blonde poker forum

Welcome to Newcastle for the Fifth Leg of the 2009 GUKPT

Day 1a begins at 2pm today and I'll be bringing you the action as the runners seek to emulate last year's winner Ganesh (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=144) Rao (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=144) and lift the trophy


From the Blue Square odds list  http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=42014.0 it looks like we're in for a high powered field

Also if you haven't entered yet please see the Live update competition. Guess the number of runners and win £100 direct into your blondepoker card-room account

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=41982.0

Also tonight is Leg three of the May League on blonde's cardoom. Why not play that while criticising me for the use of the term "back-raise", or not posting enough norkage, or heaven forbid my new trick..which is to describe a straight as a run or a set as a prile?

Details can be found here  http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=41635.0

As an added bonus if you bust Colchester Kev in that, preferably from way behind pre-flop, and post the hand history on the update thread you'll win £50 into your card-room account from me.


See you later, and hope you enjoy the updates!

 ;tightend;

Interestingly the etymology of Prile is a corruption of pair royal. I gather that in three card brag a prile beats a royal flush.

So on no account, no sirree, will I be describing a set as a prile or a wire up in today's update. Unless RookieITB is viewing

Good luck today...gonna be hard work me thinks.




























and that's just for those of us reading it ;)

Gl, any blondes playing over the few days??

Looking forward to the updates again. I'm being foolish enough to make the 4 hour trip tomorrow morning. There is no prospect of it selling out, is there?

Hi Stuart, not by the sounds of it no. Jon Raab confirms this

GL Tighty

It's actually very quiet in here today. Spotted milling about Jeff Kimber, The Camel, Mr and Mrs Flanders, Joey Lovelady Andreas Hoivold and Steve Jelinek

Expectation of about 50-60 runners today so far

*Tighty says ''thank f*ck''*      :D

good luck Tighty!

42 runners I think so far

Rick Trigg has managed to draw a table with on his direct right Ganesh Rao, Jeff Kimber and Julian Thew


C T Law is first out on the second hand. Lost a lot of chips first hand on a J J 6 J x board and then proceeded to raise on the button with  Ad 5h. Christopher Wright re-raised in the big blind with  Aspades 8c and Law, looking very cross with life to be frank,  pushed.

Flop  8d 7s 7h left him drawing thin and no help came

A half empty card-room, A5 off all in pre-flop second hand. Welcome to the GUKPT Twilight zone!

42? Yikes. Why so few iyo?
I was toying with the idea of getting the train up in the morning, as it's less than three hours, but not now.

Ar the reasons as simple as distance & WSOP so close?

Possibly, but add into the mix the DTD Biggie next week - their spectacular £1,000er starts Wednesday, so that's 2 grand to shell out in a few days.

Distance is not an issue. It's not far from some places which are quite near.

Rich,

Can we have a Count on how many Hands Albert passes pre-flop please?

With the reduced numbers Rich, I note 6 Tables have been set up. Can we assume from that, therefore, that even if a coachload arrive shortly, the MAXIMUM field today is 60? (+ any Level 1 & 2 exits).

6 tables so 60 plus alternates is the max today

Albert pass? not yet

Julian Thew is down to 2000

He raised pre with Pocket Queens and Ronald Wilkinson flatted with Kings

A Queen high flop was to Julian's liking and the betting went Julian 250,raise to 700, Julian 3-betting to 2100, flat called

Blank turn bet and called

River brought a King and a possible Flush. Julian checked and Ronald checked "just in case you have the flush"


and news just reaches me that Julian is now out, so that's one player Thewer in the competition (copyright J Raab 2009)

John Miller is also OUT

Raised with  Aspades Ks, flat called by Glenn Ashworth in the blinds with  6h 4h


flop  6s 4c 2d

Glenn  bets out and is called, in the words of Miller..."well he can't have hit any of that"

turn  4d

Glenn check raises and John Pushes "trying to get him off whatever he has got"

Ho hum.

one table has now broken. Wonder what the evening film is at the Odeon?

