blonde poker forum

The final 16 settling down to start in a few minutes.  After 2 hours sleep and a dash of rum most of the blonde contingent feeling less perky than yesterday, but Tikay escaped last night so is hopefully rested and ready to make the final.  We wish them all luck... (list of final 16 near the end on 300 freezeout thread)

Wish Tom Burns all the best from Ginge please

Hi Jen, I will be here untill the end. looking forward to your updates

Who else is there? (blondites I mean)

Hi Reddog, Jo here!  Bit worse for wear today.  Ironside, Malc, Rob and myself are all here to cheer on Tony sporting hangovers.

J

Gl any remaining blondeites.

Also, good luck to Tom Burns. He'll be able to buy the Blues if he wins this one.

Hi Jo, it was lovely to meet you last night. I hear there was a little game back at the hotel, please dish the dirt

any news on jackie reardon?

First casualty B. Callinan whose AK saw a flop against Steve Jelinek. The 8 J A flop looked promising, but when it was all-in on the turned 9 Jelinek's Q 10 had become a monster. His chips are now about 85000 (remember he was down to one lonely chip yesterday!)

Blinds 800 1600.

S. Smith doubled up after Jim Reid attempted a button blind steal, so I am told... 15 left.

P.S. I passed on the Good Luck to Tom Burns who asked "Is he here?" but seemed happy to hear from you - doing well after coming back today 2nd in chips

Unlucky Ben, but he's won a seat in the biggie in Vegas so he MUST still be smiling.

Jackie Reardon (short stack) is not quite so short any more after a triple-up against S. Smith and Dave Smith - the latter's AK lost to her A10 after the flopped A was followed by a 10. She was all-in preflop though, and Dave's reraise got rid of the third player. She is now on about 18000.

well done jackie!!!

RedDog - you are going to have to wait for tournament report to get the full dirt on the degenerate hotel-conference-room gambling and rum consumption... good news is an quite prepared to dish it.... Much fun however.  Less sleep than is ideal, so need full focus on the final 15 :)

hello all nice to meet some of u last night 

Out in 15th is P. Granger, again taken down by Steve Jelinek, whose A10 put him in better shape than Granger's J10 on the 9 10 7 K board. The pairing 9 on the river made no difference whatsoever, and J's chips are seriously starting to stack up... I estimate 110000

Dang!! another walsallite bites the dust, unlucky Paul

Reddog,  Jo again!  As Jen said a full report will follow on last nights alcohol fuelled hotel tournaments .... but as a taster .... some quotes :

Jen to Malc:  "You're massive"

Malc to Jo "Why is 6,9 called The Big Lick?"

Rob to Ironside  "Told you I had gills"

I am surviving today on 2 hours sleep!

J

Players are on a short break at the moment, blinds going up to 1,000-2,000 after the break 14 left

ifm  is that ginge who packed his job in?

i pack my job in every other week mate

whats happening is there any drunk cash players there i might pop down

Fancy donating some lol

i heard u need some after donating to the blackjack lol

Dave Smith triples up calling V. Martin's button raise to 7000, also called by S Jelinek. On the 5 7 J flop he's all-in for only 3500 more, again two calls, and his J Q is good against V. Martin's AK and Steve's 7 8.

Tikay's fortunes are up and down: A big blind reraise with AK pushes him up to 32000, then the same hand outflops his 99 sending him back to 23000. Such is the nature of poker.


egg - not sure anybody's drunk yet, although some may still be from yesterday... There is word that some blondeite watchers are going to play a 10 rebuy tourney starting up soon. Perhaps updates, if anything really exciting happens over there.

what time does that tourney start

can you tell tony i wont be able to get there today ill phone him .
has he got those shorts on today for the TV ?

what are the blinds?

hello paul this is mitch from ladbrokes

hi mitch

Funny, Actionjack and I are on the same table, both short stacked in the sunday lunch on laddies. Hi egg

ftp://(http://)hello i dont know how to use this

LMAO

Dan - sorry tourney appears to be kicking off right about now...

actionjack - sorry no shorts

There have been a few big split pots just now: Debbie Witcombe and V. Williams all-in on an A K Q 10 board - their Jacks split it (him:JJ her:JQ)

Threeway all-in on the other table: Flop QQK two diamonds. S.B. S. Smith immediately all-in, call all-in from Jackie R., little dwell and call of them both by Tom Burns. Burns on the nut flush draw, while the others' hands were both Q J. The shot at knocking them both out didn't come in though, and the blinds split the pot.

