blonde poker forum

With 51 people to start, it was a crazy, loose rebuy period of 90 minutes. With average of 7 rebuys (!) per player, a lot of is in play. Currently 15 people left with Robin Reed in a comfortable chiplead. Our only female player Heidi S, is still in but short. Co-owner of Blue Club, Harald Oppedal also in, around average. I busted in 21st.

1st price is 11k NOK, money down to 6th place.

5 peole left, Harald O still in, Gaute K wandered off with 1,5k after his JJ didn't stand against QQ. Robin Reed still chippy, after playing power poker all day.

Robin Reed - surely he aint Norwayish?

Is Heidi low or Heidi High?

Final Results: (only nicknames)

1st: Steffi  :   10,7k

Finally the first day of the festival is over, and an 19 hour work-day is over for now. On event # 2 tomorrow, only 30-35 runners are expected. Event # 2 is 1600NOK fixed limit freezeout.

Zzzzzzzzee you tomorrow!

Thanks Sig. These all Norwayishers?

Yup, Norwayishers all of them. Although I think Robins father is Canadian, and Harald once had a (24hrs max) short and very steamy relationship with a half Egyptian, half French girl from Spain (!). Enough internationality???

Robin Reed? Norwayish? I aint buying that.

I hear the police moved in last night - is that right? Why can't they just let people do what they want with their own money???

why, poker room aint illegal in Norway are they?

I'm led to believe that Norway has "Fun Police"   >:(

or in this case "not very fun police"

Yes Ruru. The fuzz(or those lovely boys in blue) appear to have moved in .Lets hope all is ok as.Here is a rough translation but my Norwayish is not what it used to be......

The poker tournament (vestlandsmesterskapet) was stopped late Monday night by the police on request from Lotteritilsynet (basically the governement) Three men was questioned. The three men was released after assuring the police the the tournament was run without any money prizes involved. The tournament resume on Tuesday but without money involved

Lotteritilsynet have also reported Blue Club for marketing the tournament.

I was just worried that poor tikay would be hauled off in handcuffs!

Tikay in handcuffs?!?!

That may bring a smile to his face

Might be an opportunity to brush up on his norwayish.

Well, sorry to kill any sensational rumours, but we weren't "hauled away" by the police. The police haven't even been there. What has happened is that we are reported to the police, and will face charges of arranging illegal lottery. This is because the government in Norway means poker is not a skill game, but a game of chance.

What happened, was that we voluntarily contacted the police, and went down there to talk to them, which is way different.

Glad to hear it Sig. I hope to make it up to your club at some stage over the next few months.

Good news Sig, I hope the tournies are popular.
