Title: A special thank you to blonde (and ironside) Post by: mikkyT on January 21, 2006, 10:05:27 PM I posted this on my blog earlier, I'll post it here too as it pertains to the wonderful people at blondepoker.com
Quote from: http://blogs.mikkysworld.com/ Tonight, at 18:00 GMT, the EPT Deauville qualifier began. I had won a seat to this qualifier via a smaller satelite, costing a mere 33 euros. At 21:23 GMT, this tournament finished, with this hand: Game #1476180984: Hold'em NL (300/600) - 2006/01/21 - 21:17:24 (UK) Table "EPT Deauville Final 1724591 - 1" Seat 6 is the button. Seat 3: mikkyT05 (43732 in chips) Seat 5: Stejill (12365 in chips) Seat 6: Ithicus (41403 in chips) mikkyT05: posts the ante 75 Stejill: posts the ante 75 Ithicus: posts the ante 75 mikkyT05: posts small blind 300 Stejill: posts big blind 600 ----- HOLE CARDS ----- dealt to mikkyT05 [:kd: :kc:] Ithicus: raises to 1800 mikkyT05: raises to 7200 Stejill: raises to 12290 and is all-in Ithicus: folds mikkyT05: calls 5090 ----- FLOP ----- [:3c: :8h: :8s:] ----- TURN ----- [:3c: :8h: :8s:][:7h:] ----- RIVER ----- [:3c: :8h: :8s: :7h:][:6d:] ----- SHOW DOWN ----- Stejill: shows [:ad: :qd:] (A Pair of Eights, Ace high) mikkyT05: shows [:kd: :kc:] (Two Pairs, Kings and Eights, Seven high) mikkyT05 collects 26605 from Main pot ----- SUMMARY ----- Total pot 26605 Main pot 26605 Rake 0 Board [:3c: :8h: :8s: :7h: :6d:] Seat 3: mikkyT05 (small blind) showed [:kd: :kc:] and won (26605) with Two Pairs, Kings and Eights, Seven high Seat 6: Ithicus (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Ooooh baby, I'm going to France! There where 2 seats available, and 3rd place took 987 Euros. At this moment in time, I feel ecstatic. I can't believe I managed to play so well. For the record, I would like to thank blondepoker.com and especially Ironside without whom I never would have bothered entering this event. I came 3rd in the blondepoker.com Omaha tournament at Littlewoods (http://www.littlewoodspoker.com/index.php?2636089) over xmas after Ironside dropped all his chips on me, netting £160 and a bottle of champagne. If I had not won that, I would not have had any money at a crypto site with which to enter this satellite and I doubt I would have bothered depositing. So my thanks to blonde for organising it and also thanks to Littlewoods (http://www.littlewoodspoker.com/index.php?2636089) for adding extra cash into the tournament. At this moment in time, I am finding it hard to think about the biggest tournament of my career so far. Although I am very happy, my thoughts are with my wife who is currently in hospital whilst doctors struggle to find out what the matter is. If she is still there when this event takes place, I'm not sure if I will want to go. EDIT: Added http://www.littlewoodspoker.com/index.php?2636089 links Title: Re: A special thank you to blonde (and ironside) Post by: SKIPPYSKIP on January 21, 2006, 10:09:10 PM Wee done MikkyT a great performance earlier, it was a clear run all the way and you hardly had to sweat, apart from the Th 2c lol

Title: Re: A special thank you to blonde (and ironside) Post by: thetank on January 21, 2006, 10:24:30 PM Hoozah, congratulations Mikky.
New you'd go on to greater things than being a bubble boy. Good luck in Frog, knock 'em dead. I'm really happy you got this seat (and not just because it means you'll be off the forum for a few days 8) ) Title: Re: A special thank you to blonde (and ironside) Post by: mikkyT on January 21, 2006, 10:27:38 PM Off the forum? I got 2000 euros to blow and I hear my hotel will have wifi ;goodvevil;
Title: Re: A special thank you to blonde (and ironside) Post by: thetank on January 21, 2006, 10:30:53 PM I'm sure your wife will turn out ok.
These things usually turn out to be nothing. Title: Re: A special thank you to blonde (and ironside) Post by: mikkyT on January 21, 2006, 10:33:52 PM I hope so too.... I'm trying not to think about it which makes me rather more daft than usual. But thats my way of coping. I know I come accross wrong when I do it. But if I'm not hyperactive, I'd break down into a manic depressive state.
Shes having problems with her liver. They can't work out the problem. They thought it was gall stones but it isn't so now they are clueless. Typical NHS. Title: Re: A special thank you to blonde (and ironside) Post by: MrMoves on January 21, 2006, 10:35:50 PM Enjoy it Mikky.