Oh, and Tikay seems to give up his blinds to Jackie on his left without too much of a fight ;)

heelo i see what u mean

Any chip counts Jen?

tikay is probly trying to acquire a new niece so giving up his blinds  to ms reardon

Cant keep a good man down, AJ now above average

No need to be so hard on yourself  ;)

Good luck in Sunday lunch RED

Say hello to Debs for me too will ya please, great player, she won the league thingy last year and nearly 10k.
Incidentally Tom was i think second, so both know what they're doing

Oh, and u Paul - seeing that you're becoming a blondeite. :)

Jackie Reardon doubling up like there's no tomorrow - now on 46000, after her JJ beat A9 and then JJ again beat 10 10 (flop A Q 3 6 5 - nearly called by third player Greek Jack who passed AQ!)

We dont want him on here, his eyes are too close together

I've always thought he looks a little like Nasser Hussain. My m8s think I'm talkin out my bottom tho.

Shave that beard off snoop, you look more like Sadam hussain

Oi! Leave the bullying for the table.

MALCOLM HARWOOD V. MARTIN and JIM REID out!

Malcolm all-in with AKclubs, but he was up against V. Martin's JJ and also QQ and  no-one found any help. "In 90 mins, I found a pair of 7s, ran into Aces, then, next good hand - all-in." When asked if he'd only played two hands, he admitted to the occasional steal to last the hour and a half......


Hot on his heels, Jim Reid moves all-in preflop and is called by two players. His Q K find no help against 77 and 1010 (the tens making a set) and we are down to 11

Its tikay time....

It was only a matter of time AJ coming over here after he had a glimpse of those shorts !

 :P

Unlucky Malcolm, great effort

tikay has promised me that if i average 5 posta per day he will send me a pair of the shorts ( solied i think)

Good Luck Tikay

Good luck to Jackie, Debbie and Tom. I had a very early bath yesterday with QQ v KK, still going through the hand in my head and didn't sleep very well!! I'm popping down for some cash games and I'm a sucker forthe 25 comp.... lets hope i dont get busted with QQ again lol.

Ginge, I packed my job in 2 months ago and so far have earnt more from cards than my old salary!! Goin vegas next thurs...
Kojack (Harry Kyriacou)

Lucky fella, i have earned more from live poker than work since i've been playing (end of Octoberish) it's a big step to pack up work though.
About to sell half my house soon so will give me a big bankroll and no mortgage, might give it a go then......thing is i think i'd regret it if i didn't try

Best Of Luck to Tikay, Greek Jack and Dave Smith

Come On the Notts Mob!

TOM BURNS 10th place finisher--------

Tikay's second all-in (already!) finds Tom with A 9, and he calls all-in.  Tikay's pocket 9s put him in good shape, and the flop comes K 6 4 5 K.  After a good game, Tom Burns out, bringing final table to 9.

unlucky Tom

COME ON TONY!!!! wish him good luck for me, tell him Im sweating

Bubble boy no more!!!  :D

Whats going on down there Jennifer ( ;))? We are through the bubble and Tikay is still in. Better get your hankie ready for the inevitable nosebleed.

Just a note from Trevor - is actionjack around, because with 84000 chips she has a new nickname: ActionJackie!

Debbie Witcombe doubles up, as her all-in is reraised by Steve Jelinek to get it heads-up - turns out he has KK vs her AJ.  But the cards fall 4 A 8 4 2 giving her a much-needed boost.

Reasonable pots also taken by Dave Smith and Paul Fletcher.  Chips are moving around......

STEVE JELINEK OUT IN 9th

His mid-position all-in bet puts Tikay into a dwell on the BB, which turns into a call with his AKspades.  He's racing Jelinek's 88, and the King on the flop sends him out in 9th, and gives Tikay a 30000 boost. 

