blonde poker forum

Hey to all.

My name is Lex and I have been a professional SNG player for the last 3 years. I currently play SNG's on Pokerstars under the name BALOTELLI9O.

I am looking to expand my real world contact base. Well by expand I mean start! All my poker contacts are online as I have only really played live a handful of times, and only a couple of times at Dusk Till Dawn. The standard was not great, probably par for the course in low stakes live MTT's, so I haven't really come across anyone who plays the game other than for fun, or as a hobby.

Anyone playing professionally or on a semi serious level in the Nottingham area?

Cheers guys.

Lex

Read the forum a bit?

(Edit: I suppose I should be more helpful. Read http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=51305.0 , 800+ pages, everybody who has ever played poker in Nottingham makes an appearance at some point)

Thats gonna take forever to read! But thanks :-)

Hopefully while I am reading it I might get some promising replies :-)

Lots of DTD regulars post on here sir

Stick around, look around and you'll soon learn which posters are DTD players

This thread for example talks about whats on at DTD each week http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=58083.0

DTD and blonde go back a long way, since before DTD opened eg...http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=3985.0


Welcome to blonde

Don't think anyone on here is from Nottingham

Hi sir,

You can find some gents from Nottingham in this very fine thread:

Hey this is our official ballotelli appreciation thread.

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=54379.0

Are you studying in Nottingham?

Haha!

No way:D

I had seen the text from the Mourinho interview but never the actual interview, so funny!

I always had a lot of success on the Euro networks with caps lock Italian usernames. Everyone seemed to think I was terrible and got really tilted when I won pots! A particular favourite was WANKERINO. It really seemed to send people over the edge!

I'm from Nottingham mate. I live with a few guys who all play professionally, mainly online, but I play at DTD on friday and saturdays and anytime there's a decent tournament at DTD we all play it. There's loads of pros about in nottingham actually. Yeh my diary was linked in the first reply in this thread by Skippy, no need to wade through it though!

Nice one!

To be honest thats the kind of thing I have been looking for. Apart from online contacts (and the are a fair few of those!) I have never actually met anyone who plays poker. Apart from Devilfish. Saw him at a bar in The Lace Market a few weeks back. Really nice guy! I am not too sure he was as too impressed with my SNG exploits though!

For some reason I can't send private messages. Maybe because I am a forum noob or something?

Would be interesting to chat further though. I have some ideas brewing for 2013 and one or two things that may be of interest to any fellow SNG professionals.

You can send pm's once you have 10 posts.

Welcome to blonde.

Thanks! Things seem a little more friendly than 2+2!!

1 more to go :-)

Chalk and cheese between here and 2+2, just can't compare it. Welcome to the forum. Not from nottingam but chances are if you get involved we'll have a beer at some point. Welcome!

You don't say!

Thanks :-) Hopefully i can offer some valuable input as well as some interesting humour!

Welcome to blonde..

Not from Nottingham, but there are a bunch of nice guys on here from Notts.

Good luck with your 2013 plans.

Hey Mate,

Welcome!

Im from nottingham great place to live for poker not from from dtd and not far from london. Best thing to do is take the live poker dive and get chatting in the club. The more you post on here and if people like you they tend to be ncie to you on the felt alsO! Real good group on here

Welcome

Morning Mr Balotelli, welcome to blonde.

I think you've had most of the replies you sought, but we do have a few lads here who play Online SNG's professionally, though not necessarily Nottingham-based.

"Longy" is local, & he made a living at them for donkeys years, not sure if he still does though.

"Mondatoo" is in Newcastle, but he just plays, or primarily, 180 man SNG's. His Diary is here.....

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=46739.0

"MC", or James Atkin, also plays them full time I believe.

"friendlier than 2+2"? I should hope so!

fyp

Yup still my primary source of income and still live in Nottingham. Though I am probably not what op is looking for as I rarely play live in the uk, just not my bag really.

I play 45/180/turbo mtts these days, I presume you play different sngs as I don't recognise your sn.

FYP :P

 :hello:

^ ;topman;

Quick scope reveals OP plays 'dem 6-max hypers.

Vaguely recall playing against you when I dabbled in them recently, I'm 'epitomised'.

Yes I play dem 6 max hypers. I recognise the name I think. There are so many regs who come and go its hard to keep track of everyone!
