Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: TightEnd on January 05, 2008, 09:35:44 AM and, from Simon Trumper on another thread re this event
"Hi Guys As TK said i read all dtd threads and his diary to get feedback/ideas to improve the service/experience of playing at dusk till dawn. I spoke to Tom and told him the current structure for the monthly £500 was set at 40 minutes and 7500 chips and uses our normal weekly tournament structure with a couple of changes, i have added a 150 300 25 level and the 200 400 has a 50 ante instead of 25, i also said if i gave a longer clock and full festival structure ( i will probably put back one or two levels i removed as originally it was way too slow for one day events the first week ending in chip counts every night at 6am ! ) what would i have to improve the festival events. Every Thursday our £50 event has been sold out, originally capped at 108 and getting 119 to 137 it is now capped at 135 pre seat draw and 9 alternates . 144 is the natural cap using our structure with 30 minute levels, Thursdays event was split on a 3 way chip count at 4.20am but could have played out over the next 3 levels. Tonight there were 89 players for the £100 which has 5000 starting chips instead of 4000 , this makes a big difference to early play as with 445,000 chips compared to Thursdays 576,000 it finished at 5.10am with no deals, this means i may have to drop the chips if the fields keep increasing but i know i could get up to 144 with 4000 so will try 4500 first but not until i see how the next one with 5000 chips does. As i have no idea how many players will turn up for our £500 i want to give a decent structure with a longer clock and more chips than our weekly events then monitor the result and feedback as this will help me determine the best structure/clock/chips for our first festival . I agree with Tom and TK that the dusk till dawn experience should not be diluted and wherever i can i will improve it. Therefore once i see how this weekend goes next month i will consider a one hour clock and 7500 or 45 minutes with 10,000 starting chips. Playing here is so unique compared to any other venue in the UK there is no reason why our monthly event can't be a sample of what you can expect at dtd festivals. I respect Toms decision to skip this months event but i hope he will come and play in the side games. As kev says it's not possible to please everyone but for those interested here are the first 10 levels tonight , 7500 chips and a 40 minute clock. 25 50 50 100 75 150 100 200 150 300 150 300 25 200 400 50 300 600 50 400 800 100 600 1200 100 I certainly dont think Tom is " dissing " dtd as i know he loves playing here as does TK and without constructive criticism i would be unable to perfect the dusk till dawn experience so thanks to all of you that are willing to share your opinions. I am trying to achieve our goal of making dusk till dawn the premier venue in Europe, i have a fantastic team providing the best poker experience in an amazing venue, there is much more to come as we work towards opening 7 days a week and hosting our first festival and i welcome any suggestions both here or in person at the club. Cheers ACES" Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 10:38:48 AM is ironside still in? Probably - unless the lap dancing club has chucked him out.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: The Dundonian on January 05, 2008, 01:30:50 PM Does anyone know if they are holding live and/or online sats for the monthly £500?
Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: George2Loose on January 05, 2008, 02:40:39 PM They held a £60 10 seater sit and go on DTD Thurs with 1 seat. I came second :(
The structure was ridiculous tho. 10 min clock. 2000 starting chips. Blinds: 25/50 50/100 100/200 200/400 300/600 400/800 600/1200 800/1600 Too quick in my opinion. Keep the 10 min clock but should have some extra levels early Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dewi_cool on January 05, 2008, 02:47:38 PM online sats on dtd, the £10 to the £70 final not filling up, however there was enough last night in the final to generate a seat

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Redbull on January 05, 2008, 05:00:08 PM Good luck to all playing this. Wish I could play it but I'm out for a meal tonight. I'll pop in for some cash action later though.
Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: tikay on January 05, 2008, 05:27:04 PM Yes, good luck all those who are lucky enough to play in this.
And good luck to our special Update Team. Obviously, the PCA Bahamas thing - also on blonde - is the big one, but I'm hopeful that this dt (http://www.dtdpoker.com/aff/BlonditesDownload)d (http://www.dtdpoker.com/aff/BlonditesDownload) Update will be well received, too. We hope to cover this Event every month if they are well-received. Oh, & is Ironside out yet? Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: George2Loose on January 05, 2008, 06:46:49 PM Updates on Stacie (he's a bloke with very big shades) Imran and Phil- no last names I'm afraid! Tell them George wishes them all luck pls!
Also updates on Sam Tricket- only a matter of time before he takes one down Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 07:35:19 PM Ok - hey guys - we are live in Nottingham - and DTD is as welcoming as ever. The journey here was very easy, an hour door to door, and Bongo was already here setting up the technical stuff.
There is a tangible buzz here - a strange quietness about the place - the 60 or so runners are here to play and win, no social players by the looks of it - although their ability to play without any hands is yet to be seen. Recognisable players include Reddog, Lord Wernick, Dave Smith, Paul Jackson and of course Ironside. he's off for a smoke, play startes in 5 minutes, he expects to be with us helping with updating witghin 10 minutes.... Reddogs preferred play for tonight is "starting quiet, will sit back for the first two levels, and then slow down. Simon Trumper just announced shuffle up and deal and very sedately this comp has begun. We may not be in the caribbean but we expect to see some storm play tonight! Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 07:37:05 PM Within 4 mins of play we have our first casualty - flopped flush against a rivered house means we are already down one player.
Simon Trumper has happily announced to the remaining players that this means they will not be the first out - and also reminded them that this is a 2 day competition! Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 07:37:26 PM Seating Plan:

