blonde poker forum

Betfair are going to run a market on tomorrows WSOP qualifier, please register now Tikay and other "names" so they can include you in the betting.

Err.....tikay.

Is is THAT simple?

Are you already entered? They will only include people who are in the field in the next 30 mins or so in the list. Any late comers (eg people who register later today or tomorrow) will not be added to the market.

Simple terms get bought in now and post your moniker here so ruru can formulate the betting.

Hells bells, it's all go.

OK, I have entered for the tourney - tikay1 - & I'll have 10 on myself at any price above 66/1.

Ariston - is the market open yet, as ive just had a look, but cant see it under the poker Tab???

when is it due to open?

Ariston im in boss ;D FOXMAN

    Russ im in an ive got no chance so lets have a juicy price. 50 s sounds reasonable

    KASBAH

    See ya Sunday ! :P

 

Last two Sundays there have been 265 and 266 runners.

10 from each one qualifies.

50's, 66's ?

 ???

I am not forming this market but if either of you are over 20s I will back you. Tikay I have a feeling you may be one of the favourites.

whats the buy in? Sounds good, 275 ish runners, 10 qualify. I may have to invest in a little of that.
They take NETeller?

I don't think Betfair do but most of the Crypto skins do take Neteller...

Betfair dont do 'NETeller' - but yes the other skins do!

The Buy-in is $300 + $20

Total players Registered So Far = 60
Max Players allowed = 636

1 seat for ever 40 entrants.
If less than 400 entrants, 10 seats Guaranteed

Tourney commences July 12th @ 18:00hrs BST

No idea Simon, but you ought to have a go. We had GREAT fun last week, Colchester Kev & Ironside did a live update, a great community spirit, we were all sweating each other. I am playing it on Wm Hill, but I don't know if they do Neteller.

Ariston & Karabiner - of COURSE 66/1 is reasonable. I don't act on the going, the trip is wrong, and I'm on the wrong handicap mark. Or as a previous business colleague of mine used to say, "be reasonable, see it my way".

Lets wait & see what the odds are.

But don't forget, ALL the blondeites that enter must post saying so on the forum, so that the Updaters can track your progress.

So let's have your screen & real names please posted please.

The Live Update thread will be in the "Live Tournament Updates" section.

I hear, by the way, that Thewy is playing it. Call him if he raises, he'll be at it.

Thanks Dave, I may well give it a go then.
I just need to find out which ones accept Mr NETeller now and it is game on!
I dont have many dreams but one is to play the WSOP and I want it to be this year!

You a possible for Vegas Simon? Whahoo!

Good Luck Tikay

However I have a feeling I'll see you in the Bar at Gala Approx 8.15

No chance (unless of course I win a seat online!).
If you do happen to win a seat on one of the Crypto sites, do you have to wear their colours? That could be awkward for a lot of people, for example, if you win Tikay, what about the Blonde / 425 hat etc !!!

Mine's a coke please M Power. And I hope we are on the same table.

For the benefit of those not lucky enough to witness it, MPower was on my table last Sunday in the 100 at Notts. First hand he picked up KK, whahoo! he thinks. Using every ounce of guile & skill he possesses, (not much, it must be said) he somehow enticed Matey Boy to get all his chips in the middle pre-flop. Matey Boy fell for it, though he did have the Aces. How we all laughed.......

yes im afraid that is true, if you win through Betfair, you must wear there Branded clothing amounst other things, there website explains it.

with regards to there other ones, i assume they will request the same.

Incidently, have you seen the Bonus the www.fulltiltpoker.com (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com) are offering, if you win a seat through them you get extra money from them if you finish quite high up the leader board, the bonus is as follows:

if you make the:

-Final Table = Bonus of $50,000
-Last 3 players = Bonus of $100,000

...But get this, if you win the tourney outright, not only will you take home to expected top prize of $10Million...

...But, Full Tilt Poker, will give you a bonus of another $10Million!!! ( Now thats a Bonus)

Thanks Dave, I never knew about the clothing rule. But if I won a WSOP seat on Wm Hill, I'd be delighted to wear their shirt!

I usually wear blondepoker gear, but only to advertise the site, I don't get paid or sponsored to wear it. I own the site, along with my partners, so it would be money in one pocket & out the other, not a lot of point really! And I wore Poker 425 gear on Thursday at Gutshot - that was a one-off sponsorship deal, but for future 425 televised events, I will prob wear it, simply for advertising reasons.

So if I win a seat on Sunday, I'd have no prob with wearing Wm Hill's gear. Be delighted in fact!

...not too sure my employers would be so delighted!

Ahh, never thought of that......OOPS!

I can't find the betfair terms and conditions where it says exactly what you have to wear.

But I don't object to wearing a jacket or a hat.

