blonde poker forum

what we doing for bB9
where we doing it
when we doing it
and who will be doing it
and will anyone be there to run it
and by how many games will i thrash flush in our best of 9 HU challenge



my personal favourite is a cruise round the orkneys around about march as the weather is better then

november? not sure i will still be alive in november got to do something a little sooner

we need to see how long flushy's losing run goes on so we know our budget

Sure looking forward to a bash at DTD :(

Mini-bash in Vegas in September FTW.

:)up

What: Poker, Strippers, pub crawl
Where: Suggestions ITT
When: Depends on the where, obv!
Who: Whoever decides to sign up, obv!!
Will: Yes, I think Hopkin should run it. If push comes to shove, Ill do it.
And: 9-0.

I don't really like the idea of a bash at DTD. They'd have all their usual tournies on i'm guessing and it'd be full of non-blonde people. And expensive. And I spend enough time there anyway.

I'd rather it was somewhere I've not been before. Though obviously this can never be the case for everyone :)

the bash at DTD was the best yet by a mile!

Do you think simon will let us fill DTD with strippers??

karoke in the beer garden ftw

f your wheels i am a magician

;D

That was THE BEST!!!  Still LMAO when thinking about it.

rather sadly perhaps, probably one of the most enjoyable weekends of my life. FACT!

knock knock

Brighton August Bank Holiday

knock knock was Walsalll dude!

Genius.

yeah but i sang about 500 versus of it in the beer garden at dtd

that is true. as you were.

maccy d's drive thru anyone?

the only problem with having another bash at DTD is it would be soooo difficult to live up to the last one - I'm sure we'd give it a good shot though.

wonkey wonkey wonkey jim

even a wonkey jim cant cope with a djinn on a heater

Without a doubt...the BEST bash I've been to.

6 seater FTW.  All else fails...annoy sliightly beg locals with wheels.  Result!

Let's go 'round again!

LOL

Seriously though, what would be done to organise a proper, official bash?

i'm guessing that the mods need to get heads together to sort dates, venues etc that fit in with them before doing anything else. would be good to have another bash sooner rather than later - the year between the last two was too long imo.

I was discussing this with DTD today.

Plan is to have a DTD bash by early summer.  Saturday main event, Sunday side events incl Omaha. 200 people.

Online qualification via DTD online for weekend packages. Possibly Online Qualification only

Working on dates asap, to get sats up and running asap

Nice. Calendar cleared.

it was too long, but entirely down to our financial problems as was well documented


From here on in, under the terms of our arrangement, its DTD all the way, probably twice a year.

:)up

tighty said possibly quailfiers only that rules you and me out of the poker but guess we can go for the best bit anyway

SNAP!  Was just thinking the same thing.   rotflmfao

meh not bothered either way tbh!

Sigh....

A bash 5 minutes from home just won't be the same.....

then get a date sorted for coming to aberdeen

F**k that!! It's bleedin miles away!!

you've got a few months to move house

Might just put the dog in kennels and stay in a hotel anyway. It might make it seem a bit better.

Siunds great especially PLO on Sunday.

Hopefully if its online qualification only those of us who didn't sign up to DTD online thru' Blonde can take part?

in.

Obviously great for the majority and blonde and dtd, but for me thats just poo.  :'(

Eh? I have to qualify online to play in a blonde bash?

Shame they have to all be at dtd. Was looking forward to visiting some cities/casinos I've not been to before.

Seems fair to me that if you want to go to a blonde/DTD bash, you have to sign up on the cardroom.  I'd expect that direct buy-ins will also be allowed - but who knows?


I guess no DTD tie-in then no blonde Bashes.  'Tis a bit of shame that there won't be any on 'tour', but I guess there are plenty of other tournaments and fessies for that.

How much of any city do we actually see anyway?

Pubs
Casinos
Strip Bars
Hotel Receptions

P.s. Now senoritas has closed there is only one tez table dancing place in town.

New business venture for the Bawbags maybe?  Seriously, Matt knows most of the girls anyway, so finding staff shouldn't be difficult.

Newcastle imo,

three good card rooms that dont do much on weekend and can be hired for free
big market
lots of strip clubs

pita to get to
overpriced hotels

If you will drive a flat bread?
Agree with the second point! Hi Der £120 to stop in a Jury's Inn

lol - for those of us that dont drive its a nightmare to get to.

Try the APAT tournaments - great weekends with quite a few of the same faces.

This. The most recent team event was like a mini blonde bash - minus the friday night shenanigans.

You weren't at the Europeans in Luton obviously!!

I can confirm shenanigans in Luton. 

You means the association that discriminates against a significant minority of people who attend blonde bashes, excellent idea.

 ;envious;

I've only played one APAT game and I didn't really enjoy it. It was full of loud mouthed drunk people. Quite a few people didn't like this and it didn't make for a nice atmosphere. I've not been to one of them since.

...and that's different to a blonde bash in what way?

Also, good sample size.

Yes I think there have been at least 2 tournaments like that since it started, so probably best avoided.

the blonde bash was full of... how can i put it... good drunk people. A few of the guys in the APAT thing just seemed like idiots that I had no desire to ever want to know.

And yeah it's a sample size of one. But given how much effort it was to actually get into the thing (clickfest thingy) I see no reason to really try it again.

Which one was it by the way?

I'm going to guess Walsall last year?

I'm gonna guess at APAT Walsall.

I can see why the 12 seconds it took to clickfest would've put you off. way too much effort

Too dry sir.

I got into poker through APAT weekends.

But i dont think you can compare Blonde Bashes with APAT weekends.

Apat Weekends = Blonde Bash if it was full of Bainns

Correct.

Was that one notably worse than the others?

yes, and a couple of temporary bans were issued as a result.  There was still fun to be had that weekend though, including an interesting chat about professinal jousting iirc, plus the drama of the running man.

walsall was not helped by the fact that at the time it was probably the worst run cardroom in the country, nobody was controlling anything

yeah we had a receptionist dealing to us for a bit having had hardly any training.

when and where is the next apat or sky event i want to play something soon but i dont want to be messing about with planes trains and taxis as i aint that fit at the moment

or is there anything decent on at luton or broadway ?

APAT season 4 schedule hasn't been announced yet.  Des reckons it'll be sorted soon.

i wonder where the euproean leg will be

i fancy somewhere in the south with a bit of sun and maybe a beach

portugal or spain

Slough

APAT hat on

Walsall in Season 3 was a bit of a one off. Some poor player behaviour, and organisation difficulties with the venue. It may have changed since but at the time Walsall was at a low ebb. It was, by far, our most difficult weekend. There was one isolated instance at the DTD event in late summer that led to a player ban, but Walsall apart to characterise APAT as being played by drunks/unenjoyable etc is incorrect, I think.

Season 4. Very close. Will satisfy Ironside, which is good for starters, and really is a very exciting year ahead for our members.

Sky @ Alea Glasgow coming up reasonably soon iirc.Online sats only usually.

Would you say "soon"

LOL

I tried not to.

Has Des done a deal with Spearmint Rhino

Is there a Spearmint Rhino in the Balearics?

Don't think so, but if you un-ban Jaydeaa, I'm sure he'll open one

when is the clickfest

soon

someone remind me pls
