blonde poker forum

blonde Poker is back at the GUKPT. Possibly on a one off basis, but we'll see

Please join Adrian "Rockstar" Gotch and myself from 2pm this afternoon for a live update of Day1a of the GUKPT Luton.

Luton is always one of the busiest stops in the GUKPT Series. Always in August, it occurs when everyone is back from their annual pilgrimages to the WSOP. Furthermore the location means it attracts the London and the national players. Satellite seat winners are plentiful and the locals come out in force.

I'm expecting 300+ runners over the two days.

Last year this was one by Richard Gryko and in prior years by Sam Trickett and Dave Clark

Some thank yous

A number of people have come together to ensure this update can take place


In no particular order

DTD for paying my costs

James Keys

GreekStein

Chip Prince

Stu Rutter

MPower.

Turny

Chompy

tikay


for all contributing to the costs.


Thank you to Carmel and team at Luton for letting us update.


Most of all, thanks to Rockstar. An update virgin, this will be quite a baptism. Furthermore I'll be leaving him to it at the weekend. Good luck sir!

GUKPT Luton also forms part of the DTD Road Trip

DTD held an Online and Live qualifier to send players to Luton, and we'll be following them over, hopefully, four days


Qualifiers from the Live Satellites were

Waheed Ashraf

Malcolm Muskett (Malc M)
 
Gurpreet Nagi  (FreeRollin)

Jonathan Grice (MPower)
   
Tasos Grigoriou


and from the Online Satellite

Matt Russell (EvilPie)
 
Graham Giles
 
Richard Turner
 
Harvey Butters
 
Paul  Noonan (Luther101)
 

Good luck to them all, and to Alex from DTD who has to chaperone that lot!

In the meantime, I'm off to clear the Inbox, and I'll be back from the venue before 2pm


Please post on here if there are particular players you would like us to follow, picture and talk to.

Incredible added value! DTD should advertise that as part of the sats

"Hi, its you with the camera again"

"Well you are always qualifying for this events, and I am always photographing them"

Sofia Lovgren, Sweden

I came across Sofia when she played the Irish Open in April and went deep. I think she played a lot of time with The Camel on his deep run in that.

There was much comment afterwards on forums as she is a former model who has been taken on by PKR (much like say a Becker or a Warne or a Caprice would be taken on by the bigger sites for marketing purposes first, poker ability second).

A very very very tight player, from memory


(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGP2fi6Z-3I/AAAAAAAAMho/-0dbVHckETE/s512/IMG_3067.JPG)

Anyone remember this guy in Phoenix Nights?

(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01238/daniel-kitson_1238704c.jpg)

Jeff "JaffaJake" Kimber


Won the £500 for £14,000 on Tuesday, 8th in the Omaha last night


(Omaha won by David Lloyd)


(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGP3VjOq7XI/AAAAAAAAMhs/G9uE2gTMMLA/s512/IMG_3070.JPG)

Hopefully I will stop sniggering sometime today.

Shocking turnout again. These events are dying with the bigger tournaments online all the time people dont bother going anymore.

Asked Moorman if he playing "If i make day 2 will mean cant play 2k ftops and effectively will cost me money to make day 2" haha

Bernard Littman, GUKPT Brighton winner last year. Bernaard is laying as an APAT Professional Series event winner in the current season, a GUKPT seat being part of his prize

84 currently registered

15,000 starting chips and a one hour clock. No exits yet

52 already registered for tomorrow

Overall field size guesses anyone? 230-240?

Up to 84 players now

Strange atmosphere here,very quiet and subdued

No fireworks yet

Are you sure??




Carlsburg don't make 1st posts, but if they did they would probably be the best in the world. ;-)

304 last year
376 year before
314 year 1

Its dying.

Sicilidonk has done 4k of his stack already.. AA v 23

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Is it a male or female?

Ruling!

