blonde poker forum

Due to the current Cardroom situation in blonde, I'm sorry to infiorm you that Kev will be leaving his employment with blondepoker at the end of the month.

We've been well & tuly turned over by Aqua, as you know, & with the current situation, we just don't have the income, or the job for him, any more.

Kev has been kept fully appraised of our position for some time now, & we were hoping a solution would be agreed in time. It was not to be.

The two main Shareholders - & indeed Tighty - have all dipped into their pockets considerably - & Kev has worked heroically to promote the Cardroom despite the obduracy of Aqua.

Kev has spent more time on this Forum than anyone else, no exceptions. And I shall be surprised if that changes - Kev has been wholly supportive, & understanding, of the situation.

We have 2 solid deals on the Table, & a third in the offing, but it's hard to know what the shape of the Company will be until we have agreed something with one of the proposed Partners or Buyers.

So, that's it I'm afraid.

It's a relief that Kev understands the score, & to him goes my sincere thanks for that, & for everything he's done for blonde down the years.

He will remain as a Moderator, unless he decides to take a break.

I also hope to help him find some work, either elsewhere, or on a Freelance basis with blonde in the future. Some of the proposals in front of us include a restoration of our blonde Live Updates, so you never know.

Thanks Kev.

 :( Hope you find a new job fella.

Kev is  Ahrt

Sigh, needs must I suppose.

I don't think anyone could have done a better job than Kev promoting and running the cardroom.

Best wishes Kev, hope u get something suitable quickly.

whenever i've had a query/problem or needed to know something about Blonde for an article Kev has been superquick to help and he's also my live poker lucky charm, whenever he does an update I cash.

shame tht this has to happen :(

hope you get something soon kev mate :)

As from the end of January, I shall no longer be working for blonde poker.

Circumstances being what they are with the new ipoker rules and practices has seen our business decimated, and it became patently clear that my position and the card room as was, is no longer viable.

Rich is working flat out to find an alternative solution for the business, but nothing is in the pipeline that would have the means to keep me on the payroll. I fully understand the problems and although it is never nice to lose your job there really was no option.

I will of course carry on as is until the end of Jan, and as such it is business as usual until then, so keep PM'ing me and emailing if you have any issues card room wise.... I will also remain on hand for the transition and hand over at the end of the contract with our provider.

Can I take this opportunity to say how much I have enjoyed working for blonde, and I hope that I have been successful in bridging the gap between the player and the provider in terms of customer service, and bringing you fun games and leagues over the years which included some added value at times, but always a laugh and some fun.

Not sure where I go from here (apart from the job centre :D ) ... but I will still be around on blonde after the end of the month, I have far too many friends on here to walk away.

Thanks to everyone who has supported both blonde and myself in my position as card room manager, it was and is greatly appreciated.

Top bloke is our Kev. Here's wishing you the very best in whatever you move your attention to now. (drinking a nip of Dalwhinnie to your future here)

You are a top bloke.

Even though the first words you ever uttered to me were 'what the hell is wrong with that coat you are wearing' you will be sorely missed, I think some wise non ipoker bullied card room type place will swoop in and snatch you up in no time.

Top bloke, always been very helpful. Good luck with everything.

 Top man, worth his weight in Gold .    (well almost  :D ;) )

 Lots of luck in sorting something real soon.

Abs gutted for you mate, really hope you find something soon.

In an industry full of people who just don't give a shit about their players Kev was genuinely someone who'd go out of their way to quickly help out people with problems - hope you find something soon.

Still, at least Jane won't have to do any housework or cooking for the forseeable future, so there is an upside.

Good luck bud.
Thanks for everything

Sighhh.

Thanks for all the help with the cardroom you gave me Kev.

See you somewhere v soon hopefully.

Grease middy though - everything is his fault.

GL Kev - I'm sure you'll find a position in the industry if you want - as you're very good at what you do.

I can only echo the sentiments of all before me..

Kev, you've been absolutely class in everything you've done for the cardroom, but from my perspective, its the customer care and loyalty that put you above the rest.

Gl for everything in the future.

Sorry to hear this Kev.

All the best in the future.

Sorry to hear the news Kev! hope 'things' turn out well for you in the future.

All the best with the job-hunting Kev. I'm sure you'll be sorted in no time. Meanwhile I second the 'Kev finds a job' diary thread motion.

Thought you were a mouthy, annoying twat when I first met you but over the years I've got to know you and we've become friends I've realised you're not annoying.

Sorry to hear this pal, best of luck with everything. You've done a great job promoting the cardroom - a shining example to anyone else involved in customer care.

You can look back and be proud of your work.

I know you always loved the cat pictures on the updates, so here's a picture of your replacement for old times sake.
