blonde poker forum

right, enough polls, I'm putting up a 20 MTT on betfair for next Thursday 23rd at 20:30 BST. 20 minute clock, 2000 starting chips. if nothing else, maybe you can just treat this as a teaser until there's a general consensus on how to hold the tourney in future. I'm feeling generous so I've waived the registration fee  :)

Do you want the password to be generally released or should it be IMd to people? I'll hold on to it in the meantime.

if you keep hold of the password then you will know roughly how many are going to play

but make sure you check this thread (bump it occasionaly) and log in close to the event to give everyone who wants the pass the pass

and before people attack, I'm just attempting the kickstart the initiative - if you want to hold it elsewhere in future, I'm happy to play wherever. This is simply a way to prevent the whole thing from descending into farce.

no, I think this is the way to go. Thanks Ruru. I'll be playing. What if Ironside, you set up a stars game for another week. I'll have a bash at a laddies game.

If we make the passwords always blonde we'll know where we stand.

if anyone else wants to set up a game elsewhere they can. Perhaps after a few months we'll be in a position to set up a regular game with league etc.

i would never attack you i think its a great idea and the fact you will put blondepoker in the lobby means advertising for blondepoker so who is it hurting, as i said its a shame it couldnt have been done so easy over the whole crypto network to give those without betfair accounts a chance to play but i will work on that

I'll be cheeky (apologies in advance if i offend anyone):

Anychance of sorting a free 22 (or whatever is needed to enter) signup bonus for Ironside? I think it would be a shame to have a blonde event without him.

seconded, either that or someone transfer in for him

IM me for password if you want it, or I'll put it on general release if you like. I just want to ensure only registered blondites play

dont worry guys i will play latter events once we have them organised proper i just dont trust the net with my card details as i know how easy it is to hack an account therefore i only use neteller

Ruru, got the password. Is that his date of birth, the year he first played poker, or his age ;)

when does it appear on the private tourney list?

will appear on Tuesday

Hi, I am fine with whatever is decided, if the poll say Crypto, so be it. Now, as I had to open a Wm Hill account for last sunday, i presume i can play from that one ( i know a  stupid question but i want to be sure, I dont understand all of these skin things!)

I think it is betfair only. I have just opened a Will Hill account so don't think it is of any use to me. I don't mind opening up betfair account though is there somebody I ought to join through? Ruru, you deserve it, so do you have an affiliate's account or whatever it's called.

Not a stupid question at all, I was thinking exactly the same thing as I'm having problems accessing Betfair poker but have an a/c with Hills

this event is a prelude to the blonde poker events and is betfair only as ruru cant open over the whole network
betfair cant accept neteller though jbsc

therefore if you have a willie hills account you will need a betfair one for this event

Betfair are going to neteller soon (End of June I think, Ruru ?), too late for this one but may be of use to people down the line.

oh ok....LOL, so the vote was pretty pointless!! I thought that was why people were voting for crypto because of multi skins? Although to be fair, you have said this is not the main one. I know it sounds a little simple but, I love poker, I just get fed up of keep opening up accounts, lol. I dont know where i stand with half of them, money lieing every-bloody-where.
Ironside, do us all a favour and get it going, we have too many choices. Even now we know crypto but, which site?
I know all of your work has been with great intent on your part but, you will never keep everyone happy. It strikes me that most are happy for you to do it, set the date, the the time and lets get it on.
Not everyone will be able to make it, we know that. But, lets do it again next month, maybe at a different site. This months can be the BetFair, lets get behind it.
Next time, you select a different one, tell us where and when and life will be cool. Agreeance from anyone please?

there is a betfair tourny next week, the following week proberly the tuesday i will set up a game at stars

while those games are in the pipeline i will speak to the people on the top sites in the poll and see what they can offer

for crypto it could be a case of hijacking a pre-existing event (like the 10 seat giveaway) stars  can be private, prima can be private (we can talk to pokerchamp guy and elblondie(after he wins a bracelet if he is still talking to us mere mortals)) ladbrookes is only other site with number of votes i will speak to someone there and get that sorted too

but at the moment the first event is a betfair event after that i will make sure the schedule is known a month in advance

ladbrokes private games are 12 minute clock, 1500 chips. doubt they'll let us change it.

