also during the 3 quailfiers there will be 6 bounties worth $50 each on elblondie,tikay,tony g, some forum fish (why anyone would put a bounty on me i dont know easiest bounty in history) and 2 representatives of virginpoker (http://travis.bosscasinos.com/re.asp?name=POK&camp=REF5111_0&go=http%3a%2f%2fwww.virginpoker.com)

as virginpoker (http://travis.bosscasinos.com/re.asp?name=POK&camp=REF5111_0&go=http%3a%2f%2fwww.virginpoker.com) have just relaunched with a totally new database there is no reason for anyone not being able to play in the league.

Is it exclusive to blonde?
i notice they are sponsoring Dpommo.

the only people able to play this event will be players clicking thru the link on this forum or the banner on the blondepoker webpage (when added on thursday)

so it will only be open to blondepoker.com no other website is involved and most of the players will be forum members but some people will problery sign up who havent signed up to the forum but use the blondepoker website as is there choice

i repeat there will be no other site involved in this league

oh i forgot 2 players with bounties on there head will be from virginpokers's marketing department

i just looked, a bit gaudy but fine.
are they on a network?
sorry to fire questions at ya, tell me to sod off if you like :)

sod off  8)

that's it pick on the fat kid, he's got no feelings

i believe they are on the bossman networki dont know which other sites are on that network but its a major player in the euro market

who is picking on kiv now?

Nice one iron, signing myself up now. Will this be easier than last time trying to win a bounty off dave? (Calling him wasn't the problem, it was the people on the table getting in the way with rubbish like  Ac Ah)

well as i have never played with a bounty on my head before and am a fish at the best of times my bounty wont be to hard to win

ive played with a mars bar on my head :)

signing up now

looking forward to meeting all the blondeites at the tables.

see you all there

raab

looks like its using the same network as gala poker.

So when do the tournaments get added then. Eargly awaiting to sign up in lucky 13th position!

what about knickers?

don't you mean...... ah forget it

Robert, Should you not be at work, or does your shift start at   4h  or   5h,

 ;letsparty;

lol. I have been on call since  6h, but thankfully a quiet day so far.

( ;tracet;)

Only while playing on the internet in the comfort of my own home ;)

i always thought it was spelt with an "s" - Snickers

Well, I am signed up, gl all :)

Heid
xx

I will register later on tonight work now  ;D some one has to let you in the casino

How much does this Freeroll costs  ::) 

Well done Ironside, missed u at Blackpool (well done in the Omaha by the way) no dout cya in a Lap Bar sooooon.

With my recent form anychance for points for making the top 100  :)up.

Good Luck All

BA

Iv'e Downloaded ,looks as if I might miss the Tuesday one though (hope it's omaha)   0:-)

correct me if i'm wrong but are they not all on tuesdays? i dont like your chances of progressing to the final!!!  :D

i'm going to download the software tonight when i get home and watch a few tables to see how the site runs before deciding whether to join in. Then its off to the circus to profit on BigArmo's current "good fortune" ;)

No, I am only missing the first tuesday, working away   :)up

I'm in although i might not be able to play a full game on the first week. If not i'll gamble then sit out to get some points   :o ;scarymoment;

Sandy

have downloaded the software - how soon will it be before we can register for the tourney? just so we have enough time to sort out any problems.....

monkey and technology not a good mix :'(

it will apear 1 day before the comp starts

i am in direct contact with a guy that can help with any problems

and after he finishes at Mr Bransons house for the launch he will join us on the forum

if you all try and join as far in advance as possible then any problems will be sorted

if you leave it too the last minute then i cannot gaurnetee we will be able to sort any problems

but i am 99% certain there will be no problems just better to be safe than sorry

hi m8 just a Quick question  ,  probably not to relevant to most based in ireland  and i use laser  or bank transfer  for all my poker do i have any options on making a transfer and recieving payments if u forward this on for me , 

How many sets of tickets can we get for the launch party at bransons pad then?

mikky too late mate it was tonight i couldnt make it as it was in englandshire

reative no idea what your on about but they have live help if you download the software they should be able to help you if not ask me again and i will see what i can find out

I've not tried to download yet but it is BossMedia software which has always been funny in the past about multiple accounts from the same machine.  I already have various versions on my laptop including SportingOdds, CelebPoker, TotalPoker, Bowmans, University Poker League etc.

If this has already been mentioned then any help would be appreciated else in the past I had to register my account with a random machine and then it would allow me to play from mine.  Odd but that work around took me about a week to prise from customer services - which is notoriously shocking on this network by the way!!

when i tried to sign up it refused a couple of names i use guess i have them on different versions of boss but it accepted my 4th attempt

if you have a problem jamie you know my number

OK I'm signed up.

And ready to rumble  ;karabiner;

Ok i have signed up, now where do i find the blonde comps?

I believe you have to click on the links that ironside posted at the start of the thread.

right,

i`m registered and rarin to swim like a fish :D

Hay Iron good work as usual......
I've downloaded Virgin, using yur links on the thread, I ca'nt seem to find league mtts, are they up there yet?