Amazingly no - we are gutted! It was John Perrin - who like his namesake may soon be leaving the building, leaving his clothes on the beach and doing a disappearing act. Certainly - he has left his seat and I have decided not to ask for an exit quote. Simon reminded the room that there is the alternate system in place - there is still time for us to buy in - now anyone want to buy Bongo and me in?? Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 07:44:09 PM Tighy arrived - first waitress just shimmied past him - he just tripped up while walking and watching her at the same time.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 07:55:51 PM Red reports some continual confrontation between Paul Jackson and Daniel Cochrane - latest coup - board 5d 3h 2d 3s 3d Daniel bets 750 and Paul folds - Daniel shows a full wilson with 4d 7h.
The full wilson retains its notoriety - two players immediately identified it by name. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Geo the Sarge on January 05, 2008, 07:58:02 PM Good luck to Iron, please tell him The Sarge is railing.

I suggested Head Honcho but I am sure you can do better.... Mother Hen it is for our TD until someone thinks of something else........

As for Aces...just call him The Boss. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 08:20:52 PM Monster hand just occured between Paul Jackson and Daniel Cochrane - the feud still continues. Paul Jackson on the button raises to 525 (blinds 25/50)
Red in BB exclaims "That's a strange place to try and nick my blind from" - everyones a classic! Seat 1 Daniel Cochrane dwells and then raises to 2225 Red passes and utg who had limped also passes. Paul Jackson reraises allmost all in - leaving 200 behind. Daniel dwells and eventually calls and bizarely turns his hand over to show Qd Qh. Paul Jackson sportingly also turns over even though he's not all in to show Aspades Ad The board dealt out is 4s 3s 3c 8d 5c and Paul Jackson as good as doubles up. Loks like the chip daddy now.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 09:18:16 PM More action on Table Red/Jackson.
Board is 9c 2s 2s Qc. Dave Smith bets 1500. Player to his left - we think Stuart Pearson reraises to 3000. He has 2500 behind. Dave Smith immediately reraises to put Stuart all in. After a dwell Stuart folds for his last 2500 - pot was almost 7000. Dave Smith shows Qs. There is a lot of game on that table - probably one of the tougher but most interesting tables - some of the play elsewhere has been that of a one day comp with players calling with Queen high for 30% of their remaining stack. This is definitely a sit back and let them knock themselves out comp to a certain extent. As an aside - just heard one table discussing the fact that one player went out within 4 minutes. Someone asked "Is Tikay playing then" Never ends.... Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 09:34:34 PM Yet more action on table Red/Jackson. Just as Red and I are discussing Ed Giddens choice of venue for his third date. Red is in BB with rags. Raise from seat 5. reraised all in from seat 6. All pass apart from seat 5 who calls for all his chips.
Seat 5 Kh Qs Seat 6 7c 7h Board comes Jd Jh 4c 2h 3h 3h - no help to the original raiser and anoher one bites the dust. Team trumper has voiced his concern that this may turn into a 1 day comp - not by design but through lack of remaining players. Field is slightly lower than expected - down to Bahamas who have claimed players such as Thewy and the Irish Poker Championships in Galway who have claimed such players as Mick Mccool. Team trumper already looking forward to next month - and so am I - if I can get a sattelite to this I will - it's a great competition - i am green with envy that these guys are playing.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 10:20:21 PM Loitering around the Wernick table that now features Simon (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=399) Nowab (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=399) and Tim (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=431) Blake (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=431). Tim was massively chipped up now down to 2k approx. Had an 'accident' in his words and 'back to playing the short stack as usual' he said glumly. But he's not out and hate to say it but he has a chip and a chair....
While loitering Lord Wernick collared me - "hello darling" he said. I was delighted he remembered me from when we played on a final table at Brighton last year (I lasted longer then him by the way!) I leaned in to Lord Wernick to catch any pearls of wisdom he was going to share with me. He said "Could you take this plate away? - I keep on reaching down to eat these chips and they're cold" Was I devastated? - yes. Did I refuse? Of course not - as i dutifully leant down to lift the plate up I found myself bobbing in a sort of curtsey to Lord Wernick. On retelling this story to Tighty he immediately commented "How Mickey could confuse you with one of the waitresses I don't know". Guess you know who your friends are......

