blonde poker forum

This weekend sees the second of three consecutive DTD £50,000 Deepstacks in May, which blondepoker is updating

Tonight's Day1a begins at 7pm

Late registration until 12.40pm

15 levels of 30 minutes, 30,000 starting chips, 40 minute clock on day 2

(http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/images/whatson/150-logo.png)

Last weekend's event attracted 372 entries, won by David Trigg for over £14,000

Rob Yong spoke of the £150 as follows

"I have to say this is the best weekly tourney we have every done in terms of format, obviously not in terms of prizepools, when were were down to 9 players the average was 45BB, and 30,000 enuf chips at the start to make a few mistakes. I love the 30/40 clock format, definitely an advantage to the better players, if I get back from UKIPT Dublin I think I'll play this £150 at the weekend to try the format myself. Obviously we won't win the prize for originality by using the WSOP main event blinds and ante structure, but at £150 (or £135 + £15), best comp we have ever done IMO"


Of course there are competing attractions this weekend, from UKIPT to SCOOP to the Champions League final. Hopefully numbers will hold up and we'll have another corking event

Please join me from 7pm tonight.

What time will it finish tonight please?

We are up to 76, which is a relief. Not just to DTD, but to me also. The prospect of updating on 50 hardly souls to 4am...

This is the first of these 30 minute day one clocks I have done. The OCD in me will be watching the structure with interest

Does the hair cut help in any way to shrug off the Bieber nick name?

Would you prefer "The nicest guy in poker"?

Even though I am an extremely nice guy and eveything. That too long of a nickname and I think it my already be taken. So why don't we just stick with PJ? Just putting that one out there people.

Sitting to the direct right of the nicest guy in poker are Greek Jack and Carla Goddard

As much as I'm still reeling from the suck out, got to say, the £150 is a great tournament, brilliant structure and the prize pool is immense for a £150 buy in. It's also affordable for even a recreational player like myself... Hats off to you again DTD.. Paving the way...

I'll definitely play again...

Hollands checks and Gascoigne shoves 65,000 into 30,000

Hollands passes (9-8 he says after)

Gascoigne shows him a cheeky  4c

Tonight we've been accompanied all night by Absolute 80s on the PA

Awesome stuff



The last three minutes  King, Love and Pride

Now Billy Idol, Rebel Yell


Keeping me going during the quiet hours. Glad for their sakes that no one is nearby though.....

nah due's must be given to the tightone.  Besides I'm shit with words, I just take pretty pictures which is a skill given the subject matter I am presented with :)

Two levels to play tonight

38 of 147 left

Average 142,000

Blinds 1500-3000


Chip leader Waheed Ashraf with a whopper. 400,000


I have put Jamie Moult on tilt as Wadey got my football trivia question before he did

Expect Jamie to be out soon, such is his shame

So Lonely by The Police now. White reggae. Before Sting became a tosser.

As no one is reading, I will admit to buying the 7 inch single of De Doo doo doo, de da da da by The Police once

Mad Man Anon, who is driving his table to the wall by playing 9-5 and 10-3 and hitting this time has a hand, and raises with Q-Q

Comely woman Anon decides to call with 8-6 despitre an under average stack, in the blinds

She shoves 10-8-4, Q-Q snaps her off and hits a Q on the turn for good measure as that Anon battle is resolved once and for all in the lunatic's favour


Meanwhile, as it plays, I have decided that Queen "Its a hard life" is sentimental tosh, and Queen's worst song.

It has just gone off and been replced by Howard Jones. Soft soft for the blonde coiffured one.

Ahhhh one of my fav songs ever by The Police, pre-sting tosser days obv, was The Bed's to Big Without You. Bass to die for....

sorry for derailment.

Paul Grummitt knocks out Pete Evans

Grummitt Jacks versus Ace-King suited

Jacks hold on 5-6-7-8-6

From across the table comes a plaintive cry

"oh no, I would have hit a full house"

Not a great fan of those sort pf exclamations personally. There's a reason why you don't play 5-6 to a raise and a 3 bet shove sir.

How old are you Maria? ;)

How old do you want me to be?

Ian Gascoigne shoves 50,000 with A-J

Mark Robert calls all in with A-7 in the small blind

Joseph Cockburn wakes up with J-J in the big blind, calls all in too

120,000 main pot, scooped by Jacks



Gascoigne short, open shoves 10-9 next hand, reshoved by Babak Naini with A-Qss

5-3-8-7-6 and Gascoigne doubles back up with a clench of the fist and a David Hirst like pout

Manic Monday by the Bangles


I do a mean Susanna Hoffs on the Karaoke



Lastbreak of the night, one level left  32 left

blinds go 2-4k

Average 160,000

All chasing Wadey (not literally, even I would catch him) with over 400,000

John Picken gets  Qs 9s in pre against Wadey's  5s 5c

flop  3c 6c 7c

Picken doubles up when it comes  8h Th, up to 90,000

Interesting time for the forum to go down, very tempting to head off to bed

sadly it came back :-)

Still 31 left with a few minutes to go

Unusual, no flurry of late exits


Paul Grummitt has 300,000 and is certainly top 3 in chips. He just shoved over a Jamie Moult lateposition raise, eliciting a fold showing the Ace of Spades


Umar Khan just shoved a flop of  4h 7h 8h as the pre-flop raiser against Wadey's big blind. Wadey think-folds and is shown "my favourite hand"  9c 7c

How many of these can you recognise? Ever wonder that when you walk past to the smoking area?

There are 35 caricatures, reckon I can get 24 with confidence. Not too impressive
