blonde poker forum

so, been hearing stories around my town (small town) of this juicy cash game, full of yocals. £1k min sit down, in a pub run by the owner once a week (tuesday) i dont drink in there, its supposed to be soft,

how do i approach getting into this game in a sneaky manner without looking like ive played for years. Plan so far is to go in about 10pm 12am start by all acounts, have a few beers and just see whats going on.

any advice appreciated

I think it will be pretty suspicious if just pitch up for a couple of beers and randomly have a few bag in your back pocket  :D

Maybe go along one week and have a couple, at closing time ask if they are going to have a lock in and take it from there. Maybe try and get invited back the next week, play the long game and don't be too desperate to get in that night.

go in a couple of times at lunch , get talking to the gaffa buy him a pint etc tell him you just done some dough at bookies and try to get the conversation around to poker.
if there is a pool table try get him to have a game lose a few quid
like last post don't rush in long game

Watch Rounders, do that scene where Matt Damon and Edward Norton pretend not to know each other.

Is this in Dronny? I would have thought everyone would have kinda known each other anyway round there anyway.

Hmmm...maybe ur the target of the 3s long game

N they have hidden cameras n "big bazza the hamma"...sending info via morse code...

Just a thought

just tell them who ya are mate... they'll make sure you're in the game

Actually, if I know thicko pub poker players like I think I do, I reckon lots would relish the chance to get a professional in the game, just so they can rip the piss if they bust you

Heh, first thing that came to mind when I read the OP.

Get Barry Neville to tell em your in.

Yea dont just roll up with a bag!

Say your a contractor on a big build for 6 months and fancy some poker do you know anywhere i can get a game.

If they say they got a cash game then say you have only got £300 on you, do they mind u short stacking. If they say no then ask for an invite next week when you have more funds.

Once you're in dont snap start doing madskillz chip tricks and showing unbelievable folding tekkers.

And when someone in the game recognises him as having played at the G over several years?

Yeh but don't completely hustle them cos unless you're a pro hustler you'll let something slip and things might turn nasty.

Despite the sarcasm this is the best advice to get in the game.

Also - just be careful about the hustle too - who "told" you about the game - why are they not in it?

lol some comedy level replies itt.

Go there, be honest about playing a lot of poker online if asked and just say you want to play cash. They are raking your pots so ought to welcome you.

Most fish don't know they're fish anyway.

yes dont lie coz you win anything you are in for a kicking. make 100% sure you are not the mark coz you'd be in for a bumming. gtd there will be someone who knows or at least heard of you trigg. which pub is it in?

this this This THis THIs THIS...............

So disappointed there hasn't been Trigg photoshopped into various rounders scenes/posters itt.

Having an angle seems pretty stupid.  Go in with some friends for lunch and/or some drinks some time, ask someone about the game and try to downplay how much you play/win as much as possible without resorting to any ridic lies.

Should be easy to get into the game, but my tips for staying in it:

- Keep up with their booze intake
- Be willing to laugh at yourself, don't take the game too seriously
- Project a super loose image - raise blind pre-flop a few times and show down some real garbage. 

Tbh these games are starting to pop up all over the place and yes they can be soft but instead of dodging one bullet you end up with a table full of AK47s.

Best way to get into them is to ask straight up, no point hiding the fact that you play and don't rub their noses in it if they play bad or you make a big bluff. If you do you will soon find the "sold" sign up when looking for a seat.

In a game I play I have seen someone amazed that i could lay down red 4's with the board showing a set but all five clubs. Just don't take the piss mate and when you win do it gracefully.