Lord Wernick in a hand - board is Qd 2d 5c Qc. Checked to Lord W who bets 1500. All fold to the BB who bets all in - Lord W insta folds. Hands in till?
Another table Wernick hand - Lord W on button flat calls. No raise from BB - Tim (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=431) Blake (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=431). Flop 6s 5h 7c All check. Turn 7d. SB bets 200, BB calls, Lord W raises to 1100 very firmly - chips banging onto table. All insta fold - Lord W has spoken. This trend continues - Lord W has learnt that a 1200 bet wins at the moment and repeats this move the very next hand with 5 people in the pot - they all fold. Great when you know the level that scares people. Nowab chipped up - about 15000 (ave 10k) Sitting at other end to Mickey, Simon has the ice bucket and a bottle of champagne by his side enjoying the high life. A few more chip counts - Des (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) Jonas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=129) 9200, Up the Mariners 9500.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 05, 2008, 10:45:25 PM Suitably refuelled Red raises 2 seats after the blinds to 1500. (blinds 150/300)
Folds to BB who is torn between calling and playing his hand and starrting his burger and chips that is cooling nocely by his side. He has 6500 in chips. I think Red may have raised his blind before. "I can't keep passing" he warns Red as he ......erm......passes. Red wins a few more chips to boost his 7k stack. Dave Smith offers to tell me how many chips he's got. It's alright I tell him I've counted them. "How many have I got then?" he challenges me. "I've rounded it down to 14000" I tell him. he counts his chips - "Not bad" he acknowledges "I've got 14250. I should remember never to argue with a woman" A little late but a lesson well learnt! He is such a lovely man - though that hat puts the fear of god in me - when ever I see it it represents a winning player to me and I start doubting my hands. Tighty smiling inanely - just got a norkage pic and he's very pleased with himself!! Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Bongo on January 05, 2008, 10:46:39 PM 4am (ish).

Des Jonas calls blind so he can play against matey boy. Matey boy folds (sigh - what a damp sqib that threat was) Womble checks. Flop is 2h 3s Tc and Womble in SB goes all in. Des calls "sick call" he says. Womble has Ts 8c Des has 5d 4s Board comes: Qh 4h and Woble doubles up.......Another service gladly provided by Blonde poker.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 06, 2008, 12:01:19 AM Table Womble - 2 lovely players from Liverpool with very strong scouse accents - having a conversation that I just couldn't follow - if they were playing in Vegas I'm sure by now they would have been told "English only at the table".
Womble on the button looking a lot better now with 11,000. Romanello - two before Wombles button raises to 1100. One before the button goes all in for 2670. Romanello doesn't have to spend much time dwelling - he folds - trying to justify his fold with a sage "You have a really massive hand - i am probably dominated" 27 players remaining - ave chips 17,222 Blinds 200/400 with ante of 50. It's grinding time for a few players now.

Ben Callinan raises to 1,200 RED pushed 12,000 all in with Aspades Qs Ben calls with Ahrt Kd the flop brings Ac and Kh and there's no way back for RED 24 now left on 3 tables Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 12:33:30 AM I took a wander to find ironside and on the way I saw the following hand:
Dave Smith stealthily limped under the gun, Simon Nowab is next to act and throws in a chunky raise! All pass round back to Dave Smith, who dwells for a while. Eventually he passes and Simon remarks "It's hard work stealing 400 chips from you". "What do you do with a pocket pair" replies Dave "You're ahead!" "I know, but what do you do with a pair?" Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 06, 2008, 12:40:11 AM Table Jackson/Nowab - and the boys are getting feisty - jackson raises and Nowab calls in the blinds. Board comes Ac 4d 3d Th 3c. Jackson bets and Nowab calls with the 4 but Jackson had 8s 8c.
They are having a great time and laughing all the way - it's like watching an edition of cash poker. You would never think they are playing for a first prize of £11,470 Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: jizzemm on January 06, 2008, 12:44:57 AM Bed is required....

Flop goes 3h 4c 4s Pete bets 2075 into a pot of 3500. Rana calls. Turn 8s. Rana bets 4k leaving him 9925 behind. Pete calls. River 8h. Rana goes all in for his 9925. Pete calls, insta mucks when he sees Rana's 8d Qc. Nice pot for Rana. During all this Lord Wernick is trying to push the action on. As Rana dwells after the turn Lord W is asking "Who's it on?" just to get everything moving - it works - Rana made his move. Another tip from the Lord.