Sounds like a great format

I just dounloaded and deposited

The name will be zwolf as on this site so all will know me.

Just wanted to know how to find the tourneys and is there a code to sign up ?

good work ironside

I signed up following the links and dont see any blonde comps, what am i doing wrong?

Guys,
i suspect that as its not till next tuesday Ironside just wants us to register early to sort any possible software hardware cakeware problems and then the tourney will appear at a later date..and i presume we should all be in it?

I'm too lazy to check all the thread but I think ironside mentioned that the Comp will be in the Lobby the day before.

robert is correct the event will show up in the lobby the day before it is due to start

Can't make the first one of these - have a home game with colleagues I'm running - but would like to take part in the last three, can I register after the first event has started? Great idea, btw.

yes you can play any of the first 3 or all of the first 3 events
the 4th event is for quailfiers only

Ta. Much appreciated.

Tony reminds me of myself when I first started playing poker...

I must admit that I rubbed people down, had a rant, slagged certain individuals off etc and to be honest I really enjoyed it....

However the point is I started playing poker when I was 8 years old and since then have grown up.....

As a well known member of this forum said last year in the Caribbean Poker Classic "Show some class and dont be an ass"

Wrong thread   DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :o

I'm signed up too!

   ...and I'm right behind you Trace...!! 8)

im sure everyone knows this but....
there are $1000 freerolls on virgin all this week at 8.30pm.

seems like a good chance to try the software before the league starts.

hope to see some bloneites there, or at least the skint ones...lol

raab

oh registration starts at 6.30pm

Thanks for that, registered in the hope I find time to play

ok installed, what do we do now? Just wait until the 29th so that we can register?

am in the 1000 freeroll about 250 players with 10 mins to go..fun time

It's a shame that the first one clashes with "beat the mob" on Prima.

 :o ::) :dd:

Ive just signed up 2. I like the feel of Virgin Poker and the way it plays. Is it Bosspoker network right?

C

   
 I've signed-up------------going to give the freeroll a go tonite just to check the site out.

 Looking forward to Tuesday..  Well done Blonde..  :respect:
 

Yes, I think that's what it's called. Same s/w as Sporting Odds, celebpoker and Poker Heaven.

   Ironside, just a quick question.Is TonyG still going to be one of the bounties or is a sub going to be used?

   

sharpy i will let you know as soon as i know

sorry not seen earlier posts but cant find tourney on virgin anywhere is it posted yet

Hi Iron , I signed up to Virgin through the link and cannot find the tourney. Also what are the requirements for releasing my free dollars? Thank very much

the event will be going up later this afternoon

as for the freedollars i have no idea i have 200 to release myself but cant find info on it

the game is now listed but has only been given a 2 hour sign up time i have asked for them to open up regitration so we can register straight away

When does registration open?

at the moment is says 6:30 tomorrow but i have asked them to change it so we can sign up now

 :blonde: didnt think to look at tourney info

Thanks    Jim.

sorry If I missed it but is there a password or something, otherwise how will they know you are eligible?

Because Virgin will know you came via blonde as you clicked on the blonde link.

you will only see the event on your screen if you joined via the link

The system wont allow me to use the same card I have with celebpoker and if I take it off celebpoker it still wont let me use it.....I've spoken to the help people who didnt live up to their name.....any ideas anyone - I only have one card.....

Tracey

There is no need to deposit to play

you dont need to put money in tracey

ok downloaded it :)  nickname is yorksgirly

see u there xx

yep , me too   im ready for the fish fest :)

OK i forgot my login ID

how does one find out this info? Seems pretty useless software

Good old Flushy, always looking on the bright side ;)

They are giving the bondeites over $10,000 for FREE & we still have folks complaining!

The bounty on Tony G will not be paid, we are still working (well poor Iron is) on whether we can swap it to someone else.

I can't play this week as I have an appointment in London on Tuesday evening, but if I am able to postpone it, I'll play the Virgin comp. I am also unavailable next Tuesday.

But the promised Bounty Values will be paid one way or another, no matter who plays.

I can see the tourney - but can't register. If anyone can please let us know.

BTW - Nice work sorting the tourney out guys!!

Woohoo.. I am in as HeidiF or Heidster .. one of em :)

F for "Effing hell! What's she done that for?"

I can see tourney, but can't reg :)

Heid
xx

REGISTRATION WILL START:
18:30 GMT (7 hours 50 mins from now)

TOURNAMENT WILL START:
20:30 GMT (9 hours 50 mins from now)

You come in useful occaissionally Mikky ;)

can i ask a question ? If I register, but am not logged on at 8.30 when the tourney begins, what will happen ? Will I still be allowed to play if I join late ?

I believe so, you will marked as "sat out" and blinded away until you log in

Don't quote me, but Im sure Ironside said something about trying to get them to open the registration early, so if you are at the PC i'd check periodically.

Ok I won't

 I must say ,the chance to add to my Virgin air miles as I play, sounds great....starts in Feb. apparently.
 
 Also with so many other" irons in fires", this site has the potential to offer some really good incentives........

