blonde poker forum

I've sent out an event invite on facebook, but for those that aren't on there, here's a reminder :)

Don't miss it!!! It's totally awesome :)

Also featuring the talented Liv Boeree, Shannon (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1127) Elizabeth (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1127) and Danielle Lloyd.

facebook the spammers dream

who is shannon and danielle?

ar they blondes?

Shannon was in American Pie, and is also a good poker player. She finished 2nd in a major Heads Up tourney in the USA recently.
Danielle is famous for dating Teddy Sherringham and for being on Celebrity Big Brother.

none the wiser

And isn't that Danielle person not better known for being a racist rather than anything else?

Does this help?

No, as that's Shannon Doherty you've posted. Not Shannon Elizabeth. Nice pic though ;)

it is sky +'ed. Looking forward to it! Good Luck Maria!

not had a lap dance or date or poker game with any of them so still none the wiser

I don't know what you mean??? ;joestrummer;

lol :)

have a good un Chilli.

I gather Shannon is a fairly good player.  Not sure about Danielle, but I doubt whether she'd have been playing in this if she was average looking!

Will be watching for Chili though!

see you have edited your post now matt

i believe liv boree is a blonde

she was going to be playing footy at bB5 but had to pull out

I told my sister we have to put channel 5 on in a bit so I can watch Maria play poker. Her response-

'You won't see much of her anyway, you'll only see her hands'

this wasn't a great attempt at a pun, she seriously  believes that televised poker has people with most of their bodies concealed and just their hands waving around

Watch out for the Ace Jack hand (played in a most bizarre way pre-flop) if they show it. Totally nutso imo.

Maria looks amazing!




Oops! Wrong channel. this is the the 64 stone woman.

:D

First hand and Jac Arama's wife just checks the nuts on the river..

Aarrgh!!

how do some of these people get into these games?  Do they not know how to play?

lol nice first hand.

Go Chili!

Lol,

face - hit - deck

WP the A6 hand maria. (Never seen so much oestrogen flying about.)

"Point is you've got King high Danielle" - cool commenty from Shelley Rubenstein there :) I wonder if Maria is as harsh when it's her turn to commentate :)

btw, ignore the Ace Jack hand I mentioned above. That must have been Jen's heat. Doh!

Brilliant the female commentator says "i'd call and trap", "Jesse says isn't that a dangerous board?"
"yes i'd raise 3 times the bet"
LOL

Is this the semi final ?

newsflash
The cat is sat directly in front of the telly watching intently.

Never done that before, must be the fish :D

There was no semi final in this comp. Just heats and then the final.

This is the 4th of 6 heats I think.

Matt


are some of the Ladies put in by the Organisers or do all players have to stump up (sponsored or not)?

So basically there are 6 semis and a final?

I did ask, but to be honest I can't remember the answer (if they indeed did give me one).. But, I think we can be pretty sure that players like Danielle Lloyd etc are put in for free. Infact, probably all the players in the Celeb Heat are put in for free and those in the other heats have to buy-in direct (themselves or through a sponsor)

Could call it that I guess. They officially call the first six games "The Heats" and the final "The Final".

thank you

if that is the case, doesn't this make a mockery of the event?

or would the viewing figures of the celeb heat comfortably exceed the figures of the "sensible" heats by the more talented players to justify this in terms of greater ad fees?

I think almost all Matchroom events have a Celebrity Heat. Maybe even Poker Million, though I'm not 100% sure on that. The European Open, World Open, UK Open (and whatever other open you can think of) all have Celeb heats though.

The Celeb heat is like a preliminary qualifying round. The winner of this goes into the Heats proper. So, in this event, for a Celeb to win the whole thing they have to win 3 games. The non-celebs have to win just 2 games to win the whole thing.

Aha, so why is Danielle Lloyd in this heat and not the Celeb heat?.. She didn't win the Celeb heat (that was won by Kara Scott)...

I'm pretty sure she would have been put in to this heat for free though. Though that seems a little unfair on the other Celebs who had to battle through another game.

Yes the Poker Million has a celeb heat

I just think its slightly strange in general to have celeb heats...the programmes generally go out late where casual viewers are going to be in short supply and most viewers are going to want to see talented players not just some actor/model/whatever

If we want to see that we can watch celebrity poker either from the US or various UK formats

with only 6 heats, I think it would add more credibility to a Matchroom event to attract the best possible eligible talent (in this case female) rather than waste 6 (albeit preliminary) spots on beginners and no-hopers

Aye, kind of agree, though one player in the Celeb Heat was Kara Scott - imo a pretty talented player.

although Helen Chamberlain and Matthew Stevens would disagree with me, but both were coached to a high level by Marty Wilson before and after their success

My point refers to those celebs who have not had that coaching

accepted, I refer to the "Danielle Lloyd" type celeb not the celebs who can play to a good standard (they are vastly outnumbered in these line ups)

Getting really exciting!! :)

Come on Maria - you can do it!!! :)

Yahooooo!! What a game :) Well played Maria :)

Also, really well played to Liv. A great game from both players :)

How have they not noticed that there was a bloke playing?  ;) 8)

wooohoooo

nice one Maria and WP Liv too

i thought this was ladies only how did chilli get in

WP Maria   :respect:

well played that man!

onto the final...good luck  ;whistle;

I know I may get shot down in flames for non poker non PC comment but..... but there are a couple of so called lookers there that are just sooooooooo put in the shade by Chili...what a natural beauty and talent.