Julian was taken out by Henning Granstad. Julian flopped two pair and was called down by a gutshot draw which got there

Flippin heck!  And we thought this was proper punishment for you RSQ crimes.  Walk in the park is what you got instead FFS

Julian and Henning pre-Julian's exit

updates for willie haughey please

Step aside Jason Barrasford.

Rick Trigg just faced a situation

I arrive to see Trigg, the small blind, betting 1,200 into a 1,800 pot on a board of

 3d 8h 6d 3h 4d

only for Christopher Wright from UTG make it 3,000

Trigg made what appeared to be a reluctant call with  Jd 7d and was shown  Ad 8d



Elsewhere on a high powered table Karl Mahrenholz with only 3,000 left and Joey Lovelady down to 6,000 appear to have suffered at the hands of Andreas Hoivold with 20,000

On another table Andrew Seden is leading the way with over 20,000. Albert Sapiano down to 5,000

Late entries include Carlo Citrone and Michael Ellis

Here's the aforementioned Christophere Wright on the,er, left

Next to him Jim Reid and on the right Keith Hawkins

Keith whenever I walk by has the quizzical and faintly amused air of a player wondering quite what he is witnessing

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26282&g2_serialNumber=1)

Albert watch..catch him while you can

Sture Saxrud makes it 300 in mid position

Andrew Seden flat calls on the button

Albert Sapiano calls on the big blind

flop  Kd 8h Kc

Albert fires out 800, Sture flat calls and Seden passes

Both check the  9c turn

The river brings  Ac

Albert check calls the 600 bet from Saxrud, who holds  Ad Jh with  9h 5d

Richard "Golden Balls" Prew

Gets all the kudos and sympathy for having to do a GUKPT solo ... and gets a six table day !!


I reckon he googled it !!

To Colchester Kev

With love from your recently departed modding friend

Keith Hawkins

"I'm off the mark. I feel like Chris Tavare scoring his first run after four hours at the crease"


There, that's my obscure cricketing metaphor ticked off for the day

Tell Mo he is a billy. Its going to be finished by the time I get there at 10!

LOL weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee   TY TY TY TY

Not a single female dealer so far, not a massage girl in sight. Unfettered grip on a blonde camera for the first time ever and nothing to shoot.

In response to Cambo, Willie Haughey's chips are in play but the player himself has yet to arrive

Steve (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=414) Jelinek (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=414) has clearly been going great guns and is up over 17,000 already

A hand played out just now where he limped under the gun for 100

Christopher Wright made it 300 in mid position and was called in turn by Reid, Hawkins, Martin Cousins, Jelinek and David Powley. Crikes!

A flop of  Qh Qd Qc evinced a chuckle or two

Checked to Wright he made it 500, called by Cousins in the big blind

check check on the  6s turn

Cousin check called 600 on the  8h river, showed down  Ad 8d but was met by Wright's  Kc Ks

tyty, for all spurs/celtic fans out there he said the other night that its a done deal with scott brown moving down south in the summer for 10mill. with him being ex celtic director and knower of all things scottish football its a pretty reliable sorce.

drew a few gasps when he walked into the casino on the firday before the old firm game with sir alex  :D

My attempt to surreptitiously photo Dena backfired badly

Instead please focus on George "WellChief" McDonald, Sture Saxrud and Glenn Williams in the front!

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26286&g2_serialNumber=1)

Karl Mahrenholz is out. He moved in with pocket sizes, was called by the AK of Haitao Wu

board  Qd Qh Kc Ahrt Ts


36 left, down to 4 tables

What are they playing down to ... could be finished by 7pm

Jeff (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=195) Kimber (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=195) is OUT

He pushed a flop on which he was nut flushing and was called by Mo "Not all news is bad" Muse with a flopped set of sixes 


(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26293&g2_serialNumber=1)

Now my bets on BlueSq look really good value. Pls let Ramsey and John Eames turn up tomorrow!

Chipcounts for Hoivold and Joey Lovelady pls Tighty?

updates/pics for Tom Mac and Richard 'Grandmaster Funk' Trigg please...

Is Trigg playing?!  Thought he'd be busy giving himself whiplash dancing.

