blonde poker forum

It could happen...DTD are laying a £50,000 sponsorship deal on the table for a golden chip entered winner of the grand Prix.

Stupendous, amazing, unreal, WTF etc. etc. all for a £50 tournament.   ;yippee;

So the question is this...what tournaments would you like to play and how often if it was you...time to dream.

Please state if you are recreational, amateur or pro so we can all get some idea of what tournaments blondes would be aiming for.

for the sake of the thread lets use the following groups (not strictly speaking correct I know but near enough for comparisons).

recreational...likes to play live every few weeks and never relies on poker to pay the bills.
amateur...likes to play live at least every week if not 2-3 times a week but probably works aswell
pro...likes to play live nearly every day and uses their poker to pay the bills etc.

smurf - recreational

I honestly wouldn't have a clue where to start, I think I would enter all DTD £300 buy ins, look for other £300-£500 tournies around the UK to get a bit more experience then further down the line look to enter some £1K tournies.

The end goal would be a few weeks in vegas to play several $1K or $1.5K wsop events.

Any tournaments abroad would be based around a holiday...so for example if I wanted to enter any caribbean adventure side events i'd probably want 2 weeks holiday with a week or so to play poker in between.

I would never be able to play every week due to work and family so would play every 3 weeks or so...this would probably mean the £50K would stretch well past a year.


fire away...it could be you!

side rule...let's not get too bitchy with each other...anyone could win it   :)up

Aussie Millions and Vegas main + sides at both.

Lol pro.

PS Gotta flick in an EPT as well.

You're assuming your bosses at McDonald's would allo you the time off.

Amateur

One Drop for me.

My stamina is not what it was.

There's a joke there somewhere. Not quite sure what it is but I know it's there.

rofl!

I'd place myself in the rec category. I think I'd mix an element of BRM with a few one-off shots that I'd otherwise never get to play, so...

- DTD £300-500 deepstacks & GUKPTs would probs account for £25k
- remaining £25k would go into WSOP ME & 2 EPTs (probs Barcelona & Prague), with the change covering spends/accomm  :D

Chance would be a fine thing...

Every £5rb I could find. Nothing over a £30 buying ever




Free poker for life ;karabiner;

Stick to the 50quidders for sure.

I am a rec player, even though I always be hogging around in all the satellites in the DTD online room! I have never played anywhere else live apart from DTD and in Wembley ( thin, I know!)
Guess my aim would be to play every monthly deepstack tournaments at DTD/Monte Carlo. Then, may be slightly venture in EPT London and UKIPT.

Anyone know the T's n C's of the £50k deal?

Nicola, Tighty?
Restrictions, plan, publicity, etc?
Travel, buyin, location etc??

this was Simon's comment on the Grand Prix thread

"No, the choices would be entirely up to the player, the exposure of someone winning would be more important, what they play would be down to the individual's choice, although the odds of a £50 Grand Prix player punting £50K on a High Roller would be small, ironically this would probably get us more exposure."

If I win ( NO CHANCE ) , I will only play all big comps such as the EPT, WSOP & WSOPE main events only . So at least if I cash , I will get minimum of couple of grands . Dream on babe

Seems a strange idea to have options then since u can just use £7500 of your win to play the CPP anyways..??

If it were me, I'd love to use it to play 3 'sets' of festivals throughout the year...

Something like UKIPT + EPT London and some sides/ GPS Event and sides/ WSOP schedule, including ME buyin obv...

It's just an awesome prize. What i like about it is it is purely poker money / poker bankroll - no considerations of holding x back for living/out of poker stuff, just clear poker tourney bankroll. Youd have to be a complete degen to not exercise a decent level of mtt brm with 50k too (particularly with it being advertised)!

Would be absolutely epic to talk to a few on here and ask for them to put you in touch with others and do the whole lot on the HORSE players championship next year.

Imagine that......

Spend the whole year grinding all the games getting competent if not tasty in some.  Just to go for the big bracelet against the biggest players.