I don't know what Pete had - he didn't show - but yes Rana called the bet of 2075 with Q8. Perhaps he thought he was going to make a move post flop - try and outplay Pete - I don't know. Did he play like a Donk? I'm not sure - if he wanted to make a move he then found he didn't need to when he hit a card. You'll have to make up your own mind on that one. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 06, 2008, 01:35:07 AM It's getting to that point in that evening when we're not seeing many flops - lots of button raises and the blinds folding. We're off to get some chip counts while Tighty and Bongo wait for breakfast to arrive.
I have overdosed on caffine and cola and feeling a bit sick - either that it it's being in Tighty's and Bongo's company for so long. I must admit that I haven't laughed so much for ages - anyway on with the game.....

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 01:50:02 AM We took a wander to get some chip counts and caught the tail end of the following hand between Richard Berridge and Micky Wernick
The board AK68K. Berridge had bet the river and Micky raised. After a bit of a dwell Berridge passes saying he was giving Micky respect and shows AQ. Micky shows 1 card... an 8! Also saw Raj Dhiri treble up with A9 v K8 v Rag 3 (maybe a 7 or 10!), he hit his 9 and the rest of the board was blank. On 9k, his highest all night! Counts: Richard Berridge 42k Pat Kelley 46k Raj Dhiri 9k Ben Callinan 40k Hongji Liu 14k Imran McKenzie 14k Micky Wernick 36k Stephen Walmsley 11k And as I was typing this Raj doubles up again with A9 v A10, so must be on 18k or so now! Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 06, 2008, 01:51:30 AM Hand between Pete L and Dave Smith. (As reported by Pete)
Dave raises and Pete calls with Tc 7c Flop comes 8c 3c 4h Pete bets 3500 and Dave flat calls. Turn comes Ad. Dave bets into Pete (amount unknown) and Pete moves all in. Dave folds showing Kc Jc. Pete dominated but Dave couldn't make the call against an all in bet.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 06, 2008, 02:27:23 AM Just been a short break and I grabbed the opportunity to have a quick chat with Womble.
Me "Grinding away Womble but what a great recovery." W - "I'm where I always am, grinding away. Me and Mickey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283) Wernick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=283) get used to it. Whenever we play together we go out at roughly the same position" Me "Well lets hope that you go out first and second in this one then" W - "I remember travelling back from Brighton one night and Mickey said to me 'can you find a better place' and I've remembered that and played to it all the time. I may be short stacked but i don't care what cards or chips the others have got - I'm just interested in what I've got and I'll pick my spots." Unfortunately as I type this I hear that Womble is no more.... Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: TightEnd on January 06, 2008, 02:29:57 AM Marcus Bebb Jones out in 13th

On the button raises to 2500 (blinds 600/1200 ante 100)
Small blind (Ben Callinan) reraises by picking up a lump of chips and dumping them over the line. The bb folds and Raj rererises all in with an instacall from Ben. Raj shows Ac Ad and Ben shows Aspades Ts. The board comes 7h Jd Ahrt Ks Qc and Ben rivers the straight sending Raj home with an apologetic smile. They will try and play down to 7 tonight to save anyone coming back tomorrow. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: TightEnd on January 06, 2008, 02:43:48 AM Ashraf Waheed is OUT in 11th
Fnding an Ace on the button short stacked, in it goes, only to find Keith Littlewood with QQ in the big blind, and no help arrives for the short stack "He just keeps getting hand after hand" laments Ashraf So we are down to 10 Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: TightEnd on January 06, 2008, 02:45:36 AM and immediately Chris Cancilliere falls in 10th at the hands of Dave Smith who hits a flush
So its the final, but remember..only 7 are paid Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 02:50:34 AM I just talked to Raj about his exit hand.
It's passed to him on the button, and he has AA with an 80k stack. He minraises to 24k and the SB pushes, Raj obviously calls and SB shows A10s. Board came JxAKQ... pretty sick!

If it were me on the final table I would now be going off on my own and having a word with myself and trying to get in the zone. These guys don't seem to have a care in the world, all having a laugh and chatting among themselves - this is how the big guys obviously approach a final table. remember there is £31,000 at stake here. I wonder if having a more relaxed approach helps your game. But surely you have to take it seriously. I wonder if underneath it all their hearts are hammering as hard as mine would or are they really as relaxed as they seem?

Richard Berridge is on the button and he is facing a raise from Dave Smith in the SB. After a dwell Richard folds and Dave starts his normal chip gathering exercise. Keith Littlewood starts the interrogation but Dave isn't telling..... Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 03:06:20 AM Was just taking photos of the final table and saw the following hand:
Paul Jackson raised to 4k UTG, and Keith Littlewood, who was next to act, called. The flop came K35, and Jackson bet out 3k (i think!) and found a call. Turn was a blank and both checked. River was another 5, Jackson made a beefy bet and Littlewood called only so be shown the rockets!

