blonde poker forum

I have been thinking of putting a staking thread up for a while now for the UKIPT at DTD between 12-16 April and following on from today's announcement of a 7 figure guarantee now is the time to go for it. Buy in as most people are aware is £770 and due to my current situation, this is beyond my limit. First prize will no doubt be in the region of 200k and I do have the belief/vision that a bink is around the corner!!!

I am looking at selling 50% at 1:1 and having 50% for good measure. Having read the recent staking thread I think this proposal ticks all the right boxes in terms of weight for and against.
So 5% = £38.50, 10% = £77 and so on.

A little about me, I have been a member of blonde for two plus years and mainly lurk in the background usually attempting a funny line here or there that usually goes a miss! Initially drawn in by the updates I began to realise the valued input of certain members in various threads. I obviously follow a few diaries and have had a little staking input here and there, this has been due to my lack of play and fancying a little interest. I must say a certain Fosters drinking Geordie came up trumps on my first foray into staking and I wore my f5 key out on that occasion.

I have only ever played away from DTD on two occasions (not including an event in Vegas I pure bubbled), so my live results are DTD orientated. The biggest comps I have played have been the deepstack in its £300 life on seven occasions, only the one cash and that was a 4th place for £6.5k, although I felt i should have won and played for the win. The £150 six times and chopped one for 4k and placed 5th in another. I have also drawn blanks in a £200 event and in last years £550 UKIPT at DTD. This apart my record at DTD in all tourneys from Nov 08 to date shoes a £17k profit, despite currently going through a £4k downswing. My volume of a late is very infrequent but I have just started to play the monthly £150 as this is in my ballpark, so on average once a month. On line my play has drawn down, I showed good profit between 2005 and 2010 on Ladbrokes although no stats are available for this period and since these have been tracked in late 2009/early 2010 my volume has been very low and my figures show a couple of grand profit, likewise on stars where I play rarely I am losing just over 1k.

My hendon mob just for Herbie, although there is nothing to see....

Update 1 April...
MTT Destroyer 5% Paid
Milligan84 10% Paid
Bobby 10% Paid
Fraser 20% Paid
Mr Keys 5%

(also sold a further 5% to another poker playing friend, although that is lower than I had hoped to go)
I have bought into preferred day 1 (Friday - 1C) and the direct buyins on Stars looks rather tasty. I would loved to have the played the 150 next week to get my eye in, however with a couple of busy weeks at work I'll be fresh for the 200k bink!

Obv you forget to mention ur best bink when you binked the microgaming jackie for 20k you clown, up me to 10% please as It looks like I will be unable to play this myself.

Hi Craig,

Are you taking payment by bank transfer or Stars, or both?

thanks

Ill take 20% sir please

Either, but bank is preferred!

Cool,

I will take 10% for some interest sir.

cheers and good luck

Cool cool, consider it booked!

will take the last 5

Merci beaucoup! booked and sold out. Will be in touch with all.

Many thanks, Craig

See you there Craig!  Which Day 1 you playing?

Friday is my fancy, although work depending I may choose Thurs! What day are you playing Mr Phillips?

OP ammended with whose paid up. PMs being sent to the others ref this.

As stated I bought into day 1c a few weeks ago and this has now sold out. It was never in doubt that the gte would be smashed in my eyes. Now it's time to make all those in the OP a few pounds!

Rest

hi Craig, will ship tonight when I get your details.

Thanks

Bugger

seem like a v.nice guy, vbol :)

Thanks pleno, but nice guys finish..... Just as well for those that know me, I am a miserable, moody and obnoxious fella!  ;)

And he 4 bets 99 level 2

Villain and dynamic dependant, obv had the desired result as you folded jacks!

And before you mention it, you did pull my pants down in 2 hands, one where i was barrelling and the other where you make a negative long term play out of the big blind..... Who busto'd first? Blah blah blah

Unfortunately I've known this fish for many years, everything he says is true!

Luckily for us he is the luckiest Ginger man on the planet and his game isn't too bad. I fully expect us all to be getting mad dimes shipped back our way. Go bettsie go, Bettsie be gooooood!


Who ground it out for 2 days didn't get to go out with the boys and managed to cash enough to barely cover petrol to the venue. I thank you

But 1 of my cards matched 2 on the board and you called me with A high

Incorrect sir, the turn was a 6 and this matched my holding, so the nut worst card for me as it's the only card I put money in with. As for the same play you made against seat 2? you lost more than you won versus myself and it also sent your mind into spaz. I rest my case, minus ev!

Glad to see you took my taking notes online into the live environment! Good memory! I of course have no idea of the hand you talk of!

The hand versus me you call from the bb with j8 blue and the hand versus seat 2 you call from bb with 10 9o, flop came 9 high and you check/call 3 streets and villain flips acey nine! You even gave it your insta verbal call with no chip movement (Guy only does this when he knows he's good).

you can remember the  8h 9h tho Guy.. Made me piss how you kept on about in taxi after, 50ps all over the floor.. :)
Also good luck Craigy Baby..  :)up

Oh I played that hand incred! How the fk does he have A9

He almost mucked when I called
