blonde poker forum

I will travel 100 miles or so, pay a couple of hundred quid to enter a poker competition, bust out in the first hour, and still consider it to be money well spent

On the other hand, I went to buy an old bogey trailer from a farmer today, it was just what I wanted, it had a sturdy chassis on landrover wheels, deep sides, good brakes, working lights, the lot.

After about an hour of long hard haggling, he declared his final asking price to be £125 and I declared my final offer to be £100.

I really wanted this trailer, what do you think happend?

You gave him £110

i think you changed your mind and bought a yak instead

Played HU for the last £25?

He took the hundred and the axle fell off half way home?

Given that you're posting here, he haggled and you paid £120.

You left empty handed cos you wouldn't see his raise to 125.... you tite git :D

you decided he was bluffing, called and you lost

you went home empty handed , sent mrs red to do the deal and she got it for £90

Correct, I left empty handed, the extra £25 seemed really important, had it been a re-buy in a comp I wouldn't have thought twice about it

Half an hour later, he rang to say I could have it for £100

how far did you have to travel to view it ?

600 miles each way.

Don't speak that language here.
He bet, you reraised and he folded!

He lives in my village, but that's not the point I was making.


Btw, I liked the "Axle fell off" reply best

you obviously had a read on him Red

Nice little squeeze play m8 :D

Sigh, you're all obsessed

Why did you just not say that you called his reraise, and after a long Carloesque dwell he said


"you win"   :D

because I was pointing out how much more valuable £25 quid seemed when not being used for poker

I take it that it was not Carlo in that case, and I sincerely hope that the axle stays on.

May i ask what you wanted the trailer for in the first place?

Lol, ever wish you hadn't started something?

Explaination to follow, when I bust out of the Daddy.

When RED wins Luton Main Event this weekend even he can feel he is due a  big result.

Give up Red. We REFUSE to take you seriously.....Go win that Big Daddy jobbie. I had a torrid time, & exited against a set. Pah!

Out in 22nd, AK v A8, he hit runner runner runner runner straight, but I'm not bitter.

1: Local counlcil don't want me to live here, so won't accept my poll tax

2: No poll tax, no bin men

3: Have to take own rubbish to tip (IAlso take rubbish collected by village environment group)

4: Sold lorry because playing poker for living

5: Bought trailer to take rubbish to tip (Also enjoy haggling and towing things)

LMAO.. Yep Got it, Understand Completely now. You had me worried, I thought you had gone and got yourself a Job....

Reading that back the LMAO doesn’t look very nice. I was not laughing at your predicament with the local authorities.. Just the haggling & towing part.. 

No problemo Bundle, I never thought you were

So you mean that the temporary planning permission thingy does not allow you to pay temporary poll tax ?

Therefore no bin men, and presumably no police protection.

That is absolute bollox.  IMHO naturally

I could make an issue of it Ralph, I'm sure they wouldn't have a leg to stand on, but I have more important fish to fry where they are concerned

You have to pick your battles

Having been in a gambling environment all my life the strangest thing I ever saw was at York races one day. Two of my mates had just won £1000 each on a horse and then got into a full blown argument about who's turn it was to buy the drinks. Each accusing each other of being a tight sod.

I think that falls into the real money v gambling money.

Exactly the point I was trying to make

I have a mate who is quite happy to put £500 on a horse and lose it but i've seen him go mental when he lost a fiver in a fruit machine!!!!!!!

Everyone who loses a fiver in a fruit machine is mental..
