blonde poker forum

Ok, so I can't play the Sunday majors tonight, but fancy a punt, so I will stake 2 players in the Sunday Warm Up and 2 players in the Sunday Million on Stars.

The terms are that if you cash I get my $215 back and then any profit is split 50:50.

Please only apply for one of the two events which suit you best (obv don't apply to play the million if you have to work tomorrow etc), post your OPR stats and your pokerstars name so I can sharkscope it.

I will select who I consider the best two qualified players for each event and then first 14 players who aren't successful I will stake in the 200k in a 50:50 deal.

Please make it clear if you have no interest in playing the 200k.

The decisions will made at 5pm and the money transfered shortly afterwards.

Thanks and gl.

*EDIT* 250 post minimum to apply.

Would be happy to play either the Million or the Warm Up.  I do have work tomorrow but only in the afternoon, but work with my Dad and I'm sure he won't mind me not coming in if I'm winning $200k for us.  Devoting time to poker today (and the rest of the week) isn't a problem as the missus has just gone away for the week.

I'm Graham0573 on Stars and FT.

Happy to play the $200k too.

Good luck to you and your horses :)

Hi Camel, dont know how to print screenshots (durr) but I have a 97.36% for the year on Stars. Have ran terrible recentley so staking is ftw!

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/sledge13/poker/results/D9CD02337B364D68903426D40F875212.html?t=2

Warm up please.

Could someone post my stats for camal for me plz much appreciated i'm useless as this type of thing cheers

Would of been interested for the $200k, but don't think any stats for me are listed on OPR. GL with your horses though

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/tikay/poker/results/BBE8B7D87E1B471BA52A9FEE042A669F.html?t=2

Just go here and type in your username, all the stats he would like will be there.

Not interested Camel, wouldn't want to waste your money! I'll waste mine instead...

Dear Keith,
    I would love to play the Warm up but my OPR stats are bad. On the plus side, i have plenty of heart and i think QPR are the greatest football team ever.

  Yours

  Boo  xx

I would like the chance to play the sunday million my opr stats are not brilliant this year as i have had not have full commitment to play poker with my final year of uni but i did have a successful year in 2007 which u can see on the stats. Pokerstars name India4life thanks for the chance

250 posts minimum fella

Young Mr Camel,

Either the Warm up or the Million would be grand for me.

The 200k is not for me I'm afraid.

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/boldedge/poker/results/F9176128A3DD4F6C9D4438B13B4BBC92.html?t=2

As you can see, very limited sample size this year..larger sample size last year and variance isn't such a bitch over a arger sample size.

Username boldedge on stars

whoopss jus noticed the minimum posts thing sorry bout that camel i withdraw my application loll gd luck to whoever gets it

I'm game for the warm-up, but I doubt I've played enough MTTs to show anything.

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/kinboshi/poker/results/E98FCD7626A94FA2A435FC73E600F8A1.html?t=2

 ;yippee; ;yippee; ;yippee;

I'll take a shot at anything you fancy putting me into Sir Camel! I have only started playing on Stars again after a well extended break, my username is Porty32. 

The last time I was staked I shipped the $15 PLO tourney and beat Boldie in the process :)

Sorry, blonde staking board rules require a minimum of 300 posts. (I assume Keith wasn't aware of this).

My stats for stars arent the best as I dont play a ton of MTTs there but here it is

Thanks

Thanks Jim

I don't understand my stats though i've played quite a lot of hu sngs and won majority of them why aren't the inc in these.My starts are pretty irrelevant really as i've played hardly any mtts on stars.GL Camel with whoever you choose very good of you to stake so many hopefully a few blondes can run good for once on a sunday

Interested in all, but somehow I dont think my stats will be good enough.

I would prefer to play the Warm Up if possible.

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/sharplea/poker/results/4BF72F03D457415696AFE44C0700284A.html?t=2

don't mind whichever tourney if selected :)

(though we're still going to beat you at the valley this season as dowie doesnt know what its like to ever pick up 3 points there!!)

Hi Keith,

Please consider me for the warmup/the 200k.