Its a very good point Rip, it might just give them an edge in the market as well.

yep it's the cherry on top of the cake ;)

Im in as GC73, couldnt get a decent Silo name so used my initials.

What kind of parents give their child the names Seven Three?

ok, so obviously you cant help your surname - its what your dad Mr.Three passes on in every generation but Seven?!?!?

I'm danmonkey on Virgin too.  Sadly it doesn't look like I'll be playing tonight as the missus is taking me to the theatre  :dontask: :( >:( ;sleep;

As for the bonus dollars, they pay out $10 for every $35 of rake paid.  It says cash games but I don't know whether this refers to stt/mtt's too.  I've managed to work off $30 this weekend which amounts to a troubling $105 of rake paid  :o  

Whilst I've made a (small) profit it demonstrates just where the real money is to be made.  

Incidentally I was accused of 'ruining' and omaha game yesterday after introducing preflop raises and check-raises, there are plenty of ;fish; !

Aaaagh I forgot about this - is it tonight?

Memo to self set alarm to sign up for it  lol

Set another alarm to remember to play it!

Or you could just set one alarm for 5 mins before the tourney starts then register - make a quick brew - play tourney :)

<--------------- (coffee, milk and one sugar ;))

I've signed up, Bongooo is my name.

Played a little play money game yesterday to get used to the software, seems ok - although there does seem to be a bit of a delay between hands.

How/where do you check how much bonus you have worked off?

No one has discovered that one yet, even Ironside

Can't exist then, he knows everything  8)

whats the torni called in the lobby

Aptly named Blonde Freeroll, it can be found in:

Tourney>Freerolls

Use the tabs :)

right i have a problem then

I registered through the link , and all was fine.

About 2 days ago i tried to log in and it wouldnt let me, saying they had upgraded.i upgraded as it said

I did this but the blonde torni is not showing now

I AM WORRIED - any help would be appreciated

Hello everyone!

I wanted to sign up on virginpoker but i can't chose Germany in their list.... Are Germans not allowed to play on Virginpoker?
Can anyone help me?

We don't have ordinary coffee in my house - Cappucinno  only!!!

Even better :) dont suppose you've got the chocolate and/or cinnamon sprinkles to go on top? (if not i've got enough to go round!! ;))

Hmmm, there where certainly a lot of countries listed. Not sure why it wouldn't list germany?

Cinammon?

<retch>

Yeah - then when i dunk my banana in my brew all the froth soaks into the banana making it nice and soggy and the chocolate and cinnamon sprinkles coat the banana helping it melt in the mouth!!

mmmmmmmmmmm :)

I have cancelled my appointment in London tonight, all I have to do now is get home by 8.30, & I'll be able to play this. But I don't get out of the 425 Studio till gone 5, so it's touch & go.

I have Registered, via blonde, with Virgin - I'm "tikay21".

I hear you can register NOW

Looking in Tourneys then Freerolls - no Blonde poker listed in there for me!!!


HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP   pmsl

Now what?

Give Ironside a PM - you need to have downloaded the software via the blondepoker link. It may be that you downloaded recently so that its not yet active. Support will need to flag you as being eligible.

I'm in... although I wont be back here at 8:30pm when it starts, so I hope I get back before I'm blinded away :D

trace i had the same

delete the skin from your comp - then go to http://www.virgingames.com/poker/default.aspx

redownload - and you shud be fine

okey dokey

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I downloaded it from one of Ironside's links in his first post..

tracet let me know if smithys fix works

Nope it didn't... 

Trace,

Sent you a link that will work.. Ali was having thr same prob, and I got it fixed for her.

Heid is a Fairy Godmother :-*

PS. I am in as AwesomeAl  coz AwesomeAli was already taken - by me - on another skin  :D

Hi James

Thanks for your email.

I have searched our records but I am unable to find any record of an account for
you. Can confirm if it is the casino or the poker tables you play on?

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Customer (James Dempsey) - 29/11/2005 03.35 PM
I forgot my login ID.

My name is James Dempsey, the account is registred to this E-mail my address
is xxxxxxx, my DOB is 24/9/82





Well......i call them and after spelling my name to the guy 100 times he finds me in the records and after answering a million questions gives me my login id, THATS ALL I WANTED!! lol, not a bleeding password! why can't they just have a button to send the ID/Pass to your e-mail box? OR better yet when you open an account send you your ID manualy!

So far i am not impressed, the site seems to be running VERY slowly....is that just me?

However i like the tourny lobby, it is well laid out, and i also like the multi-tabling feature.

Good luck to all playing tonight, the NORSE HORSE will be looking to eat chips!

<edited by Heid to take out addy>

flushy i had problem with my login and password it took 48 hours to resolve

but i am assured there support is getting better it teething trouble with the migraition that has caused the problem

software runs ok infact lots of fish

I'm in as sendthcake as i've already used up riverdave on one of the other boss sites.

please click

here (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=4114.0) and post your aliases

please remember the blonde league all though mainly forum members will have a few people in it that have never visited the forum and have no intention too as they would have clicked thru from blondepoker (http://www.blondepoker.com)

Thanks guys
