blonde poker forum

Hello Everyone,

I am lucky enough to be in the "wonderful" city of LA during the LAPC, (WPT) and as part of my drivvvvve to play more live comps this year I am going to give myself a spin in the main event!

The main is a (straight) $10,000 buyin event (structure here - http://www.commercecasino.com/images/uploads/structuredSheets/LAPC46.pdf)

The field won't be "super soft" It will have some extremely good players in it, however the commerce is home to some of the world's fishiest and wealthiest so there will great value, last year's tournament attracted 631 runners (there aren't 631 "top" tourney players in the world) and a top prize of $1,654,000 ( http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/event.php?a=r&n=50065 )

To add some value, I am going to play the $2,080 PLO as well and happy to include that in the package - If you are not aware 6max and HU PLO has been my primary game for ~2years and I've had decent success in online PLO tourneys.

Going to sell at 1.1 : 1 - I'm confident this is a reasonable price - My Record in Live tournaments is practically zero, however never before this year have I really decided to put my mind to them, and I am very experienced at deepstacked Live NLHE vs all types of players.

40% available.

2.5% = $332.20
5% = $664.40
10% = $1328.80 and so forth.

I will lock the $ rate in at the rate I send my Wire to the commerce in (will be sending first week of FEB), which I think is fair (if anyone disagrees defo say) and re-payment  (should there be any) will be made at the rate I sell my $'s back in - if the dream was alive and I won, %'s would roll over to the $25k seat early May.

Form an Orderly flaming queue and remember to #lovethegame

***I am going to be playing the side games mostly, so there is a VERY small chance that I might NOT play the $2k plo if for whatever reason I have been involved in great games surrounding the tournament (if i feel too tired, tilted etc, but I intend 100% to play - money will be refunded at the rate you BOUGHT in, so no1 will lose out)***

10ball please

5 please

booked

10% please.

Is an OAP discount available?

Two and then a half aswell ta.

2.5% please

I'll take two and a half of your finest percentage points please Lildave.

2.5% pls.

2.5% please David

2.5 percentile points for me please....it was tilting me beyond belief when i thought your or Shaun might ship the WPT without my money on your backs.....won't happen again!!!

Back to back WPTs for Flushy, Dubai and LilDave would be incred lol

Booked. and booked some more everyone, ty

4 times ive added everyones %s up and it still comes to 40%. fj;sdnjgfnjkdgn;hg'fh


Best of luck in this Dave + punters

sigh, gl

Off to play the $2k plo now. gl to us all but more importantly me.

I apologise massively if Im wrong but I'm still yet to receive payments from redarmi and mulhuzz?

You could have paid and i've missed it, I could have missed you out when i sent the msg to everyone or you could have just forgotten! regardless I will consider you booked nonetheless and I trust you both :)

 

Not seen mully on the Forum for ages, though he logged on as recently as yesterday.

ty GL me too.

have many chips, many many many chips.

Seriously I do actually have loads of chips, blinds 300-600 and I have about 160k, 21 left and that equates a little below 10% of the total chips inthe room. 8 paid $44k ftw.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh

Good luck!

Mullhuzz moved from Gib back to Newcastle and started a new full time role, also moved into new house so not sure about internet etc, but hes def trustworthy. Will send him link to thread anyway, and if he doesn't pay, i'll vouch and pay.

good luck tomorrow.

Mulhuzz is deffo around, he's coming to the eent we can no longer mention in B'ham on 2nd March

glgl win it all

Do i have a piece of this or just the ME?

Win it all Dave.

Urgh sorry - I forgot all about this.  I am on a train at the moment but will sort it as soon as i can get online.  Apologies once again.

yh never a minutes worry r.e red and mull

Bad news. busted 10th, had a "tournament pot" with top set and NFD vs wrap and flush draw in a 4way 3bet pot, for about 35% of the chips. Grinded my 15 remaining big blinds or w/e till the days final hand where i get KK89 in vs AAJ9 and that was gg two off the money.

sigh

msgd mul for you.

ul

Never mind Dave - the earlier crushage should maintain high morale for the main event.

Dave bubbles another PLO comp, any minute now he will start complaining about collusion again...

Y U NO WIN?

sorry for delay, sending this eve.

haha, oh sigh. Tbf I'm in L.A so the chances were I got cheated several times in the tournament lol

Main event tho, wiiiiiiiiiiiii

I echo this mans sentiments.


<3

You need to either do a win or start a fight in the cardroom to keep your followers happy. England expects :)

Can't we be greedy and have both?

starting a fight with the types of people who frequent this casino would drastically decrease the liklihood of me being able to blog about it, already with a 2digit deficit in limbs lol

winning, I'm trying but so far this trip we've done nothing but finish runner up in most of the hand we've played.

Chin up, Mr N, it's all about handling them swings & swongs. Have a few good cash sessions, then have a good run at that big Tourney.

ok team. here's the deal, this weekend I had food poisoning and was really ill, since getting to L.A i've also been kinda >100% all week, feeling generally pretty sick, so i've been playing like 3-4 hour sessions max.

