blonde poker forum

Newbie here.  I just HAVE to ask.. and forgive me if this is answered somewhere, but I haven't found it yet..

Why the name 'blonde' poker?  Is everyone here a 'blonde' down deep?  ;)
Or perhaps it's a 'playing style'..
Please educate this newbie!!
Cheers!

Site began in early 2005, brainchild of Dave Colclough and Tony Kendall ("tikay")

Dave's poker nickname.."elblondie" after his very light hair..hence blonde Poker.

sounds better than "brunette poker" ;)

BTW - Welcome to Blonde

Ahh-hah!
Well, thanks to elblondie and Tikay for starting the site!
I got here as fast as I could, you know!
I've been watching some, but decided to try and learn.
Thanks for the insight!
And, yes, M3boy -- it's even better than 'bald poker', I imagine!  :)

Welcome  :hello:

Only new and already picking on boldie  ;) I think you will fit in very well.

OI!

She said bald POKER.  Obviously not referring to you.

:hello: Irish Lassie.

Oh yeah...good point.

Welcome Irish!

Presume this is ok to ask?  Does Dave Colclough still have anything to do with Blonde? Shares/owership etc etc... Who actually 'owns' Blonde?

He asked the question.  Can I ban him?

Anything to get that post count up...

Yes Dave is still a shareholder, though he stepped back from day to day running of the business in Mid 06

The three major shareholders are tikay, IrishDenis and Mr Colclough

BAN! BAN! BAN! BAN!

A slight correction there, for the sake of clarity. It was Dave's brainchild, but he invited me in as a Partner & Shareholder before the Site went Live, & I've been very much involved in it's day to day running ever since. I was Dave's "deputy" while he was involved, with specific responsibility for the Forum (we have a "News/Results/Home Page" & a Cardroom, too) then I took over after he took a step back to concentrate on his poker career, before Rich (TightEnd) subsequently accepted my offer for him to run the Company as CEO, which he has done for just over a year now, working closely with Denis & myself.

We hope you'll give our cardroom a go - the revenue from that helps pay for running the whole Site.

Good Luck at the Tables, wherever you play.

Cheers...

Gee, 'Hi, Boldie!'  :)
This crowd is good crack, eh?  And again, thanks for all the welcome wishes!

Next 'blonde question', if I might--
I notice the preponderance of 'hero members' posting in this thread.
What qualifies one for 'hero status?'

I hope to get more familiar with the site a wee later...
After the other thread comments, perhaps I should try for an online dental degree!

Cheers!

Hero status is conferred on those who have no life away from the forum and so manage to have a large post count.

It isn't anything to strive for...

I think you need over 300 posts or something silly like that?

PS

HI  :hello:

 ;oopsy; I reckon I come off as a bit of a perv on that dentist's thread...

And?   rotflmfao

and obviously i am nothing but a gentleman :)

I was asked if I was a dentist, when I said no, but asked why I was asked, I was told that some memebers here like IRISH DENTISTS!

Though for some post count is all that matters, isn't it? ;)

So I've heard.

Duke told me. Who told you?

No mouth-to-mouth heroics required, then, huh?  :)
Hey, 'IRISHDENIS' . . .(http://thefamilybiz.org/ezboard/emoticons/bananadevil.gif) ... a redhead?
OK, well, so far I've learned there are 52 cards in four suits!     (http://img13.exs.cx/img13/5638/hiding5lp.gif)

Thanks for all the PM welcomes and guidance too, gang!
Soon!
