blonde poker forum

Hello, My name is Adam Picken, I've been posting on Blondepoker for ages now, being active all over the forum including Poker Hand Analysis. I have previously sold action over blonde, for both live and online tournaments, with a modicum of success. I regularly post topics and reply to strategy threads, discuss hands live and on skype with high class players such as Pleno and Ben Martin (cheezies) and a variety of others both from blonde and elsewhere in life. I've played online MTTs seriously since December 2011, when i was staked by Stato1. Unfortunately this stake didn't work out, and i was eventually dropped whilst in makeup. However, since then I have carried on working extremely hard on my game, regularly talking to excellent MTT players in order to improve my game. I have reset my stats on sharkscope from the day i was dropped by Stato, mainly for personal records.

Last week was the worst in terms of poker results I've had in a long time, and in order to lower my variance/restore some confidence, I've decided to sell a decent size package for tomorrow. I typically play a similar schedule purely on my own backing, (more Omaha 8 and Hold'em) but have been working on my Omaha game recently. I feel like this package is good value for investors, I am one of the biggest winners in omaha 8 in the last 9 months, despite only getting into it significantly in November 2012. I have marked up these tournaments in what I consider a fair way, through my knowledge of fields. Some tournaments on the schedule I have not played that much, so in the next few days where I intend to sell as well, then I will be adjusting this accordingly. I reserve the right to skip tournaments if I feel they are unprofitable or if tablespace is too great. Every tournament on the schedule are the only ones I intend to play tomorrow, however, anything playedNOT on the package is purely on my action. This will mostly be 180s to fill some table space, however, i do intend to take it relatively slowly tomorrow. Later packages this week may include more NLHE, however, fields are extremely big on stars and I'm not 100% on table space for this line-up. I currently am down on NLHE on OPR, however, this is purely due to high buyins.

My Omaha sample is extremely small, but I final tabled the 33 Omania recently and have the confidence in my game!

50% is for sale, only selling on here. Any investors have the right to future action this week (hopefully playing at least this x3, if not I will offer it one day next week also, virtually no chance I play less than twice this week.) I have deals with other investors regarding weekends, so I cannot promise action on these days. Cheers guys!

Stars name: Demonic16 Bank Transfer available but not preferred. If investors could write whether they are interested in action over the next few days too, to reduce the amount of chasing up I have to do!

.

ill take it all, though if people want a sweat im happy to drop to 20% depending on what interest there is before it starts?

Okay, just started and regged up. Going to include 8 Game MicroMillions and 5.50 TKO 6m Micromillions and knock them off any returns. If I fail to return you've got a "sick" freeroll :)

8 Game should be fun, they have no real proper buyins for it in the tourney schedule, but I've been playing a decent amount of 2/4 8 Game in the last few months and am a small winner over 75 or so table hours.

No probs, just do a win, would hate to freeroll you :)

Grrr, guy with nutlow draw is a reg too.
Won't be providing too many HH today, I know Stato isn't a fan. I'm not hidden from search though.

No need to worry about hands, apart from using them to click buttons

Meh hour, had a huge stack in 33 plo8 but just lost a bit.

Bust one tourney in a frustrating manner, had a double gutter/top pair in lolmaha and i put it in guy had AA/sd/fd and we bricked. First hand I think I've made a mistake in. Got in 11r/5 Omania with AAxx 1 suit in both comps and lost both pots.

3/6 in 33plo8 two guys busted on the FT getting in 18bb with JT98 and JT96 vs a decent player with aces. Lawl. 408$ ftw, out of the 6 regs playing 4 are left in the final 6. Got a stack in big 5.5 coming up to the money too. Doubled in 5.5 Micromillions.

http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-hands/Boom/4116194_58637E4B18

Micromillions :( Lost a 30k pot orbit before JJ < QQ but got 3 Kos so only in for 5.80 with that and other earlier.

3/3 on FT, got called on a bluff about 5:04 and had to grind super hard. Got a big fish on my right whose loving the game and having a great time, managed to ladder nicely. 21/277 in big 5.50 as well.

edit: 3rd for 153, got it in twice ahead but 12bb spin no good :(

Missed last hours update due to dinner. Cashed hot 11 not sure what for. FT bubble 55 omaha 6 paid, made a bad peel pre, flopped ok but was actually stone dead to his hand! 24/62 big 5.50, v. annoyed with myself for one spot where i got clicked by a nitty gold star but put him in because of my image which is horrendous. Got a few stacks. Will check emails for cash at end of session, not had many rebuys. 1r in 3.30 and 5.50 atm.

Been railing big $5.50 a while. gl mate

Had AK when that guy rivered the 6, was probably calling a river bet too he was very splashy. Grinding it out now though :(

1/11 16.5 Omaha 370 ut
22/25 Big 5.50
74/151 Big 22
nearly 5x starting in 55 o8
decent stack 3r Omaha, 109 o8 table is good too :)

21st 5.50 99 > AJ
120ish not quite sure big 22 sigh. got big cl on 16.5O

Not quite closed the 16.50 Omaha but I virtually potted every hand for the last 35 mins. When I drag my instant hand history window down I've lost like 13 of the last 40 odd pots on show lol.#
edit:TID 371$

6/11 in 109, one of the softest I've seen in months, only 3 regs including me left in the 11.
9/12 in 55, not managed to push on, 8 paid there so good chance of grinding it out, already had an obscene amount of hands though. In 5 hands I had aces 4 times!