Great start by Rockstar, but Tighty is on FIRE. He slips a little curve-ball into most seermingly innocent Posts, only 2 of which have been found so far today.

Keep looking boys, he won't disappoint, the really subtle ones are the best.

Not looked at the full list of runners but saw Malc m on it...Wish him good luck from me please, and send him this..... :kiss:

Oi, get back next door, you!

FYP

Graham Chompy Wheldon raises to 150 in the cut off and Willie Tann calls on the big blind


flop  9h 3c 4c

Willie checks, disinterestedly, his nose so close to the felt he could be half asleep. Oh, he is.

Wheldon c-bets 250 and Willie springs to life. Check-raises to 850.

Wheldon arches an eyebrow, without moving a closed fist from in front of his mouth

He calls

turn  Qh

Willie fires out 1,850

Wheldon tank folds quizzically, as if witnessing grand larceny. Which it probably is

I was sat next to Lovgren for a few hours (on same table as Thewy and Jen Mason on day 2). Random opens the button to 2100 (at 400/800 + 100). I pass sb and Lovgren 3-bets in the BB to 9k from a 19k stack. Button ships and she tanks, for ages.

I get up and am on the rail talking to someone. She's taking an age to act and I see her pass 99.

[ x ] Model
[   ] Convinced she's a pro.

Blimey he's lost a mountain of weight!  Has he been on the Tikay diet?

That's only cos I'm not playing it this year Rich
Sigh

TBH, I was going to slip in another comment with my first but toeing the party line seemed more appropriate.

Good turnout from the Luton regs,in the house thus far we have:

Paul Noonan

Bharat Joshi

Tony Poole

Chompy

Pep Fontana

Daniel Sampson

Johnny Vac

Paul Garnham

Sicilian

Paul Ephremsen

Alan Gray

Why are they using the crappy chips?

Mis-read Dawn.
It's Tighty's new slim-line lense imo

Up from London and looking thrilled about it

(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGP-0J5OA5I/AAAAAAAAMiA/KCTZt_KqGHE/s512/IMG_3075.JPG)

3 year anniversary of Luton being voted Englands best "crap" town

Not a fan of those chips either Jim,like a poor mans home game chips

gl to evilpie(is he playing today?)  and all other blondes.
 is there a list of todays players anywhere?

I waited 7 minutes 38 seconds for this man to look up from his I-Phone and pose, Akenhead stylee.

I could wait no longer, so here is Karl Mahrenholz. As never seen before.


(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGP_5DmaOfI/AAAAAAAAMiQ/FlEbkIlsowE/s512/IMG_3079.JPG)

FYP

Up from London and thrilled about it. HotShots Part Deux

(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGQAiKQT-GI/AAAAAAAAMig/qP6UzIafvl0/IMG_3076.JPG)

Update on James Tomlin pls

Rockstars doppleganger

Who is it?

FYP

Neil Channing. I think.

I know what my caption would be. You can make your own though

"Ronaldo" for DTD on the right. Bloke in odd sunglasses on the left

(http://lh4.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGQBLyMwYGI/AAAAAAAAMiw/vixP2BTVZMo/IMG_3073.JPG)

only 84?   is this the rabb effect???

No, if Raab was there, there would be even fewer players IMO

The Legend Michael Wernick.

(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGQCCDX64kI/AAAAAAAAMjA/6HtXC5FEEFc/s512/IMG_3081.JPG)

yeah ur probably right   ;)  hi jon hows ur new job?

Going well, enjoying it

Jon would know more than me but I think there are several effects at play


1. Economics/recession/bankrolls

2 Competition from major online series

3. Advent of UKIPT /crowded festival and series schedules


I am expecting 150 tomorrow, on the basis that Friday's fields are always bigger than Thursdays.

That would make the field 230-240.

A struggle compared to the first three years, but times are tougher and the competitive environment was different then

Please! It's "Raab" not "Rabb".

Nothing is as good without him, but he built solid foundations, & it'll be just fine.