There is a high chance I won't play the $10k, for two reasons, firstly there is no way I'm playing my best atm, speshly when the session gets past 3 or 4 hours, so playing all day for 5 days if I am lucky enough to go deep is not going to be great, but also if I don't feel well I don't really enjoy playing, and I hate being sat around a table flicking chips around when all I wanna do is be upstairs asleep.

If I genuinely feel like it's the right thing to then I'll play, if not then I'm not going to. Apologies to everyone who I know was looking forward to the sweat.

There is another $10k WPT in Bay101 Shooting stars in 10 days time, so If I do miss it, providing I am back to full fitness I will VERY LIKELY go and play that! so if you'd all like to give it a week and if I go ( was planning on going anyways) roll everyone's percentages over?

Let me know.

Apologies team

Fine by me whatever you decide....inc rollover % obv. Hope trip picks up mate on all levels

fine by me

just win whatever you play hunni. xx

Yup, all good with me, you are driving this car, so you must decide.

Hope you soon feel better.

(http://i40.tinypic.com/2a510o.jpg)

Rollover for me if you don't make LAPC.

Just make sure you do a win in one of them.

not going to play, just dont feel like 12 hour tourney day, been playing 4 or 5 hours max recently. I'd say I'm 90% to go to Bay101, thats a great tourney, moorman has a $5k bounty as well so hopefully bust him :D

Wise decision, probably, hope you soon feel better.

I was chatting to Stu Nutcase Rutter today, tod me he is coming out there to hook up with you, & generally derail you. I warmed him he was so dead if he did.

Haha, yh, if I had a big piece of me in the 100/100plo out here i'd be coming out to de-rail me after the last 4 days :D

So, what the score Dave, are you playing Bay 101 event?

bump

anyone know anything about this?

He has probably been locked up by the LAPD :)

Pretty sure lildave is in LV

Def is.

Hi Everyone!

So So Sorry for me slightly forgetting about this, there were two belguim gentlemen in town who fancied a bit of 50/100nl+plo and we played virtually non-stop from thursday afternoon until tuesday morning. leading me in mt zombie like state to completely forget that the bay101 had even started, I had fully intended to go.

I am without fail (lol) going to play the wynn classic 5k on saturday(or whenever it starts!) and as I gesture of apology for the mayhem of this staking thread (I've been having quite a rough ride out here!) I will roll your %'s over @0.95:1 so if you're happy with that I will refund you $59.65 for each 1% you had.

Sorry again, it's been completely manic for me over here, under-slept and doing my bollocks!

Fine by me obv - just win it and I'll let you off the $150.

Fine with me as well.

When staking, the sweat is usually about whether you get any winnings. This sweat is all about whether my money will actually get spent.

loooool

just win and win dont you

I thought this may come in useful for some of the stakers.

That way Dave doesn't need to keep us updated of his plans, as we can all just check the next date on the calendar.  Unfortunately I couldn't limit it to $5k+ events.

In case this came across wrong, better make it clear that I am happy with whatever you choose, and please do a win in the Wynn Classic.

Thoughm the masochist in me is hoping for the sweat on Jacksonville.

haha. very good

yes I'm a clown, I often forget that whilst it's clinically stupid of me to be this disorganized with my own money (anyone who knows me can back that claim up lol) that's my risk and the constant financial and stressful consquecences I face because of that is my own doing but it's a little irresponsible to be this disorganized with everyone else's!

I am genuinely planning on playing jacksonville. wonder what the odds are I'll actually go lol

lets win the wynn classis first, i'm staying in the encore so high hopes!

arrr poker!

Dayvid go and do a faking win prease.  3h

Entirely happy to go with the flow, Mr N.

Do try & remember when you are due to pay next time, though......

OK with me. TID Sir!

I'm hoping for several reasons that next time a friendly belgium chap wants to play 50/100 I wont be there!

how many times can one man make trips with 53 64 and 23 is beyond me

Ok I've actually registered for the Wynn classic.

What this means is I've approached the cash desk, handed them 4 seemingly worthless pieces of plastic and got a piece of paper in return!

This increases the likihood of me playing significantly! In a moment on sheer lunacy I almost bought into the $2k today as well, I know, what am I thinking lol.

I actually really enjoy playing tournaments but I find motovating myself for them extremely difficult, how the likes of Eddie Eames and everyone in the WSOP plays so many so often is literally beyond me. Anyways, gl us

Win all the chips.

Win all the money.

Make us all a little bit rich.

after a morale boosting trip to the rhino last night I am ready to go!

Goooo Rhinos

(http://www.fantom-xp.com/wallpapers/15/Rhino_Attack_(African_Animals_Wallpaper).jpg)

can confirm I'm actually playing!

pretty tough starting table I think and I have by far the worst seat i the table, two youngkidswithtoomuchmoney and Annette directly to my left, but luckily I'm fucking awesome so it shouldn't be a problem.

Lildave channeling his inner Dubai - HOW CAN WE LOSE?

gl daveeed

OMG who's taller Dave, you or Annette?! short contests ftw.

through to day 2 with 31,075 (30k start) I don't even think I'm exaggerating saying that I've played ~30 hands the entire day, had the worst seat draw possible, Tom Marchese, Annette and Kyle Julius all directly to my left and was completely card dead.

