Hello All,

Have been reading the forum for ages, since I read about it on the Camel's blog.  Don't actually play a lot to be honest but enjoy reading and watching etc (about poker before any blonde jokers decide to interject here!).  Only played a couple of my mates now defunct home games and a bit on my mates 'stars account. 
Have spent many a hour at work laughing at posts and now I've got my t'internet connection working at home decided it was about time I registered.  Regularly read other sites and forums but felt like this was the only one I could contribute to without getting flamed etc.

So now a couple of questions:
1. Am currently debating whether or not to get myself an account at Pokerstars, is it practical if I don't have broadband?  That may be a huigely stoopid question but I have no idea about computers.
 
2. Is anyone going to the Keepmobile Charity Tournament in Wokingham on Saturday?

Cheers
Mr F

Welcome Mr F.

1. Yes its practical, though most would prefer broadband due to occasional risks of disconnection on narrowband

2. No idea, but someone on here might, knowing Blonde

Hi Mr F,
               Broadband is the way to go; the risk of disconnection is small on narrowband but if it happens you can be sure it will happen when you are holding a monster hand

Saturday should be fun Mel Lofthouse is running it and she is very good Qh

Come over and say hello I will have the cap covered in football badges
 
I will let you guess the team

Here is some info sure Mel will be OK with me taking it from her site :redcard:

Just follow the link these games are great way to spend a saturday afternoon :ironside: (anything is better than shopping)

Dear Poker People

We are organising a charity Poker tournament on the 22nd October. We are trying to raise money to go towards a minibus for Keep Mobile, a local charity.

Keep Mobile is a voluntary organisation which was established in 1992 and registered as a charity through the Industrial & Provident Society in February 1993. Their mission is to help those in the Wokingham District and Bracknell Forest Borough Council areas unable to use ordinary transport to reach their destination, wherever that may be, and to have as much of an independent life as possible with regard to transport. Through a combination of fund-raising and grants Keep Mobile have a fleet of vehicles capable of transporting those in wheelchairs or who have difficulty in negotiating steps found on other forms of public transport. www.keepmobile.org.uk

We would be very grateful for any donations that we could auction at the freezeout. If you could come along and play at this event you would be more than welcome and that would be fantastic.

The tourney will start at 1pm at Keep Mobile Hall, 171 Evendons Lane, Wokingham, RG41 4EH.

To register for the tournament, details are on www.phatdogs.co.uk

Mel will be Tournament Director and Eugene will be playing.

Any donations can be sent to Phat Dogs c/o Lindsey Golightly, 59 Grovelands Road, Reading, Berkshire, RG30 2PN.

Kind Regards

Lindsey Golightly

Welcome Mr F,

Would just like to agree with other posts in respect of getting broadband for playing online poker on pokerstars. This was the only reason i moved from dial up to broadband as i was sick and tired of losing my connection at crucial times during tournaments. If you are just going to start of by using the play money ring games or play money tournaments then you'll probably be ok, if you start taking it seriously though broadband is a definate must have.

i hear this every season from spurs fans. they think its going to be their year every year. truth is they have a little run just at the start of the season then lose 6 on the trot and they are back into there mid table obscurity. all they then want to do is try and beat arsenal (which very rarely happens) kev, if tottenham finish above arsenal this season i will kiss your bare arse

I know I'm posting a bit late but I got told off for being on internet while my colleagues were working.  But she's gone to lunch now so here goes.

Tikay you make it too easy.  I was going to say that I hope I do know the blonde score already and how impressed I am that a man of you years has got to grip with modern technology.  Then you said you wanted details of the tournament.  May I refer you to this http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=1985.0
and also this
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?action=calendar

Age is certainly catching up with your memory mate.

Goonner, I will definitely look out for you mate, I will quite literally be the fish in the room.  The guy I'm travelling with will either be in a Liverpool top or more likely another semi finalist from the 2001 FA Cup, I leave you guys to figure that one out.

tikay you will never see it because there is no way tottenham will finish above us they have never finished in the top 6 since the premiership began i dont for one minuite think that i will be doing it ( god i hope not anyway :o)

?!?!?!?!?!?! He's only 37 - its only since he got to grips with the modern technology and helping run this site that made him appear older ;)

Probably right... but it gives all the rest of us a reason to cheer on Spurs now  :D

yeah it kinda makes the thought of letting them beat us after we took a 2-0 lead against them a few weeks back seem slightly more bearable

Mighty Chairboys is correct, the only League team other than Chelsea currently unbeaten in the league.

37!!!!!!!!!!!!  Didin't realise he was that ancient.

Whoops probably just turned the whole forum against me in only my third post!!

".... a man of your years...." WTF is THAT supposed to mean? (I used to know, but I forgot....).

Seriously, yes, I remembered, but I thought it may be a bright idea to ask again, to prompt a little more interest.

WHOOSH!

I use dial up for pokerstars sometimes and it works just fine. any more than two tables is dodgy though and you can't really run internet explorer at the same time (without lag).
just have more than one pay as you go dial up account with differant companies in case of a disconnect.

Hi zelda, welcome to blonde.

A girlie? Whahoo

A Villa supporter - boo


Title: Re: dont be shy

In fasct. You get 5 house points for being a girlie, but lose 10 for supporting Villa.

So I think thats a Yellow Card.
