blonde poker forum

Are all future bashes going to be DTD then due to the sponsorship stuff. Or is there any possibility they'll be elsewhere?

Evilpie just text me to say Stuart 'StuartHopkin' Hopkin has already had 4 bashes, today alone!

Way too early to say. The first question is any more bashes full stop? In part this is due to lack of support from some quarters, in part due to crowded poker schedules nowadays.

The bash got decent numbers baring in mind it was at the busy point of the year with so many in/going to Vegas.Long live the Blonde Bash.Next one should be abroad imo,sunny Spain ftw.

If that's where I'm pretty sure it is then +1000000000

Malta?

I'll be there in September

Nope, not at the moment

Incredibly crowded poker schedule, and I am not convinced we'd get the numbers of bbs 1-5 to justify the time spent organising it (bb9 only got under 100)

plus cant have a bash if i am not there and i am off the road currently

the next blonde bash might just be the best, hense why it wont happen ;-)

Why dont we have a non official one? Somewhere like erm? Luton?

FYP

defo up for this. form two lines and please be patient waiting your turn

and dtd has to be the venue

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Luton Leeds Newcastle or Malta are the choices

I've only been to 2 bashes but I wasn't a fan of the DTD one. The Leeds one was much better imo.

ok cool. up for any obv would rather it not be a G casino. but do have a mates card now so can just walk str8 in and use the swipe facility

as bopkin says- noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

whats the hatred of dtd about. good poker venue well run and decent bar

every other venue we've been to has given us free reign to act like drunken tits and run our own random made up rake free games

dtd is great for real poker, elsewhere for a bash imo

never been to one either, would defo be up for one. DTD clear choice imo!

Same

on the plus side for dtd,  if it ended up just being an invasion of an already running tournament then dtd's probs the only place that could cope with the extra runners. luton would go into meltdown if an extra 10 people showed up

Another one in Leeds would be incred. Pretty sure Alea could accommodate us again. Plus plenty of titty bar action.

Ok. ok. Changed my mind from DTD.

thats pretty much ended my involvement when mrs herbert reads this fml

I'd prefer Leeds.

DTD is obv all good for poker, but its where I normally play, there is no need for a hotel and its nice to have a night out away from Notts.

Selfish points yes.

But also as gatso said, dont think DTD will let us have a game of dealers choice that involves people making up games on the spot such as draw to 37 but you cant go over blackjacks count as 32.5

I recall that last time we had a couple of SNGs and heads up tables but it was an absolute ball ache getting DTD to agree to let us run them.

The thing I liked about the Leeds bash and I imagine the others too is that it felt like blonde were invading and taking over a card room and plenty of drunk poker action going on. The DTD bash felt like just another tournament and was full of randoms playing the usual tournaments and cash games. Atmostphere was nowhere near the same imo.

2 quid showdown was just the best fun ever.

bB10 Leeds ftw.

Tighty you know it makes sense.

Petition sign below if you want this to happen.

Girgy

Never been, would love to go to one and finally meet a few more Blondes...

Looked online and Leeds looks good as I can fly there from Southampton :D

The BB when I first met Celtic

Does anyone know if Jason Crawford still plays pokerz?

£2 showdown was absolutely immense!

For next BB bash

Monopoly Tournament
Shithead Tournament
£2 Showdown Cash Table

Must brush up on my shithead game.

I'm self excluding myself from any monopoly tournament. I've lost friends over that game before...

pmsl girgy. you remind me of john belushi in animal house. :)

[ ] seen it.

 Jason Crawford? I remember an oli crawford?

Toga Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats the guy.

Met him there on that cash table with you and the super straddle.
Then saw him again in London about 2 weeks later.
Never saw him again.

you must see it. a classic and reckon its right up your street in terms of humour

whats are the rules of 2pound showdown?

You put £2 in get 2 cards and hope u scoop.

I would pwn at this!

That's right, I was there too, at loose cannon, virgin comp?

I think mole or eck told me  he moved to Thailand.

Not quite that simple  ;)
The dealer has a lot of influence and your hand may be dead if your on the wrong side of the table.

Yeah that's the one.
Would make sense why I never saw him again. Seemed like a top bloke.

oioiiiiii, what a game.

We were just talking about this earlier actually, so good.

obv needs Rooks dealing and Bradders (the value) in the game too.