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Bongo on January 06, 2008, 03:30:51 AM Pat Kelley makes a small raise on the button to 3600.
The blinds, Berridge and Smith, both call and see a flop of: Kh 3c 5h Berridge checks, Smith dwells up before pushing all in, Kelley gets out of the way and Berridge calls... Berridge had 7h 7c Smith had Kc 9c Turn and river Qc Kd And Richard Berridge was eliminated in 8th place. However play is continuing until 4am tonight. As he left Berridge said "I just didn't believe you had the king".

Next one out is guaranteed £1240. UTG Micky Wernick makes it 5500, Hongji Lui pushes all in. Micky is about to call when he drops some chips in his hot chocolate and decides it's a bad omen and passes, saying he has AJ. Hongji shows 99.

3 players - button, SB and BB - Keith Littlewood, Lui and Ben. Flop goes Jc 4c 7c. SB & BB check - Keith bets 2000 (min bet) Lui folds and Ben flat calls Turn 6s Ben checks, Keith bets 5k and gets reraised by Ben to 10k. Keith calls. River comes 2s Ben checks as does Keith. Ben turns over 2s Tc for flopped flush, Keith had 9c 7h. Should Ben have bet the river - or was he trapping, or wise to think he might be out flushed?

And no offence to snoopy and floppy, but I for one have read THIS update a hell of alot more than the EPT bahama's update - nothing to do with their style of updating, just that I feel there is alot more interest in this comp than the EPT? Also, dt (http://www.dtdpoker.com/aff/BlonditesDownload)d (http://www.dtdpoker.com/aff/BlonditesDownload) has a 2 day event which finishes in a day - maybe a good argument for changing the structure? But then again, if the numbers were greater, it wouldn't of finished in a day - so maybe the structure is spot on? Anyway, sounds like a great comp. Just wish I was there.

Thanks for a great job with the updates. I am sure even with only 62 players this event should have taken 2 days but as pointed out the players did seem to play very fast early on, i kept checking the average stack in relation to blinds, when they decided to chop it on a chip count the average stack was 77,000 with blinds starting tomorrow at 1500 3000 300 so very playable. Next month i expect to get 80 to 100 players and will stick to this buy in for now ( i considered a £300 Deepstack ) as although only 62 played the tournament , 154 more came for cash games and STT and i dont know how much effect Ireland and the Bahamas had, however i will probabaly increase the starting stack to 10,000 and a 45 minute clock. I will also see if we can run some super satellites and more STT's even if it is just a case of opening earlier for the first time on the day of the event to hold a Super. Tonight is our £200 event, last week we had 58, it wouldn't surprise me to see at least 70 this week and 10 cash games as Sundays are getting more popular every week.

always nice to see dave smith in the top places. it would have been nice to have more reports on the local players,alot of who didnt get a mention.i know that you guys may not be bothered about them but loads of them read blonde and will be dissapointed. ive had a few phone calls today from people that played last night and all said that there were lots of big hands that were not reported.some felt that because they are not blonde regulars they didnt get a fair deal on being updated. to be fair to tighty and tracey they wont know the names of alot of the players,but these are the people that are at dtd for every comp and so to not get hands reported is not really fair. i know that im going to get slated for this but thats just the way it is.its nothing against the updaters who did their job well. FRAN Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: wizardora on January 06, 2008, 02:21:56 PM Fran
Thank you for all your support Fran, the comp last night was very strong and the some of the play was great.

Not going to slate you, thanks for the feedback Its just of case of spotting the hands we can..especially early on when there are six or seven tables on the go a lot of hands are going to be missed, and then trying to work out who is who and the rest..probably easier for the regular updaters who can do things more efficiently than I can I don't know who will be updating this next month, but I'll pass on a wish for more coverage of their locals..any lack of coverage for the locals this time certainly wasn't deliberate. Please pass on my apologies for any disappointment. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: K9sixtwo on January 06, 2008, 02:55:07 PM Bravo ... Really enjoyed reading that ....