Still, we're in the game and that is what matters and lets not all forget how well I did to actually remember to play! gl me!

#lovethegame

Gotta be in it to win it.

How many runners began?

191 i think. 120~ left and quarterMILLball ftw

gogogo

Wow. Bearded Belgians will be rubbing their hands in anticipation :)

Win f*** all on day one blah blahblah - glgl Dave

Needs more love

Gettttt glgl

I read all his blogs. Some of the best stuff on the Internet after porn :)

going into 600/1200/200 with 134k :)

had a very good last level

That is prolly speshly good.

yay made day 3! was a serious serious grind today, finished with 160k going back to 1200/2400/400 lost two big pots n the last level but had a great seat so was able to make most of it back!

$240k ftw, 32 left

Nice work, Mr N, nice work.

Glglgl

on a side note, Tom Machese could defo be the best player I ever played at NLHE.

Any particular reason why? Gl lilone

Good effort so far! Good luck today!

gl take it down.

39 left 19 paid ave 146k

GLGL!!

I'm almost 100% sure there are 31 left. Defo down to 4 tables.


Not really, just felt like he was awesome sat next to him for 1day+1/2 lots of small perfect plays all the time, makes the difference over massive sicko moves once in a while.

Bust 29th.

sigh

Yuk, chin up man.

Unlucky Lil'Dave #savetheheaterforthesummer

I owe everyone money. It's going to be a bit tricky to sort as having bad bank troubles since been here, and I might end up having to ask someone to do it on my behalf, but I'm on it down worry!

Titbeam, Dan and Tikay, would you guys be ok with Cash in $'s in the summer?

Yeah thats fine

DID SOMEONE SAY VEGAS :D

Yup.

I neve realised you owed us money - how much is it?

lol Tikay. First you slip back into being a degen and now your money management skills and book keeping has all gone tits up. The end of the world is neigh :)

Why don't you just propose another 5k event, or one that whatever is left in the kitty will cover? I'd be happy to roll it over to another.

Or when you next play a beardy Belgian just let him play with our money - he'll spin it up no bother.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hi Guys,

Sorry this has taken a while, I've horror bank problems recently, here is what I owe the people I will have to bank Xfer to

Doobs -  $298.25 (189.81)
AndrewT/Claypole/AlrightJack - $149.23 (94.90)
Tikay - $596.50 (375.62)

Tikay I can sort as I have you set up already, if the other three could PM bank details I'll sort this within the next 5 days.

Dan Morgan I'll sort you out over a nice civilised lunch in leeds :D, Redarmi me and you have other business I should be able to sort pretty quickly from mid-next week and Titbeam I'm just gonna knock him for his 94.90 which I'm sure anyone decent would do in my shoes :D

Mullhuzz IDK if you ever sent, if you did I owe you 94.90, if you didnt you owe me 115.30 (pounds) but dw like i said I know you made a solid effort to try and pay but I was sure I was missing the LAPC at this point and didnt want to take your money without knowing exactly what I was playing, trust you 100% and am confident you would have done if I gave you my bank details when you asked :D

Thanks for the rollover idea's but tbh this has been a bit of a mess so I think putting a line under it and straightening everyone out then next time make an effort to be a little more organised.

I had a LOT of things go against me this trip, not only in the tournaments but with getting ill, the commerce messing up my wire transfer, general timing and loads of other quirker little things that happened to make life tough. I was just constantly put in positions where external stuff was really hindering me making money, not complaining at all such is life I'm really happy with how I played in the tournaments (wynn $5k in particular) just that the stars really were aligned against me from the off-set this time! Sometimes It just isn't your day....

As always thanks for the faith and patience with me, hopefully next time I sell action in a tournament I will win!

GL

Makes perfect sense Mr N, & thank you, a pleasure to do business. I'll confirm when received.

Happy to dance again any time you are up for a bit of financial flirting.

always up for financial flirting.

Have a few wounds that need dressing in the coming weeks!

Then I believe there is a lil tournament series going down in vegas this summer?

We can do that seriously degen thing again - Brekkie @ Venetian. 

IN! I believe I owe you some eggs! :)

FML why you no grim everyone else too?

Where are you now. Seen with JP and Tom do that could be London or hull

IDK, seems bad form to do it to anyone else.

If 2 people come ITT and say I shouldn't grim you then I will send you your money on stars :D

I got back on weds, spent three nights in london and been in leeds since Saturday :)

Rike Y U HATES ME?


I IS NICE

Also would rather be paid back eventually in some form of paper maneys because I have to see you in person to get that and that means something funny is bound to happen!

GIVE BEANEH HIS MANEYS FFS.

mwahaha I has access to multiple accounts weeeeeeeeeee


anyone else I owe money like Pleno better post if they want to see it ROFL

No idea why I did it to get a % of u in some LOLdonkaments, clearly my most expensive post on blonde ever.

looks like no-one wants Titbeam to get his money, which is good news as I've already allocated it for some cool purchases
