blonde poker forum

:hello: and welcome to the monthly DTD event, the second one, but the first £300-er. Also, it's my first at seeing what an exquisite place DTD is. Lots of people are here already, and there's already 87 runners confirmed, a player list will hopefully turn up after we start. The way this is working out the Dortmund EPT event should be finishing just as we are starting...hopefully.

Let us know if there's any people you'd like us to especially follow.

Good luck to the hordes of Blondes at DTD, im off out tonight but will be checking in later!
Go go Blondes!

Good luck to all, my 3 Blonde picks:

M3boy
Red Dog
Chilli

Looking forward to this.

:goodpost:

Have a good one Blondes.  I am off out I think, if I can be annoyed moving my fat lazy @rse off the sofa.  I am currently playing a few online comps will keep an eye on this thread though. 

I plan to be at DtD in April for this comp, would have been March but am off to Barcelona.

Good luck to all Lutonians. Any updates on Dominic Kay appreciated...he'll be the studenty-looking fella annoying the rest of the table

Apart from the norkage which I'm sue Kev is on the case just now, good luck to all Blondes tonight.

PLAYER GONE

Table 27

pre flop action 3 way.... raise, re raise , re re raise, call ,call,   


Flop  8d 8c  6h

all the money goes in 3 way...

On their backs

seat 2 Daniel Girderstone shows  Kh Kc

seat 3 Ahmed Shafique shows  Jh Js

Seat 4 Serge El Fady shows the rather willy stiffening  6s 6c and with the turn and river coming

 2h

means that we have lost Ahmed & Daniel is down to dust ... and Serge is our early chip daddy !!!!

Kev, can you ask Rooks if entries submitted after 11am can be counted?   I stuck mine in at 11.22am, bit late but well before first race.

Oh, best wish him luck too :D

Kev,

Tell Iron it's good to see him looking well from me please.

Geo

My 3 picks

Matt674
Chilli
M3

Chilli takes an early pot from Ben Vinson after betting 400 on the river of a 6c Ks Td Jh 6s board. Elsewhere Compo has bluffed off 2/3's of his stack including a 3k bet on the river of a Kh Kc Qh Js 3h board. His opponent James Egarrr, (sounds like a pirate), making a good call with Ad Qd as Compo could only say, "I'm playing the board mate," as he flipped over the 4s 5s. Those people who picked him ahead of Tikay should be worried at the moment.

Chip Colours:

Yellow -- 25
Black -- 100
Red -- 500
Green -- 1000

Kev meanwhile has gone on a norkage hunt, the troubles with the camera disappeared after it was revealed he needed to to turn the 'on' switch.

Just done a sweep of the card room armed with the camera .... (once i learned how to switch it on :) )

Now i just need lord floppy to teach me how to upload them and we are up and running...

Tikay is sharing a table with Des "Bling Bling" Jonas ... the rest of the table are all wearing earphones !!

.....

also saw an all in pre on tightys table (which also includes El Blondie) 2 players bioth table ACES... and despite me secretly hoping someone fllushes it just to feed my thirst for sick beats, the board lets me down and its chopped !!

Can we have a few more pics of pocketlady please?
She looks strangely familiar and i just want a good look  ;angel;

Oh and Chili doesn't help himself with the shirt/tie combo eh?

Evening all

Any news on an Eggs Benedict count?

I think we need a full Red Dog diet watch.

Surely no eggs after a Fray Bentos for brekkie earlier today.

I thought Chilli was the bloke with the moustache.

A multi-way pot between Compo, UpTheMariners, Jim Moult, and James 'the Pirate' Egarrr.

9h 2c 4d

Compo and UTM check, Jim bets 300, Egarrrr calls, as does Compo. UTM passes.

9s

A cautious check by all.

4s

Again all check, Egarrrrr shows 6c 4h which is good.

Danielle Allen bets 2,500 on the river of a Td Aspades Ks 9d 5d board.

She gets a call from Kevin Lund who calls with Ahrt 9h. Allen's backdoor nutflush Ad Qd scoops.

Ironside has busted someone holding a set of 8's against 2-3 on a T-8-5-2 board apparently.

PI Slade, Mickey Wernick, and womble ...

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8937&g2_serialNumber=1)

Mick McCool is OUT.

Errrrrmmmmmmmmmm can we make a comment or not
































wp gg etc. etc.

Who he ???


PS I wimped out and unregistered after being up since 6.30am this morning and being far too tight to donate £300+ for a social visit. Maybe see you all manyana.

Rooks seems to be hypnotised by something ...

Could this picture be classed as

NORKAGE & DORKAGE ??

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8939&g2_serialNumber=1)

The fat one?

Was Tikay in the pic then

news reaches update corner that Ariston has doubled up ... I missed the hand, but rest assured he will be telling all and sundry about it 461 times before the break, so he is bound to tell us soon enough ;)


Also heard a whisper that Compo has been all in more times than a hokey cokey professional !!!

Did anyone catch the result of the England vs Wales rugby?

our little update corner is right opposite table tighty & Colclough ... tighty hasnt played a hand yet !!  but the man folds with such panache its almost awe inspiring....

the player who is small blind to his BB is whistling happy tunes at the moment .... Tighty is showing no side effects to his recent candle drinking shenanigans, but having his blinds pillaged every round is bound to be getting on his wick !

Kev, could you ask Mr Red if he's put on some weight?..Or is it just the camera that adds 10 pounds?

Here is Tighty when the sb checked ... he was so shocked to see a flop he looked at his cards and just passed anyway !!...

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8941&g2_serialNumber=1)

a few chip counts from blondes ...

Monkey Matt 8.5k
Steve Read   4k
Compo          4.5k
Bookie Jim    7.3k
Chil              8k
Womble      9.8k

I asked womble if he had played a hand yet , his reply "Just the one, the inconsiderate gits limped in on my big blind"

Ariston has knocked out I think Mario Andreou holding Th 9h against Kings, all the money on a Q-J-7 flop but the former catching an 8 on the turn.

Pete Linton is feeling dirty, no not like that, he caught runner runner straight with his J-7 to win a decent pot against top pair. "Say it was against top set, it sounds worse then!"

Tighty is living outside the space time continuum

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8949&g2_serialNumber=1)

Lookalikey alert.............doesn't the guy next to Tighty look like the actor Pete Pothelwhaite (sp)

Kev, my hair is RED, not purple. Cheeky git.

I'm sat at the other end of the cardroom...and all I can hear is Ironside, as he actually passes for the first hand tonight! (Although he has been a rack...)

lol with Tighty in said pose :D

That pic cannot be right. It has Tighty seeing a flop!

 ;ashamed; ;gobsmacked;

Frame that picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, now that the EPT Dortmund has finished, I've commandeered the blonde clock for the DTD Comp.

12 places are being paid, with 1st looking to be just over £13.5k, having dropped the buy-in to £300 seems to have done the trick as the field has more than doubled from last month.

how slow are these updates ffs! ;) floppys ok but that half wit from essex aint got a clue imo  ;D

But they're FREE

I knew there was something +ve about them

Looks a little like iron.

Heres Ariston with LittleMissC ... Floppy brings news of Aristons tourny ....

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8969&g2_serialNumber=1)

Claw has just lost a big chunk of her stack with Aces, the flop came out K-K-Q and she ran into Richard Berridge's Quad Kings. Fortunately she still has 5,700 which is more than enough at the moment.

Ariston is out, pushing with Ks 7s on a J-8-4 two spade flop but running into Bo Le Cong's J-8.

(http://www.axminster.co.uk/images/products/TORSVA170_l.jpg)

;)

Heres one for the blonde scrap book ... Compo scooping a pot !!!

he held pocket 4's which tripped up on the turn, his loose reputation gets him paid off and he is now at the heady heights of 9k... not bad since he was down to 2k after the FIRST ORBIT LOLOLOL.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8971&g2_serialNumber=1)

also in that pic with Compo is Monkey Matt and UpTheMariners ... Matt is the one with fleas ;)

Matt you say?  Looks like Clark Kent to me.

sooooooo Ironmug raises pre ... shorty pushes and iron winces but with it only costing him another 1k to call, he reluctantly does ...

Both players show K9 OFF .... much laughter at the table ... UNTIL IRONFISH/MUG RUNNER RUNNER FLUSHES AND SCOOPS

he is now on 20k+ and is getting louder .... heaven help us !!

I bet you wish you had ear plugs..  Great update Kiv... Good luck to all blondes playing..  More norkage please to keep us homers happy !!!  :)

Diet? Moi? (Also note the class reaction from the guy in seat 1 too)

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8973&g2_serialNumber=1)

Mickey Wernick and Pete Linton

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8975&g2_serialNumber=1)

Rooks and Billy Quang Ngo

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8977&g2_serialNumber=1)

Just spotted this chap in the gents toilet, he was holding hands with some bloke and whispering about his impending application to adopt !!!

;)

rofl these updates are the best thing since sliced bread, keep it going

BREAK TIME .... we are about to be inundated with bad beat stories and the like ... i have a 50p jar beside me .... should pay for my summer holidays !!

Ironside has 19,000 despite bluffing off 8,000 having re-raised a 600 bet to 1,800 before firing two 2,400 bullets at a Q-x-x-x board but passing when his opponent moved all-in on the turn.

Its John Perrin ... no relation to Reggie apparantly

players are being called back, as a result of table breaks Tighty has been moved to a table alongside RedDog ... Last longer tipsters will no doubt be camping tableside like those saddos that queue up 76 days in advance outside wimbledon waiting for one or the other to play a hand !!

Also on that table is our favourite roundhead Matt Tyler who was last seen rubbing his hands together as he surveyed his prey.

Anyone check who won the drinks off Tikay for the number of entries and has Iron been next door yet?

This updating lark is so easy, someone once said they could dig up 2 people that could do it easy ...

Here are me and flopps

(http://www.dsphotographic.com/g2/4464-3/Zombies+-+024.jpg)

Looks like Dingdell won with the final number of entrants being 129... I told her to announce on the tannoy that she wants to buy everyone in here a drink ... tikay fainted !!!

looks like he who cany be named got really mad upon his exit! ;nemesis;

Barry (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1143) Carter (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1143) aka' Dave Shoelace, was not liking his table move a short while ago expressing it couldn't get much harder than being stuck with Lawrence (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=243) Gosney (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=243), Chris (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=65) Bruce (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=65), Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95), Tracey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=444) Dell (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=444) and Craig Owen around him. He's picked up a couple of decent pots on raggy flops and is moving nicely upwards.

Lord Michael of West Wernickestershire, just added to impressive wall of chips. Cold calling the 700 bet on a 7h 4c 7d pot, before the turn 9c went with a check check, on the river Qs the Mickster threw out three of these chunky lime-green chips as a 3k bet. Bryan Anglim shrugged his head a little, as thought he'd caught the river. Curiousity proved the better of him and he dropped in the chips almost in the manner of a man throwing a coin into a well. No wish granted though, Wernick showing the 8-7 to take the pot.

Ay blonde chip counts/how many has chipleader got?

yeah what he said and some norkage please

Norkage is on the way, meantime Mickey wernick and Iron are vying for the chip lead with around 30k

Chipleader at the moment looks to be the leg-end himself, Mickey Wernick. He's got almost 45,000 by my guestimation.

Steve 'CardShark' Read is OUT. J-T vs A-T on an T-9-4 board.

Also gone is ChunkyMick, I missed the hand but I think he had A-Q on a Q-x-x board, but I think Chris Bruce must have had a set as he was the one who knocked him out.

Claw is OUT. She's sitting here, but eating something distinctly unhealthy, some sort of French Toast/Bacon mixture...

no guesses on who will keep em the longest

Ariston got his hair pulled ... i dont think thats what he wanted Donna to do !!

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8981&g2_serialNumber=1)

Compo is walking on air after a hefty pot versus UTM.

Compo button raised, and Mariners re-raised from the small blind, which Compo called.

Flop:

6c 6s 3d

Mariners led out, Compo called,

2d

Check check.

Qh

Now Daniel leads out for 5k on the river, Compo waits for ages before calling with 4c 3c. Daniel mucks what's later revealed (after a requested to see the cards from one of the other players) as A-K. Compo is chuffed!

how many chips has rooks got guys?

and if you get a chance can u find out if numpty's gone skint on the cash yet?

Rooks has had a slow start, at the last break, he explained, "I've had to go out of my way bluffing 3 streets just to rid my rock reputation!" He says he's been incredibly card dead, not even suited gappers to experiment around with.

2 minutes 44 secs to reply how slow are these updates  ;)

cheers flops

Fran (littlemissC) has just trebled up ...

on a  5c  Ac  8s flop Lawrence Gosney Checked and so did his 2 oppos in the hand ...

the turn came the  2h


and the action went mental... raise, re raise, all in, all in, all in ....

Lawrence shows  5s 5d for trips

mateyboy shows  Ac 5h for 2 pair

and Fran shows  3c 4c  for the straight !!!

she is now on 27k and smiling

Here she is showing her relief as the river blanks and she collects the chips

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8983&g2_serialNumber=1)

Any chance of an update on how Daveshoelace is doing?

... and possibly a picture for my private collection? ;)

You've got two Ace of clubs' here..do we know whether the ace of clubs on the flop or in matey boys hand?  Just wondered.

Has Tighty played a hand yet ?

Ironside has lost a load of chips after having his Kings cracked by K-J.

The flop of A-A-x was checked, Ironside called a 3k bet on the Q turn and then a 5k bet on the Queen river.

Table 25 is thanking Ironside, as they've (perhaps mistakenly) all been bought drinks by him!

what a ludicrous suggestion

how does he lose the hand?

Rookie is down to 5k after hitting the nut-flush but running into a boat.


Sure can. He's got about 13k, just below average at the moment.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8985&g2_serialNumber=1)

Apologies, river was a 10.

I saw him go to almost look at his cards, but then he changed his mind and passed.

Compo gets muffed ...

His big blind and 2 limpers...

flop comes Js  7s 8c

compo checks first limper bets 600 ... other limper passes and compo smooth calls

turn comes  9h and compo checks ...

limper goes all in for his last 5k and compo immediately calls ... limper winces as he says "you have the 10 dont you" ... Yes says compo as he shows  9c Tc for the straight .... which is in good shape against limpers  Jd 8d

unfortunately there was still the river to be dealt ... and in typical gut wrenching fashion the dealer flips the  8s


Compo now back down to 10k ... his adventures at a card table arent for the faint hearted ... you are guaranteed a roller coaster ride following his poker exploits.

Ben Vinson is out ... sorry no details.

What a poser!

Sorry wrong Vinson... Its Alan Vinson thats out, Ben still very much alive and kicking.

Tighty's rock image has been shattered

(http://www.zymetrical.com/images/products/shatteredrock.jpg)

Matt Tyler, in the midst of handing me out a long abusive string of verbal diahorrea about me having a Korma whilst we went for a curry in Baden, raises to 600 from UTG, passed around to Tighty who makes it 2,600. Quintuple aces. Minimum. I think, Matt obviously agrees and passes his Ace King face up fairly quickly. Tighty flips over Ace King too! How can he re-raise with that filth??!? Then next hand Tighty open-raises and takes Matt's blind as well. I'm pretty sure he better be careful otherwise he'll get a nosebleed...

Fancy Compo to win this. Nice updates gang.

here is Welshman Carl Thomas ... Celebrating the Rugby score with his card protecter ... a fridge magnet sheep

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8987&g2_serialNumber=1)

Rooks looking relieved at doubling back up to around 12k

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8989&g2_serialNumber=1)

Always overplays AK, one of my notes on him ;)

Maria is now gracing the cash tables .... after getting quite short she picked the wrong time to make a stand and ran smack bang into ACES ....  Ac Ahrt <<< those ones, not Mr Trumper ;)

Ironside is out, a load of players limped in the pot before the small blind raised to 2,000. Iron pushed for around 5,000 more as the limpers folded and the small blind said, "Yeah, I'll call..."

"Oh, I don't like that," said Iron, with worryage in his voice flipping over pocket Eights, whilst the small blind flipped over pocket Queens.

The board brought the best non-setting board he could see though, as it came out Td 9s 7c only for proverbial bricks on the 7s turn and the 4h river.

Ok, I apologise about Matt talking crap earlier, he's just spotted the look-a-likey of the night...

arnold from different strokes, didnt realise dave lloyd was there lol

Big hand alert  .... (Jeremy wasnt involved then !! ... still too soon ??)

Annnnnnywayyyyyyy


Des Jonas raises it up to 2k (blinds 150/300)

Nick (Redbull) calls ...

flop

 3c 9d 5d

Des instantly shoves all in for 32k

Nick dwells ... stands up, sits back down ... stands up again ... sits back down again ... I did toy with the idea of moving his chair away if he did it again but nooooo ... he calls for his remaining 20k

On their backs and Des tables  Kd Kc

Nick grimaces and says that he hoped des might be flushing as he flip his  Js Jc

turn  6h

River  4s

And we lose blondeite Redbull ...

Desmond now on over 50k


Tikay couldnt resist telling me how a hand earlier he stole Des's BB with filth ... i was impressed until some one else at the table informed me that Des was actually out the back having a smoke at the time LOL....

Down to 76 as you can see from the super duper clock at the top of the page .... 3 min break at the end of this level ... we will be getting a seating plan and I will spend the break giving you a full run down of who is left ....

Great updates fellas, looks like a cracking event played in great spirit with plenty of banter flying about. Im sure the cash games that follow the increasing bust outs will be ledgendary as well, lol.

Im sure ill be a regual for this comp after WSOP

GL to all remaining blondes,


Pab

Rookie is soooo unlucky.

He got his 4k upto 15k, then gets 99 in vs AJ and river is obv A, so sick.

for his stack?

Bo Le Cong is the chip leader with I think 60k ish after having Kings vs Aces vs Ace Queen and catching the Cowboy first card. (Jacks also passed in the hand.)

Sigh ... rookie nicks my lappy to post his hard luck stories !!

lol so i gather hes out then

No sir, he has 8k, looking for a squeeze. He had built up to 15k before losing that pot.

Dave Colclough is OUT, as decribed to me by Pete Linton.

Pete limped utg with 6c 4c, Dave limped behind, and the big blind checked.

Jc Js 3c

Checked around.

Qs

The big blind bets 1,800. Pete calls and Dave calls.

7s

Now the big blind checks, Pete checks and Dave bets 3,500. The big blind moves in, Pete folds, and Dave calls with Aces, only to find the big blind has made the backdoor nut-flush with Aspades 8s.

Thoughts on this hand anyone?

He's not bloody out yet!

updates on *empty* please

Monkeyboy Matt is flummoxing Midlander Andy Johnson, pushing against his a raise once to elicit a fold, then shortly afterwards, Johnson limps and so does Matt and see a 4-way flop with the blinds. The board comes out K-9-4 and Johnson bets out 2,500 into a 2,000 pot or so, Matt quickly shoves again, the blinds run for cover, Johnson has a rueful glance on his face, turns over the Kd and folds.

Rooks promised he'd be squeezing, and after Tikay and the button limp, Rookie makes it 2,700 from the small blind, Des Jonas passes in the big, Tikay thinks and then passes and the button folds soon after.

Has played more hands than Tighty.

 :D ;applause;

Great updates guys.

Kev, your a natural, all the enthusiasm of a 3 year old on his 1st trip to Toys R Us  ;)

So as I'm walking past Shaf's table, whilst he's f-ing and blinding at nothing in particular using I think new swearwords that I didn't think existed, I bump into to Barry Carter being moved to table B5.

"Surely Barry, you want table C4, it's meant to be pretty explosive action-wise..."

"Eh? Oh errr....yes..."

And my joke falls flatter than the APAT Payout Structure...

any more rookie squeeze play news floppy?

Pete (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=348) Linton (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=348) has just lost a huge pot with Ace King to Ace Queen all-in preflop, hitting his King but running Queens on the turn and river knocked him back to 25k and the town of Ubertiltsville, population: 1

Tighty has knocked out Billy (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=49) Ngo (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=49) and another short-stack who shoved from the small blind, Tighty calling from the big.

Billy: Th 7h

Shortyboy: Qh Qd

Tighty: Ac Ks

Board:

5s 8s Kc 8c 5d.

Tighty on 16k and change.

Red OUT
Compo OUT

Flopps is off to get the details.

any news

Harmony has arrived ... she found a vagrant outside and brought him in for a drink.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=9003&g2_serialNumber=1)

Red shoved J-T over the top of M3boy raise, M3boy eventually calling with A-J. Compo no news I'm afraid.

Rookie just lost most of his stack with Jacks against Ace King. "Obv" he added.

He was all in with 9-3 against A-6 and 6-4 but spiked a 3 and now has 1,950...Short-stack Ninja time?

Also a SSN, is UpTheMariners who has been short basically the last two hours.

Compo pushed over the top of a 5k bet for 18k on a J-T-8 only for the OR to find a call with Q-J.

Rooks lost a hand with  Jh Js v Ad Ks

was away from table when he got called back ... he had 300 chips left ...

blinds at 300/600

he shoves with  9c 3h 3 all ins and his hand wins ....

next hand his  Th 6c holds up against  7s 8s

next hand his  7h 6s beats  Kc Jh  on a  Kh Js 7c flop  when the  6d hit the river !!

back to 8k

Nice picture. Glad to see Bainn finally decided to shave off the bloody beard  ;)

Turn card? I am guessing a 6 or 7

Best of luck to grumpy garnham aka m3 and all the blondites.

i hope paul wins too, maybe he will smile for the first time this year ;)

Daniel "UpTheMariners" Rudd is OUT, Ad Jc into the big blind's Ac Kh. A more charitable than usual Shaf telling him he'd played very well as a short stack.

Meanwhile, Marcus Bebb-Jones looks to be the chip leader with about 70k.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=9005&g2_serialNumber=1)

Oops, turn the flash on!

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=9007&g2_serialNumber=1)

That's better.

Welshman Carl Thomas (who is still going on about some egg chasing game earlier) has knocked out James the owner of the "karaoke bar"  next door with  Qh Qs v  Ad Ks

we are down to 50 runners

I am off to get chip counts of all blondes left in.

Kev,

see if you can get a pic of m3boy smiling.

ooops well spotted mate ... Flop was  Kh Ts 7c

LOL i will do my best, though i fear it may be an impossible task.

Tom 'Numpty Dumpty' Rutter (Younger brother of Stu) is still hanging on in there, but lost a 16k pot when his K-Q failed to knock out the A-J which we think belonged to Andrew Woods.

No it wasn't. Rooks had 7c 6c against Kh Jh the board coming Kc Tc 7s and spiking a 6 on the river. And that's straight from the horse's mouth.

Never mind Challenge Anneka .... CHALLENGE COLCHESTER !!!

first one he is almost smiling as he tries to make his card protector levitate

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=9009&g2_serialNumber=1)

And this one is NOT wind, he actually DID smile.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=9011&g2_serialNumber=1)

nope,

thats just wind.

good try tho kev.

Pete Linton pushes all in from mid-position, it's passed around to Reyaaz Mulla in big blind, who starts contemplating.

"Pass, I'm ahead," says Pete.

"I need chips though," replies Reyaaz, as he counts out a call. "I've actually got a worse hand than last time..." referring to a previous occasion that we had obviously missed, and he turns over Ad Jd, ahead of Pete's Kd 8c.

Board:

5c Kc 2h 3d Jc

Pete scoops up the chips, "I wanted the call, I can't win a coinflip so a 40-60..." using that perverse gambling logic that poker players occasionally have when they've been hit by the animal called variance.

sigh .... but its paul ffs .... thats the best we are ever gonna get, unless he wins the comp Thats the best we are ever gonna get !!  ;)

Break at the end of this level ...

I will get a list of everyone still in at the break ....

tell rookie to get his stack upto average stack or get out of there, numptys got a county pool match tomorrow!

ok ok good point.

i apologise. great picture of paul smiling.

good work.

Break at the end of this level, I will get a seating list of the remaining runners and post them up .....

will tikay still be in nursing his bowl of rice ...

will M3Boy be smiling ...

Will Ironside ever come back from his Karaoke trip  .... shall i have eggs benedict ...


soooooooo many questions.

Numpty is currently running naked around nottingham city centre somewhere ... the result of a 75pence prop bet ...

tikay is still in?

has anyone checked if he is still awake?

ffs whose the mug who bid 75p he'd of done it for 50p lmao

Tikay -- LOL Shoveaments
Tighty -- 28k (busting a stack with Ac Jc vs Aspades 9s)
LittleMissC -- 28k
RookieITB -- LOL Shoveaments

NB (LOL Shoveaments equates to 10BB's or less)

M3Boy is pissed, i repeat M3Boy is pissed..

He actually smiles and speaks at the table!!!

Thanks,

Rookie.

Ps, am down to 8k.. sigh.

I have Fran;s easy big blind to attack though.. ship.

Rooks is gone..

Push 11k, Tc 8c up against Ac Th, Ace on the turn sealed the deal.

Kev is a mug

Two more levels to go through before we finish play.

Philip Ashton and James Eggar just played a huge almost 60k preflop pot. "But what were the hands?" I here you cry, "...for something this big, surely it's Aces vs Kings or A-K vs Q-Q or some such ilk..."

No actually, Phillip button raised to 3,600. Eggar moved in for about 23,000 more from the small blind. Phillip called after about 30 seconds, with...with...with...pocket Fours. Eggar showed...Oh I can't add anymore dots to this, he had Jh 6h... The Jack hit and Eggar has a huge stack.

Next table, Pete Linton doubles through MalcM with Kc Qc vs Ahrt Jd on a 6c 3d 3h 2c Kh board, missed that action as I was dashing off to see Matt Tyler bust Paul Hambleton with Aspades Kd against Ahrt 9c then threaten to go all 'Bruce Lee' on the dealer jokingly, when the dealer wasn't sure if Matt had Paul covered. Either way, I think there's more chance of Matt going 'Bruce Forsyth' than 'Lee', the Spherical Wonder just needs his own custom pose now.

Some chip counts

Roundhead Tyler 19k
Monkey Matt 33k
Mickey Wernick 48k
tikay Bowl of rice
PeteL 30k
Dingdell 23k
MissC 25k
Regards M 13k
Tighty 29.5k

Tighty has lost about half his stack calling Dan Girdlestone's all-in with 8s 8c and facing the Ahrt Kh, he suffered a Barry Greenstein special...

Here's the opponent, and according to Mr Tyler, a Shane Warne-alike.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=9013&g2_serialNumber=1)

Malc-M is OUT, all-in with 7-3 on a T-7-6 board, called by Mickey Wernick (J-7) and Pete Linton (flush draw). Turn was a blank and river was another 7 giving Lord Wernick trips with a better kicker.

Just over one level to go and I can count I think 9 tables of cash on the go, it may be 3.20am but it's not dying down here.

Is the chap on the right of this picture still in? His name's John.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=8919&g2_serialNumber=1)

Doe or Smith?

Tighty is out, another lost race, this time he holds the Ac Kh against 7d 7s but misses.

Bizarre pot after a load of limpers, Philip Ashton makes a big raise only to find John Perrin reshoving behind him with 9h 6h, Ashton finds a call with A-2.

Board comes: 3-4-5-9-7!

Ashton Out, Perrin uberstacked in a truly "crazy" hand.

Marcus Bebb-Jones -- iorek

Tikay is OUT. K-J into Queens, hit his King but the Queens made quads...

We are wrapping up after this level ... 14 minutes to go ... i sense some small stacks pushbotting to either go home or come back tomorrow with a workable stack.

Possibly the most oddest pot all night...

Limped pot between Pete Linton and this guy in the small blind and big blind

Pete flat-calls a 5k bet on a Jd Jh 7c board before (I think, the oddness of the hand has made me forget the action perfectly but I'm sure Pete will fill it in later), check/raising a 10k bet to 50k more on the 8c turn. The big blind FLAT-CALLS with about 2k left. The river is the 5d, Pete sets him in and the guy starts to dwell getting 60-1. Pete looks at him, then gives me the most bemused look I've ever seen in my life. The big blind passes...

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=9017&g2_serialNumber=1)

(http://allsux.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/wtf-copy.jpg)

MPower is OUT. K-K vs K-Q, and two Queens hitting the board.

Gah.

Home already

still in tears

Regards

M

It was him in the stripy black shirt in the picture above

He made it  7k UTG I found KK on the big blind pushed for another 18k
thought about it for 10 Secs and called Q on the flop Q on the river 60k Pot.
And it's all over chip Av was 34k at the time

Sorry to go on 

Reyaaz Mulla gets it all-in with errr, the old 8c 2h...called by his opponent with Ks Kd, big pot as I'm guessing Reyaaz wanted a big stack or no stack for tomorrow.

Board:

Tc 8s 2s

"Oh ******* hell!" is the cry from Mr Kings.

2c

"***** sake!"

Kc

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!" Agony to ecstasy in the turn of a card, Mulla meanwhile laughs about it as he makes his exit...

Lovely job Kev & Floppy.  ;goodluck; all the blondes still in.

I'd just like to point out that despite what Kevs updates say, I'm actually still in,  though pretty short with 41,400.

Update on Mick McCool please.

If you haven't already, please go and read Junglecat's awesome final day report from Dortmund, it's very funny. And the thread deserves way more hits than it got.

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=30966.0

Excellent updates.
Best of luck to the two Matt's :)

I'd like to wish Fran best of Luck

A big couple of days for her with today and Hunt the Pro's on DTD on Monday night.

Regards

M

gl Fran, Pete and Matt

run good.

GL Pete, Fran & Dan Girdelstone (plays in Leeds)

gl all of you, Pete, Fran, Dingdell and the excellent b4Matt. Also chirs Bruce and the very pleasant Marcus Bebb Jones (Iorek)

Fantastic comp last night, awesome structure, good company

Well worth stepping into my space time continium for!!  ;)

Good job lads!  Enjoyed reading the updates this morning.  Best of luck to all the Blondes still in!!!

great updates, enjoyed reading them especially the Bizarre 'crazy' hand on page 4, it was down to Marcus putting me on tilt for a  6h 9h push.

Just get Julian to play your coinflips for you and you win!

good to meet you last night sir! Pete Posthlewhaite lookalikey!!

yeah nice one tighty same here atmosphere was awesome, Pete Posthlewhaite? my missus was in stitches when she saw that, she says i look nothing like him as he's better looking than me!!!!! Tell the guy's to get my good side tonight.

Pleasure being on the table with you sir. Thanks for letting me know who all the Blondites were, strange how I feel you know someone when actually I've only read their posts.

Good luck everyone.

Great updates Kev and Floppy.

Gl to all blondes left in.

Anyone know what time we kick off today? I dont wanna get there and find my measly stack wittled away to nothing cos Im late.

Fran told me it was 6pm on msn a minute ago. 

Club opens at 5.30 Baz, comp starts at 6pm.

I am sat in the lobby of the Jurys inn toying with the idea of taking Ironmug to Hooters for a spot of grub and a pre comp letch :)

ffs Dont tell Jane !!


Glad the updates were ok yesterday, I enjoyed doing them ... today I am flying solo, but will endeavor to bring you sketchy details of the comp and detailed reports on random tosh ;)

Finally on this thread I would like to thank ALL at dtd for looking after me and the floppster so very well yesterday, first class hospitality from a first class establishment. Muchos Respect !!