last night was the first time I came on blonde for many months as I wanted to watch how womble and zach did at dtd. I have to say I was dissapointed with the updates as there wasn't much poker content on most pages. The fact there were 6 or 7 tables and more than one updater doesn't really wash with me as most updates you do have many more than 6 or 7 tables. So many big names went out early without even a mention. I can understand the updaters may have been busy watching ironside/red or drinking and the real updaters are away at another tourney (ecellent reports from the PCA). Can I ask how many blondes are from Nottingham? surely it would make more sense having locals updating rather than sending people each month. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: TightEnd on January 06, 2008, 03:46:45 PM Again, all feedback is welcome
Whilst it is true I/we missed the exit of Simon (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=402) Zach (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=402) (early I assume) we did follow Womble through the evening and I believe, re-reading, that there's plenty of poker content as we went through the night I don't think any of us touched a drop either! The point about using local blonde players to help with updates is interesting, and something I'll pass on Thanks Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: ripple11 on January 06, 2008, 03:51:30 PM For the record, I thought the content and pics were excellent.....especially considering the A team were elsewhere!
A good mixture of info and blonde watching. ;applause; Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: ariston on January 06, 2008, 03:54:43 PM not just simon and I wasnt meaning that, we didn't see many of the early eits seeing as so many players were commiting suicide early on. Wasn't meant as a personal dig but something I have noticed on a couple of updates . I like Tom, Tikay, Ironside as much as anyone else but there is more to the pokerworld than the chosen few.
I think the using local updaters has some merit to it as most would happily do it free of charge I'd imagine and we could see some different writing styles. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: ifm on January 06, 2008, 03:58:49 PM In all fairness this was not a scheduled update (or was it?) and Tighty and Tracey did very well IMO for complete newbies, ok they don't know the notts crowd but who cares this isn't a notts forum.
When folks request chipcounts and updates this happens (mostly) so i don't see the problem, if the Notts crowd want a secular update then do it yourselves or ask the updaters for erm updates........... I do think you should use locals though rather than peeps driving 100 miles, only so you don't have to add extra banners/more rake to cover the petrol money. BTW norkage was lacking, you'd think Djinn was still in control............... Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: TightEnd on January 06, 2008, 04:00:48 PM not just simon and I wasnt meaning that, we didn't see many of the early eits seeing as so many players were commiting suicide early on. Wasn't meant as a personal dig but something I have noticed on a couple of updates (the last one was the gukpt at blackpool where I went very deep and was involved in some serious pots to take chip lead and some more than interesting plays reported on every other major update site present). I like Tom, Tikay, Ironside as much as anyone else but there is more to the pokerworld than the chosen few. of course, I didn't take anything as a personal dig As we've discussed recently elsewhere on blonde (tikay raised the question of what type of updates people wish to see and from where) we strive to provide a balance on live updates between following people who we are requested to follow or we know are popular and the wider event. and I do believe there is an element of luck involved as to whether you as an updater are actually on hand to record a key pot...last night it certainly wasn't for the want of putting the effort in. that said, the more experienced (and better than me!) updaters have more of a chance of doing this and getting that balance right I think. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: ariston on January 06, 2008, 04:01:49 PM the one bit of norkage I thought was fine and would suggest a thread devoted just to the head valet- bikini shots if possible (happy to do potography free of charge for you guys).
Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: RED-DOG on January 06, 2008, 04:03:42 PM Mr Reddog Was it the fast clock and to few chips that made you shove 12k in with AQ Just wondering Regards M No, I can't say that at all. I didn't play last nights event particularly well, but I was in no immediate danger. I had been card dead and short stacked for a while, but was a relative newcomer to this table when I picked up two good hands in quick succession. As it happened, I re raised early position raisers with both these hands and won two decent pots. A couple of hands later, the AQ hand came up, there was a raise and as the action was passed around to me I thought that if I were to re raise again, the original raiser might fold, or, because of my apparent bullying tactics, call me with a worse hand. IMHO if you are going to play AQ you need to get your chips in first and force your opponent to find a big hand or pass. Had he flipped JJ or lower pair I would have been happy to race at that point. If I have more chips at this time, I probably do play it differently, but my situation was down to my poor play, not the structure.

With a smaller reraise it sends signals of a stronger hand than AQ given your stack. Of Course this depends entirely on your opponent.

