blonde poker forum

Hi all,

I heard about this site/forum from my mate Tom 'the fire' Burns during the last 300 freezeout at Walsall.  I think the Tournament Live pdate' feature is excellent. Thanks for the WSOP coverage as well as the insightful journal from Rob Yong. A job well done!

I've been playing 'Hold'em' for the past two years (home games) and have recently (past 2mths) started visiting casinos to try my hand in 10/20 tourny's (Star City:Wed/Thur, Gala:Fri). Generally, the experience has been a good one in terms of results and the people/characters I've met.

I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you and will be coming out of retirement from online poker to lock horns in any 'in house' online tourny's.

Incidentally, Tom Burns is in hospital in Sheffield (in good spirits, he'll be back in Brum in the next 2wks or so). I'm going up to see him again next wk so will pass on any messages.

Right then, that's me for now.

Cheers, Will.

Welcome Will, THATS the way to introduce yourself, nice one. I bet you get 10 welcome messages from blondeites, & 10 new buddies.

Give my best o Tom please.

We look forwrd to seeing you in the online tourneys, or "live".

Take care, & enjoy!

wish tom the best form me, i think we spoke briefly when i was in walsall last month, having just spent 2 boring nights in hosptal waiting for an op myself i know how he must be feeling itiching to get back on the felt

when i next go in i hope to have a laptop handy so i can play poker in bed

Thanks for the welcom Tikay,Ironside. Tom's in good spirits and he'll be up and about next week. I used the forum to update him on the WSOP as he's having laptop trouble...looks like he'll finally be able to get online later today to get a much needed fix!!

Be well,

Will.

wish i had the insight to do a post like this when i joined up

welcome billy/will/brum ?!?

Hi Swood,

Cheers for the welcome. Call me 'Will'...the 'Billy' thing is just for e-mail use.

Hi mate, welcome, best wishes to your mate "the fire" Burns, (great name) perhaps you could be "Fire at" Will.

Hi Red Dog,

Thanks for the welcome and goodwill. Your suggested nickname (tho clever:You in advertising?) might just draw too much flack when at the table so I won't be adopting it in a hurry.

Got an appointment to play 9-Ball in a bit then a 'home game' after so will check in during the wee hours.

Till later,

Will

Welcome Will. Good first post.

<enter witty comment here>

Welcome Will, your post did a nice job!

you'll enjoy it here, but watch out for some of the regulars

Hi Will welcome to the most addictive forum you will ever join....Ironside has been trying to get out for ages, and reg dog likes it here because he can write messages without having to use anything sharp !!

Enjoy the forum and welcome to the "family"

Kev.

Welcome mate.  :D

Great forum this is.  Best I've seen so far.

I could use Kev to write my messages, he's not very sharp

Thanks to the following for a warm welcome to the forum:

Kev, Maroon, Tight End and Robert HM

It's approaching 4am and I've just got in from a night of 9-Ball and poker at a mate's house. Managed to break even on the night thanks to winning at 9-Ball and a couple of 'last longer' bets when finishing on the bubble in 2 out of 3 games.

Gonna sit back with a cuppa and kill some time reading posts while doing laundry!!

I just wish that Red-Dog did not make me laugh so - he gets TWO nominations for QOTW. (Quip of the Week). Damn the man.

"The Fire" Burns.

"I could use Kev to write my message, he's not very sharp"......

Agreed! ...

I've just been browsing old threads and Red's comments consistently get me chuckling (some great characters on here!). I could/will spend hours reading posts on this forum but that's my lot for tonight as my laundry is done and dusted...btw Spoke to Tom Burns earlier and he really appreciated the good wishes from you all.

Im gonna try dusting my laundry, think of the water I'll save, goodnight will

ps, its tomorrow already

Enough Red. I'm in a foul mood, & you keep making me smile when I don't want to.

Hello Will, i recognise you from your piccy. Met you at star city once or twice, welcome.
A few of us were wondering what happened to Tom, hope he's ok.
Tell him Ginge says hello and wish him well will ya mate.
Ian

Holla billy, send tom my best regards let him know hes missed at walsall, and i hope to see him there in the near future!!!! ;D

He doesn't know anyone else that's in?
Ian

Just tell me what to do mate ....im confused lol

Cheers for the welcome Dani and Ian (yep...I remember meeting u at Star City...pretty 'interesting table' if I remember rightly).

Will pass on your good wishes to Tom...I did tell him he'd be missed at Walsall...he wasn't sure as to whether or not they'd miss his wallet more than his warm/uplifting personality....I assured him it was the latter...fingers well and truly crossed behind my back!

I should be seeing him Tuesday and if all's well he'll be back home the following week. He's itching to play so it won't be long before he's back in the mix again....