Joey Lovelady 7,000, Tom MacDonald 22,000 and Andreas Hoivold 14,000 are sharing the same table

Grandmaster Funk Trigg has been having fun. Arriving at a three way hand I spy that the Grandmaster of Dance has bet 4,500 on the river into a 9,000 pot

the board reads  4d Td 9d 5h Qs

Martin Cousins in the big blind has checked and Jim Reid deliberates eventually calling the 4,500. Cousins mucks and the Funkmeister who is playing this hand from early position flips  Kd 5d for the flopped second nuts. Reid mucks and Triggs wins a near 20,000 pot with a nicely judged value bet.

He now has 25,000

Playing down to roughly 15 or so players, still flexible

Andrew Seden has knocked out Mark (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2693) Suddes (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2693), Aces against Kings

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26295&g2_serialNumber=1)

Its a tough one because whatever level they stop at today, the have to do the exact same tomorrow ... dont they ?


I would expect tomorrows field to be around the 100 mark ... I have 168 in the comp ;)

Rick Trigg goes from strength to strength

He, Jim Reid and the two blinds see a  3h 7h Qc flop

Checked to Reid in position who fires out a 800 bet, the blinds pass and Trigg check-raises to 3,800. Reid pushes and its only a small amount more to Rick who calls

Reid  Qh Jh

Trigg  Ahrt 6h

turn  Th is conclusive

Trigg 33,000 now and chip leader I think from a glance across the four remaining tables

wiiiiiiiiiii gogogogogogoggo

Obv - LeKnave bought a share.

gl Trigg

FYP

within seconds as well....goldon bollocks indeed.

Gl Trigg

Official word is we play til 14 are left tonight to avoid anyone playing short handed

Of course then, with more runners expected tomorrow, play has to then stop at exactly the same point

So short days for me today and fri..long day Saturday!

Is Trigg happy about being chipleader? Has he celebrated this fact in any way?

He is probably bemoaning the fact that the carpet on the floor is stopping him form throwing some groovy moves.

Steve Jelinek has eliminated Chris Wright

Ganesh Rao raised, Chris flat called and Steve re-raised out of the blinds. Ganesh passed but Chris, getting short, called all in

Steve 99 v Chris AQ and an all rag board eliminates Wright

He is a model of decorum. In fact his skull chip protector shows more life than he does, Trigg has a very quiet and determined table presence. Saving the shapes for when they matter, they'd be wasted on these players

David Powley has eliminated Sture Saxrud

Powley had raised to 1,400 and Saxrud re-raised all in from the blinds for 7,000 more...about half Powley's remaining stack

Powley thought about it for ages and eventually called

Powley  Kd Qh

Saxrud  5h 5s

board  Kc Qc Ahrt Jd Qs

We're down to 31 runners

George MacDonald had a rough ride today. The coup de Grace of his exit came when AK lost to A10, all in pre, ten on the flop.... but most of the damage was done earlier when Pocket Kings ran into Paul Gardener's AQ, Queen on flop, Queen on river

ugly, ul

gogo, gl Trigg. Win it allllll

gogogogo RJT

plz win mad ones

Carlo Citrone has knocked out Priyan De Mel

De Mel raised to 600 in the cut off

Citrone re-raised to 1800 on the button

De Mel calls

flop  Jh 3d 5d

check, Citrone 2400, De Mel check raises all in, instantly called

De Mel  9s 9c

Citrone  Kh Kd

Kings hold

Exact chip counts will be coming at the end of the break in 40 minutes

For the time being the top five chip leaders are


Andrew Seden
Rick Trigg
Mo Muse
Steve Jelinek
Carlo Citrone

in that order, all 30,000+

Glenn Ashworth is OUT, getting short he pushed QJ suited and Haitan Wu called with pocket threes which held

Down to 27

[ ] Knows Carlos' game well

Mo Muse's ascent to the chip summit came pre-Priyan De Mel's exit when paid off when holding A6 on a x-2-6-6-2 board by Priyan with 9-9

This 



goooooooo Trigger

Tom McDonald was unfortunate when finding AK suited behind the late position push of Pippa Flanders with A10

A board of 10 K 10 8 A doubled Pippa up and left Tom at 12,000

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26297&g2_serialNumber=1)

We've broken to three tables and Trigg has an interesting seat draw

Sits now directly to the right of in order Citrone, Hoivold and Muse

Just now saw him raise on the button to 825 with one limper, Tim (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=433) Flanders (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=433) in the cut-off, before him.