OPR Stats:

Stars: http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/dino1980/poker/results/AD155C039ECD45C7ACEAB50FAC171412.html?t=2

would love to play either if you've not picked already but would prefer warm up- stars name is hairymonster- sharkscope reads at 287% over 9 games as I've not played many MTTs or STTs there but still a good record. Most recent win was last week when I took down $2750 guaranteed on ladbrokes against 143 players-I've only played 3 MTT's in the past week so not bad!

Guess i am going to have to start posting more on here rather than apat forum!!!  Way too few postings :(

current opr 94.56 %  28652 out of 526767.

Good luck to those that are staked going to try and sat in tonite myself anyway

I had to pick Matt for the Million because he plays so good and shouldn't need to get staked, so he was a must pick.

Apart from that I just wrote tha names and Jake pointed at one when I toild him too. So blame the little fella!

Here are his choices:

Warm Up: dino1980 and sledge13

Million: Matt674 and paymyloans11

200k: graham0573, amcgrath1uk, portfolio, mondonewc and porty32.

It wasn't clear from their posts if vegaslover, boo and sharplea want to play the 200k... if you do, could you post here asap, including your stars names.

dazla was dq'ed because he didn't have the post count...sorry mate.

boodereham                 ty Keith

yeah, I'm up for the $200k, stars username is sharplea

thanks for opportunity :)

Thank you Mr Camel and good luck to everyone :)

bah.. i thought it was booderham. You sneaked an "e" in there to befuddle me.

Ty Keith and Jake! many moons ago I reached the ft...we can only hope for a repeat  :)up

cheers Keith, I feel like winning this mofo!

ty kindly squire, hopefully in 15 or so hours we are $200000 richer :)

Steaks sent to all except vegaslover. (Post as quickly as poss if you want to play).

GL to Team Camel.

Thanks for the stake Keith hopefully i'll be shipping you some $$ later. I'll post my progress/interesting hands here.

after calling my way all through that hand I call here. Why do you flat call all his bets?

I would probs have raised 3 times by now but as played I call.

he has 77, they always have 77 when they bet 777

+4

I did think about re-raising all-in on the turn and agree that as played i probably should've called the river all-in, i made a slight miiscalculation in terms of pot size as his river all-in looks normal due to the pot size. On the flop and turn I'm letting him bet for me, but by the river something just didn't feel right. I used about 60 seconds of my time bank looked at a similar HH where he'd shoved the river and even called my housemate over! I know i'd shown zero strength in the hand but i just don't think he's moving in with A-K, A-Q there and with the jack hitting there's even less hands i'm beating. In short i changed my read on the river and decided to fold (call it bottling it or whatever, perhaps i did).

FWIW he said it was a good fold, although who can tell.

lol, the reason he said good fold is that he assumes anything that's beating his 77 would call therefore you must've had worse and made a good fold iho

17k at 1st break.

The 50p was in the envelope ready to be mailed to Kev until the river saved me.

One day my fortune on stars MUST change

Many thanks for the staking Keith

gl remaining horses

Was going well early picking up small pots here and there just before the break I got a full double up with AA putting me above avergae and then boomboom ran my KK into K5 sooted that obviously turned a flush! 

Thanks for the stake Keith.

was going to push river - but then as the saying goes "you can't bluff a calling station". He got in playing a turbo satellite and this is way bigger than anything he's ever played before.....

ty for the stake, shame i run like a one legged girrafe :)

All down to Matt... not that there's any pressure or anything!!!

Matt always delivers

Matt "the Postman" Monkeyboy

lol, thanks - and after i've just took a 3k hit when i can't get someone to lay down KJ o/s out of position to a preflop reraise.

and to make it worse the same person then donked off a 10k pot raising all the way with A8 o/s no pair no draw on a K high board into someone elses KQ

still i've come back from worse :)

looking for a spot to push with my whopping 5bb's as not getting anything at this table which is absolutely unreal. guess i got lucky UTG :)

The Monkey, he back in business

gogogo monkey boy!  :kiss:

ty  :kiss:

sigh, hand after hand of 8 high, 7 high and when i get half a hand there's always a raise in front - the only unraised pot i ever seem to be first into is when i'm UTG.

Finally i get an unraised pot to try steal the 3k blinds which add a nice 20% to my stack..........