We lose our first player

Peter Lody is out

No hand details

Mark Norman was the player who took him out

+ the entire Poker economy is in a recession, with Online numbers on most sites down between 10% & 50% year-on-year.

ok raab,  sorry mr candle ;)

James has around 13k

James "Rockstar before he started on the Kronenburg" Tomlin


Very smooth skin.I assume he exfoliates

(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGQFElcOxOI/AAAAAAAAMjQ/4LkkNb5asGA/s512/IMG_3088.JPG)

Only just caught up with this. Good luck rockstar!
Keep your eye on Sofia for me pls.

Now here is a study in contrasts

On the left Luton player Alan "Basher" Gray. A geezer, connected to the boxing scene. Runs a market stall selling plants

On the right Richard Gryko. Not a Geezer. Not connected to the boxing scene. Doesn't run a market stall selling plants.

(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGQFaZjkvRI/AAAAAAAAMjg/4IS6mE7eozw/IMG_3091.JPG)

Richard Gryko text- word for word

"If the Catholic Church wanted to instantly double the number of followers, they should stop telling sinners they'll go to hell and start telling them they'll go to the Luton GUKPT"

Jeff Buffenbarger

Great player to have in a comp for an updater. Huge smile, great attitude, loves his poker

Nice guy.


(http://lh3.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGQGn9DngoI/AAAAAAAAMjw/-Q2sP2BzN7E/s512/IMG_3090.JPG)

updates on Pep and Free Rollin pls

I binked a seat in the super sat last night so ill see you both tomorrow

A few random chip counts:

Mickey Wernick 13k

Paul Garnham 18k

Johnny Vac  16k

Dean Morris 12k

Gryko not a geezer? Does that make him the first female winner of a GUKPT?

"Handsome" Paul Ephremsen

Paul is the owner of an advertising business, brand marketing that sort of thing. Very new economy, looked at the website once and it was full of buzz-words such as vertical integration, brand leverage and the like. Never catch me using these

Also big into the greyhound scene is Paul. I believe he is heading a consortium trying to get greyhound racing on our satellite screens nightly ("At the dogs" perhaps)

I met Paul once on top of the North Downs. We were both flying kites with our Kids. No use to anyone that, but hey, I'm updating not you

(http://lh5.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGQG8fzzJ_I/AAAAAAAAMkA/NTkYvTHyPjY/s512/IMG_3089.JPG)

Maybe not taking the mickey, but you were certainly ripping the Flanders out of him. ;)

Pep and Jeff Buff updates

Great job guys

Alex from DTD is looking after her VIPs

She comes up to me and says

"You know that Scottish fella that Rob has some arguments with?"

Me, "Er......"

"You know, Ginger hair"

Me "Er....."

"Has Dogs, we would feed them scraps"

Me "Oh,Mick McCool"

"That's him, well I went up to him and asked him why we hadn't seen him recently. He replied "I'm banned""

Alex thought "Oh bollocks, thats him" and apparently the whole table stared at her like she was a "dumb-ass"

I think she needs some babysitting, personally


More importantly, Mick is on 25,000

(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_M7mySuUsa6c/TGQhngOjDgI/AAAAAAAAMk0/e5C4WSacbx4/IMG_3097.JPG)

Just trying to catch up on notes before the players return

I arrived back at Table 9 to see Tom Tracy push all in for 6,000 from the big blind on the turn of a

 Ad 8d 9d 9s board.

Pot size 5,000 or so

Neil Channing has 11,000 left (I would be guessing but raise in position, called by the big blind pre?)  and is heads-up in the pot with Tracy


Long long think, and folds showing  6d 3d  

cold spuds with hotpot.....ffs the chef's on drugs

Right then,play is resuming

Another round with Tighty anyone? which table would you like?