Was it bradders who did the best part of ton?

Also scooping may result in you having to buy a round...

not quite that simple is a bit of an understatement. at one point I had 16 cards I think

how many decks were in play?

and you certainly don't hope you scoop because that results in it being your round

rofl, gg Ironside.

Was incredible at luton, iron scooped a 16 quid pot in 8 card hi lo, got stung for a 35 quid round. Wp him.

Was a random playing, that no one was sure who he was until a week later. Turned out it was amatay. Good times.

He was cheering so hard when the river brought him the scoop as well!

Lol, so true, then he realised winning was actually losing.

my fave rule is definitely the monotone flop meaning half the table are insta-eliminated from the hand

I suggest you remedy that ASAP.  Awesome film!

Toga Toga Toga!!!

I remember someone cheering a flop where they had something like top 2 sets, the nut flush and a wrap flush draw "How can I lose?" they asked, only to receive the response "The flop is red so you already have". I think something silly like 10 high ended up winning it.

How about G Coventry, Its quite central for most?

LOL at Amatay doing his bollocks at £2 showdown, so so com.

Agree it shouldn't be at DTD, weren't even allowed to play £2 showdown there. Unofficial bash is the only bash likely it would seem.

Just to repeat, there are no current plans

why?

- Barely a weekend free of a DTD/GUKPT/UKIPT/APAT/Sky event for the remainder of 2012. Never seen it more crowded

- Leeds bb8 had 80 runners. DTD bb9 had 100 runners. I don't think we'd get significantly more than that at the current juncture, and therefore its a struggle to justify the cost and the organisational time

Personally, i didn't feel DTD suited a bash very much. Great club, but not that condusive to fun self dealt games etc etc

When we do bb10 then our contacts are such that all venue options are open. Would personally like to try somewhere new. I have Aspers Newcastle in mind, holds 200, great for a night out too. But not yet.

For reference so far

bb1 Broadway Birmingham
bb2 Cincins Glasgow
bb3 G Walsall
bb4 G Luton
bb5 Grosvenor Cardiff
bb6 G Luton
bb7 DTD
bb8 Alea Leeds
bb9 DTD

Yeah Oli was grinding in Thailand last I heard although sure Steph spoke to him not long ago and he was moving on somewhere else I think.

was an 8 card omhah hi lo game with 10 players and 2 packs of cards
i scooped and bought a round for what seemed like whole card room
i lost something close to £100 on the hand
then did it again

All venues are open but from the point of someone who works 9-5 Mon-Fri and doesn't drive...I'd never go to Newcastle as it's just too hard to get there unless you drive. Trains are hellish expensive unless going via London, buses all go via B'Ham/London and unless you live in the South (LDN, SOU, BRI) or Scotland, flights are a no-no. On top of that a lot of people go home Sunday night to work Monday...not possible unless you leave Sunday afternoon/lunch.

Someone suggested G Coventry earlier...I'd second that, albeit when/if we have another bash.

i fancy newcastle but as tighty says can we wait i aint missed a bash yet and would hate to miss one cause of my gammy leg

Coventry is good too

For one reason more than any other.  ;kev;

agree with all of this - if we want big numbers then making it as central and accessible as possible is surely the way to go.  Coventry ftw.  and not too much longer please - it's been a year already!

problem with coventry is it's in coventry

Any good titty bars in Coventry?

from my experience the half naked girls go to the G on a Saturday night

behave. Lovely and all that but lets get 150+ for a UK one before we think about pies in the sky

even apat events abroad hardly get the UK runners


ffs apat aberdeen struggled to get runners untill the nash stepped in and sold the seats to locals

+1  And the reason why not to have it at dtd just not enough freedom to play random games

LOL at Dublin, we'd all be busto by the end of it.

dublin poss the last city on earth I'd want to attend a bash in. still probs go obviously but what a terrible choice it would be

It would NEVER be chosen. No suitable venue, the plance is horrifically expensive, and half the blondes would get alcohol poisoning

don't worry about the suitable venue bit, the chances of anyone actually turning up for the tournament would be pretty slim

wow Elgin is ahead of dublin get in there

When did they upgrade Elgin from toilet to city?

its a catherdral city hence elgin city fc

but i never knew it got upgraded too a toilet

Since it would seem like there isn't going to be an "official" blonde bash for quite awhile if at all, is there any reason why we don't just sort out an "unofficial" BB10 ? No need for any costs, just a ton of blondes meet at such and such a place at such and such a time, get smashed, infiltrate some local casinos/poker tournaments/strip joints/bars (in reverse order for me) etc etc, can still do the Sunday quiz so it has a little bit of a normal bash feel about it. The Luton bash was so so good, Nottingham was kinda meh as like Tighty said it didn't work at DTD for me. Plenty of boozers we can sit in and play Tighty SNG's or £2 showdown :)

in. Leeds ftw

Leeds could be a good shout since it's fairly central and nightlife is good.

