Later today it is my chance to defend my Winamax Highroller title.

The last time I sold some was here http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=62227.0   (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=62227.0)

The reasons to invest are much the same as last time.  I know I won this  last time, but the sample size of 1 makes it fairly meaningless

Brief Update.  Since then I have paid off some mortgage, done OK away from Stars, but run absolutely terrible on Stars.  So I am here again. 

The price is the same as last time 105 Euros for 10%, 52.5 Euros for 5%. 

I will sell in 5% chunks only.  I have reserved 10% for Ed and 5% for Tikay.  If that isn't confirmed by 3pm tomorrow, those bits will be available for general sale. 

If I win any prizes/sponsorship on top of the cash, I get to keep that.  Just to be open, last time they sent me a magnum of Champagne, which was unexpected.  I assume nobody is going to get grouchy because they never got their flute, but don't think there was a sensible way to divide it.

I will update at the breaks in the thread.

Let's do this for Roy.

Tikay has 10%, so only 10% left.

Rest - or 5pc - read it again as I thought u meant 5pc max but indeed is 10pc cool?  So yeah rest.

I'll take the 10 please, stars transfer in the morning ok?

Edit - misread OP too, is it 5% max or only multiples of 5?

I was probably unclear.  Ryan can have 10.  I will make it 35 total and Dan you can have 5 for now too.   If Ed doesn't get back you can take 10.

Team Lightning.
Tikay (10)
Ryan (10)
Dan (5)
Ed (10) reserved.

Sold out.

In for the 10 evidemment.

Assumes deets are the same as before? Will ping over.

Allez!!

Details are as before or you can send to bullstopper on Stars.  If anyone needs bank please PM.

Good luck today Ryan.

With you now by BT.

Bon courage.

Thanks.  Have sent on stars.  Repeat of last time please :)

meh, gl doobs and team

GLGL Doobs.

Sent on stars in euros, glgl

I gave got all the money.  Ready to go. 

Cheers all.

Bit gutted to miss out on the F1 style celebrations, but ah well.

VBOL this time around too!

Thin

Got 2 aggro players at the table and keep getting hands and missing.  Got about 18.5 vs 20 starting.  Could easily have 40k or 0k at the next break.

A7s < KK SB vs BB on 7 high flop :(  Maybe could have got away.  6k or so. 

Thread title is correct.

99<JJ<AK all in pre just before break.

It might have been 88, though doesn't matter.  It went min raise, AK call, shortie shoves in BB, I shove over the top, AK calls.  Meh

Tant pis. Pretty sure we remain comfortably ahead :)

Will also not strike twice for me too.  We suck.  Knew changing my username was a bad idea

You can change your user name?

yeah they started allowing it in the new year.  go to my account.  one change every 6 months.

Here's the blurb on changing screen-names on winamax. Think this article was published during the Xmas holidays.

Oh dear.

Such is life, but no regrets or complaints here.

Thanks for the opportunity. My plans for early retirement are now cancelled.

Not sure I know where to stand on this one.  I expect the only changers will be regs and cheats, so it really does nothing to stop the bumhunting.  I assume you average rec just isn't going to be aware of this.  Betfair used to be terrible at spotting name changes*, but you could spot some of the cheats due to the location and play pretty quickly.  Let's just say you weren't ever joining a 6 handed table with 3 people from a certain Eastern European country on it, even if you actually didn't recognise a single screen name.  Well the very fact you didn't recognise any of the screen names gave it away anyway. 

Maybe Winamax is going to be proactive, and try hard to encourage all their losing accounts about the ability to change?

Not sure I am going to change.  I guess if everyone else does, I am going to have to, but I really don't like it much.   

* well to be frank on Betfair, so many of the people on high rakeback deals changed their names in one brief period, that it was hard to conclude that Betfair weren't the ones who instigated it.
