blonde poker forum

There was never much coverage of this as I did not notice any British or European interest, & dear Dave managed to depart inside 40 minutes.

Eventual winner was Thomas Werthmann ($369,535) from Layne Flack ($185,600).

But I notice in 4th place ($88,680) was one Martin Green, from England. Unless it's a mighty coincidence, this was the guy who finished about 6th in the Grovenor South of England Championship at Southjampton a week ago, & who appeared in the British Poker Open.

It's a long way from Southampton to Vegas - well done Martin!

Yeah, this is the same guy - plays betfair under the alias 'Ken Barlow' and is a regular forum poster on Betfair's forum where he goes by the name 'Kenneth Bell Plum' !!

Anyways, good luck to him, nice one.

Newboy Dirk

have u got final results from event 2 ?  last i saw was chip counts?

Yeah, I posted the 1-2-3 earlier today on the Forum under Live Tournaments, WSOP Event # 2, $1,500 NLH.

 If you want the full result, let me know & I will post it.

We are putting them all in our Tourney Results section, but we have a server issue at the moment, so I can put it on the Forum if you are interested.

Dirk Diggler, thank for that, & welcome to blonde.

Delighted to hear that it was the one & same Martin Green, aka Ken Barlow, aka Kenneth Bell Plum - where DO they get these monikers from?

Talking of monikers, Dirk Diggler - where did THAT come from? I can't help but smile when I read it. Dirk Diggler indeed.

Dirk Diggler was the porn star in the film Boogie Nights, don't get about much do ya?

Films - nah, don't do them. Thoroughbred Racehorse Breeding, Railways (particularly the Golden Age of Steam), Natural History, & Victorian Engineering, particularly by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. They all float my boat. But not films, not been to the cinema for 30 years or more. Bit sad, eh?

--- Off topic ---

Tikay, coming to Bergen next weekend?

Looks like it, whahoo! Will call you tomorrow.

I have not been to Norway before - what part of Sweden is it in?

Hehe... Careful - you could hurt my feelings. By a strange coincidence today it's exactly 100 years (June 7th 1905) since the Union with Sweden was dissolved after a curriculum. So today it's a day of celebration in Norway...

Well a happy birthday to you & all your Norwayish countrymen. So Sweden does not own you any more?

Nope - not since 1905... It's a bit like suggesting the Roman Empire still owns England, and to my knowledge they don't?

What a dreadful thought, being owned by the Italians. OK, you win.

Thx for the welcome Tikay. Looks like 'ifm' already filled you in on the moniker so I won't bother too much to expand on that other than to say it's a quality cheesey film about 70's porn land....Think Starsky and Hutch with a slightly different theme...Quality..

I've been looking at the site and the forum since the site began actually but being the lazy sausage I am only now have I been bothered to register for the forum!

I'm by no means a newbie to poker though - been playing hold'em for about 5 years or so now, starting with home games but i do frequent Luton (and have done Ramsgate and Southend too) every now and again and have enjoyed a enough cashes over the years to keep me just ahead of the game, and of course now also enjoy the internet game from the comfort of my sofa.

So I'm just another 'keen' but recreational player and like to try and keep track of what's going on in the poker world and blondepoker is always a great source of info, news, discussion, reports and wit!!

So thanks to all concerned - I know it must be hard work but fun too so keep up the good work!..

Dirk

Thanks Mr Diggler! "Lazy sausage" eh? Seems like a whole new language has hit the streets.

We look forward to your posts, & maybe we will bump into each other in luton soon. Hope so.

Really? I didn't realise that


Shudders at the memory of one particular thread

For the benefit of those poor souls who missed it, do you want me to copy & paste it here? It's no problem..........

not the best metaphor for a porn star

Lazy sausage + tight end= recipe for disappointment





perhaps this better stop here

I think so.

Now, about the Golden Age of Steam........

No, not the golden age of steam.

I understand the steam and the brunel but,

Why racehorse breeding? that surprised me

Okay Tikay, if I'm ever down there when your about too I'll be sure to come say hello.

I missed it, pleeese, copy and paste

Just something I became interested in during my twenties, at a time when I was a student of form, as they say.

I shall spare you one of my War & Peace tomes, but I'll just offer up these couple of titbits about racehorse breeding, given that this thread has veered a little towards sexual innuendo. The whole subject, of course, revolves around the selection of what two parents will produce the best progeny, blending the talents of each parent. But at some stage, the two parents have to, err, mate.

So it's announced in the breeding press that today, "Mrs Nag" (the dam) visits Mr Nag (the sire).

And the following day, they coldly announce that Mr Nag successfully covered Mrs Nag.

Try using that terminology on the missus......

Red -Dog - NO. I detect a hint of sarcasm there, so I'm sulking. No more articles on Railways for YOU. So there.

Freight trains comprise wagons or trucks rather than carriages, though some parcel and mail trains (especially Travelling Post Offices) are outwardly more like passenger trains.

A train hauled by two locomotives is said to be "double headed".

See, I wasnt extracting the Micheal, Im interested.

its just that the copy and paste jobbie sounded like a threat, and I wanted you to carry it out

now we may never know

Well I shall spare our long suffering readers the prospect of trawling through that tosh again, but I'll send you it by e-mail. You clearly have a basic understanding of the subject. Wait till we next share a table, we can talk trains for hours & then nick the blinds after they all fall asleep.........

noooo, I was kidding, I nicked that info from the web, (he's so gullible)

Pah! Damn you Dog, damn you.

I might just reproduce it now.

My God you guys have nothing better to do. I thought red dog would have being brushing up on how to play against terrible all in moves in Luton. Sorry again mate.... And you should know better Tony. A man of you age would have been brought up in the steam age. For us it is all history, but for you it came just after your introduction to mushy peas.   

Going to Vegas on Thursday for a week...any messages to take over Tony. You in London with your jacket tomorrow

he swapped it for an anorak

Nope, I refuse to wear THAT jacket ever again. May even try out a new outfit tomorrow......

Good Luck in Vegas Denis - bring the money home! See you 3rd July.
