He is looking for someone to play the Heads Up event for him, on a 50-50 split, including the plate competition if you are entered following an Early HU defeat If you are local-ish to Berkshire and want to play next Wednesday, please contact me First come first served, as long as you are a blonde member known to me (ie not a newbie!) thanks Title: Re: Heads Up for a Heads Up seat in the blonde League Post by: scotty77 on June 01, 2011, 06:12:48 PM woulda played this if i wasn't busy on a Wednesday
if anyone hasn't been to TCs before its a nice friendly and well run place. in the town centre too and not somewhere you would feel uncomfortable walking back to ur car at 2 in the morning! Title: Re: Heads Up for a Heads Up seat in the blonde League Post by: suzanne on June 01, 2011, 06:43:12 PM I could be up for this, I will ring the club and find out start times etc. Only problem is I would need to get home the same evening.
Brb, checking babysitters/trains etc Title: Re: Heads Up for a Heads Up seat in the blonde League Post by: suzanne on June 01, 2011, 07:24:52 PM Ok, it starts at 8pm. Last train home is 23.41 although there is another at 4.12 but I would have to hang around Reading for an hour and a half till 6am which I am not too keen on. Its doable.
Lets see if anyone else who lives closer/has a car wants to play. Btw what is a plate tourament?

Title: Re: Heads Up for a Heads Up seat in the blonde League Post by: suzanne on June 09, 2011, 03:51:51 PM Well that was fun :)
The game started with 23 players so a play off with 14 of us to make the final 16. Did I get a bye? Of course not. 2 pros there which obviously I hoped to avoid, did I avoid them? Errrrr no, I was drawn with Mark Banin...sigh. If you are going to play HU poker then you might as well do it with one of the best. The score 2-0. I was pwned. Not to worry, £15 from each player was taken off the buyin for the "losers", the first 8 out played an sng with £100 for the winner and £60 for second which I WON!! weeeeeeeeeee. A very enjoyable evening, lovely staff who couldnt do enough and I really look forward to going back again which will probably be on the 16th July when they have a £5k guarenteed, £100 + £50 addon (optional). Cant remember exact details but I am sure Allan will post them up nearer the time. PS I was only there 5 mins when a bloke approach me and said "Are you the lady on blonde who doesnt know how to play HU" LOL Title: Re: Heads Up for a Heads Up seat in the blonde League Post by: ripple11 on June 09, 2011, 04:04:09 PM PS I was only there 5 mins when a bloke approach me and said "Are you the lady on blonde who doesnt know how to play HU" LOL rotflmfao Nice result in the end Suz.....well played!