If you were sponsored by blondepoker you'd have to dye your hair blonde......

sorry tikay for calling you a liar but i never did live updates from the betfair event last week i was out having dinner with my folks

i did do live updates from notts and vegas via your txt's last weekend

and also did live updates from the bluesquare bubble event buthavent got a crypto skin on my machine at the moment think i have an account with one of the skins so i better go test some passes

Ahh, it was Colchester Kev that did last Sunday's WSOP Qualifier jobbie I think, sorry. I get confused you know. I guess - hope - we have him on hand tomorow. And if Ironside can get access, all the better, as it must be tough to follow the progress of everyone online.

So this wsop Q

What time and what sites how i got the 300 entry fee but therest was a bluuuuuuuuuur

Hi Nick, Betfair @ 6pm sunday eve is the big qualifier ( also available on willy hill's and other crypto sites) loads of Blondites playing, even the world heads up runner up is rumoured to be having a go ;)

Not the WHUP runner up
tried to txt him today but no reply
in tenerife at the mo will try to get on and play

what is your screen name ..i will look out for you and include you in the updates if you play.

Got a few depends which site whilll or betfair any others

well if you are gonna play, post your screen name in here sometime before tourny starts and we will include you in the updates, at the last count there were over a dozen blondites taking part .

I look forward to seeing your new hairdo in LV !

Wow lets hope it isnt the same for the poor russian players that qualify through  Hakkabolokoff.poker.com

Oddly, I just had an e-mail from Mr Colclough

"......have you had your hair dyed blonde yet? Don't bother coming over to Vegas if you have not...".

 Told him what to do. Who does he think he is?

Can you IMAGINE the grief I'd get? I wore a perfectly respctable pair of shorts, & got flamed to death, ditto my lovely plum jacket. No chance!

I'm sure someone must have a spare blonde wig.

Fat Jac, or Elvis maybe.

 ;D

Hi all,
Taken a deep breath and signed up for tonights WSOP sat.

Screen name: ESTONER.

Forum name: Ericstoner.( The real name of The Cincinnatti kid,played so brilliantly by Steve Mc Queen)

Real Name: Brendan Hartnett. Based in Sussex Uk, Been playing for 15 years.Online since 2000.
                     Biggest online braging point- Won outright, Easter Sunday 2003, ::) $250000 big one on Stars.

Good luck to all- but only till 6 pm tonight.

*NB- The kids name is only mentioned in the scene where he is introduced to the Man by The Shooter.
Scene: The Hotal room, The Kid arrives aceptablly late and meets Lancy in the middle of the room.
"Lancy, ......Eric Stoner, The Cincinniti kid" Says The shooter.

Well done Eric - so you have a bit of experience online then.....! Good Luck tonight, your name will be added to the update list, which is being run by Colchester Kev &/or Ironside I think (hope...).

Ian (ifm). Sorry, I don't know where the market it, I think Ariston will hopefully post later, he knew the score. But I THINK we had to have notified this Forum by midday yesterday if we wanted to be included. I will have a search around & see if I can find it in bit. Good Luck tonight!

If any blondeites (if?) wins a WSOP seat tonight, we will do the old "player cam" bit on them in Vegas, & follow them closely in our Vegas Main Event Live Update jobbie.

Ian, I gather the market was due to be put up by betfair, but I have had a look on their site & cant find anything. Maybe not enough folks registered in time. But we will still have some good craic tonight.

Thx Tikay,
Is it poss to list all blondites playing tonight, with their real and screen names.
As its gonna be difficult to keep looking the info up on this thread.
Thx.

Eric,

There wil be a dedicated Live Update thread later. It is up to all those playing to post their real & screen names on there, so that the updaters can follow them on behalf of everyone.

Just trying to complete the registration process for tonight (what a balls ache), what is the difference between Nickname and Username????
I want my normal one but the nickname and user name cant be the same. This is one of the most stupid ideas i have ever seen. Surely if you select a UserName it is the name that you want to be know by? Which one is on show at the table please?
Grumble Grumble Grumble. I can see this is only going to be used for tonight and Blonde Tourneys.
For the record, I registered with UB the other day and it was painless and very easy.  These boys should look at it.

just ad a fullstop at the end of the name and they will accept it or a 1 that way you can keep the same name as your username!

ty, but do you know which one is the name that appears on the tables?

Nickname is the one that shows on the table I believe. I had to register last night for the Gutshot/William Hill 1000 Freeroll, which has been postponed after all that. (Any idea why anybody?)

Nickname! on betfair anyway

Having sung the praises of Ultimate Bet, I am going to take the fifth on this one. I was trying to see if there was a sateliite to play and get used to the software. I found a couple of satellites and clicked on the links to see where they went, I get their system error! Surely they can get them working for such a big event? I click cashier and require more passwords yet I am already logged in. I can not understand how this is so different to every other (non UK) site that I have played. Is this something to do with Rules & Regulations in the UK or just not very well thought out? My apologies, I know many of my friends on here have connections with Wm Hill but, I believe feedback is important. And my understanding of the site.
As I have   Wm Hill account, how do I know how much it will cost (as it is in dollars) when I register?

