As I've yet to meet most of you Blondes I was wondering who was going from this side of the fence? Let me know so I can look out for you.. I'll be the one in ORANGE, looking like a ;flushy; playing like a ;flushy; and downing bitter like a ;flushy;

Come and say :hello: I love putting posts to faces...

Oh, and if I do a bink, the bitter is on meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

TRIP5

In.

6ft 1, 12 stone, athletic looking, if you can't find me, ask thewy, scotty or Tikay to point me out.

For those who do not know her, Irene - TRIP5 - is a grandmother in her mid-fifties, of similar build to Vinni, got a grand-daughter @ Uni, & is a Bradford City fan.

On a more serious note, she was quite ill last week, with pneumonia, but seems to be on the mend. On a brighter note, if she fails to recover in time, a further seat can be released for sale.

 

Will TV's Tony 'tikay' Kendall and Richard 'Defectors' Orford both be playing in this event?

just the former. Equal value, but more wear on the tyres.

I'm in.

I will be the quiet bloke nursing the short stack.

It would be useful to me and probably save some time if you could all post a picture of yourselves and make a short statement regarding your gender.

More to the point, will YOU be playing it, snoops? Has Lord Channing given you a pass for the weekend?

Hope so - would be good to see you. I'll bring an ostrich.

I can help with that!!!

Name: Toni 'tightcheeks' Kendall
Gender: Wannabe woman

Mr Goulding is on the player list

Ooh you are awful!

rotfl comedians everywhere.

Watch out people Irene bites.

He had a bit of athelete's foot, next thing you know he is atheletic looking....

I will be there but only playing Saturday side event!!

Then again u know me!

I quite fancy this as it goes.  How does this work?  Do I just buy in on Sky Poker and then I am good to go?

Yes for £220

Be quick though 143 of 160 have gone and you've got 36 hours tops til it sells out

make sure you say hello!  I'll be the one with the chest in the direction of tikay's leer.

What are the times for Saturday and Sunday please? I think I'll find out on Friday if I can attend... Might need your help Tony!

2pm both days

I will PM my mobile, if you are definitely coming but all the online seats are sold ring me or tikay

Reg'ed.  Presumably I can dereg if I really can't make it.  Now a couple of q's....

1. Are there many betting shops near the G in Luton.  If so can someone tell me which firms and where they are exactly?
2.  How late can I show up?
3. Are there any sides on Friday night?
4. Does the G in Luton still have most ridiculous dress/door policy ever?

Claw - I am Redarmi on Sky too but if you need to find me I will be the one that is desperately trying to find Tikay so I can find out what direction he is staring in!!!

1 the casino is less than 5 minutes walk from the main shopping area. This has the major bookies chains on it. From memory Laddies for sure

2 Your chips will be in play from hand 1, show up when you like but before you blind away

3 Yes £100 NLHE F/O 8pm

4 Yes but less so this weekend. trainers and hoodies fine. no football tops, ripped jeans


Say hello to me too please, athletic looking stressed guy

Think I have been rumbled.

I was at Luton for some event or other which was Live Streamed, & I had the microphone perma-attached, so I could "walk & talk" the Tables. At some stage it appears the phrase "get your tits out Claire" was aired.

Be great to see you.

They have an area of the Casino (NOT the cardroom) where public wifi is available, so you can place bets Online if you wish. They call it the "Sports Betting Bar", which appears to be 4 sofas & 2 tellys.

Try & get there big man, it will make Vinni & Tighty look athletic.

Might see you @ ICE tomorrow, when I gather you are meeting with representatives from the UK's greatest bookmaker.

tikay has his own jet?

Literally all of the bookies that I can name, have a shop minutes from us.

Stuart

Parkup in the casino car park

Walk up by the front entrance.

Turn right down the hill to the end of the road

There, turn left and walk into a pedestrian precinct

Bookmaking managers will tremble in your presence within 2 minutes of you parking up

Come and see me as well as I'm a pro punter (poor breastage though) and it would be good to talk systems, banks, arb, max bets etc.

Other pro punters, Chompy, Sicilian and Pizzled also there so we can have a proper round table.

Ahh....  That's what they are. I thought professional punters were people who made money from gambling.  ::)

Less of the cheek if I see you tomorrow...

I'm odds on to play at the weekend, odds against to make the first break.

redarmi meets Chompy should be quite something, one a proper punter bloke, the other a Celeb Big Brother specialist. Nirvana is usually to be found in the Car Park.

