down a peg or 2....

pm's in an orderly manner plz

that was just an added bonus x



F*** that was funny, still makes me laugh to think about!

i had to give you all 2 cards to my 1 card as no one would play me otherwise

i am just that good

currently the plan is that i will not play in the HU this year

as i will be organising alot of it and making the draw

it could change on the day if people drop out though

the funniest thing was the guy who called all the way with the virtual nuts as there was no straight or flush possible for me and he had top pair with a weak kicker

his i was worried about my kick was so funny as i didnt have a kicker to play

was that not horneris lol?

sorry guys please remove team ITB from the heads up comp as there is a county pool match on the sunday so most of the team will be travelling back sunday morning.

didnt see the comp had been moved to sunday! whose silly idea was that? cant see us making 16 teams like last time because of day swap

Have to agree...if the HU is to be held on the sunday...very difficult day for most..if i can make the bash, sunday afters would be a no go 4 me too.

Looks like the youths can't make the sunday something about shift down t'mine  :dontask:

so i am selling myself to the lowest bidder.. ;fishing;

more than welcome in the choir.

Speak for yerself!  I reckon we'll be ok...gotta think POSITIVE!!!  At the very least, we'll have a laugh getting crushed.  lol

See what you've done Kin, you've got together such a strong team together that the others are running scared.

WOW didn't realise I was going that cheap, OK i'm in

I suspect it's more to do with the fact that Team Chorlton have announced our intentions to defend the title.....

Who?

Sunday is going to be tricky for my 'Gods of Poker' team too, but understand the reasoning behind holding it that day. Last time looked like an absolute nightmare for Kev to organise lol :)

That was the reasoning Matt - and it also gives those that go deep in the ME (whatever doing deep means - no rude comments) get a chance to play in the HU event.  There's not going to be a solution that suits everyone though.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/tc.jpg)

That was last time, I'm back

Claire - why are you standing in a hole?

I am a shortarse petite

imo my opinion the tournament has been devalued by switching it to sunday.

people come from all over the country for the event and have to leave early sunday as most have work to get to on monday.

yes it took alot of organising and at times was a nightmare last time but theres got to be a better way than transfering to sunday afternoon.
maybe each team should have 6 players to choose from so if a player is going deep in the main event team captains have a bigger squad to choose from.

personally i think that ironsides being a lazy b stard and doesnt want to put the work in kev and ginger did last time now hes in charge  ;nana;

What if they had 2 players go deep in the ME?

A number of teams did last time - and so reserves had to be drafted in.  It meant that some of the 'teams' weren't actually teams. I think it was a case of either abandoning the HU event or looking for an alternative solution this time.  It might be that the solution we've come up with isn't ideal - and we might have to try something else next time.

i new there would be one smart arse. ;)

i didnt say it would eradicate the problem just that it would ease it

if you had bigger squads they would all be part of the team thus nobody has to be drafted in

i still think its cos ironsides a lazy bstard lol

I understand your point - and whatever we'd decided would have been the right thing for some, and no good for others. 

On the bright side though, it frees up 10 minutes of your time on the Saturday night now... ;D

If you had teams of 5 you would only need the 5th if there needed to be a decider at 2-2.

ironside?.. sat on his arse all day! (x)

Alternatively the problem of going deep in the ME like I did at BB4 was not an issue as my heads up team kindly lost the first 3 matches not even giving me the opportunity to play :)

Snats, are team "Billy Good Mates" returning at BB5???

actaully running it on the sunday was not the option i came up with but it is the option that all the mods including myself support

it should finish early enough fo everyone to get home (if i run it right)

i resent the statement that i am a lazy barstward not willing to put in the effort

I think the Sunday thing is great..it ties me over untill the casinos own comp starts aswell..and it's an excuse not to fly out on Sunday :)

Just so we're clear btw..you resent the statement but can't fault it, right? ;)

Can people please tell me when I join a team lmao :tikay:

It helps because as most of you know - i'm very prone to  :blonde: and I need to organise my life - just a tad better.

BTW - thanks for the invite - am now off to learn how to play HU ;whistle;

iron please remove team itb from the tournament as the guys have got to head back sunday morning for a county pool match in essex

I knew this would happen.... as soon as my elite team was posted the excuses roll out. Fully expect to read team Lever have got the flu or something similar fairly soon.  rotflmfao

dont worry team lever will be there (well 80% of us as b4matt cannot make)


think u will see the itb pulled out on the other thread long before you got your shower together
 ;nana;

I wouldnt bother, last years winners didnt seem too!

god knows what that says about the rest of you then!

 ;noflopshomer; Think someone ought to warn elite poker I'm rubbish at heads-up, I'm usually so shocked to get that far I normally get excited and play with rubbish.  ;all-in; ;stickaforkinme; ;busted; ;booboo;

Oh well guess I'm relying on being a total luckbox  :dontask:

That's the idea flea, the old  "I'm rubbish at heads up" trick never fails.

 rotflmfao

Surely you must be aware of the controversy surrounding our exit from the BB4 HU Comp?!

ummm I think KP has exculsivity on that at the moment

 ;hide;

nah - I didn't pay any attention to the whinging coming from the direction of the losers lounge.

Give KP his due - he did participate in the Final and indeed in the marathon deciding game.

ok, so it was only as a dealer - but its a start!!

 ;whistle;

:goodpost: ;iagree;

How dare you!

On that one hand Kin id already obvously missed it 249 times so i was due!!!!

1 hand!  That was merely the cherry on the icing on the cake. 

I just had an interesting MTT on DtD.

I got to the final table as the short stack.

And I got to HU with a 7:1 chip deficit to my opponents enormous pile of virtual chips.

I'm sure I don't need to spell out who ended up winning the tournament ;D


Just thought it was worth a mention leading up to this HU tournament  ;whistle;

very subtle boast there mate ;) ...well done. :)
