Post by: ariston on September 23, 2005, 08:30:23 PM
Just spoken to Tikay and apparentley one minute connection next minute none. The offer has been made for updates by text so we will see what happens. Rita is causing havock in the US and people may be having difficulty with internet as a lot of servers are based in Houston apparently (so an anorak friend just tols me when I rang wailing I couldn't retrieve my emails). There are going to be many problems on internet over next few days.....

i got that bit, just wanted some elaborate tale about how Kiv was arrested for prostitution on the way to the casino when he flagged down a passing motorist to ask for directions whilst wearing his trademark wig and scottish skirt.


Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: The_nun on September 24, 2005, 10:27:47 AM
Ariston.. you heard any results from sarrfeennd..x


Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: Dingdell on September 24, 2005, 12:29:43 PM
Final  table starts at  3pm. Tikay and Reddog still in - dont have a chip count - sorry - I went out near the bubble at 4 am so didnt care what anyone else had! ;-)
Poker poka John still in, Kevin O'leary (sponsored by L'Oreal)  has a good stack, plus my boyfriend (sponsored by Grecian 2000) - I'm on a % so  I'm encouraging him all I can!! :-) Met Mrs reddog - and having met reddog all I can say is that she must be  a saint - and a  lovely woman too!

Elblondie went out fairly early - deck was cold i think - but Mrs C looked fab so he must still be a happy man ;-)

One drunk player thught it would be good fun to knock kevin O'learys card protector (gromit) off his massive stack on regular basis but o'leary has kept his cool and his new hair colour to play another day.

13 left - casino decided to pay all. £300 for the first few out.

Great picture that will be posted on the forum of reddog with tissues in his ears after the casino started their fiday night entertainment - a psuedo drifter wearing a brown leather outfit similar to your grans old leather sofa!!  The music (sorry the noise!)  was deafening - no one could hear the game and we were shouting to make raises.....offered Tikay £50 for his ipod but he wanted more! The entertainment area is just around the corner from the card room and it was a bizarre sight during one of the breaks to walk round to the loo and be confronted with essex women crowding the dancefloor, all singing along to drifters songs, looking for a snog, but not dancing round their handbags - just all holding them....must have heard there were poker players in the building, they didn't want to put their bags down.......it was like playing poker in a disco - very strange....

Nice atmosphere despite the music thing -  at one point my table were all swaying in time to the music although I suspect one of them was  swaying more than the others just to get a look down the dealers cleavage and one of the others was just on tilt ;-)

A great time being had by all - took me 1 minute to recognise reddog - so i went up to say hello - and several hours to recognise Kev - as he didnt have a wig on I was struggling to place him!!!!

It has been really nice to say hello  to blondites in the flesh - one of the main reasons for joining the forum - so it's worked well. A lot of the players came for the week and said how lovely southend was - especially those from Luton.

I'm cheering on from 3 pm but dont have a connection to post updates -I'm not sure what Kev is doing..... :-(

Sorry there's not any more game info here but as I was playing the entire night I wasn't really watching the other tables!Met a guy who wanted to say Hi to the Nun - really nice guy whose name escapes me (sorry), from the North and a nice guy apart from the fact he kept raising my blind - but he did it with a smile and told me I had a nice jumper on - I tell you that table as a hot bed of poker action!!

My prediciton for today - obviously my boyfriend is a winner (in so many ways) and I know he will do well - but from the blondite side - Tikay is definitiely on form - he won at the pakm beach on tuesday - (what he actually said was I won on Tuesday - sorry I came second - sorry it was third) but he looked in control of his table here and very relaxed. Obviously cheering him and reddog on - and reddog doesn't take any prisoners!  Good luck to all of them - oh and Pulse - lots of essex women here - would be worth your while coming down instead of hanging around all those morgues....  ;D

Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: Gamblor21 on September 24, 2005, 01:01:25 PM
Barry ' THEE FROM THINE' Neville is chip leader!

He said Red-dog was still in but no tikay... he might not have realised tho!



Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: Dewi_cool on September 24, 2005, 01:30:59 PM
Red dog has had a good week so far,lets hope it continues, and for Tikay too if he's still in. :)up


Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: Dingdell on September 24, 2005, 02:00:25 PM
Cheers for that Tracey.....Is Matt still in?...

Is Matt the really nice guy who said to say hello to you?? I can't remember all the names as I've only just met them....sorry  :-[
He did say he was good friends with you and how nice you were....him perhaps?

As for Tikay being out - he told me he was still in........hmmmmmm.......is it palm beach all over again?!  ;)
Talking of which it's really sunnt here and we're going to get a few mins on the beach before going into a timeless dark windowless casino again - I knwo why we do to - but why do we do it?
Tracey

Post by: b4matt on September 24, 2005, 03:25:40 PM
ok now i a'm blushing... ;D ;D lovely to meet you also Tracy (nice jumper) But i would never pinch your blinds.... :)up... Really good game, great banter at the tables, especially Reddog doing a monty python sketch (but why did i have to sit next to him!!!), and Tikay's insistence that 'this is the first pair i've seen all night.... (yawn) he was stacked and stealing as usual :D ;). good luck guy's left in :)up


Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: Karabiner on September 24, 2005, 04:05:40 PM


Thanks a lot for the excellent report there Dingdell, I wish I'd gone now.

