blonde poker forum

Hi Everyone

I have had to withdraw my poker roll to pay for bills etc but have some time to play tonight and really fancy a game.

I am just looking to play a $22 180 man on Stars.

50/50 after stake deducted in the event of any binkage?

Kind regards

TheWhisper

Not sure what time I will be home, 7ish I hope will post later if you don't have a backer by then, what's your stars name?

you wanna just play the one tourney?

oprs?

Thanks - thewhisper

Yes just the one

According to OPR you run at about 50% ROI in these games, so why should someone stake you at ~100% ROI to see any return?

Ya, ridic premium to charge for a single comp.

Thank you Flushy for pointing the error of my ways I will spend the evening watching TV instead.

I am not sure I agree with your interpretation of my results as I show a profit on these games, albeit small.

Thetank, not sure I understand your comment, staking for single games is always 50/50.

Be lucky

according to who?

Are you putting up 50% of the buy-in?

If not you are charging a premium. Wanting someone to put up 100% of the money for 50% of any prize is far from standard in a single comp staking deal.

If you can find mugs that like to do this then well played. Keep doing exactly what you're doing and more power to you.

tbf people have made this mistake before because people who are running good or whatever will stake X blondes at 50/50 but obv there is a difference between offering a stake and asking for one. also 50/50 could be fine for a long term +ev deal, but not really for a one off.

i read (dunno if true) that that russian dude who finaled the WSOP and the WSOPE was staked 100% and only got 10% of each win.

Sometimes people will offer this as a one off for fun but asking for it is way over the top.

If you can point me to a thread on here where someone has asked for and got 50/50 for 100% staking I'll be impressed.

70/30 in stakers favour is about the best you can get.

Not saying you're trying to rip anyone off I think you just don't understand quite how much you're asking for.

Good point.

The offering to stake people in one comp for 50:50 is people who've just had a big win or w/ever and they know they're taking a negative EV hit but they want to give something back to the forum out of a kind of philantropy balla-ness. (or a similar motivation, I dunno. Maybe they want some degen action and would rather that the equity they lose goes to a forum member rather than a casino, or just for the craic, who knows, these people eat £5 notes for a laff  :D )

As byron points out, there's a big difference in people offering free money and people asking for free money. Not saying that's what you've done deliberately, the confusion is understandable.

It's not that we're all h8ers, it's just that there's a slow bloke that posts on here called EvilPie who'd ridic multai and also a bit special. We like to look out for him, he'd have a bit of everthing otherwise.

If Flushy et al didn't point out which deals were shoite for the backer numbers wise poor Matt would only be multai instead of ridic multai.

Cut the guy some slack guys.

He's only asking for $22 not like he's asking for 50/50 backing into an ept event.

good luck with your investment.

Nah that's incorrect Byron.

It's Ivan Demidov you are talking about and I believe he was on a 30/70 deal if I remember the post he wrote very recently on 2+2 about it correctly. Apparently this deal was standard at the time for players in Russia.

Also, his backer still owes him money I believe.

+ 1

I'm looking for staking into the $300 wednesday quarter million- Username hairymonster thank you bye

i take it he is not online

Il play it for him Rhodesy!

Pretty much what everyone else has said.

As a side i will continue to post if i think people are trying to take advantage of the good nature of blondes (especially after the RobetHM recent bump)

mate there is a $5  two rebuys and 1 add on starts in 1 hour 50 ish gets 22k pots i put you in that is a good and soft game 50/50 take all your ru buys stright away imo

il play that for ya then

Girgy85 is that right

Sent make good luck take your chips stright away  imo

This was never intended as an investment opportunity just helping a fellow out but hey ho.

LeedsRhodesy. top man. I've gone off the idea of playing but thanks for the offer.

sure you dont want in makes about $4k 1st prize

Norrrr,play and Bink,fk the haters :)

TBF it's an easy mistake to make,or at least a common one,i did it asking for a 1k event haha.At first i took it personal too before I realised how stupid I'd been.Obv yours nowhere near as bad but still the same in a way.

