blonde poker forum

The Anchorman this week is Compo.

Helsinki is the featured Venue, Brighton is being held over until NEXT week.

The opening "link" is something of an oddity - Rhowena sitting on a giant cannon, a bit "Cher style"......

Rhow "The Bok" then does another Link fom the Venue, just after the comp began, in which she comments that with 20,000 starting chips & a 1 hour clock, even tikay can't bust out.

Then she interviews me after I'd busted out inside the first level.......

There is also some pre-Final footage from Helsinki, mostly inteviews with early bustees, including Joe Grech.

Part Two shows & interviews most of the Finalists, plus a Profile of Joe Grech.

We discuss the Rankings, and stuff.

There will be a Live Phone-In spamming the show at around 6pm this evening on "4/5" on Channel 425, featuring, if I'm not mistaken, Charlie the Talking Cat, &, if I can get a word in edgeways, me.

send DC somewhere far away, and tell me more......

Nice one, Looking forward to it as usual.

How come you never plug Blondes on there Tikay?  Against the rules maybe but you could get a sneeky plug in there at some time :)

blondes, or blondepoker?

So it is Rhow's fault then for your early exit then - as she put "the kiss of death" on you before the tourney had even begun?!?!? ;)

No, it was the Poker God's fault. They heard me going round telling eveyone what a great structure it was, & how only a numpty could bust out early. So they contrived a situation where I put all my chips in when drawing pretty much dead. A genuine candidate for "Worst Play of the Year". But lets not take anything away from the boy J P Kelly, he played his set beautifully, & fooled me into thinking he could not POSSIBLY have that hand. 

i read the report you had given in another thread - just trying to offer a more reasonable explanation as to why a winner of a recent ranking festival event could have been eliminated from a well structured tourney!!

Is there any coverage of the Blonde League Final Table because i was in my scruffs with no make up on  ;D.

Plus they where some real dodgy characters on the Rail defo faces for Radio.

Cheers

BA  :cheers:

It was what Thewy & me say to each other before Tourneys "NO MOMS". A MOM is a "MOMENT OF MADNESS".

And I was seriously hacked off with myself. I have never, ever, not even once moaned about a Bad Beat, they truly never trouble me, & I would not play poker if they did, & of course, they cut both ways.

But MOM's, well that's different, they drive me insane. All the way to Helsinki, & then I go & do that!

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH

Dear BA

i doubt the application of make up would have made much difference!!

Yours Sincerely
Mr real dodgy rail character

Unfortunately one of the unavoidable side effects of being a human being..... Its all part of the learning curve though, onwards and upwards as they say!!

WIll poker 425 ever make it to NTL?, i feel deprived.

Gotcha Silo.

Yes, I, & the Anchorman, frequently spam the "Poker 425 blonde Forum", both in passing, and directly, usually with reference to Live Updates. "blondepoker" as such, no, that would be a bit too cheeky, but "Poker 425 blonde Forum" does get plenty of namechecks.

"Commercial considerations" give me more headaches than you could ever imagine, though I am certainly not complaining.

In this week's 425, I am interviewed at the Helsinki Venue. Usually, I wear a blondepoker shirt, but I have a William Hill or Poker 425 Branded Shirt with me, just out of courtsey to the Programme & Forum. In Helsinki, for no other reason than that I forgot, I happened to be wearing a Sporting Odds.com shirt, & in the interview, this is clearly & prominently visible. And in fact, I DO have a deal ( NOT a sponsorship deal, except on occasional one off ocasions) with Sporting Odds, so I guess they'd be happy about that, but Poker 425 not so. So I mentioned it to the Producer, & again today to Bobby1 (Mr Phil Quayle, of William Hill) & they both said "no problemo, we want "balance", so that's a relief.

And then, only yesterday, another dilemma arose. Mr Ladbroke very kindly invited me to go on their cruise in January. Because they like me? I think not. Because I'm a jolly good fella? Ditto. So I said thank you very much, but I need to speak to my & blonde's other commercial partners. I spoke to Bobby1 again, he was fine, "just do it Tony, & be sensible & even-handed in any Posts you make about it". I need to chat with some other Partners about it, too.

I just think honesty & open-ness is the best way forward.

Tricky calls, though, as I like my business partnerships to be long-term, I'm not in it for a quick buck, & I like to give value.

Yes, I'm THE luckiest guy in poker, especially given my position on the poker ability ladder, but these potential conflicts of interest do worry the life out of me.

Not a bad prob to have, I guess! ah well, it may all end tonmorrow, so I'm loving it whilst it lasts. And if it does all end? No regrets, none at all. Poker, & the people in it, have been marvellous to me.

I didnt realise it was so complicated

"Yes, I'm THE luckiest guy in poker,"

LOL yeah sounds like a good gig but I expect you dont just get it from being some numpty of the internet :)  Keep up the great work TiKay  :respect:

Thanks Silo.

The key ingredients are good looks, sex appeal, youthful vitality, & a talent for poker that cannot be learned from books.

just like some things will always remain a mystery no matter how well read you are.

Tikay, just tell them you cant go and send them my way

But do you have the key ingredients Flushy?

and Compo has a sense of humour to add to those.

So you must be the balance Phil is talking about.

Sorry "Jumper" Robert, but I forgot to add to key ingredients "a fashion shepherd".

No he didn't - he has cuddled his way to the top......... 0:-)

Dingdell, ignore that horrible Tighty, I think you are WONDERFUL.

;D

Hold on - what do you mean ignore Tighty - whats he said about me behind my  back???

 :hello:, still here

Err, hole cards on the internet.........

I gather you can request a hand history that shows you what the oppo mucked. A great new innovation.

you can get that from any table at pokerstars provided you were involved in the hand at some stage. So long as the hand goes all the way to a showdown, all the losing hands that are mucked appear in the hand history showing what their hands were - another great tool for players. FREE INFORMATION!! :)

You lost me there Tighty. EVRYONE knows that, surely?...............

Visions of Armani sheep spring up

even most girlies. and Rookies. but not Girly rookies obviously

including one who has won a seat to the Bahamas and has the last say over the tiramasu

Oi Oi Oi - just caught up with this thread......so Oi again!  Criticise me now - but I know you'll be lovely to me when the chips are in and I'm winning.......TE has given me a book to read so I now I'm going to do well.....it's nothing to do with poker but it will take my mind off the game.

Is it the colouring in one or the join the dots one??

I only have one set of colouring books, I enjoy them too much to lend them out

She's got my Puzzle wordsearch instead

oooo no, far too much brain power required for those!! i can just about cope with the combination books of joining the dots then colouring in - anything else gives monkey headache :(

I'm not doing the puzzles - just colouring in the margins.