After a great second day, Steve had no final table luck, and they are down to 8

Kick on Tikay

Come on Tikay, top 2 and you have "won" your world series seat- How has somebody not stuck him in anyway for all the coverage they would get?

DEBBIE WITCOMBE OUT IN 8th

Tikay raises on the button, Debbie all-in on S.B. for 25000, which disperses early limper Dave Smith.
Tikay:  JJ
Debbie:  AQ             All cards on board come below 9 knocking her out.  She played a very good game (including an earlier fold of JJ on a 10-high flop, being shown AA by the other player as he took the pot) and now there are 7......

Good Luck Tikay

All the way

So much for the smile then, but all is fair.......

 ;)

Jackie all-in under the gun, now on Tikay's right. He quips "Is that a raise?" before folding along with the others. He says, "You're not smiling..." to which she replies "I am!" as she flips Aces

Can you tell tikay to concentrate on his game and stop trying to pull

Hehehehe.  He seems to have taken on the challenge to knock them all out single-handedly.  I reckon he's concentrating at least a little bit, RedDog...
Approx chips:
Tikay   98000

Tikay with a deep stack?!!

someone get the tissues i feel he may nosebleed shortly

hey nice going - good luck tikay

Did I hear someone mention a buyin at the rio for the old man? Jen please make him promise to buy in if he wins this.

Someone tell him that 72 is not a raising hand.

 ;)

why does the new blonde poker reporter keep callin Mr Kendall " uncle Tony " is she just being polite ?

At least its not 'Daddy' - then I would be worried!

GL Tikay!

Sheriff

MICK FLETCHER OUT IN 7th


Big hand makes Mick Fletcher v. short - He moves all-in with AK off and is called by ActionJackie in the bb with AQhearts. The flop is 4 2 10, with the 2 being a heart, and she catches runner-runner hearts to flush out most of his chips.

Then he's all-in blind for 14500, finds A6d, but unluckily for him Viv Williams finds AK to call him with and this time it's good. Bit of hard luck, but he's out graciously in 7th, leaving 6.

I'm not sure if I'm the new reporter you mean actionjack, but if he's my uncle there's a lot I don't know about my family

Tikay has enough for 2 single table sats at the WSOP for the main event, hopefully soon be enough for a seat, gl tony

who's left, chipcounts, blinds etc. pretty please

more of a problem might be that there is a lot you do not know about mr Kendall and his unusual preferences .

can some one please tell me how to a picture onto my name bit . Please xplain as though you were talking to a moron so i can understand ty

Paul, Ironside is your man..although I think he is in Walsall at the mo.

AJ - i'll send you a PM with my email address. Email me the picture and i'll put it on the web for you and talk you through it.

i was gonna say the same thing, helpful bunch us lot huh?

ty bongo whats a PM and how do i see it

just bcoz i spend most of my sad life in front of my PC doesnt mean i know a lot about them

STUART SMITH OUT IN 6th

It's Smith vs Smith as Stuart raises all-in on the button with A2, but finds Dave with pocket Jacks in the small blind. No Ace appears, and he is out in the very last hand before the break leaving 5 players. One of them is Tikay. More updated chip count in a sec

Is that Stuart Smith - young guy (21), short dark hair, 15 stone.

Please confirm.

Ta

 :)

Even after all the knock outs and double ups hes still the shortstack, how does he do it? get it won or chopped Tikay it will come in usefull in vegas.

Actionjack have you managed to read my PM yet?

I don't think this is the same Stuart Smith, nowhere near 15 stone and not much hair. Youngish though... I'll try to track him down and memorize some features but my brain is a bit sieve-like at the moment

no sorry dont know what or where a PM is . I may be having a mental blockage as  i have a bad experience with those letters . My first wife used to blame her poor behaviour on something similar .

Personal message

Ironside 'Officially not muppet.'

He has cashed in this afternoon's 10 rebuy event, making him the only other blondeite to make a final in Walsall this weekend.  Jolly good!

If only he could find the opportunity to spend the "dance tokens".

 ;)

Great updates Jen.