Whilst it was a scheduled update (we are clearly keen to update at dtd wherever possible in 2008) we were struggling as aside from the lads in the Bahamas the other four regular updaters were unavailable for various reasons confirmed on Thursday at 4pm! I was actually going to go solo until Dingdell and Bongo offered to help 48 hours in advance. With a bit more planning (by me) I might have thought about local people, but live and learn..however both DIngdell and Bongo did a great job I thought. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: littlemissC on January 06, 2008, 04:32:22 PM In all fairness this was not a scheduled update (or was it?) and Tighty and Tracey did very well IMO for complete newbies, ok they don't know the notts crowd but who cares this isn't a notts forum. i dont think anyone has said they did a bad job...When folks request chipcounts and updates this happens (mostly) so i don't see the problem, if the Notts crowd want a secular update then do it yourselves or ask the updaters for erm updates........... I do think you should use locals though rather than peeps driving 100 miles, only so you don't have to add extra banners/more rake to cover the petrol money. BTW norkage was lacking, you'd think Djinn was still in control............... and the notts crowd as you put it,probably made up 80% of the runners in the comp last night..i just think if this is going to be a regular update it might help to know the names of the people that will be playing in every update FRAN Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Newportlad on January 06, 2008, 04:36:01 PM I enjoyed this updates last night.
I haven't looked at the EPT Bahamas update yet. I think this is because the EPT has now become inaccessable to grass roots players such as myself. I still enjoy the EPT updates, but prefer to read the UK tournaments.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: George2Loose on January 06, 2008, 04:49:14 PM I can see both sides.
Updaters did seem to report on the same players but then they were the best "known" players..... Would have been nice to hear about how Phil, Stacie and Sam all went out as was requesting updates all night. However acknowledge that this was some of the updaters first go. Hope to be there playing next time! Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: ifm on January 06, 2008, 04:50:45 PM ok......lol I'd have thought you were the perfect choice to update Fran, though as a single bloke i h would've given tighty the chance in the hope of some decent norkage, sadly hindsight is too wonderful a thing.

FRAN Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Geo the Sarge on January 06, 2008, 05:17:56 PM It was noted last night that Iron had pen & paper with him at the table to take notes, there are others that do likewise.
Just a thought, however as Blonde are looking to make this a regular update on the monthly comp and it looks like the comp will increase in numbers in future making it more likely that good hands and exits may be missed. Would it be possible to make up small pads of hand notes to be made available to the tables so that tables may be able to note down interesting hands that are missed by the updaters? Something on the lines of post-it pads pre marked with: Blind level............ Bets pr-flop................. Flop Cards..XXX Bets post flop.............. Turn card..X Bets post turn............. River card..X Bets post river............. Cards shown............... P1..XX P2..XX P3..XX etc Winning hand.....xxxxx Pot size..............???? I'm sure these pads can be printed up and produced at a decent price. Just a thought Geo Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: charmaine on January 06, 2008, 05:36:30 PM Havent read the updates for awhile , must say really enjoyed reading the DTD one .

I am always grateful for any sort of update, especially when you consider they are FREE to us the viewer/reader. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: gatso on January 06, 2008, 07:24:55 PM is Ironside still in?

I'm sure these pads can be printed up and produced at a decent price. Just a thought Geo This is an interesting idea but when I'm playing I would have to say that this is the last thing I would want to do - i would rather concentrate on my game. But if people want to do that let them - all information is gratefully received. I am obviously disappointed that we are unable to be all to all men/women, when updating it's difficult to watch 8 tables at a time when there are three of you and then get back to the desk to report on the hands. I have great admiration for the likes of Snoopy, Jen and all the professional updaters who make it look so easy. I love reading their reports as they bring the whole tournament alive. The difficulty is covering everything, it just isn't possible, we would need a crew of at least 10 to do that - especially early on. One updater per table, and two people typing the information in. Think about it - as soon as you leave the table to get back to the computer you miss any more action that happens - it's just one of those things. Thinking about it further - we would need at least 11 people - we would need a runner to take the info to the typists! Start playing more on the Blonde card room people - they need more money to provide these free services to you. Regarding who we report on - you have to take the action you see and report accordingly - and I for one was more likely to report on players known to the majority of Blondes as it's a countrywide (actually world wide these days) forum. I tried to inject some local colour and included players like Richard Berridge. Having said that this competition was played very fast, a lot of players appeared to play this as a one day competiton and what should have been a two day comp only lasted one. We had our first player out in the first 4 minutes and Tikay wasn't even there!! Therefore you can only imagine the amount of action that took place all at once, it was very difficult to report two days action that was actually condensed into one! I'm sure that as the blonde updaters get to know the local players they will be included more, it's very logical, I'm sure had updaters from Nottingham reported on a Luton game the criticism would have been the same. As for saving money by using local reporters, I haven't cost Blonde a penny. I volunteered,I haven't taken any expenses even though they were offered. I'm sorry if my reporting didn't meet everyones requirements - the fact that I was a last minute stand in is no excuse, I should still do a job properly or not at all - but I did what I could. Thank you to DTD and especially Simon Trumper and Danny, we were very well looked after with food and drink (although no alcohol passed my lips) from DTD. Thank you so much to them for looking after us so nicely. It was a good comp and next time I would prefer to be playing it! Again apologies if I/we missed people. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: taximan007 on January 06, 2008, 07:53:06 PM Posted this Yesterday, posting again just to reiterate my thoughts on the updates.
Top Reporting guys with good array of pictures. Thank You. Have to say, Tracey you have a natural talent for this updating lark, quality stuff. Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Geo the Sarge on January 06, 2008, 07:57:11 PM Nice post Tracey, and as a regular viewer of all the live updates, I actually thought that you all done a good job last night. Like Taximan, i don't complain at anything that's for free anyway.
My thoughts were for the people who seemed to know that there were updaters there and chose to highlight the fact that they or hands that they had been involved in, were not mentioned. This is so often the case, people complain after the fact, they never seem to highlight it at the time. If I were that keen I would have no hesitation in introducing myself. I first thought about this a while back when during one of the live updates DC took the time out on one of his tables to scribble a note of an interesting hand to one of the updaters as he thought (quite rightly) it deserved a mention. This can easily be done by someone at the table not involved in the hand or even during the subsequent hand by someone not involved in that. I believe that if players were briefed beforehand that this was available and that they can have their progress watched by friends & family at home, quite a few would be happy to oblige, hopefully whilst doing so, also adding to the Numbers on the forum, especially if the note pads have Blonde logo/website on them.