VWP Maria!

Cool and confident all the way. Great to see you so relaxed in front of the camera. Natural Star!  ;applause;

Totally stoked with the way Maria played. Did me and my company proud. Maximum airtime for that awesome logo :)

Thanks Maria :)

Really looking foward to Maria's commentary debut next week (I'll post the usual facebook and blonde posts to remind people) and Jen's heat the week after, and the final too of course!

well played that man,...oops I mean lady.

Cheers everyone for the great comments especially Redog tuning into Channel 4 instead of Channel 5 (LOL I watched that 50 stone women too)....

Was funny to watch because it was like watching someone else, I was swearing at the tv willing myself to make the right decision (which I did sometimes I guess lol).  It was also great to watch watch Liv and what Diana Arama was playing with because she absolutely ran over the table early on.  So she did have monsters all the time, wow, but saying that she was fully capable of making moves later on even if they were bad timing.

I should say a huge thanks to Mango99 for giving me the chance at the time which he knows meant a hell a lot.....

p.s Matt ffs PLEASE shush about the commentary!!!!

I had a nice trip to A&E instead of watching this. Neverends!

Why? What happened mate?

My mate was trying to pinch my ear for a laugh with some accessory from his phone. He misjudged it a bit and I moved my head at an inopportune moment and my ear was nicely sliced.

His gf wasn't happy, so he's probably sleeping on the sofa for a month. The doctor was giving me some quality tips on how to get him in the most trouble too, although I did manage to annoy her by bleeding too much! ;ashamed;

Oh dear lol - that was an unfortunate run of events for you!

Could have been worse, if I hadn't moved my head he might have accidentally chopped off my entire ear!

Well Done Maria :-)  ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

I actually thought Danielle played ok..I expected her to be worse tbh lol

I have watched this series with some interest because I think the value is massive in these events, you can (if you wear a skirt) qualify very cheaply through online sats and heat after heat the top names have been knocked out early on in this particular event. Equally I have seen what IMO have been a couple of very good players who just got unlucky but I have to say some of them are just plain BAAAADDDDD and I wondered how the hell they got there in the first place!!!

I fancy having a go but I hate the idea of being on telly LOL

The jury is still out but it would be nice to win enough to take the kids to disneyworld :-)

This was great - I was taping it but ended up watching it all the way through anyway because I just couldn't go to be without seeing the end!

Great play from Maria - after an early chip loss she refused to die and ground right back up there. Jac Arama's wife was really running over the table early on - i think some people wanted more than the cards to be hitting her in the face!

Loved it - well done Maria.  ;applause; ;applause;

yeah wp maria, enjoyed the look on your face when u were in a big flip against diana arama's ace king! priceless

For sure. The tension was palpable.

So is Maria.

Arghhhhhhhhh!!!  I missed it!   ;frustrated;  Sounds like you played a blinder, so well done chicka!!!   ;cheerleader;

they both played it so shockingly  it sent me 2 bed early !!!

that said, any decent player would be crawling over broken glass to play in these !

Is Bronwyn Campbell's heat next week?

Ive played live with her a few times

she has some talent

Yeah its Bronwyn's heat next week, great girl!


Cheers for your patience Porty!!

Just finished watching this.  Very well done Maria, and well played to Liv too.  Like Suzanne watching this series has got me itching to compete in something like this -  would love the opportunity to have a shot and think I'm at the stage now where I've got the game to do it. 

My new year's poker resolution now is to buckle down and get some results, try to play live more, and get myself qualified for a few bigger events.

Well done again Chili!  ;mexicanwave;

Jac Aramas wife is a stunner!!

I thought Maria and the other girlie Liv played the best and deserved to get headsup was better than i expected to be honest pity about the girl commentating had to mute her on a few occassions lol

Liv played well, is pretty hot too  ;)

scrap that - plastic surgery is looking like the option that would have the most favourable oiutcome! :D

Missed it Maria - was nice playing with you tonight. Will try and catch it on pokertube when it gets there.
Hope you taught Mr Nowab a lesson with his super laggy play. Crazy.

Was nice to play with you too Greg, unfortunately none of us got the chance to have a go at Simon Nowab because he won a load then went to entertain some guests that he had in attendence...Shame, but he will always be around for a bit of loose easy money. 

Stayed in the same seat for about 6 hours in the cash - did me no good mind, sigh........

very well done maria.  ;hattip;
