blonde poker forum

During the last year we heard mention of Heads Up Comps between Nottingham, Luton and Blackpool. It died a death and nothing was ever heard of them again. Perhaps it was hardly exhibition stuff and the teams were staffed by second rate Heads Up players, who knows.

Well good news! A new grouping of five stars has appeared on the scene, The Heads Up All Stars. Formed especially for the Brum Bash.

These highly trained players form an awesome team and ready to meet any other team in a Comp during that weekend. Yes, any team! It could be from the above mentioned villages or  indeed a team of girlies or Casino staff, there will be space and time to play in the hotels no doubt. It may be that a County team can be formed from the outlaying parts of England, i.e. scotland or wales.

Is there any team willing to risk humiliation and a smidgen of their bank roll? Probably not but the chance is there for the taking.

I'm sure we could rustle up a Scottish side. How many in a team?

who is in this team of comics?

LOL

ok ifm your skating on thin ice thats a yellow card any more scottish jokes and i will ensure your on the same team as tikay for the blonde quiz

That would be the grey quiz..................

5 in a team

who is this 5 man comical team wishing to take on all comers?

If you have the money to waste you will find out

Buy-in? What is the?

Or is it negotiable?

I thought we'd already established that................

OK, the fine print.

What is invisaged is each of the 5 team members each play a single HU match against a drawn opponent. So 5 individual matches in all.

Each member stakes £45 + £5 (the rake going to Poker4charity if all agree)
(the buy in IS negotiable if need be, the main thing is to have fun)

There is nothing stopping a team having a joint bankroll to reduce the variance.

2000 chips, blinds start at 25/50, 15 minute clock.

rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

how about a charity of choice instead?

Once teams have been chosen there is nothing to stop other challenges, e.g. the scotch people against welch ones. This is added in case you felt the might of the All Stars is too great to overcome.

Any Scottish blondes going to BlondieBishBash fancy this? I assume Ironside is up for it, with me that makes 2, need 3 more.

no problem, winner chooses

Will you move all-in against my quad deuces again? :D

ok which girlies wanna sign up,

me, jen, jo, trace, ginger????    u up for it girlies, lets show them :)

Not girly enough for you Mel??    :dontask:

P4C Team, Me. Davey, Flushy, Satty and Jaggers?? you fancy it guys??

Ang x x

Mr Tank - check the "acceptances" list - there are a whole load of Scottish blondes coming down. Between them, there must almost be the sum total of one English brain.

A fair bunch of us coming fae Scotland totaling around 10, fine and good, Scottish brains.

MikkyT coming down aswell, so there's your, not quite one, English brain.


Just putting the shout out asking which ones fancy the heads up comp. If more than 5 we might need to arrange some qualifying heats so as to earn the right to represent our fine country.

started reading the thread and thought "definitely outting a team together.
got to page 2 £50 is too much.
can it be between a minimum and maximum with a flat £25 per team rake for charity?
I would certainly like to put a team together for £20+£5

Adam i think thats why you can pool the bankroll, very unlikely you will ALL lose.

You've still gotta start with £50 a man

Point taken Adam, we will take a look at this. We may even be introduce a lower buy-in Heads-Up Comp, or satellites, or some means to ensure everyone who wants to play, can play.

Will you be trying for the Nottingham team then Adam, do I sense improvement, perhaps you could attract sponsorship?

This team has been put together at great expense. Transfer fees, training camps, international air travel, steak dinners and Guinness do not come cheap. However if you get yourself into the Nottingham team, or whichever, discuss it with them and PM me that way we save time and energy, oh and no polls.

I think you missed the concept of the joint bankroll and JD's post. Yes it would cost, say, £50 to buy in perhaps but only if all 5 of you lost would it cost you that much. But as I said get in a team and elect a captain to contact me. Money will not stand in the way of us all having a good time.

Without wanting to sounding patronising there are a group of people who, throughout the year, give us all great service and perhaps are rewarded less than they should. If the casino staff can get a team together and one of them contact me we can chat about setting up a game.

I have a team and I'm confident of a win.
Notts B has a pool of about 10 players
£20+£5 is the challenge regardless of who your team is, we'll win

where would the game be played as the casino staff cant play the blonde comp so doubt any will travel to broadways

I understand there will be some coming and it will be open to broadway staff and other local poker room/casino staff to play.

the matches all took place and there was quite a rail. The matches were £300 a man if I remember correctly (Mr yong from the Notts team still has the trophy). Cant really argue about the 2nd rate heads up players though- how long did your match last again Tikay??