It was a double belly buster

Willie Tann raises to 600 in 2nd position at 100-200/25

Called by Tony Poole, Paul Alterman and Tina Bandyle in the big blind

flop  8c 4h 6d

Checked to Alterman who bets 1200

Tann c/raises to 3000, Alterman calls

Turn  2s Tann bets 5,000 setting Alterman in.

Alterman passes with some difficulty.

wtf spinks is dealing now?

John Vaccarella is a blast from the past.

Haven't played with him for 10 years I guess.

Is he a hairdresser/barber?

Excellent news. One of snattys team takes out a player I don't like......all is well with the world

Lol definitely a barber.....and still tighter than a tight thing

Good updating team......how many has Linekars fruit and veg got now?

Why don't you like Vicky?

She is very pleasant to play poker against imo.

Johnny Vac is a barber? i thought he was a pro?

Paul Noonan is out,joined the table in time to see his remaining chips being sent Tina Bandyle`s way

Five way limped pot

John Earls, Alan Gray, David La Ronde, Danny Toffel, James Sullivan

flop  3c 7d 8c

turn  6h Check check

river  9h

Earls bets 3,500, La Ronde calls

Earls  9c 8s

La Ronde  Th 5s to win

If you mean Alan Gray Snatty,he is nursing a 20k stack

Please don't tell me you're talking about middle aged guy who's an absolute nit or were  being sarcastic?

same guy, thought he played full time.

he does.

But was he a barber

Alan McLean up to his tricks again onto a big stack


James Sullivan raises utg, McLean calls next to act


Heads up to a 10-9-K flop, 6nd 2 rainbow turn and river

Sullivan bets all three streets, gets set in on the river, calls

Sullivan K-K flopped top set

McLean Q-J off, flopped straight

Down to 6 tables,average is now 24,400

Do Pino Valentino, Izzy and Laurie Butters still play at Luton?

pino yes, sigh. laurie never plays but turns up with his wife. dont know izzy.

Pino occasionally, still lives in Bedfordshire. He was a barber, and now owns a lot of property in the area I live

Laurie doesn't play any more but accompanies his wife Rochelle to tournaments regularly.

Izzy? Not sure I know an Izzy.

Is Pino still convinced he's going to make his fortune from Aces Poker?

It was quite impressive how much faith he had in Dave Welch after everyone else knew it had gone tits up months earlier.

Izzy was an older Italian or Mediterrean guy with a great laugh. His name is Isaac. I would guess he'd be about 70 now.

U can tell than John-the-vacuum-cleaner is a barber by his own bonce - obv imo

Wadey Ashraf is out

On a board of  8c  7s  4h

Tony Poole sets Wadey all in

Wadey tables  Tc  Td

Poole fips  8d  8h

Ok enough already.  When did Chompy start his secret diet?

Victor Ilyukhin and Lam Trinh play out a big hand,Theres 6k in the pot pre-flop

Both playing around the 40k mark,on a flop of  3h  Ad   Tc  Lam makes it 4k and Victor calls

The turn brings the  Qs and Lam leads for 6.5k,Victor insta shoves all in,and Lam tank folds

"Your ace 3 is good" says Lam

Victor shrugs and rakes in the chips

"Ooooh Matron!"

Willie Tann and David La Ronde get it all in pre-flop

 Kh  Kd for Willie   Ahrt  Qh  for David

The flop is a sick  Qc  Qd  Aspades for Willie fans

And Mr.Tann leaves to lick his wounds

The correct answer to Tighty`s Teaser was indeed Mr.Jeff Kimber,he told me to say

   what do i win?

A night of passion with Michael Greco on Fantasy Island.

Around the 50k mark currently,a lot of his table look a bit wary of him,so the 3 bet ploy would seem to be doing the business

Great Updates by Tighty (as expected) & the virgin Rockstar.

What was Chomps real hand on his last 2xup, anyone know? And if you believe he really had Jacks, you are proper grimmable material.

Thanks, Rich & Adrian, & thank you to all those who voluntarily paid for this Update.