5/48 in 3r PLO

Insane 20 mins, locked up the win, make 109 ft but come 7th all the fish have all the chips all the reg grinders shorties, bust AA22ss into AQ56ds KTTxJ :(

Made FT of 55 but its all very tight, none of the top regs are on. Spanishfish is 3 to my left and a massive hamper to my style, Noduanrev is a Morrocan hero who loves the game, told off a whinging reg earlier saying "People like me pay your wages" what a boss. Looking forward to this. 4/9 atm, any decent cash is profit for the day I think. Pretty much even atm

Gl mate, railing them both

Just done totals, 667.25+ 24$ in returns. 1/8 in the 55, closed a lot from this spot, hoping for some decent profit!

Cheers Border, not ignoring you <3

ha ha dont worry, just interested in the game, do not play it! got a few of my own tables too! GL

Had a very close spot blind vs blind with the other big stack, I have AKKTss, and he has 3bet. I don't particularly rate him, he got it in horribly during the first hand I posted. I've run a few calcs and come out with 47% for me, probably not enough to put it in with the edge I think I have, however, its very close. Luckily I held. Ended up doing a win for 893.75, just sorting myself out and will sort returns. I'm going to run a similar schedule tomorrow, I'll have a look as I want to remove a few tournies and swap a few more NLHE in early, you in for 10 Border?

Wp mate, yeah, I will do 10 again, just post schedule and send any change :) hopefully my golden staking $$$ will continue

Just noticed a pretty big error in my spreadsheet, I calculated totals after markup by multiplying the buyins by average markup instead of adding it together! Pretty fishy. The proper total should have been 835.24.

667.25+893.75+24 (unused rebuys)+ 44(cancelled tourney)+ 16.76$ (markup miscalc refund)- 5.80 (Micromils)= 1640 (rounded up)



So 10% of that is 164

Tomorrows schedule is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AibNbEZNVeyydEV1bEFkaXJ5MFBEM3dpRlVET056eXc#gid=0
Put micromil events I'll play in properly, if I have tablespace for ante up I will add that in but I don't think its a wise idea to play it if 10 tabling which I was at that point tonight. Will go on the package if I play.

So 164-86.67= 77.33 which I'll send now.

Andy is owed 656 but hasn't sent from yday (before correct staking figure as it has already been added in) so balance is (656-340.8) 315.2 to Andy atm. His action for tomorrow is 346.8 currently.

If Andy doesn't post, I will rollover 40%. If he wants I will take an extra 10% (just post), if he wants to offload some to another poster that is also fine by me and they can post when  he gives the all clear. I'm quite happy to stand for most people on blonde for 10%, so that isn't an issue, although Stars before the session begins is also preferred. I will check all the maths in here tomorrow. Thanks a lot guys, and get in touch Drew.
Stato is rolling it over #leggggo
edit: Reduced markup on O8 MM as I'll prob latereg.

There was a huge Omahahahaha Fish on the $33 Omania FT last night mate! Was 1/7 with double 2nd and 5 bowl stacks, managed a 3rd. Sigh Omaha flips

gl today!

Cheers matey, how did rasterkops play? I have him marked down as a fish but I think he fted another tourney last night. Pretty decent score anyway!

Yeah he FT'd, cant remember who knocked him out ;whistle;

He was massive CL for a lot of the comp, but got pretty short on the FT

Struggling to get momentum, on the bubble of 11r but mincash doesn't cover what we were in for. Had a few gambles with one gappers 4/5 ways and couldnt win. Such a soft tourney. One guy had 95k when average was 17k. Average is now 27k and he has 27k. Clearly loving the game though!

Mincashed the 11r but really struggling, had 10 tables at the start of last break and just 3 now.

Some serious flair play from the opposition in the above hands. :( The T976 is pretty weird, probably fine with a suit but it would have been nice to hold :(

Keep at it, not been railing but appreciate the update, going somewhere with real cards and people...should be interesting

Gah, bubbled the 16.50 Omaha KK94ss into AQ77, the gentleman had been rather frisky playing 16/31 hands so far at the table. To be fair i had just beaten AAxx with KKxx so can't really complain. No good in the 55 o8 either which is frustrating. 109 O8 looks good again! That and 3r O8 left. Unregged from a few of the straight omahas as I've lost the heart :(

Gl with real chips!

Sums up the day, got crippled with AKQ5ss vs AK42ds, try and find a spin hand and wait to the bb... Will sort any returns out tonight/tomorrow. I imagine between mincashes and returns we broke pretty much even over the 2 days. GG all.

Ul mate, good effort

Cashed for 59.30+9+10.27+3 (kos).= 81.57
Rebuys: 2 over in 11r PLO 1 saved 5 rebuy PLO8= -20+6.63= 13.37
Returns for cancellations: 24.2+12.1+9.68= 45.95

Total= 140.89

Will send 14.09 to Border now.

Stato had a balance of 315.2. His action was 346.8. Returns= 56.36

315.2+56.36= 371.56                         371.56-346.8=24.76. I'll get that sent over now.

Cheers guys, nice to freeroll but really wanted a score.
