blonde poker forum

well as you know i finished 2nd to a great player .
but the thing was this was a 9 player final ,this was one hell of a final table ,
i think any one of the nine could have won this.
but as the cards run it ended up with me and dave heads up .
from day two of this tourney dave and myself was chopping and changing for chip leader .
we said on the break on day two it would be a grudge macth lol if we went heads up .
id just like to say how good it was to play with him at that table ,what a brilliant experience .
the man is class at reading people ,one of the best in europe if not the world .
congrats dave your a worthy winner .


 
                     

                                                   thx barry.

thx you lot .
                it takes more than one to make a good game .
                just had my daughter downlode some more songs lol.

Sorry to change the tone slightly, indeed many congrats to Barry and to Dave for their wins. However, having seen the second video of the two posted, I feel I need to respond. I was "the young kid," who apparently ran round screaming having knocked out my friend Mickey, and therefore deserved this deluge of abuse, including being accused of being gay.

Let me give my account of when I knocked Mickey out, as there has obviously been a massve Chinese whisper effect. I did overreact, which I do not usually do, pumping my fists where I was standing behind the table, but did not make a single noise. I admit to this being a little too much, I was feeling the sheer relief of finally having a hand stand up, but didn't feel it was any more at all than alot of people celebrate. I soon thanked Nick Slade who put me right for overcelebrating, and made a mental note to be more emotionless.

I think Blonde/Blue Square need to be more careful making a showing videos which have a laugh at a unknown player, who has no defence. (Even the 16 outs on the river is an exaggeration- the 9 picture cards are outs).
It's all too easy with poker to have bad sentiments towards and be nasty to people you don't know, but also possible to show alot of respect and humility. The later is an atmosphere that Blonde encourages through all its brilliant services.

Cheers guys, many congrats again

hhmmm  feel i shouldrespond s i have been named , stuart reacted with a little to much passion on takingmickey out , i asked him to show  little more respect , he then did it again when he took a huge pot down the very next hand , i told stuart to again sit down and behave , in his defence there was no malice in his fist pumping and it was sheer relief . I HAD A QUIET  word with him in the break and he said thankyou and would learn from his actions ,, which i have to say is admirable.

ironically he got massively outdrawn by barry not long after , and brry punched the table , so it was ironic.

somebody did ask stuart if he was gay , out of order some would say, but if you you can guess who asked the question , then you would understand the humour of the individual. i hope you werent to upset by it stuart .

just keep playing and learning ,you have a good game , it was el blondie and barrys tourney from day 2..........   




as for the final it was another experience for me , well played to all the finalist , dave spiking the 9 on the river was a gut wrenching experience , i would have loved to have got to heads up with him.

dave played very well .  but i was chuffed for barry , i hope he gets deep again real soon ,as long as i am not on his table , i cant take his karaoke singing to his daughters ipod ever again.

I agree, comments about someone's sexuality have no place in or out of poker.
Well done, barry, on some talented aggressive play. Didn't know you would get so deep. Do you often find yourself coming from behind?