Well if Notts A aren't up for a game you may get a chance.

I will get a Cheesey team together...Sheriff? Heid? yt? Ali?

up for it?

Are you sure!

and why not may I ask?

Nevermind a Scottish team we could put together a Cincinnattis team which means we claim DC  8)

I would obviously still be captain tho  ;D

We have standards

Tell that to the Sheep in your garden.

I'm in!  I think Ali is unavailable for the Blonde bash though.

Put me down for part of your team though, regardless of what we end up calling it!

Sheriff

Yeah you can count me in to the cheesey team :)

(still have a headache! I can't believe I was playing 6 card omaha hi lo last night)

Heid
xx

Hehe, your hold em days will soonb be over now you know about 6 card Omaha!!

Ich bin ein Cheeseyer. I would be happy to play. Is this online or live and when? Hang on I just read back though the posts I'm not at the blonde bash, sorry. maybe in the future?

Sheriff is indeed correct (as always) I cant make that weekend.

I would be honoured for you to play as team cheesey tho  8)

how about pokerron and redsimon instead of myself and yt?

Ali

cough cough;

casino staff can't be seen to be playing ....splutter splutter.....which hotel?

Just read thread, and am sh**ing myself now, do you think we can fit 2 comps a quiz sidegames stt's and a heads up tourny + drink and food  in 2 days? Still trying to get staff for saturdays comp LOL, but don't worry I will sort it!!

Oh sod it anyone want a karaoki competition as well (thats a joke) :D

On a serious note I need to liase with a rep from blonde....any takers?

Dik, there's not gonna be a whole lot of sleep going on mate <g>

It will all fit in :)

what about drunken coma's, when can we fit those in?

Ahh well .. I don't really drink (apart from if I win the tourney - then I am getting lashed), so you drinkers will have to sched your own downtime.

Can you sort a Karaoke? Can Ya? Can Ya?

Heid

Errrrrrrrm..................... ;scarymoment;

dik, if you need to speak to Blonde...try me first...I can liaise with the powerrs that be for you

Hi dik

Perhaps I should have mentioned it to you first, apologies, the idea is to find a corner of the cardroom/hotel and play there. I don't want it to be extra work for you but wouldn't mind a few chips if we are in the card room. I suggested a structure earlier in the thread, in this post:

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=4523.msg100958#msg100958

I understand that staff can't play in the card room and perhaps not in the hotel (Marriot!)

hey i am up for the karoke comp great idea dik

but when are we fitting in the guided tour of the lap dancing club lol

Deerie me - he's like a dog with a bone! Just won't let it lie!

I'm just pleased there's something I won't have to attend - I'll be spa'ing it then I reckon :)

In light of the context you may want to rephrase that  :D

thats what you think

hi all

sorry im a newbie here and  could someone please tell me what the blonde bash is please and when and where.
have searched but cannot find info.

definetly up for the 5 man heads up event. we have played a couple games under this format and are looking for more.

inthebelly.co.uk

is our website please feel free to have a look

cheers

turny

try the live poker board (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0) and all will be revealed

your most kind ironside.
have put my name down plus 1 playing guest

look forward to meeting you

and if this heads up challenge things a definate then theyl be 5 of us for the saturday

Are they blonde members?

no not that il aware of but im sure theyl be happy to sign up.

is this a problem?

sorry but we not lond discovered this great site

Join up, join in and tell us more.

as you can see i am a member.


will get the others to sign up as well

me and jen are definates,  need confirmation from ginger, jo, and any girlie wanting to kick some butt :)

Count me in Mel  :D

excellent jane :)  2 more girlies to recruit  and we'll have em by the nuts

Well that's four Mel, keep scrapping away the maybe another in the bottom of that barrel.

oi you :)  i kicked your bum in live heads up hehe  and Jane and Jen and Jo are awesome,only 1 more girlie and we'll have ya again hehehehe 

I'm in the Cheesey Team, else I would have stuck me hand up :)

3 - 2 with an outragous runner runner separating the girlie fish and I

You call it runner runner, we call it female intuition.

lol  he didn't tell you that his game to level it up was runner runner either ;)

Unfortunately i'll only be around for saturdays festivities so unless its going to be held on the saturday then there isn't much point of me trying to find 4 other members for team "monkey magic" - if it is on saturday then i could always join any team with vacancies if i cant rustle up four of my fellow primates into action.

could even be a proper cheeky monkey and get a spot in the girlies team - i'd love to spend the afternoon playing with <ahem - sorry> alongside the better looking members of blondepoker  :D :D

She called it "woo woo", which worries me. Mel will explain.