Where that girgy now i have sent him the money?? i bet he has done a runner

Blonde asked the members to play on their poker client and small players were given the "maximum" loyalty payment in return. It appeared that other skins gave more from others posts and possibly you gave bigger hitters more as well if they played on blonde if i picked up correctly. Is that not taking advantage ? You didn't say much that i saw then.

Sandy

fyp then :)

 ::)

Oi fk off just done 3 miles tonight fker!

Rhodesy, I hate doing this, and it is not something I am comfortable doing ... but please start typing BREAK instead of BRAKE ... you have done it loads lately and it is really tilting me for some reason ;)

even if you bet 100 on the river he folds

lol ok i will write it on my hand 

I wasn't around when the deal was done but i am not sure how giving people rakeback is taking advantage?

7310 at 1st brake rhodesy! still got my add on!

LOL nh bigboy.

play a hand you nit

Waiting for aces mate!

hows the running going?

currently sittin on 16.5k- rhodes whats my play do I still take the add on or u want yer $5.00 back-is there much point in the extra 2.5k in this situation?

Just busto sigh!

Didnt get chance to use the add on rhodesy! il ship it back now!

add on mate the more chips the better

I don't think Brian likes you.

$5.5k Ftw lets gogogogog

Didn't you bring in some big rakers for blonde ?  Did they get the same loyalty as the smallballers ?

On the same line as this thread was there better value to be had ?

Were blonde wrong ? Not in my opinion but for you to then criticize a blonde because you think his offerings are bad value is hypocritical.

Sandy

GL mate going to bed now keep it going and win us both some mad ones

long way to go-i'll try not to blow up tho

Flushy's been calling things as he sees them on here for 5 year.
You want him to stop now because he's bought the place?

fk that


This allegedly giving bigger players better rakeback on the sly issue has got bugger all to do with anything here.
If Flushy has to stop criticising people's actions, from a logical poker player minded perspective, lest they take the hump and spite dig up some random shit to have a pop at blonde, then the forum will be a much poorer place.

Sigh....

the good ol' days.......

Every single IPoker skin paid more than the "permitted network maximum" to some of its players. blonde did so to only a few players, to not have done so would have meant we would have had no sizeable rakers, in what had effectively become an "arms race" amongst competing skins. Furthermore I don't think we ever denied it. People know its a fact of online poker life for skins.

I don't really see how Sandy's analogy here is applicable. The OP made an innocent mistake I think, which is easily done on these types of issues, and posters are quite within their rights to put him right, if done so without being harsh.
 

good post rich.

God you don't know how much I miss the old 75% rakeback deal I had on blonde.

lol.

Has since implied that he understood OP was bad deal for staker but that instead he was having a bit of a nip.

I stand corrected then. Even more right for people to make those unsuspecting aware then

lol if Hairydude binks $5.5k amidst all this bollox

glgl

Yes. Some did some didn't, sliding scale.

No.

No.

slightly disingenuous there tank - I don't think that was implied at all

no need to quote it, I read it first time round. I just don't see the same implication that you do.

When 'helping a fellow out' involves handing over cash, it's a nip.

Not in my eyes. Nipping would be "can someone lend me $22 - will send back asap".  The way I read it, the dude fancies a game of poker, doesn't have any funds to play with atm and came on looking to see if someone would ship him a relatively small amount of money with the possibility of a decent return (even if the figures he came up with weren't quite the norm).  I don't understand why the fact he said he was hoping someone could help him out amounts to nipping?

What the hell all this???   i would never back anyone to play just one  $22 180 man mtt like first asked for on here but if someone wants to play a good value mtt where i think its a weak field and where i know the pot going to be $30-$40k for a $20 stake i dont mind showing some love.