Don't forget to say "Hi" to Cardroom manager George, aka "gourgoueuoeous Gorge" as recently featured in china mug's missives. He's a terrific lad, & his suit will fit him eventually, once he puts on 3 stone.

Jeff Buffenburger has confirmed he is playing, you'll struggle to find a better bloke, always smiling. Bit aggo at the table, though. He & I got the lot in pre in a Fessie event there once in Level 1, & my 4-2 was ahead. Truly. And yes, we both had full stacks.

at least you knew you were wired up. sigh.

Just registered online. I was number 146/160 so there seem to be 14 seats left.

Site also says 12pm start, but I'll  rely on Tighty's 2pm.

See you at the weekend, Lucky, and yes, 2pm, and 15,000 chips, the Online Lobby is incorrect. Tighty's fault, obv.

Proper structure Tone?

Same structure as DTD £300 I think, Tom. Obv, they copied us. 45 minute clock.

Looking like 190 runners, so £38,000 prize pool.

Thanks & looking forward to it - my first Sky Poker event.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mini-Blonde on tour bash ;)

Ahhh 2pm is much better for me and makes me, I think, a definite.

Irene, Thewy and Scotty are not going to be impressed that you omitted them.......

Say hello to Jeff from me please. Haven't seen him in years.

I made possibly my most outrageous ever bluff against him about 8 years ago.

I would never show it normally, but because I knew he'd appreciate it I showed him.. He didn't stop giggling for about 15 minutes!

Plus when I was embrolied in "wankergate" with Tony G.. he offered to stake me in a 50k head up match with the Aussie.

Top man Mr Buff!

Unfortunaly Sir Spangledonk will not be in attendance. He has his kids this weekend and has been unable to dump them off somewhere, so has to give it a miss.

That's a great shame. Maybe that is why he was so grumpy on the Luton thread yesterday!

Yeah, I have noticed he has had a lot of pent up frustration and anger problems of late. Weird.

Shame! Was looking forward to meeting the leg end ;)

No - I'll still be there.

Good luck blondes :)

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=3916.0

Jen definitely won't be impressed.

hi guys just registered on blonde, im in the spt....not sure for how long though! (-:

Direct buy in on Sky Poker will close at 4pm today and no more satellites

Me too...although I barely deserve to be included on a list of Blondes!

I'll be the Strawberry Blonde one moaning in the corner about a bad beat...

I'll be there and I'm travelling down for the Friday tournement too :)

11 players have now contacted me today, trying to get a seat. Several complained that the Lobby for this event on SkyPoker.com is now closed. Seats have been available for around a month, I believe.

There are NO MORE direct buy-ins available via Sky  (http://affiliatehub.skybet.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_4080b_3)Poker (http://affiliatehub.skybet.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_4080b_3), & of the allocation of 30 we gave G-Luton, 31 (!) have been sold, or won.

There ARE still a few seats left - capacity has been upped to 200, & 181 have been sold, with 2 or 3 more "reserved". So, around 15 seats remain, & these can only be purchased at the Cardroom Reg Desk in Luton, for cash - there are no other means.

As always with SPT, those who finish in the Cash will receive payment via their Sky  (http://affiliatehub.skybet.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_4080b_3)Poker (http://affiliatehub.skybet.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_4080b_3) Online Account on Monday or Tuesday, & payment in cash at Luton will NOT happen. So, if you think you may cash, & are buying in direct @ Luton, you'd best open an Account.......

Seats for sale on Saturday only, from about midday.

Luton are not now selling seats until Saturday to allow me time to co-ordinate and to minimise the risk of over-selling

In, for my Luton Debut! Looking forward to playing against the other half of the Blonde clique :-)

Unfortunately I am not going to be able to attend.  An unexpected opportunity has come up to spend the weekend with my Godson who I haven't seen for about 18 months and I am not going to miss it for a poker tournament.  I don't see any way that I can dereg now but I am 100% definitely not going to be able to attend so Tikay if you want to sell the seat to someone else then feel free.  If your T&C's don't allow you to refund the money and you find a way to swing it then feel free to give the money to Marie Curie given the great job they apparently did with Claypoles Dad.  Also TK I am going to do a transfer of the money I owe you for 5% of Claire.  If you don't want to sell it given I won't be there now or whatever that is cool just drop a message on the thread and we can figure out the money later.