I agree with the daft way you have to keep putting in passwords to view balance etc.
As for the $  thing, it converts it for ya and tells you how much it is in s
Ian

hi simon,

i used to also think it was a bit over the top having to re-insert your password, but having spoken to the poker boss there is a very good reason for this - security.
suppose your are playing at the gutshot, in their internet room & you pop to the bar to get a drink - unless a passer-by with itchy fingers knows your password he can't nip into your account & get his hands on all your lovely lolly.

i'll be playing tonights qualifier as one of the following...
_YO_YO_
SPASSKY
SOOOBAD

exciting eh?

Sorry, sorry,sorry,sorry,sorry (to infinity)
bit of a cock up on the market folks. They have now put a market up on whether or not I will qualify, just what I wanted- get half of blonde to register early and then p**s them off by putting a yes/no market up on one player. Will enjoy being targeted by all of you I suppose :-[

no change there then  ::)

Dont mind you coming looking for me Julian but will some of the better players on here leave me alone till will get to the final 10  ;)

Thewy got THREE aliases. WTF?

It's intolerable.

Is it permitted to have accounts at two different crypto-skins ?

I only have a betfair account at present, does that mean that I am unable to open a WH a/c ?

you can open multiple accounts on any site(s).
Nothing to stop you, i have betunfair and will hill

You are allowed more than one alias? Wow, that suprises me also!!
Anyway, I finally got through the registration process although had to walk away from the computer to calm down a little, LOL.
Thanks for the explanation Julian, I suppose you can not be TOO SECURE so it is not a bad thing. Thing is I am not sure that a company needs to take account of an eventuality that someone would really be so stupid as to walk away from the computer in a public place with access to there money. What they are in fact doing (in effect) is leaving cash on a table for someone to pick up! Anyway, point taken although it is a balls ache. Perhaps a better idea would be to put a "tick box" when you log in (like hotmail do) to say if you are accessing the site from a public place. This way, the computer will not store any personal info anyway.
I will be playing tonight now so look forward to seeing you all there, good luck to you all!

Regarding multiple accounts, you can not do that on many sites, it fact it is strictly prohibited on some.

SoooBad is my brothers, Spassky's the wifes....

i have two on stars as well...it's a jackal & hyde thing...

of course unofficially Julian!
I think as I was honest enough to say that I hated the sign up process for Wm Hill,  it is only fair for me to say that I just had a little play on there and like the set up and the game play. Hopefully be a good toournament tonight.

The reason for having a username and different nickname is also security. On othersites the name you play under is also the username you use to login - this gives "hackers" half the information they need to get all your cash (e.g. hipicrit on pokerstars). With the crypto system they would have to "guess" your username and your password.

thats me in for tonight's qualifier - just won a stt sat

wasnt going to play this, but what with that kinda value can i not play?!?!

join in the fun Flushie...if u can stay awake ;-)

Ariston back or lay??? great prices on betfair go get them ;D  , im gonna make a bookie one day :-\

I might play this if i am not to busy with the blue square league playoff! Although i did swear i would never return to crypto!

it starts 2 hours before the league playoff

I was thinking, for whoever does win these seats, i bet flight availability is a bit of a problem at the minute!

take a boat

Due to rain, my weekend with the family in Wales has ben cut short  :)

So I am in tonight, screen name seasider1.

Presume you went to N.Wales.

South Wales has had glorious weather over the weekend.
So good in fact, that my surfing weekend on the Gower was cancelled due to lack of surf!

North Wales yes.  Saturday was glorious, proper cracking the flags stuff.

But today was a washout, and cold too.

Nope if you do win it, your flights are all paid for and booked by Betfair!

and you get $2000 extra for spending money, plus you get a room for 9 nights!

169 Runners with less than 1 hour to go!

When is the official Date of the Biggie (Main Event) in Vegas

dave, whats your screen name ??

July 7th/8th/9th---15th.

So how many Blondeites are in?Maybe we shouodl have started a new thread with confirmed blonde runners.
Be interesting to see our predictions of how many will make the trip. My prediction is a massive TWO !!!

jbsc  check the live updates board for full details  WSOP Sunday 6pm Qualifier

Excellent, TY CK

I've just registered and paid in on Hills.  I am _junior_
don't expect any early moves from me, i am a late starter in these MTT's, sometimes i never even get going a all!  ;)

Ok, i lied, hand 3 and i am chip leader - a guy just wouldn't pt his set of 6's downs against my set of 9's  :)

There's new market up for next Sunday's final on Betfair. ariston, Buzzer (Thomas Bihl) and RayVon included so far. We'll add tikay for you all to lay heavily if he's able to play from Norway.

Someone has backed ariston at quite a short price already!!! What was that Red Dog was saying on another thread about burning money? ;)