Flanders check-raises to 2700 and Trigg lets go

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=26299&g2_serialNumber=1)

Look on the bright side Rich, with so few players in attendance, you can have several trips to the buffet ... I expect a full buffet report, and pics !!

Haitao Wu and David Powley clash

Wu limps for 200

Powley raises to 700 on the button with  Kd Kc

called

flop  7d 6d 4d

Wu check raises the shorter-stacked Powley all-in

Powley calls

Wu has  Ad 6h

turn  Td

river, just to rub it in a little,  Ks

Wu's a pretty boy then, with 40,000 chips plus

If Travolta & No News are on the same Table, & both with tidy stacks, I expect some stack-merging very soon. An accident is inevitable.

Mo Muse wins another pot, this time with a flopped set of threes

Citrone pipes up "that's four sets you've flopped today"

and a phlegmatic Muse replies "yes, and I lost 10,000 on the last one!"

In that hand he held 4-4 and saw a fantastic Q-Q-4 flop

However Ifthkar Ali holding Q-2 in the blinds and an unraised pot, was going nowhere, and turned a 2 to double up

sigh - current count for Tom Mac plz?

Play is resuming after the dinner break

Chicken curry, rice, chips a rather nice runner bean/plum sauce combo followed by Chocolate cake

42 runners meant three portions for me.

Latest chip count for Trigg!

The Camel, short-stacked all day lasted only a short time after play resumed.

Meanwhile on table Dancer and Prancer

Steve Jelinek limps for 300 in early position. Trigg limps in late and Hoivokld/Muse complete/check the blinds

flop  8h 6c 4s

Check to Jelinek who bets 600, called by Hoivold

turn  3h

check called for 1600 by Hoivold

river  Qh check called for 2,000 by Hoivold

Jelinek shows  6s 6d and scoops when Hoivold shows  8s 3s

Andrew Seden knocks out Joey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=203) Lovelady (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=203), 22 left

Andreas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) Hoivold (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=467) calls all three streets from Ifthkar Ali on a  Kc Jh 8c Ks 4d board with  Kd 9d in the big blind, unraised pot,and wins an 8,000 pot when Ali mucks unshown after he is called on the river

Pippa Flanders knocks out Tom McDonald

Pippa makes it 650 more in the small blind

Tom re-raises 2400 on top in the big blind

Pippa jams

Tom, and I quote, "snaps"

Pippa  Kd Kc

Tom  Ac Js

Kings hold

21 left

For tomorrow there are 45 already registered and expectations of 70-80 total making a total field of 120ish

Now who went low on the numbers in the update competition?

Spotted in tonight ahead of tomorrow...Jon Kalmar, Sunny Chattha, Paul Moss

Still waiting for the last break chip counts

Until then here is an approximation of the current top ten of the 21 remaining

Haitan Wu 45,000

Steve Jelinek 40,000...just won a sizeable pot off Rick Trigg by the looks of it

Paul Gardener 35,000

Mo Muse 35,000

David Collins 30,000

Andrew Seden 30,000

Rick Trigg 25,000

Pippa Flanders 25,000

Carlo Citrone 25,000

Andreas Hoivold 20,000

Also still in Henning Grandstad, Mike Ellis, Ifthkar Ali amongst the others

play has slowed down somewhat, not many stacks in danger and the main changes are Hoivold's chip count dropping, Jelinek's continuing to increase....of the three tables remaining table with these two by far the most active

Great updates Mr Prew. What did you think of the buffett? Any good?

can see steve j doing well in this one

For Youe Eyes Only, scene of the infamous biting striper!

Just remember what Jimmy Carr told us all in his DVD...

Glenn Williams wins a nice pot off Peter Gardener check calling a 3,200 bet on the river in a 9,000 pot on a  5h Kh Td Aspades 6h board with  Qd Qh

Elsewhere Rick Trigg has had a disappointing couple of levels and is at 15,000

Chip leaders are Andrew Seden 45,000 and Steve Jelinek over 50,000

Trigg's main chip loss came from paying off Jelinek all the way with flopped top pair versus flopped nut flush

Jeez, 3 sittings and only 7 out of 10? what would it take to get 10 tighty stars or has that just never been achieved?

