blonde poker forum

just read tikays live tourament report on the $50 at notts.i really wish i was there it sounded funny.a few people spoke to me on monday night about this final and there were mixed comments as always,but with a final table like that,it was to be expected.the general feeling was that chilli played excellent and that says alot coming from a room where no-one likes to complement anyone else.
great report tikay. :)up

Hi Fran, how you doing?  I too thought it was an excellent report by tikay.  It is funny, that the last 3 times I have bugged tikay to join me at Notts he has gone home with at least a grand each time!  Who says women are bad for the bank balance?

It was an enjoyable comp and with numbers seeming to be creeping up a little, I for one am glad.  It is my local and a place where I have had grinded out my poker education over the years, and it is a place where I want to continue going.  VERY nice to hear Fran, that people can be complimented on their game, their are some good people in Nottingham!! 

I enjoyed this comp in that after playing some bigger and scarier comps lately, I felt a new found freedom to not to worry about a placing nor wait for big cards.  As we all know, sometimes they just don't bless us.  So the last hand before the end of the re-buys, there has been a raise, re-raise and 2 callers, I look down and see 3 5 spades.  It looks good! Surely the raisers and callers have BIG cards so i chance it.  The flop comes A Q J ALL spades  ;D My 3 5 flush holds up and I go into the freezout section chipped up.  End up 7th, with tikay on my left with 3 tables left and then to my right on the final.  It takes a mighty effort from both of us to prove to certain people that we would gladly and frequently take each other out!  So we have a battle of the blinds EVERY round.  Well done Tikay though, I thought he played awesome in the final and thouroughly deserved his placing.  Now, about heads up!  If you want any lessons, you only have to ask!  8)

Fran - I have a Blondepoker hoodie for you if you are intersted?  I'll bring it with me next time I go, which I think will be Sunday.

like you chilli notts is where im learning the game and as you know apart from us there isnt really any regular female players,i think that has helped me toughen up my game a bit.ive only been playing for 8 months so hopefully i can improve more.
thanks for the hoodie,im not playing in the comp on sunday but im out in notts so ill b in at about 11 o clock.

massive respect for how well your doing at the minute. :respect:

You can and will only improve playing in Nottingham.  I think there are a lot of tough cookies there who have been playing for eons and make their living in Notts.  I think the next step above from playing there is not that huge.  I envisaged playing in bigger comps to be a lot tougher than what i am used to but its not really.  I feel i get more respect because they don't know my game, and you can get more moves through because at Notts any moves you make get called anyway.

I haven't seen your game yet Fran, but i look forward to us sharing (and commanding) a table soon.  See you Sunday then.

you down for the afternoon game Chilli, or just the evening?

Yes, the battle of the Blinds 'tween Maria & I raged the whole night, we seemed ro be sat next to each other for hours. And yes, "mutterings" that we might slow-play each other were heard. Truth to tell, I would have busted out in 7th if my K-5 (SB) had not got very lucky against Maria's AK (BB), but that's the luck pf poker.

Play hard, play fair. And bust the girlies.

bust the girlies :redcard:
