blonde poker forum

The blondeites have landed ... Myself and Claw will be bringing you all the thrills and spills from the Edgeware road as poker players gather from all 4 corners of errrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmm the world to do battle for the spoils at this prestigious event.

We will be doing this update in 2 ways ... I am going to be on blonde watch, following closely the forum members, Claw will be taking requests for chip counts and info from other players.

Its interactive guys ... we need you to play along.


Player list as soon as we get one ...play is due to start at 2pm.

Snoopy used to do a funny story to start the updates.... :(

Co-pilot Claw checked in and ready for action.  The clawchester-kev combo can only be good news for norkage fans of every persuasion, as while Kev does his usual totty search I'll be on the lookout for the best male specimens London's premier cardroom has to offer.  Welcome to nork-wars!  If there's time between talent-spotting we'll post the odd update on the card game, so don't be shy with your requests!

Norkage update

1.49pm No norkage

 >:(

pictures of player mulling about plz

anything will do.............

Cameras have just arrived ... will be a while til i remember how to upload them :D

Kev probably having the staff lunch with Flushy at the mo be patient I've every confidence in his norkage gathering abilities.

jones supposed to pick me up at 3:00pm they still not out of bed yet, this gives me less time to graft with his super fit cousins norrrrrr :( 
[  ] great start

2:00 - same

pics of these two please trigg...

Had to double-check then that you weren't asking for pics of Trigg and LeKnave!

the picture BH has apparently doesnt do them justice, BH may post later

Good luck Kev and Claw, enjoy!

Hope you get to sit ringside otherwise....enjoy the walk :)

Best of luck to my housemate Evans, who continues his scintillating absolute luckboxery run of form in live comps. He is clear favourite for 2nd imo.

Also best of luck to Jen, who despite not playing is 125-1 to win according to blue square's list of odds. Girl's got skills!

If either of the updaters can get a pic of the winner holding a sign saying "I'm on a boat!" I will be forever in your debt.

If no one knows what I'm on about, pls investigate.

Kev and I are currently battling with the technology, but hopefully all will be well by the time things kick off.  In the meantime, here's a norkage pic which should cater to everyone's tastes...

so disturbing, you sure your not in some tranny bar

and they're off!

(http://www.heritagegown.com/image/smell.jpg)

yep things aren't too bad - a makeshift pressroom has been set up in the 2nd floor restaurant, so we're just seconds away from the action!

Gl all Blondes playing... norkage pleaaaaasseeeeeee

What he said ^^

no need to fear - Kev's norkage gathering as I type. 

I'm not playing until tomorrow.

Where's the clock containing the obligatory Sicilian/Sicillion insult please? Is Celtic still in?

that is so uncannily claws and kevs love child from a former life

No news of Bobalike Lite's demise yet, so we can only presume Celtic still has chips or has snuck out quietly.

161 players have started, with alternates allowed for the first two levels.  Full player list coming your way as soon as we receive it.

Just a reminder guys, that we have Corporate Sponsors for almost all of the GUKPT Season, & the DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) £300's & Biggies, but we had no sponsor for this.

Until Chompy & BobAlike stepped forward, & met the cost.

Our thanks to them both.

Without them there would be no blonde Update for this Event.

Best of luck to all Blondes today - esp Leknave if he is playing

Any sightings of Middy or Tommy MFKN C?

Also can you wish Mick McCool best of luck - nice bloke - but tell him to take that scarf off - its spring now!

Flushies table has just broken, probably a good job as his table included Dubai, Ian Frasier, Steven Pearce ... hope his 7k in chips grows at his new table !!


Also just seen Ketul Nathwani scoop a 3k pot when his 700 river bet on a board of  Jc 5d 5s 2s Kh was called

Ketul showed  5h 3s as his oppo insta mucked

If you get a moment, can you tell Nicky Evans I'm not happy about the size of our electricity bill.

If he can't please his woman, could he at least do the honourable thing and stop plugging his ancillary equiment into the mains and buy batteries instead.

Thanks.

still very cagey (apart from Flushy obv) break shortly, hopefully we will get some chip counts soon after the break

I'm not sure that even counts as a bok!

UL Flushy.

This just in...Celtic just had AA cracked by 10J and down to 3,000.

struggling a bit on the male norkage front I'm afraid, but here's a couple for starters...

not sure how this one snuck in...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/Picture003.jpg)

Hi all, bit of a cheeky first post I guess, but any chance of an update on Andrew Seden? Thenutztv seemed to think he was knocked out but have since changed their mind...

Dubai has joined Flushy at the bar...


I got there as Dave Clarke was betting 1100 on a flop of   Jh 6c 6d

Dubai said "Fk it, i might as well do it" and shoved his last 3.5k in saying "I might have 3 outs"

Dave Clarke showed  Jd Kd

Dubai had  Ahrt Kh

Turn was  3s

River   3c

Exit Dubai in the direction of the bar.



Nick Evans was seen giggling as he waved to the pair of them :)

Claire has just nipped off to get a few chip counts

approx chip counts:

Adam Stoneham: 30k
James Akenhead: 9k
Karl Mahrenholz: 20k

Nicky Evans currently hiding behind a huge 33k stack

I shall don my deerstalker and polish up the old magnifying glass and see what I can uncover for you

not looking too good I'm afraid - there is an alternate sat in his seat.....

a few more chip counts

Dave Colclough 9k
Dave Clarke 9k
Paul Jackson  13k
Thewy   14.5k
Kellster 8k
Jim Reid 17k
Flushy 0k
Dubai  0k

Players are now on a break.  148 remain from a starting field of 163.

apologies that the clock at the top of the page seems to have gone a bit haywire - will get Kev on to it!

Nice to see Jacko has got off to his usual high octane flairy start!

Back at the tables and news reaches us that Nicky Evans is second in chips at the break.

Standard. gogogogogogo

Jon Raab is inputting the chip counts, they will be with us shortly

damn - thanks for the update

I've just been catching up with our favourite Bobalikelookalike and he relayed details of this hand, played just before the break.

Our hero is down to 2700 and limps in mid position with  Js Qs. There is a raise behind to 800, which is called by the BB, and our hero elects to smooth call also.  The flop is  Kd 9d 6s.  Celtic is pretty pleased with this - a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw to boot.  Check, check, Check.  The turn is the rather scary  6d.  It's checked to our original raiser who sticks in a bet of 1500, and called by our first player.  Celtic shoves with his remaining 1800, and unsurprisingly both the other players feel obliged to call.  5th Street is a rivertastic  Tc and our hero takes the lot!  Up now to a very playable stack of 6k ish.

 ;flushy;

Spoke too soon about chip counts ... not til the next break

Did they rake the pot?

3 x 2700 chips = 8100

details, details.  Can only presume he's donked a few off since then.....

connection is very flakey here ... on and off like a whores drawers !!

Whores wear drawers?

Not often

Can we have some pictures of the aforementioned whores?

appreciate an update on Paul  Coyle table 6 seat 5, ty

Andy Ward news please..

Nicky Evans when he doesnt see the camera

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25779&g2_serialNumber=1)


Then when he does ...

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25781&g2_serialNumber=1)

Celtic/vinny/bobalike doing what he does best ;)

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=25783&g2_serialNumber=1)

Thewy is OUT !!

Didnt see the exit, just caught him jogging off down the stairs

nothing much to report from the floor - play is still cagier than a battery farm.  In the meantime Kev Spielberg has been having a play with a nifty video gaget thingy we've been given to use, and if I can keep my laptop powered up for more than 5 minutes I'll do my best to bring his debut film to you soonest!

Micky wernick is having a decent start ... he is sitting behind a stack of around 25k

Gonna need a crow bar to get them off him !

Paul Jackson on Flushy ....

After Flushys exit, i asked Paul to teach him, Paul said "he played like a mug .... actually thats unfair, he isnt up to mug standard yet, he aspires to play like a mug ! "

Flushy last seen laughing loudly in the bar ... he could have saved 1500 quid and just gone to a local gay bar in brighton ;)

Claw is off with a camera , pen and paper.... she will take a snap of table 6 seat  5 and get his chip count.

Lets hope its your man.

my hotel is located in Sussex Gardens... i understand there is some ladies of dubious reputations nearby ;)

gl all blondes, especially celtic and nicky.

Celtic clinging on to a bowel of rice, same as usual

lol that is right in the middle of the red light district, the vic put me up in hotels ther quite a few times. every time you get in at 5 you get offered.

oh any updates on the romanello boys please.

and more norkage

nh sir. A+

Dave Colclough has been as low as 2k but now has his starting stack back !! up to the heady heights of 12k

Nicky Evans 35k

Ian Cox  11k

Steve Kirk  4k and shoving

Jim Reid  7k

Karl Marenholz is OUT

His short stacked push on the flop with a flush draw was called by top pair .... brick, brick ... and we are a hit squadder down.

If he's still in the same seat he's on 14.2k.  I've taken a picture to aid with identification which I'll upload when technology allows!

Jake Cody update plz!!

is this him?

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/Picture006.jpg)

Have the camera ready on your way back Kev.

Dewi's rate my whore thread could be golden!

....keeps their ankles warm

Geo

KEV, can you find out the reasoning behind the idea to feed the players at the table. Is that going to be the norm?

Thx for the updates btw

They have done it here for the last few GUKPT's ... I know not why.

just the one Romanello here today in the form of Roberto.  He has a humungous mound of chips - a shade over 40k I would say.


sitting comfortably on around 20k

Steve Kirk has gone, lost most of his chips when he hit a flush on the river ... his oppo unfortunately liked the river more... it filled him up !

it was done first when the resturant was upstairs and they didnt want to lose the patrons in the resturant so tey decided to feed at the table

Nick Persaud 6k
james aikenhead 8k

oh ok, thx for quick reply. A lot better than those other updaters* imo ;)

* not including Snoops

40 minute break .....


I am going to go outside for a smoke ... its fkin boiling in here !!

I might get round to answering some PM's as well.

They should just bring in about half a dozen troughs, that should sort em out

WP,NH, GG Flushy

level?

Quick quiz question for you to mull over at the break ...


Whose card got declined at the cash desk and was then seen wandering around the cardroom saying "FML" ... before nipping a bag from Dave Colclough ??

not the kellster?
surely DC would never fall for that old chestnut. Its usually "Ill give it back after 12 as ive used my limit for today"

surely not the flushster?

Has his live in houseboy fooked him over?  ( not for the first time )  :D

dubai, they can only get a grand a day and he has been at the bar for a hour, the peasant

I'm going to attempt to film a player interview or two during the break.  Please send lots of 'happy working computer' vibes over the interweb, and I may even be able to get them uploaded today.  Otherwise, Kev's going to see if he upload them back at his hotel.

kev will be uploading into something else in his hotel room

What connections are you working on?

it's not so much the connections that are the problem Maureen - the laptop I am using has developed a habit of switching itself off every 5 minutes :(

update on adam vinson if possible please. gl mate!

it is so hot in here ... I am sweating like a dyslexic on Countdown !!

Celtic less than a bowel now, down to 3.2k. Class will out, though, so he'll soon be gone...

action on table 9 with a bet, raise, reraise all in and a call on a Qh 5d 3h flop.  Tony Dobson has Qd Td for top pair, while Adam Stoneham flips over Qc 5c for two pair.  No help for Dobson on the turn or river and he is eliminated.  Adam Stoneham now has a very healthy looking 45k chipstack.

Rana Gurnam is OUT all in pre for 10,100 with  Ad Jd but Barney Boatman was waiting behind with  Ac Ks

Rana out, Barney up to 28k

great updates guys :)

Denis O'Mahoney has gone ... he went for the much needed double up, but it was an epic fail as he was last seen gathering his belongings and heading for the exit.

BOWL ... not BOWEL ... they have really different meanings ;)

Apparently both can be rinsed out though...

one is more painful to clean though.... :)

Guys can you let me know if the Wu on table 3 seat 3 is in fact our Colin Wu from Dundee? Appreciate it if you can.

Giving one a good thorough clean makes good radio apparently...

I have turned the clock off at the top of page ... will keep you updated with runners/blind levels etc  in posts

We are now on level 5

104 left

ave 18,600

Blinds 150/300

Celtic gone, his bowels are now empty.

* I learned this spelling of bowl from the Walsall updates imo

Doesnt look like the blondepedia photo tbh

Vinnialike has indeed departed.  He shoved with 8s 6s on a 4s 5s 2d flop and was called by Aspades 7s.  Brick, brick, and game over for Celtic :(  On the plus side, he's just scrounged himself a free ice cream :)up

rumour has it Vinny's assassin was heard singing this song to himself soon after Vinny did the walk of shame (warning - contains material that's NSFW)

oh didnt realisde charalambous was playing today.

gl adam and ben vinson, and pete charalaralaralaralaralarambous

Nicky Evans on 33k

Ian Frasier just lost a 40k pot Chris Bjorin shoved the river of a  Ad 8s 2h 8d 5c board .... Frasier dwelled for ever but eventually made the call of Bjorins all in of 13k but sighed and mucked when Bjorin showed  Ahrt Ac !!

Ok Kev, thank u pal, I was told he took down a big one yesterday, but we haven't had any confirmation yet.

oh good luck adam vinson too. tbh though, jamie brown has chips, gg field.

Level 6

Blinds are now 200/400 with a 25 ante

96/161 remaining

Ave is 20,100

what time is this due to finish 2nite?

we reckon it will be around 2 ish

prefer the dealer but each to their own

Adam Vinson has just been called to take his seat at a cash table so I think we can safely assume he's out.

thank you Kev

and sorry Alex  ;)

ah damn, unlucky bud

Can we play "guess Ketul's car?" What car do we think Ketul drives?

I'll go for a BMW of some sort

Meanwhile, I was ambling past table 1 when I caught the tail end of a hand that will be pleasing to the monkeys/chompies among us.  

Sylvester Geoghehan had seen a flop of  Aspades 9s  3c and moved all his remaining chips over the line.  After thinking for a while, his opponent passed, and Sylvester flipped over the mighty  9d 3d.  Underestimate the power of 9 3 soooted at your peril!

lol...either that or an Audi..one of them flash new ones with the fancy headlights

17 guests viewing.......................come on don't be shy...step inside join up see it all ..not just the snipits..it's free you know.

looks more to me like the rest of the table are getting very bored with his Tommy Cooper impression....

Does anyone know the result from Luton last night

Lol, behave Jim!

The Kidz will never believe it, anyway.

players are now on a short break. Blinds will be 300/600 when we return

Not naming names or anything, but here's the link  http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/25442

A fantastic UK results service is just one of the many great offerings here on blonde :)up

http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=blonderesults

A very fine looking line up on Luton's final table last night imho :)

Some old fogey won it.

LOL.. nice one TK

I also shipped the tourny in Manchester :)

It was a great deal too  ;hide;

;applause;
Are you going to spin it up at the Vic?

At the break, Nicky still has 33k

Ben Vinson has 45k

They are on the same table as Dave colclough who still has around his 12k starting stack

And coming back after the 15 minute cig/wee/moan break will be 83 players on 9 tables

blinds will be 300/600 with a running ante of 50

Ave stack is 23,300

Err, no!

I'll be there on Sunday, with In-Poker's cameras, and Davina Compton, though. Should be a great Final.

Can't believe how fast the guys are getting ko'd in this one. They got a train to catch?

good table, wouldnt be surprised to see fireworks between ben and nicky.

Forgot about this till just now, great updates guys :)

I was thinking the same. Last few times Ive played live the standard raise at 25  50 seems to be 500. wtf

lol it was for you in the end - check your PMs!

What seems to be up with Mickey, looks like hes snarling at someone.
 I heard Kellster was on his table lol

Mickey was snarling at the kid in the pic with the yellow t-shirt on ... Mickey had just folded a set of 8's on the river of a  8h Td Qc Js Ks board

His actual words were ... "I was never calling kid, i was just having fun listening to your speech play, save it for the kids, i have heard it all before"  rotflmfao rotflmfao

38 rebuys from 50 players?!?!?!?!?

The locals must have changed since I used to ply my trade at Luton that's for certain.

one rebuy per player allowed, 4000 starting chips

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii N1  guys n gals   ;karabiner; ;karabiner;

Neel Chudasarma and Gary Woodward would have found a way to have 10 rebuys each regardless of piffling little rules like 1 rebuy per player.

Nicky Evans & Ben Vinson have already started, nicky folding to a 4 bet from Vinson... and was showed  Jh Jd as a reward for passing.

can i have a photo and some updates on roberto romanello please

Just caught up, great updates.
Pity my twins not still in.  :(

You sure can sir, I will get claire on the case as soon as she comes back from her fag break

is that gandi ngo in the yellow. if not it looks scarily like him

Nik Persaud is out ... "Never picked up a hand all day, it was a real struggle"

Just got up/caught up with updates.

gogogoogo Nicky!

can you ask mick mccool who won the fancy dress prop bet - or does it include this event?

chip count on Mick too pls

Mick is out I'm afraid

chip counts on dave johnson and dave lloyd please

sorry to say that there appears to be a Nicky Evans shaped hole at table 1 - details to follow....

R u srs?

Im such a bok, why did i post.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

junnnnnnnnnnne

PUKE

Nicky opens for 1650 (blinds 300/600) from 26k stack

Ben Roberts shoves for 8k

BB just smooth calls the 8k from a 50k stack


Back to Nicky... and he decides to shove his chips in...

INSTA CALL from the big stack

On their backs

Ben Roberts has  8h 8s
Nicky Evans has  Qc Qh
And the BB had  Ks Kd

No 2 outers appeared and a rather dejected Nicky Evans departs the tournament.

Roberto is currently smiling behind a 37k stack. Pic to follow....

James Akenhead has doubled up to 30k with Ad Kh vs  Aspades 5s all in preflop

Courtesy of Jamie Brown I hear, could be fireworks now on that table...

aplogies for the delay - technology really isn't our friend here today!  Roberto took great pride stacking his chips, whilst cheeky Dave Courtney gave the table a bit of a wobble.  The chips stayed up - hoorah!

I'll answer my own question then. on the player list as hoa ngo so I'll assume that's gandi's real name. keep an eye on him, best player to come out of the gutshot imo, destined for big things this year

some up to date counts

Davood Merhmand 42k
Kellster   23k
Mickey Wernick 12k
Rumit Somaiya 40k
Peter Charalambous 38k

Believe it or not Dave Colclough STILL has around 12k .... top display of grinding imo.

66 left

Is Paul Alterman still in pls? If so chip count pls tyvm

How many do you think will come back from today, and how many will start tomorrow?

Busier tomorrow Tom .... I overheard the number of 182 already registered for tomoz

as for today, i reckon 40 - 45

how many runners is there today?

161 starters today

down to 7k ... shove is imminent

Ive just been told theres very few seats for 2morra,and i should think at the rate they are falling today there will be only 25-30 back

I'll let you off :kiss:

Hi Steve ... Havent spotted Woodley today, I assume he is about tomorrow ??

Also would be nice to see you at an event soon .... been too long.

Even Dave Barnes was saying he missed you when I spoke to him at Brighton the other week.


25-30 might be a bit on the low side imo .... but you never know.

Just spoke to paul and he has 32,000.

Good stuff, must have had a rush, will keep an eye on him for you from now on.

Been impressed with him the few times I've played with him at the Gutshot. If he wants to be taken seriously as a poker player though, he should change his name to Sit Ngo

How many levels left to play today please?

Ians going 2morra,but i dont think he has a ticket yet,and i hope to play in brighton on 12th april,hope to see you there !!

Rosh,

Just wanted to say I love you.

9 levels

currently half way through level 8 ....


Current state of play ...

62 on 7 tables

400/800 50ante

Ave 31,200

Sorry PoshRosh, Paul is out, ran his  Qc Qd into  Kc Kh .... oooops :(

Good new grinder fans ... Dave Colclough ia at an all day high of 15k !!

Mickey Wernick down to 9k
Vic Kanwar  12k
Kellster 30k
Rumit 40k
John Kabbaj 65k

Brighton on the 12th .... its a date ;)

STEADY !!!!

brilliant.  ;tightend; can't believe that's never occurred to me

I'm cheap, a bag of chips and a toffee apple and im happy :)

Just been informed. Danny Devito impersonator Freddy Deeb will be playing on Day 1B. :D

Im sure flopps will be fawning over him all day like a love sick teen ;)

I've been mooching around table 4 confident that we will soon see some action there.  Nothing doing thusfar, but in the meantime, here are some approximate chip counts from that table for your delectation:

Jamie Brown 45k
James Akenhead 24k
Roberto Romanello 35k
Dave Courtney 32k
Tim Flanders 25k

Players have just gone on a 15 minute break, after which they'll play out the last level for today.

Kev, Ironside has taken over your keyboard!

After the break there will be 58 players returning for the last 1hour long level of the day

Ave is 33,300

blinds for level 9 will be 500/1000  75ante

full counts to follow

Really? I've never been impressed with him when I used to play at Gutshot. He always played his hand pretty face up and was essentially a rock. With his style I think he'll find it hard to accumulate chips without a real sustained rush.

Nice chap though who's speech fools many.

Action on table 6! With blinds at 500/1000/75 Jake (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2897) Cody (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2897) raises to 2.5k in mid position and is called by Matthaios Armeftis in the cut off. Richard (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2835) Kellett (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2835) re-raises on the button to 8.5k. Cody folds and Armeftis moves all in for an additional 17k. Kellet thinks for a minute before making the call. Armeftis  Kd Jc Kellett  Kh  9s. No help for Kellett from the board and Armeftis doubles through.

R Romanelli ftw!

He's always playing in my STTs so he is. Hope he binks a big stack today.

great updates kiv & claw.

gd luck to dave courtney & spence 'spence on blonde' lawrence.

I hope when he gets knocked out the person who does it asks for his tshirt and their buyin back.

LOL!

Reading between the lines ftw

Kellster is out

53 LEFT


Rumit down to 15k

16 minutes of the day left ... looking like 50 returning

They have stopped the clock at 16 minutes ....

and someone has drawn a card from a choice of  5d 6d 7d 8d all face down obv .... and the card thats picked will be the amount of hands left to play.

He picked the  6d so thats how many hands we will be playing.

this is wrong imo. Worst thing about Grosvenor tour

They should be using spades, not diamonds

LOL

lolol spades FTW!!

Home and a working computer and reliable connection beckon. I shall leave you in Kev's capable hands as the day's play draws to an end. I'm hoping to get some vids up later from home. Toodle pip for now!

right then ... seeing as the cardroom has been cleared ,and bagging and tagging has started .... thats your lot


I will put up end of day chip counts as soon as I can ....



Dont forget to join us tomorrow for Groundhog day , when another lot of poker warriors will turn up at the vic to do battle.


Im off to stalug luft for a shower and a kip .... probs at the same time as the roof is leaking over my bed ;)


hope you enjoyed the updates 

Thank you for updates. v much appreciated

Shite updates. Where do you find these amateurs?

You have to be kidding me about drawing cards and not going by the clock???
If that is true and by some mircale I was still there at 1am tomorrow I would tilt all my chips off. Absolutely guanranteed if it
was decided only 5 hands to be played with 16 minutes left.
What a load of bollax, who dreamed that cack up?

quick one .... final number of runners returning for day 2 ... bang on 50 !!

Maybe following the Bellagio

thanks for the updates... looking fwd to tomorrow night

pmsl.

I don't believe that you are scottish.

I'm here all week

Cheers for the updates guys, looking forward to tomorrow.

Good way to do it, imo. I used to work the GUKPTs and you'd be lucky if you got 5 hands in the last 20 minutes as shortstacks would take 5 full minutes making decisions to avoid having to post a BB before the end, as there's a seat redraw on day 2.

Agree with this seams quite fair to me!

Hi Martin,

If you don't mind me asking, why would something so insignificant trouble you so?