Christ, I was coming down for 7.

That was a close one, off to the M1 I go

Quick well done to the update team. just read the whole thread and it was like replaying the comp.
Also must say what a fantastic comp this is. well structured/well run and generally played in great spirit.

btw table 25 thankls ironside for the round of drinks early in the evening.

I was lucky enough to sit next to the owner of next doors "karaoke" bar for a bit. I am VIP'ed up to the hilt!!!  (lets hope so)

Reasons for going:

1)  You have a moral obligation to keep an eye on Ironmug
2)  Compo has been VIP'd to the hilt, so shouldn't cost ye much.
3)  It's not like any of ye will 'get lucky' there.
4)  Add to the rest...everyone knows those chickas aren't a patch on Jane.  No competition at all.  You're just doing your duty as a friend to Ironmug.

 ;goodvevil;

Reasons for avoiding it like the plague:

1)  Well, there's only one, really.  Is Jane in a good mood at the minute?  Because if she's not, ignore all of the above...those excuses won't fly when you get home.   rotflmfao

Have fun lads!

Lol spot of crossed wires me thinks. Hooters and the karaoke are two different places. Hooters is just an american style bar/restaurant with waitresses wearing little but not topless or anything. Its right near the hotel in notts and does a load of business with football fans etc.

Only one still going in the uk i believe.

good luck to the following players...

dessy
debbie
marcus
micky

matt tyler as well ;-)

Sigh....

I do believe it was ME that told YOU that there was a Hooters opposite the hotel!

No problem with karaoke either, just don't tell me about it....   ::)

Top updates so far, looking forward to another nights entertainment. I shall start thinking how to get you running round like a blue arsed fly  ;D

Yep, wires crossed...but the electrician's been and we're back on track.   ;)


RESULT!!!  Have fun lads!!!

So understanding.

I hope Fran wins i love her

 :o

GL Fran! TID

Are we getting a fresh thread for Day 2?

good luck to fran, peteL and bo le...come on a 1,2,3!!

Ooops - another unattended lappie I fear!

nice read sir  :)up

The very idea had me in a cold sweat.....

what a weekend, what a rollercoaster of a comp
what a night at the karaoke

within 4 hands i had already added 5k to my stack when a guy who refused to shake my hand afterwards
read me on the flop and turn for a hand beating his but was actually worse than mine called off flop and
turn bets before folding to my call me bet on the river (i had the nuts)

it didn't take long to get to 20k called a 200 raise in LP with 88 (50/100) flop goes 852 (floppy report it right next time)
i make it 500,bb makes it 2k i make it 5k he calls for his last 2.8k with 23o.

table starts thinking people are dumping to me,

i then take some chips off andy johnstone and a few less off m3boy, and get the 3 most dangerous players at the table short stacked.

the it goes wrong when some guy doubles andy up (he is on button to my bb) board is reading A37 last to act  bets andy in bb calls
T on turn andy check raises him, gets called , on river of a total blank andy moves in and guy calls woth QT,FFS if your going to double the most dangerous guy at table up atleast do it with a hand that could be winning,

i then took out the guy who doubled andy up when i make a steal from cutoff too 600 with k9o, shorty moves in for his last 1000 (600 more to call) i 4 flush him with my k too his 9, i take out another player and i am sitting at 27k when i played AK badly (shock horror) against andy who i was trying to avoid, he makes it 600 on button i make it 1800 in bb he calls, i didnt like this, flop came out q high, i make a standard contiuation bet of 2400, he calls, rag turn, i make same bet he pushes for about 6 or 7k more i fold,

i am down to 19k still way above average but i played like a donkey with Kings in sb think how to i lose the minium rather than how do i win the pot after a flop of AA4, checked round Q turn,checks he bets 3k, i dont have him on the ace and call, he bet 5k on river when the T made him a straight and i still call, for first time in comp i am under 10k and needing to gather chips again

no-one read me for tilt when i had 4 hands in a row AQ,QQ,JJ and AQ, finally after losing some of the chips i had won back with AQ after a guy pushes on a flop after calling my reraise preflop i wake up with 88 in bb, 3 limpers sb raises and i push all in thinking he is stealing the dead money possible with 2 high cards or a snall to middle PP and my raise could push him off, but after what seemed like an age and a count of my chips he announced "i have to call" he showed QQ no idea what he was thinking about it was only another 7k and he 30k+ before hand started.

i've never ran so good but played so poorly ever in my life next time i am going to goto the karaoke before the comp starts might get my mind in drive instead of reverse

lol just seen this...i love you to hun ;)