its ok i wont be playing on ladbrookes anyway the structure sucks the people that voted laddies and those willing to play on a sucky structure only have themselves to blame for the 12 minute rounds and the sucky structure

Anyone opening a betfair account can open it through my link if you want the 25% rakeback. Email me for details (CLICK MY PROFILE)

Sounds good Ariston.
The BSOP (Blonde Series of Poker) Adam, get the T-Shirts done, I expect Tour Dates on the back, the will be the Dogs Grollies!

Is there any reason you didnt just set this up to be availablle through all Crypto sites?

yeah

ruru works for betfair poker and can only set it up for betfair

i will attempt later to get an event over all the skins

if i cant then it will be on a rotate

hes got off his arse and set this up to save us having 337 polls/ discussions then not having the game so lets just support it. The intercasino challenge would never have happened (would have been threatened for years) without junior and me sorting it out and getting the players together (I am still getting earache now over omitted players believe it or not).

i agree ariston! - whereever you throw open options to such a large group you get varied and differing opinions.  Captains / chairpersons .. call them what you will should be elected and trusted with the decision to be taken in the interest of the majority. - in other words JFDI !!!!!!!

Right, lets make this simple. It is just as simple to set this event up on all Crypto skins so that all players can chose to play through whichever site they choose. Surely that is better than one attempt to railroad players through any one site which someone may have a vested interest in.

It is so easy to organise on Crypto in a way that gives all players access through any site.

 

as far as i know its not simple to set up a private event over all the skins

we can just do an invasion of an existing event (last option)

try to get one set up, if not we will have to rotate.

stars is simple and i will set up a stars event as soon as the betfair event is played

i will get in touch with support at a few crypto skins to see what they can offer us

Done that, thanks

Are the betfair poker accounts seperate from the betfair site accounts?

Mine are the same accounts.  But I did have the exchange accounts first.

BF poker and BF site use same A/C

BTW Ariston ..that RB deal net or gross?   ;D

25% of every raked pot you win. Eg money missing out of "your" rake that is missing from your pot. Stakes I mostly play it is the max of 75p for every pot won.

What a complete and utter cockup, what a waste of time and energy for those putting up polls and people voting in them.
Democracy at it's very best.

ifm, as the saying goes, "you cant please all of the people all of the time"  I personally feel that all the polls and discussion has turned what should have been a fun/spontaneous event into an absolute nightmare. when this idea was first mentioned by Red Dog, i bet he didnt think it would lead to all this....

So I for one welcome the action taken by Ironside and Ruru...... and personally  I dont care where the tourny is held, I dont care what the structure is, I dont care what time/day of the week it is...if I am available to play in it, i will, if I dont like it i wont play and thats about the long and the short of it.

Whatever the outcome, and whatever people decide to do , lets remember why we decided to do this.....FOR A BIT OF FUN!!!!
 

You no what

I do think the big dolops right

I agree, Essex Boy is right. Makes a nice change, eh?

Anyway, after all that heat, it's sorted now, and crypto have given us 500 as a bonus, plus free registration, so it was all worth it. So if you wanna play it via Betfair, you can, and if you dont, well there are all the other crypto skins available for you to choose from. Perfect!



Next case.

so what exactly is the crypto deal Ironsides sorted out. I got confused reading all the threads. could someone summarise it?

Crypto will add 500 to "our" competition.

It will be (I forget which) either 20 or $20.

It will be juice free.

The man that pulls the levers is going to arrange that tikay wins it. Or, to add credibility, tikay will bubble.

and do we have a date for this game? I know Ruru's will still run on Tuesday at 8.30, which I'm looking forward to

steph, whats the problems your having opening a Betfair account??

IM me and ill take you through it!

Any chance of a bounty on your head Tikay...if we get to knock you out we win a model train or something?

He said Thursday at 8.30!