How can you say that!

ah well Brum will answer all. Get your piggy banks out and some practise in.

Matt, it depends on how many teams appear. It may be a sprinkling of challenges or, if enough maybe even a knockout comp, though I maybe a little adventurous with that idea. We'll see.

Its the power of the "Woo",  when you are behind you "Woo" your cards in :)  seems to work excellent when needed lol and only used it once ;)   rest of the time, female intuition was infront and ahead hehe  

want some more practice ;)

You haven't paid me for the last lessons yet

lol I told you "in kind"  oops hehe

I am not even going to ask

 :D 8) :D
back on later off shopping :) 

I played robert last night, 4-1, he is officially a fish! The best was all in pre flop with my QJ vs his 66, he coulnt figure out how he had lost after the 568 flop

You must have been lucky Flush, I can't seem to beat Robert at HU comps. Always seems to out play me.


(Steve don't leave yourself logged on!)

There's been a bit of discussion about who people want in their HU teams and a couple of names have been mentioned. We thought it fair to tell you who's in the winning All Stars team before you start drawing up team sheets:

Royal Flush
byron kincaide
snoppy
myself
and last, but certainly not least, elblondie

Still open for serious challenges though it would be understandable if you lot chickened out he he

wow 5 muppets in 1 team so come on who really is in the all star team

All mouth and no team

i could beat your team playing all 5 of you HU at the same time and on a clock
if i lost more than 1 game i would be shocked but no way i would lose more than 2

Yes of course you would, absolutely.
(excuse me whilst I humour the deluded fish)

Very worried that you are not wanting to play in a team, do you just want to play with yourself?

Going back to bed so I can have a dream as well.

Oooooh, Thanks for putting a reminder up, James asked me to reserve the room a few days ago!  :)up  

Manah Manah De Der De De De

I'm sure they'll be plenty of Statler and Waldorf style comments from anyone watching you play Ironside.

 :kiv: :kiv:

I will try and get the Rock to commentate for you ironside. :D

Girlie team is now confirmed   Mel, djinn (jen) , Ginger, Jo and The Woo ,  all stars pah!  we'll have ya by the balls :)

Sorry I can't repeat the phrase, but "short and curlies" spring to mind.

Are you happy with the buy in and structure. If so we'll get someone independant to make a draw and he individuials can arrange to play as soon as possible over the weekend.

lol ;)

what was the buy in and structure, seem to remember about £40 each or something?

Geez why do I bother:

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=4523.msg100958#msg100958

i've slept since then :)   yeah looks good to us

Good, that's my buy in sorted for the Saturday comp, with some to spare.


Anybody else?

lol dream on ,.......    8)

Right I have seen this thread ticking over!

I may have to put a team together to face those motlley crews...

Kev up for helping maybe??? could i get chubbs rob and the shrew in a team all at once!!! so many egos so little time lol!

At-iT

Ian, the girls team was made up of remnants from the bottom of a barrell and I see you are planning on looking for talent in an aquarium.

Robert i will save my talking for the table... the more you talk the harder the fall will be! Especially when your team fails to win a match...

Your taking lessons from flushy... the only thing he is helping you do is talk a good game!

Some fish BITE you know...

Just thought I'd set the atmosphere. lol

Bite away, there's a tasty morsel on the hook.

Good luck

May the best team win, and if it is'nt mine we must've been unlucky!

Does Tikay not have a team i heard he is a heads up specialist... Wrote articles on it and everything!

He's been very quiet, I reckon he's in Helsinki checking out part of our team.

Were we ever able to rustle up a Scottish HU team ? Maybe not for the Blonde Bash, but maybe we should invite the "All Stars" up to "Jockland" for a 5-0 drubbing.

Do we give them the drubbing before or after we lose at the poker?

I don't think so, but they'll definately be at least 5 of us down there so we may as well.

I would be up for this if anyone will have me. If not I am sure I can rustle up a world beating team on the day.

Jezza, have a word with At-it

Wanna join me and Wardonkey in team mongreldonkey?

If we're the Mongrel Mob, can I be Jake the Muss?