Poker is the least important part of the weekend, no point playing £100+ comps, £20 f/o's £10r ftw.

Possibly in if it's in Leeds. Almost definitely out if it's anywhere else.

Couldn't give a monkeys about poker.

Beer and strippers will make me happy.

Mini bash in brum whilst the lvtc final ?

What we doing about this? Sharing a room?

Quite clearly this is a no.

Las Vegas Team Challenge.  They've had an online league going with ages and will be playing a live final soon.

Get the dates Posted up soonest please Tighty.

Owt bar the first week in April plz  ;D

Balls to the first and second weekends in April imo defo one of the last two...................





please!

Won't be first two due to deepstack and ukipt

Sunday 1st April was tentatively suggested. Will confirm asap

Nooooooooooooo!

lol

These days, the chances of getting a date that won't get 30 people screaming no are pretty remote.

It has to suit DTD's schedule, and most players

Will finalises asap

Aha - so this whole Blonde/DTD deal is a massive April Fool that you, Tikay and Rob have cooked up.

+1

Why just a Sunday?

Rob is indicating having the bash tournament on a sunday

doesn't stop everyone spending the whole weekend there/at the club/ at the holiday in bar though

Some of us have church on Sundays :)

and quizes and dirnking and stupid gambling games and curries....

Doesn't having the tourney on a Sunday limit the numbers of blondes who will be able to attend? Tikay said it would be 'Huge'!!

Don't get me wrong I'm a three night basher, and if I could attend I would do the lot...(I don't want to miss meeting Jason Herbert)

Del if it's confirmed for April 1st I presume you'll have no probs rearranging Alfie's christening?  tia ;)

Unfortunately, my non attendance at an April 1st blonde bash has been confirmed....


... In rather shocking language, I might add!!

PS You could do both

 rotflmfao  She might be small...but she can be fierce! 

I am available for all christenings, weddings and bar mitzvahs. :)

its very unlikely i will make one at the beginning of april

^^^ ok thats you two booked in sharing a room..  :kiss:

Guess i'll share with the legend..

...The wife? ;)

I don't care when It is......I'm not coming. There's never enough lovely girls, Its just all you boring twats talking Poker all night.  ;cupcake; What the fuck is this Icon all about???? why is it called Cupcake??? It looks nothing like me, I'm confused.




See ya there,

John xx

oi!

he has a point though claire as its never possible to have enough lovely girls as there isnt enough lovely girls in the world for me

we need to try to fit in a filthy curry at some point

Veiled brag?  :dontask:

Geo

Only if you promise we break the previous Poppadom record which was a rather embarrassing 20 odd I think.

were they poppadoms or big crisps?

Yes, it was discussed last night, at a Meet @ DTD attended by Rob, Nick, Flushy, Tighty, & myself.

More details will be made available in due course.

it will be a shame if its April 1st me and Mrs fish are in blackpool that weekend watching Derron brown....
be gutted to miss the blonde bash!

it will be a shame if its april for me too been to every bash so far and doubt i will be fit for april but a bash is for the masses and i hope everyone has fun
anyway its nottingham and they closed the karoke bar next door

Doubt it can be arranged as quickly and early as that can it?

I don't think it will be as early as 1 April

We talked about it at the weekend, Rob and DTD are planning it and it should be a lot of fun, plenty on the way..guaranteed prize pools, only for blonde members etc etc

As soon as I have a schedule I will be posting it up

Any updates on a bash? I may have missed it elsewhere in the forum but when's the next bash?

Organisation went on hold pre UKIPT

Still planned for DTD, when we can find a free weekend

Thanks sir, I'll keep a looking out for it. I'm hoping I might bump into a few decent players, it's tough to learn from the fishy drunks on the £10FO scene up this way...