Whether you agree or not, it's not that big a deal either way, surely?

Come on Dad, your better then this!!!  Ad Ac

Calm down, calm down!!

Is it because it takes away your edge that you always go on about? Stalling is it? I know you hate hand for hand with a passion :(

Good luck tomorrow x

[ ] I didn't get lost on the way home
[X] I am shattered

muchos respect for those that do this week in week out - it's going to be a long 3 days ahead!

No joy with the vids I'm afraid - the software just doesn't want to play :(

See you all at 2pm tomorrow :)up

These - I think - are the end of Day 1a Chip Counts, sent to me by Jonathan Raab, many thanks to him. Hope I've interpreted them properly, they were on some weird spreadheet thingie.

Seemingly Day 1b has sold out - 200 seats - so 2 Tables have been added, bringing capacity to 220.

Well done on the updates peeps.

Those aren't the final counts, as some of these people have busted

Don't know what the copying/posting/linking ettiquette is but they're here

http://blog.grosvenorukpokertour.com/

Danny Dborin is a regular at Luton - so I wish him good luck - there on the back of an £80 satellite - mbn

Top updates as per...

Cheers

Just caught up, great updates looking forward to todays.

gg wp kev and clare  ;topman;

He'll need plenty of luck from here...looks like he went out late, as he's not on the final 47 on Dry Em's link.

thanks for the updates guys, hope you pulled on the way back to the hotel Kev

That t-shirt should be forevermore called his bukkake tshirt.

LOL.  So wrong.

thanks rod, there's an image I really didn't need

so who is this Jamie Brown then?

oft mentioned on the update as a star

That's weird, but thanks for pointing it out Karl. I just C & P'd the spreadsheet that Jonathan e-Mailed me.

He sent me the Chip Couts via e-Mail every 2 levels yesterday - how's that for service?

I'll C & P the Grosvenor Chip Counts shortly, with thanks & acknowledgement to Grosvenor. As they originally sent them tp me - albeit, it seems, iwith a few inaccuracies - I'm sure they will not mind.

jamie brown, good aggressive young player ,hails from the old thanet casino,went to uni,now plays online,mostly party poker,when he gets chips .........danger

I didn't need it either - sharing it out has diluted the effect in my mind though ;D

Diluted bukkake - sick man.

i can only read the updates with firefox when the clock thing isn't on. when it is on all the text is squashed over to the right of the screen. it is OK in IE all the time but it would be good if I could read them in FF. anyone got any ideas?

the clock has been turned off for the time being

kent uni?

'twas fine for me in ff both with and without the clock yesterday

it's always the same for me in FF, as nobody else has ever mentioned it I imagine it's some setting or something that's not right in mine.

wey hey ... great result guys   :)up

Thanks for the updates and the donation behind them



(Claire - if there's no male norkage at the tables for pics then try the barmen chicka ;-)   )

What could he possibly be implying? He has an 11% ROI in SNG's....

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/fulltiltpoker/R+Romanello/poker/results/E3928011BAB24669A71312A0CA5345ED.html?t=2 (http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/fulltiltpoker/R+Romanello/poker/results/E3928011BAB24669A71312A0CA5345ED.html?t=2)

If you sharkscope him you see the numbers -9% and -$28k and it looks bad. Isn't all that when you consider the red pros get 100% rake (http://blondepoker.com/redirect.php?id=1)back (http://blondepoker.com/redirect.php?id=1).
In reality, he's probably only down a couple of bags, and that's perhaps due to running like tez at the $525s (10k of his losses have been from just 25 of them)


When it comes to game selection, I don't actively seek him out or anything. In fact I'm pretty sure he's a +EV player at my level. Would certainly rather a random donk I'd not seen before than him at the table.



Actually just wanted to wish him well!

look at the link tank...

100% lump on now!!!!!

Single Table 3-10      $183,604     <$0     -10%    $129    9     0%     533/1594     33%

-10% roi?

I did.

Just want to be fair and point out that given that he has 100% rakeback the man is a winner at mid limit STTs ($50-$200) over a sample size of over 1,500 games.