Shame as I was really looking forward to finally meeting a few of you guys but there will be other chances.

They won't refund, but I will try and find a replacement for you and let you know

Good luck to all Blondes today especially the multitude of regs...even Nirvana :)

Pizz Celtic or Mr Galloway ftw !

Bugger - sort of! Was looking forward to meeting, & sharing our high-quality betting strategies.......but yes, godsons beat Poker, all day every day.

Your seat - yes, we WILL sort it somehow, there will be a £220 refund owing to you.

The Claire deal - remains "as is" afaic, you owe me £20 or whatever it was - I forget. No need to tx it, put it on the slate, we can settle it whenever.

Enjoy the day with your young Goddy.

Good luck to everyone at the SPT

Just getting sorted to make the beautiful trip to Luton now.  Oh the sites I will see.  Road works, motorways and Luton.  Pretty.

Also on me way down only 3o min drive for me though!looking forward to it.good luck all

Yeah, thanks, like, and after I've spent weeks railing your hoop picks. Marv.

Shame you're not going redarmi, would've been good discussing pro-puntering with someone other than Nirvana.

We've got £220 cash for you, will contact you next week to online transfer it back

lolz thought u were only threatening to go.... gl chomps win a trophy.... a first for you

GL to the Blondes!!!

Lovely day one at Luton.  I've mentioned it before next door but last year I really started to despise live poker.  Staring at 9 stony Ipod-ed faces not uttering a word and dealing with angle shooters for hours on end really made me lose the love for it.  However the starting table I had yesterday was tons of fun and reminded me of why I started playing poker many years ago.  Sharing a table with Red Dog, Trip5, Lottery Jim and many more Blonde, local and Sky was a great laugh, it really was a lot of fun.  So thanks guys for reminding me how this game should be played and good luck all for Day 2.

I think 17-10 is me. I'm definitely still in, anyhow.

Is there just one side event today, the usual 8pm one?

Yup.

To be honest I think Glen is a great player and due a good result.

To be honest I think you're right.

To be honest i think his nearly as good as the sicilian, but can't quite bring myself to say the 'g' word. obv rooting for a big chop ;)

Tighty to Skippy after he'd knocked in the chip lead to finish 8th: "Well, that went well".

Mr Thew Sky does it again

Julian Thew of Team Sky Poker added another title to his impressive display of tournament victories, including an EPT and three GUKPT's, with victory in the third leg of the 2011-12 Sky Poker Tour in Luton this weekend. Julian beat 199 other runners to the title and the £11,200 first prize. With his win Julian shot to the lead of the new Sky Poker Tour Leaderboard, helped by a runners up finish in the £100 side event the night before the Main Event.

The 200 Main Event competitors produced a sell-out event, with many qualifying online on Sky Poker for as little as £5. Julian beat Sky Poker regular Shaun "Shaun 1972" Cook Heads Up when turning two pair with 8-2 on an Ace high board to outdraw Cook's Ace-Jack. Other cashers included SkyPoker analyst Carlo Citrone and renowned poker blogger Adam "Snoopy" Goulding.

The Sky Poker Tour now moves to dual events on 10th March, in Glasgow and Brighton. Satellite Qualification for these events begins later this week on www.skypoker.com

Re the Dragonfli memorial ribbons:

I roped Samantha25 into helping me bully-sell the ribbons in memory of dragonfli and thanks to the generosity of everyone that attended SPT Luton we managed to raise...(drum roll....)


A HUGE thank you to all Blondes that donated and wore the ribbons with pride on both the Saturday and the Sunday!!! Tikay will be transfering the money to Dragonfli's charity once the remainder of online pledges are transferred!!!!!

xx

Well done!!

+1

was lovely to meet you Irene

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Claw-Bird!!! Apols for the bear-hug.. you are tinnnyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! And MUCH younger than I thought!!!

Hopefully next time we'll be able to grab a beer and a chin wag!!

xx

hmmm - so I either come across on here as much older than I am or look much younger.  I'm gonna kid myself it's the latter :D

Hi Stu ("redarmi"),

As Tighty mentioned, we managed to sort it so that you got a £220 refund, which I now have, in cash, upon my person.

If you can PM me your Bank Details, I will tx the cash to you.

I received the cash you sent me for the stake in Claire, thank you.

Hope you are well, not seen you on here for a few days.
