Title: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Claw75 on January 27, 2006, 01:22:21 PM ....to Blondepoker and poker in General! I met Heid at a Betfair marketing thingamejig earlier in the week and she recommended popping along here - apparently you're a great bunch of friendly people, so don't shatter my illusions just yet!
Anyway, about me. I'm Claire, 30, live in Middlesex with partner and 3 year old daughter and work for civil service. Been playing poker online (Betfair) for only a couple of months - mainly very low stake STTs. Still very much learning the game (but keeping head above water now after losing a fair bit of cash first few weeks by playing like a muppet) and enjoying it immensly. No live game experience yet, but feel about ready to have a go as and when the opportunity presents itself. I've had a quick scout around and this seems like a good place to come for constructive comments on play and general badinage, so no doubt I'll be back! (think I recognise a couple of names from tables too?) Look forward to chatting soon! Claire x Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie......

Nice introduction. :respect: Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: tikay on January 27, 2006, 01:39:15 PM Hi Claw, How you choose THAT name? Hand Analysis - we have a Board especially for that, give it a whirl, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the responses you get. Live Poker - DO try & give it a go, it's a blast! Let us know where you intend to make your debuit, & I am sure a few blondeites will be there to look after you. That's a blonde thing. "Middlesex"? Where I spent the first 30 years of my life in Middlesex, but I thought it had disappeared. But I moved from Middlesex to Gods Country, Derbyshire, where I spent the next 10 years. Well, 12. OK, 15 is as far as I'm prepared to go. Enjoy blonde! Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Wardonkey on January 27, 2006, 01:39:46 PM :hello: and ;welcome;

Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Heid on January 27, 2006, 01:59:15 PM Hiyas Claire :)
Welcome to Blonde :) It was really lovely meeting you at Betfair :) it was an interesting night wasn't it? I found it really interesting that the group of us poker players were as a whole uninterested in betting, as we saw it in a completely different light from playing poker. I think from the sort of questions the interviewer was asking us, Betfair didn't quite expect us to be like that! After dinner, we loaded up the poker client on the laptop where we were sat, and Jack the Betfair man (the cute one), came over and loaded us up some money courtesy of Betfair,a nd told us what we had at the end he would stick the equivalent in all our accounts. Betfair plopped 140 quid into my account yesterday<g>. We hit the .50/1 buck tables :) That doesn't include the come and see us fee :) Enjoy Blonde, there is an awful lot of good info here, and a lot of fun :) Heid xx Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie......

I wish Betfair would top up my acc, I would go on for hours telling them any drivel, their marketing dept wanted to hear. Oh and welcome Claire, have fun. Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Heid on January 27, 2006, 02:26:35 PM Oh we put the world to rights in their board room Eric <g>.
Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Claw75 on January 27, 2006, 02:28:43 PM Cheers for the welcome everyone!
Tikay - the name Claw is just my initial and the first three letters of my maiden name - very boring and nothing to do with a penchant for long fingernails or the like! Hi Heid - yes it was a good evening. Am gutted I didn't hang around longer now! I thought the plan for the rest of the night was just to watch Celeb BB on that big screen so decided to toddle off - Bah! Oh well I'll know better next time. right, better get back to serving the public! Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: SKIPPYSKIP on January 27, 2006, 02:35:54 PM :hello: ;welcome;

Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Scottish Dave on January 27, 2006, 03:52:11 PM hi claire, a very warm welcome to you.
do you play under the same name as here 'Claw75' i think i may have seen you on betfair, that is where i usually crave my poker fix. Scottish Dave Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Claw75 on January 27, 2006, 04:08:28 PM Hi Dave,
yep - I'm Claw75 on there too - thought it would be less confusing to keep the same name on here. Your Crypto name rings a bell too, so indeed might have bumped into you once or twice! Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Scottish Dave on January 27, 2006, 04:10:15 PM its under my picture:
On Crypto (which is Betfairs network) im 'daviebhoy' Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: rivered on January 27, 2006, 04:15:06 PM Hi Claw, welcome!
You probably met my better half at the Betfair night. Think she was in your group too. She was just as gutted when she found out that Heid cleaned up after you both left!! Oh well, know for next time... Enjoy! Now Heid.. about this cute guy I wasn't told about... ;-) Title: Re: Hello from a Newbie...... Post by: Sark79 on January 27, 2006, 05:40:56 PM Hi, how are you.
