Title: Notts tournaments
Post by: Jonny_Boy on January 13, 2006, 01:45:37 AM
Hi there, this is my first post, glad to come aboard if thats alright

Been playing online for about a year now and want to move to playing live more (played in vegas for a week won $1000, probably beginners luck)

Just wondering if Notts still have a beginners night or a cheap £10-20 freeze out, friday or saturday nights.

thanks a lot, awesome site

Jonny boy

Hi Jonny, welcome to blonde.

Just a shot in the dark, but you don't happen to work for Radio Derby do you?......

I have a nasty feeling about this......

Phew, that's a relief! A guyt I met today said he may join the site, but as events turned out, that may have been a bad thing......

Enjoy blonde mate. The peeps are well helpful on here.

The £20 rebuy is a bit manic. The £30 is probably safer. Good luck!

Hello and welcome to Blonde.

Full notts schedule is here:
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=5384.0

I recommend the weds night game - £20 buy in with 1 rebuy allowed, 6k starting chips and 25min clock.

It's also no smoking night, which is nice as the cardroom can be very smokey, although if you smoke that may be a downside.

We have alot of Notts blondites on here including myself so there is normal someone there. The 3 choices for a live beginner IMO are Tuesday Nights which is £10 NL rebuy limited to 3 rebuys (so max spend is £40). Or as outlined below here Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons. Welcome to Blonde.

These tournaments don't get filled up do they, or should i get there early?

Sundays and Wednesdays don't. Tuesdays do we often get 121 runners (max capacity). I would get there about 6:15 for 7:30 start on Tuesday to be sure.