tracey i sent you a pm to tell you the post was no offence to you or tighty but you can take that however you wish. i have been an avid blonde supporter for 2 years now but never did i think that having an opinion that differs to the majority would cause this much grief. i never once said anything personal about the updaters,but certain people have run with what ive said and turned it into something else.i find that sad tbh. again,next time i hope im there and will offer help to the updaters on players if they wish..however i dought that will now be the case. sorry if i offended everyone FRAN Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: ariston on January 06, 2008, 08:24:24 PM my comments weren't aimed at you or anyone in particular tracey so I appologise if I caused any offence as non was intended. I was trying to say there is a lot more to live poker than the usual faces thats all and this comp was an ideal chance to give some other players their 15 minutes of fame. Maybe its because we have been spoiled in the past with snoops etc giving us his wit instead of the usual Red dog folds and is shortstack/ironside first out and already in lapdancing bar/Tikay has fallen asleep again comments ;)
hats off to anyone who tries updating- I've helped out once or twice and it was bloody hard work and I usually lasted a few hours then went to the bar.

I was merely explaining why I found it difficult to meet everyones expectations and how I wish I could have done. I hate not being able to do something to everyones requirements - I like to do things right but unfortunatly everyones right is different!! ::) Constuctive critisicm is essential in my view to help grow and improve, and I think a lot of the points raised are very valid. It's the first DTD update and I'm sure a lot of this will be taken on board and used for the next one. That's why Blonde is so good at this - the powers that be listen and act on what they can. No one should ever be worried about making comments imho - this is a forum for goodness sake!! :) Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Dingdell on January 06, 2008, 09:21:01 PM my comments weren't aimed at you or anyone in particular tracey so I appologise if I caused any offence as non was intended.

I hear what you are saying Ariston, and I know you haven't been on the forum for a little while, so I'm not sure if you are aware that there is now a non interactive thread as well with only the action being relayed. It's a great addition imho as it cuts out all the posts from readers and only shows reported hands. With regards to your comments about Ironside etc, I guess we react to the mood of the forum and there was no doubt that the forum was buzzing with the 'Ironside' possibilities. He is a popular member of the forum and people were naturally interested in his travelling from Scotland to play in the game. To try and keep that to a minimum we did start a separate thread 'Ironside watch' to keep that out of the normal update thread a bit but still please the forum members that wanted to know how he was doing. Even now people are posting trying to find out how he is doing in the £200!! Anyway - lets see you playing in some of these soon - haven't seen you at the tables in ages - would be great to play against you and when we both get knocked out you can show me where the bar is........ ;kev; Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: Compo on January 07, 2008, 11:58:33 PM Just to put my 2 bobs worth in.

Title: Re: DTD January £500 NLHE: Day 1 Interactive Post by: londonpokergirl on January 09, 2008, 03:58:21 PM Thought i'd add my tuppence worth
Good content, good update, but I tend to agree with Fran. Please don't flame me for this, but DTD is now the new flagship for poker and its where i'm now taking my roots to play. Most of the Gala Notts players are now playing at DTD and they are a lovely friendly crowd and something which you don't find in many card rooms but the term "Notts players" are pretty much DTD locals now and how fantastic for one of the best cardrooms on their doorstep. I think a local updater imho would be better because they know all the players and the "Faces" but also the way that DTD have set up their system Danny Bell (TD) could give you a players name from his system if you didn't know the persons name but maybe they were chipleader at the table and you needed to know for an update. Its not just local knowledge thats needed but an all rounder who can liase with all poker players and not just "Faces", getting facts, chip counts, photos and its damn hard work, been there done that with little gratitude at the end, but we all love the updates and keep them coming |