End of the day if he goes on to blink $5.5k now im a happy man

ehhhh wasnt me thats started this thread  ;hide;

Should I just be open folding here-oppo is very loose aggressive?? defo fold eh??

yea Fold good then

reason and logic went out the window some time ago

glgl and fold that shite pre in that pos :)

1st "decent" hand i've had in an hour-trying to steal but table is full of calling stations-hard to find spots- now just about average with 40xBB...still time!!!

loads off time left

errrm is that flop wrong?

Should I be calling here 100% then? I tanked and tanked then couldnt see much I was beating?

Clare he's basically implied its a veiled nip, which is what it is.

Why you say that??

Possibly right flushy- because of previous hand dynamics think he thought he could bully....

googogogoogogogogogo

What are you losing too?

quite a few hands??

only he know's what he's implying; everyone's inferring different things. I think way too much has been read into the wording he chose to use.

on A95r?

lost a chunk-down to 35xBB- average stack

It was just a bizarre move from him I half expected a set or A9, AK AQ

its def a call dr rhodes

Pretty sure you wont see AK/AQ flat pre, nor AA. If they do why would they jam?

Yeah your right-after I looked through hand historys etc he had been jamming a lot preflop etc think he was just a muppet

This is likely!

Still, gogogo

bluffing with AJ  on A95r board?

Just wish I could get a hand...trying to steal whenever possible but not got much of a stack for it- got 38.5, blinds 750/1500/175- average is 45k

FUCKKKKK....

sorry down a chunk- they've raised my blind tons and thought this was a bit of bubble play since we were on it

but anyway been moved to a new table got 31k(15xbb) but got put to the right of the 3 biggies on 94, 98 and 148 which aint great- one time!!!!!!

Sigh.... Out- sorry I couldnt do better mate- couldve defo done better in certain spots-some u seen some not so much :-/

Thoughts on my exit hand? pretty standard eh with 10xBB- win that and i'm right back in it but ah well

Thanks for the stake-work out what i've to ship & i'll do it tomorrow- need to get to my kip!

Don't love the shove with no FE tbh. You are being called 100% of the time and are behind 90% or more of the time.

15 to 20 bigs deffo shove because better hands will fold. Once you're down to 10 you really need to be first in to the pot without a premium.

Just my personal preference for playing the short stack.

Think the qj on the end is a fold against utg raisor, unless he is uber loose.

You have no fold equity and are quite a bit behind his range, not a lot going for it really.

Misread by me last night.

It was henrik not Whisper who dug up the rakeback nonsense. For some reason I thought Whisper brought it up and henrik piley-ed on.

Apologies Whisper. Noise us up by pm if you want a 50:50 stake tonight into something.

Is it all about fold equity in this spot though???

I understand there might not be much fold equity here but I felt it was a gamble I had to take if I wanted to go deep and chip up- I had no interest in laddering to the next pay bracket and with blinds and ante's felt I was starting to get blinded away!

Also the table, never mind this single player, was super aggro so I did think there was a chance I could get him to fold

Or is this just totally flawed thinking?

he is folding approx 0% of his opening range in that position with those stack sizes

Ok so lets say we know this- what about the other point of getting blinded away at an aggro table- we're spending 32k(tourny life) to win 72k and put us back in top 80 with a good stack to play with?

you're not desperate, you have 11x

either open shove or go over the top of a similar sized stack. making this play against the monster chipleader just looks suicidal

At an aggro table you should never get down to 10 bigs. Once you get to 15 you should be looking to reshove against a wide ranged opener while you've got FE.

You might have good odds here but you're almosty always behind. There's 8k in the middle to be picked up without showing cards every hand if you can get in there first. You don't have to do that too often to get your 72k with much less risk of going out.

there are loads of better spots than getting it in with QJ vs an UTG open with no FE.

I know this may seem pretty basic but whats my ranges for shoving when first in pot and from what positions? (on a very aggro table)