It's being sorted today Adam. I really want all this heat to dissipate, but for the sake of record, the original poll was due to close yesterday, after which it was agreed we would set it all up. It did, & we are. The blondeites voted for Crypto, so that's where it will be. PokerStars was narrowly second, so it will rotate.

And I nominated Ironside to sort it all, & he's worked incredibly hard, for which I thank him on behalf of everybody. I have apologised to him for the flak he took, but he's a hardy soul, & I suspect it's water off a ducks back to him. The result was being pre-empted, but he stuck to his guns, closed the poll bang on time, negotiated the Crypto deal, & announced it, all within 4 hours of the poll closing.

How he managed to get Crypto to add 500 and make it juice free we may never know, but fair play to him, & to Crypto. So you can play in the Crypto one, or the Betfair one, or even the Crypto one via Betfair, or all or none.

Something for everyone.

I have rescinded 4 of Ironside's Yellow Cards by way of thanks. That just leaves 11.

thursday at 8.30  was it? ok
round of applause for Ironside for sorting the cyrpto rake free added value.

Yes, ironside did a great job. I think we all got a little impatient ( and for that I apologise ) but he certainly came up with the goods

A bounty on my head, or even a Mars Bar? I don't have a problem with that, but you guys might - supposing I win it, who gets the bounty then? Got to be realistic, you know. Seriously, as to a bounty, watch for the announcement.

I cant remember what night it is, but it will be officially confirmed today. If Ironside said it was Thursday, Thursday it will be.

Model train set? Enough Tight End. By the way, my model trains were always Hornby OO, they were easily the best.

Ruru's is not tuesday its Thursday! 23rd!

I think the blondeites should send Ironside a strippogram as a token of our esteem and gratitude.

 ;D ;D

don't. we'd need to have a poll on whicvh number to ring, which uniform she should wear, what hair colour she should have and then argue over a date, a time and a price

I'm all polled out.

LOL

a betfair private tournament sounds good guys, but remember that we are all playing for personal pride not the money!!

it will be a good crack and i look forward to joining could someone post the password or IM me please id be grateful

Tikay i cant find this moniker thing you said

Ben

Betfair tourney is being changed to the 27th to avoid a clash with the crypto-wide tourney. after that, we can all get behind the crypto tourney if it becomes a regular event  ;D IM me for password to the betfair tourney

Right i think there is some confusion here with regards the tourney's. So here you go:

1/ Ruru's Befair only Tourney

This is an UN-Official (multi table) tourney that Ruru set up for people to play on until such times as the Official Blonde tourney was finalised. As stated above, it is only availble through Betfair, No other Crypto Skin!

Date : Thursday 23rd June
Start Time : 8:30pm
Site : Betfair only!
Buy-in : 20 + No Registration Fee!
Bonus : 50 added to pot thanks to Betfair
Password : IM me for the password??

2/ The OFFICIAL Blondite Poker Tourney - as Set up by Ironside

Unfortunately, No one anticipated this being set up so Quickly, which means that it will fall on the same Night as Ruru's 'Betfair only' tourney posted above.

Details of this are as follows:

Date : Thursday 23rd June - As above tourney
Start Time : 8:00pm
Site : ALL Crypto sites will support this tourney
Buy-In : 20 + No registration Fee!
Bonus : 500 will be put into pot Thanks to ALL Crypto sites
Bounty : There will also be a bounty on my new father figure (Tikay's) Head = 100 Bounty Bonus!
Password : Not set up yet, Ironside will inform ASAP!

If like me you want to play in both tourney's your have to have the skills to Multi Screen!!

Hope this has Cleared things up, and people wont get mixed up between the Two...

...Remember, the OFFICIAL Blondite one is Ironsides, at 8:00pm BST!!

You do realise you have just totally messed up my post below yours lol  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Im going to a meeting now and dont have time to change it  >:(

Right Ok I think I have it now .... Well done all the movers and shakers in this mostly Ruru, Ariston and mainly Ironside ... It is for fun as previously mentioned ... and of course the outrageous bragging rights that will come with winning ..

Just one problem for a complete computer knucklehead like me .... which sites are the crypto sites ??... please please someone set up a list of the crytpo sites so that i can join in