ActionJack, sent you another PM with the picture and some instructions.

http://www.blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?action=pm

HUGE HAND TAKES OUT DAVE SMITH AND GREEK JACK in 4th and 5th respectively

Jackie raises utg to 20000, called by Dave Smith on the button. Then out of nowhere bb Greek Jack reraises all-in. Jackie calls, and Dave Smith decides to call also, leaving a little behind.

Flop 3h 8d 5h.

Jackie moves all-in, Dave calls.
Jackie shows AQ
Dave shows 99
Mr Dionysiou shows 10 10.

Turn A
River 3

Jackie has a huge chip lead, and a 'toilet break' has been arranged to discuss matters between the final three: Tikay, Jackie and Viv Williams

Oh Mrs. Lime, you make me homesick for my greedy lazy kitty back in North London.... and Persephone

go on tikay ;D ;D ;D

Guess the toilet break is in the ladies.

 ;D

whats the situation with chips and blinds jen

The situation will be a nice chop and a ws seat bought by tikay...wooohoooo.

A DEAL DONE (but by the rules playing out....)

Tony 4500
Viv Williams 7600
and Jackie Reardon 9000 - CONGRATULATIONS!

Jackie qualified through a satellite and I am sure all the people watching and supporting her are as chuffed as she is! Best of luck to them all in the future too.

Did any1 take any photos they could upload?

i know its old news but can you tell me what heppened to the rock and mick fletcher or where they came jen

Many Thanks

Well donw tony, cant believe we didnt have a %. Now you better play the ws.

wd Tony ;D

Nice avatar Simon Zach.

 ;D

Simon Zach - the rock saw no playable hands for ages, eventually all-in with AK clubs but no luck.... Mick pretty unlucky with his AK outdrawn by AQ on the final.  Somewhere in the mess of updates there is more detail, sorry I think we're off soon.  WIll ask about photos from those with cameras

Nice work Djinn.

Bravo.  :D

Well played tikay, good job Jen, and not forgetting Ironside the only other blondite to cash

Good job Tikay, a nice bit of ammo for LV !

Thanks .. Great Job everyone (as ever )

Well done Tony. Sounds like a great weekend. Well done Ironside too!

Tiky and Ironside both cashing - look what happens when you become Platinum Members of P4C ;D :o ::) ;)

Hearty congratulations to both.

Excellent Jen--Well done---
Back at Nottm now....

Thanks all for a gr8 weekend
Malc-M

cheers bongo

very well play jackie it must run in the blood .
and well done tony another job lot of dodgy shorts on their way no doubt

glad to be of service :)

The winning smile - Jackie Reardon after a brilliant performance tonight!

[attachment deleted by admin]

Jackie in action during the last few hands.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Soon as I saw that pic I passed. Jeez, WHAT a smile! And to accentuate her warm personality & toe curling smile, she was sat between Viv Williams, the pony tailed Welsh giant of a man, who resembles a gable end, and me.....some contrast, eh?

Far too tired to bore you with details tonight, but will give you the low down tomorrow.

Media Hound, you got any more pics from Walsall, that's a cracker, have you never thought of taking up photography as a hobby? More examples please.

Anybody know the guy on the left and why he's smiling?????

[attachment deleted by admin]

Perks of the job, eh?

Those three pics must be the best pics we have ever seen on blonde, more please Media. And NOW you guys know what I mean about that smile. How can any man fail to be impressed by that?

And talking of Media Hound.......

Killer Dog stands guard over the chips but falls victim to the smile...

[attachment deleted by admin]

I know blonde have had a busy and exciting day today, but I've counted 4 new Members in this thread - Egg, Kojack, Mrs Lime, & Media Hound. So where are the usual blondeite "welcome aboard" messages? Shame on you guys, shame on you!

Report to my office in the morning if not rectified by then.

And WHO is Mrs Lime? We know that "our Jen" - she's family now - was Harry Lime in the blonde Crypto tourney, so who's Mrs Lime. A man, methinks.....Damn!

And to all today's new Members - there are about a dozen I believe - welcome aboard, post now and then, & enjoy! Tune in if you want the Real Deal in Live Updates for the WSOP Main Event.

Ahha, that last pic is Greek jack, looking as smart & trim as ever, you'd never guess he is 76.