But can anyone supply some facts and figures please ?

Final table lineup with chip counts, number of runners, prizemoney etc.

 :)up


Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: RED-DOG on September 24, 2005, 06:41:55 PM
Hi guys, just got back, tikay was last man out (14th)  before we packed up for the night I was short stacked and moved in with pocket 77 first hand this afternoon, a big stack called me with KQ and flopped the K, goodbye from me

Thee from Thine was chip leader, some others still in are Paul Parker, who was also short stacked and also moved all in with pocket 77 the very next hand after me and trebled up (bugger) Luke Smith aka the Doc, Dingles boyfriend, Two big bald blokes, James Browning, and someone else called James who plays at Luton

It was great to meet Colchester Kev for the first time, to quote Mrs Red, 'A lovely man' I'm afraid I have to agree

Had a chat with Dingdell, absolutely charming, if my colon ever needs irrigating.......

Sat next to b4matt (The nuns mate) I knew him from before but didn't connect name and face

And lastly, thanks to the nun for sending me a sloppy kiss, but next time don't get a bloke to deliver it

Ok, catch you all later, off to Walsall for the £300 freeze out, it's a tough job, but someone has to do it



 


Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: Dingdell on September 24, 2005, 07:11:44 PM
Ok - it's all over - I'm sure Tikay will be giving a detailed report so I wont spoil it - but it was a great game - some great all in calls early on at the final table and my man madea great fold which will go down in history - well done Bern aka Lucky Fish Litman  :D

Tracey

You are most welcome Red..heres another :-*


Title: Re: Southend Mini Update
Post by: Colchester Kev on September 24, 2005, 11:23:38 PM
Evening all ... so sorry about the updates, i was looking forward to doing them but we lost internet connection and even if we had it, security stopped us from doing the updates anyway ... because it wasnt planned and the proper channels hadnt been gone through etc etc ... but they were really nice about it and apologetic ... in fact everyone agreed that Blackpool have a serious rival in the best looked after poker players stakes ....  the valets at saarfend are absolutely fantastic, the place itself is one of the nicest casinos i have ever been in ..(and i have been in a few) ... The atmosphere was brilliant, the staff warm, friendly and really wanted to listen to feedback from the players... food was great, car parking plentiful ...all in all a fantastic time was had by all.

Tracey Dingdell is lovely, she has promised me a free treatment whenever i want one ...im not sure if that meant she liked me or hated me :)

I met Mel Lofthouse (she signed me in) she is lovely as well.
I also met Mrs Red ... she is far too good for Mr. Red, and has promised me that if Red gets out of line, and she decides to trade him in, my application would be looked at favourably ;)

Mr Red ...an honour and a pleasure to finally meet you sir, and the large Jack daniels that you bought me on arrival, went down a treat

I met so many friendly people  i cant even begin to mention them all.... But a special mention must go to a chap called Kevin Hicks... he is the casino Manager at Rendezvous Casino.. what a great guy, not at all a pompous, self important, anonymous "suit" like so many of his counterparts at other places ... he was constantly around the cardroom and took a genuine interest in everybody and made sure everything went smoothly, A top bloke and a great ambassador for the place .... honestly guys, if you get a chance to visit the Rendezvous at Southend ... you wont be disappointed.. I will certainly be going back, and everyone who i spoke to said the same.

Kev.

I've met Kevin before the one time I was down in Southend and I'd like to support what Colchester Kev said about him - you couldn't wish to meet a nicer bloke. Glad to hear that things went well.

Post by: Colchester Kev on September 25, 2005, 12:08:15 AM
Thee from Thine won it ,   down to 2 players (Dingdell's Fella being the other)  Thee had a substancial chip lead and offered to drop a grand off first ......  so Barry won £10,700   and a sort of blonde 1-2 with taracey's fella coming second...  I really didnt abuse the bar that badly ... although myself and Simon did have the bar manager contemplating a trip to the allnight tesco for more Jack daniels at one point lol .,..

Post by: Dingdell on September 25, 2005, 12:32:02 AM
Really nice to meet you too kevin - much nicer n the flesh - these photos just don't do people justice!  :)

Just had a fab meal and even fabber bottle of wine to celebrate - my b/f can't be a blondie - more a ginger if the truth be known........however he is delighted to be a half blondie by association  ;D

Another comp at Rendezvous saarthend tomorrow and we are playing it if anyone want to join us, we are pokered out so are an easy target.....6.30 start £250+£20 buy in. Complimentary buffet from 5 pm.

Having played poker for 2 days I am knackered - hats off to the professionals - i really couldn't do it for a living.

Thanks again Kev for being such fabulous company - and see you again soon.

Tracey

Hi Allan here,  just joined the site having finished 7th yesterday. Just wanted to report how well the event was run and met a lot of new faces. Nice to see the locals had two local runners on the last table (myself and the runner up - get you next time Bernie- made a move into his blind with A8  and ran into his AK, lost my 42k and had to go and cool down my burnt fingers). Will start to play the circuit more and see the blondie runners at the vic and in birghton newt month.. the web site and forum look interesting.