It was an 8 out of 10 actually

10 out of 10? well that's into the realms of fantasy

Pippa Flanders is OUT

She limped for 400 with  Js Ts

Henning Grandstad raised to 1500 with  8c 8d

Pippa calls

flop  Ahrt Jd 8s

Pippa open-shipped the flop.

3 helpings of curry, bet you're hoping for a quick finish ;bumwiggle;

Stephen Kirk is in the building ahead of playing tomorrow. I knew he had arrived because security were called to reception.

Is he wearing his Sunderland scarf and Hull City top?

Very proud of my 'Pippa Flounders' headline. :)

A couple of the Newcastle Poker forum players are still going strong. Steve Wills been handily placed all day and just now David Collins won a big pot off Andrew Seden  with AA vs QQ on a K 2 J 2 6 board

Who's Stephen Kirk?

Birdforum, blonde member and Luton regular

I am still in the blonde league game Tighty ... £50 is safe for 5 mins, its the break

Tim Flanders  and Mike Ellis are OUT

Interesting fact, not a factoid as its true

This is the first GUKPT the Flanders have played where at least one of the couple has not made day two.

Mike (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=287) Ellis (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=287) was knocked out by Grandstad KQ v KK

Flanders by Jelinek AJ v KK

Why is Carlo's name back to front on the list?

Rick (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=375) Trigg (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=375) is OUT, losing the majority of his chips with A-4 that ran into Andreas Hoivold's Kings.

Peter (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2365) Smithson (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2365) is now in trouble. Losing with QQ versus Henning Grandstad's 9-10 on a 7-8-3-J board

Down to 15 as Andrew Seden departs. Ifthkhar Ali makes a trademark limp/fold to a raise, Mo (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=294) Muse (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=294) limps with 8-8 and Andrew sees a shove opportunity with K-J suited

Mo calls and the eights hold

Where's Kev gone?

It is time to address the controversial "surname first" issue highlighted for Citrone Carlo

I spoke to the Oracle, Mr Raab and the in depth interivew went as follows

Investigative journalism at its finest

Q. "So Jonathan, about your expenses claim for a moat cleaner and toilet duck?"

A "I did not claim for those items"

Q "Why is Carlo's name backwards?"

A "It isn't"

Q. "Is so"

A "Oh"

Q "Come on then, what is the conspiracy behind this?"

A "Well all the alternates were entered surname first off the system here. I noticed all the others but not Carlo. I will change it now"

Conclusion: So there you have it: surname-gate resolved, but not the issue of the toilet duck claim.

well done, will sort out payment to you next week when I get home

LOL, thank you sir.

Such an easy gig for you Tighty.  Wrong.  So very wrong. 

Yup, he sure did get it easy today.  Great updates Rich.

I think he should use the remaining 3 hours getting the photos and the gallery working. :)

Tighty, can you grab some interviews with some of the players still remaining please? Maybe a photo of each one, it will help us visualise them better and obv make the update even better than it is, if at all possible.

TIA

can we compromise on a viewing of photos from the staff at FYEO Ltd at Luton next week?

seems very fair sir.

Thank you & goodnight. Enjoyed it.

No

I am NOT having another MSN conversation with Bongo today. Imagine a poker player....picture him in your mind, thats what the remaining players look like

Chicken

He's right, a poker player wouldn't look like a woman. ;D

Thanks Rich.

Two cans of baked beans, 1lb of cheese melted in, served over a bed of black pudding slices, gently garnished with parmesan?
10 Tighty stars out of 10. Done.

OK, time for a rant. The original watergate scandal was not about water. Yet journos who write about scandals these days put the word gate after the subject matter of the scandal involved. Does my fuckin' head in.

Newcastle RantGate!

9 out of 10

Add bacon and slightly over-fried fried bread for 10/10, ta

Is my guess likely to be a winner?

Many thanks for the updates Rich :)

Nice easy start for your solo career ;)