Poor Jack, usually such a busy player, had a really torrid time in the Fiinal, after being overnight Billy Big Stack, & hardly played a hand all day, losing the few he did. Jack's a Gent, one of the Notts Elite, and he took his ill fortune like a real man. Another victim of the Smiling Assassin.

But he DOES look smart, eh?

Viv uses is own tried and tested technique for dealing with Jackie's smile strategy...

[attachment deleted by admin]

Ahh, The Gable End........

When Smiling Assassin was on the BB, the dapper Viv was on the Button. I counted 17 consecutive Button steals from Viv in 16 rounds. The Smile did not cut any ice with Viv, eh? has he must have a heart of stone. Viv finished runner-up, though due to a weird Gaming Board inspired anamoly, he was officially classified as third, even though the "deal" was conditional on him being second. He was second, fair and square.

STUNNING Pics Media, quite stunning.

That media hound takes a mean pic. I bet his name is Derek and he is from Germany.

After the no-smile strategy doesn't work, Viv tries a new approach...

[attachment deleted by admin]

Dunno about Derek, but he's a flash guy, 'andy with the camera.

NOOOOOOOO...... The Gable End has one of those smiles too.

PASS!

Usually called "built like a brick sh1thouse" in these parts Tony :D.

Looking forward to your trip report, onward to Vegas!

Red, I was trying to find an alternative that led folks to think EXACTLY that!

I LOVE pics, I think they bring the Forum to life.

No more pictures of my multiple chins to be published without my right of veto first. They have their own agent and hes not amused  ;D

Well we tried to find your best side, but.......

Many congrats tikay ;D If youre going to be in Walsall for the next 300 comp I will definitely come and say hi!

Ty Wall. Look forward to that.

You intending investing the prize money in sats when you get out there tikay? Also would be interested to hear your thoughts on daniel negreanus latest journal. Read it at fullcontactpoker.com. I have been a huge fan of his for a long time and cant help wondering what is going on in his head, think he should try being a standard touring pro for a month or 2 to get things into perspective IMO.

I can't help but think he's on something. And he's got his head up his you know what. A dodgy combination.

Ive read everything hes ever written and to be honest his game fell to peices when he discovered god and got back with Lori. He seems to have lost sight of the fact that this game has given him his entire life. When he first started playing he went to Vegas with his last $2000 and won his first bracelet, if he had lost his buyin hed have been flat broke and having to start again. Get rid of the bloody complications in your life and get back to what you used to live for man.

I thought this was funny:-
http://www.cheeseypoker.co.uk/casino/CasinoResult.aspx?cgid=2993&cid=2

Who's the shy fella finishing second?

DN's (nope, i'm not going to try to spell it either) blog where he randomly bumps into a man while waiting to get his haircut is one of the most bizarre things i have ever read. He ends up deciding the guy is a gay, drug addict, prostitute.  ???

Dunno Ian!

There WAS a reason for my anonymity in this case.

We did a 3 way chop. Party of the deal was the insistence that Jackie was shown as the winner, & Viv insisted (correctly) on being listed as second. But then we were told we had to play it out, as the Casino only pay out the official structure, & it has to be played to the death.

So it was chuck all the chips in time. me & Viv first, My 9-2 was dominated by his Q-9. I hit the 2. My 3-4 was way behind his A-J. I hit trips. Viv "officially" finished third.

The disclaimer forms had me as 2nd, I wanted it changed to 3rd, to honour my agreement with Viv. It was not possible. So I did not consent. It would have been wrong to sign for 2nd when we we had agreed Viv was second.

Then we had to sort the money, which we had to do amongst ourselves. We all gave our tickets (mine was for 6,200, as officially 2nd) to Trev Reardon, who went & collected the fat end of 20k from the Cash Desk, then we shared the spoils as agreed.

Yeah, i know mate i've done a couple of deals in there and what a pain it has become.
Did you know if you are overheard to suggest a deal you can be barred for the card room for 20 minutes or some such rubbish..................WHO'S MONEY IS IT???  ;D
Congrats to your good self and Jackie whom i spoke to Friday in the sat she won her seat in (also to my left when i was dealing, actually gave her a few good hands) and to Viv who was dealing my table in the Saturday sat.
Ian
