blonde poker forum

this is a post just to clear things up, after reading posts and a few messages i have read, it has become apparant that a number of u find me arrogant. i would like to appologise to anyone i have offended with my posts, things dont always sound the way they should when written. As for the 2 posts causing huge debate (folding A A  and Q Q  preflop) ive given the impression i fold monster hands all the time. these were only 2 situations in 2 tourneys out of the 377 i have played, the only point i have been trying to make is that there is certain situations when u need to fold monster hands preflop, there was a reply to the Q Q preflop that said if wanted to win the tourney i should of called, the reason i folded is because i wanted to win, if i call and lose that hand im down to 14,000 in chips with blinds going to 2000/4000, i folded because i was comfortable in 3rd with 128,000 and did not need to gamble, id played 16 hands and won 15 of them. i can still easily win the tournament from here, its gonna be pretty hard with 14,000 chips and blinds going 2000/4000, the way i play poker and play my opponants i did not need to call and double my stack with this hand to win the tourney, i have enough belief in my ability that i dont need to gamble with my whole stack to win tourneys, whether i finished that hand with 128,000 or 260,000 didnt make a difference to me in winning the tourney, whether i finished the hand with 128,000 or 14,000 did matter to me, i respect everyones opinion and as i said this is 2 situation from 2 tourneys, the chances of me folding A A preflop again is very very rare (probably never happen) i respect everyones opinion, take care and have fun

No offence taken ...I wish you good luck ..the same as I do all BLONDES

Hi Mystery, just to point out I DO not find you at all arrogant, and enjoy reading your posts, carry on m8 all good stuff, dont worry about it  :)up

There is no need to appologise mate, You have your opinion and others have theirs, TBH i found that your opinions caused some good debate, and I'm sure no one had taken any offence. Keep posting as I am sure your opinon's though controvesial to some are appreciated as they offer a different facet to the game that some dont consider.

 :)up :)up

I look forward to playing against you in Cincins

BTW hurry up and change the name of the newmanseye  the fish thread, I'm getting a bad rep   :D :D :D

Not arrogant at all , i too enjoy reading your posts  ;slavedriver; on more  :)

No problemo, but then again I'm on Bus Stop 9 and don't really care (sorry, you'll have to see EPT live section to understand what on earth I'm waffling on about.)

There are many worse than you on here, mystery.  Good luck to you.   :)up 

Mystery no problem at all and must admit agree 99% of the time in your posts

Take Care

Arrogant?  Yes, that is the way you come across, whether intended or not.  Mind you, there are are a fair few of us that would have to plead guilty to that charge. High horses are mounted and dismounted with great regularity. If we all agreed there would be nothing to discuss.

Offensive?  Hell, no. Anything is fair game as long as it doesn't descend into personal abuse.

Keep posting because:
1. We love a good argument on the Hand Analysis board  ;tk;

2. The grammar nazi in me wants to see if you can achieve the first 1,000 word post on Blonde that doesn't contain a full stop  :D

3. I want to see how you cope if your $5,000 heads up challenge is accepted and your opponent simply goes all in every hand.  You can win 10 before he wins 3?  Perhaps that should be a new topic for discussion.....


On a different topic, is there a link for the Ladbrokes 2005 leaderboard?  What is your name on that site? 

 :goodpost:

No need to appologise mate, character is what this place is all about, and whilst there are a fair few sensitive souls, most of the banter here is light hearted. Whilst we have to watch what we say at times so as not to offend others who may be of different backgrounds to ourselves and have a different outlook on the world, I don't think you have spoken out of turn.

ladbrokes leader board for 12barblues

Who gives a stuff about the laddies leader board...

I want to know if he can win a 33 euro satellite to the EPT in Deauville, on crypto in the sixpak tourneys without playing hands like  Tc 2c or the monster  4h 7c (must admit, I folded 7h 4d today and I feel ashamed. But I put a guy out on the final table with doyles hand so that makes up for it)

Where is he on the leaderboard anyhow?

Apparently 14th.  krykkulf ??

Apparently 14th last year, so no and i can only find the top 10 from last year.

he said he was 14th on last years leaderboard, I will find out who that was next week, the link is for this years leaderboard.

do u all want my ladbrokes alias that bad? lol.............lodger ive lost count of the amount of times uve mention me in ur daddy report, but u go and have a check then ull know who i am

If you don't want me to post your laddies username, then I will respect that and will not post it.

Same here, except for the agreeing part, thus far its about 13%.

Hey Mystery,

We are all entitled to our opinion and although you do come across as arrogant in some of your posts it isnt a problem. It would be dull if we all had the same views. The banter is just that - banter - I dont think any offence was given or taken.

Good luck m8

jezza

lodger i am on this forum for a good bit banter where noone knows who i am, if i wanted people to know who i was i woulda stayed in the ladbrokes forum, uve seen the abuse a j and others get, thats why im here coz i can freely chat without the abuse/pressure of everyone knowing who i am! uve seen the ladbrokes forum, noone likes the winners

I had a look through some of your posts after reading this one. You don't seem arrogant, and so what if you were, never apologise for having a personality. I enjoy reading most of the posts on blonde as everyone contributes in different ways. By reading differing opinions on subjects, we aquire knowledge from many different stances and further our learning process. This is a positive thing. Keep the posts coming mate. Good luck.

You won't get abused here mate, though anonimity is hard to achieve when you say you were 14th in the laddies list (it can easily be looked up)

Last years leaderboard has been moved from the public domain.

Shame, I was first last year  8)

No, you were second. I was first. It was close though.  8)

Rule #1 for keeping your identity a secret....

Don't tell everyone and their mother that you're trying to keep your identity a secret.

ssssshhhhhh, I am trying to keep my anonimity

I demand a recount  :D
