blonde poker forum

Hi guys,

This is my first ever staking thread on Blonde, so please be gentle...

I'm headed back to Prague this year for the Prague Poker Festival. Had a great time out there last year, the games were soft and i've decided to grind more MTTs this year, rather than cash, so I will be following suit in Prague.

About Me:

My name is Thomas High. I am a full-time professional poker player. I come from a background of online cash games and played heads-up online cash for a living for 2 years. For the past year or so I have been living with Andrew 'Stato_1' Hulme and Alex 'Cambridgealex' Goulder, so I have found myself drawn into more live and online MTTs, with some success and certainly learning a lot in this time bouncing ideas off of eachother. Unfortunately I have not been able to play anywhere near as many live MTTs as I would have liked (mostly due to cricket commitments over summer), hence my fairly bare Hendon Mob:

I have however played a lot of live cash poker and therefore feel I have a good understanding of the quite clear differences/adaptions that must be made in this format.

I also last year won the Big 11 and 11r on Stars for 9.5k and 12.5k respectively.

What I will be playing:

I plan on taking this trip seriously and will be grinding as many MTTs as possible during my ~2 week stay in the Czech Republic.

What I am selling for:

King's €1,000 - 30% = €300
WPT Prague €3,300 - 50% = €1650
Eureka Tour Prague Main €1,100 - 35% = €385

Buy-ins at spot = €5,400
Package cost at spot = €2335.00
Selling at 1.14 = €2662

1% = €26.62 = £21.35
5% = €133.10 = £106.73
10% = €266.20 = £213.46   (note 10% of package = 3% of King's, 5% of WPT and 3.5% of Eureka Main)

(%s refer to total cashes of the listed tournaments)

Otherwise I'll be in DTD today (& probably tomorrow) with a very slim chance of Sunday (ldo) if you wish to settle that way.

Cheers to all those who invested. Feeling good about this!

No worries, will send this eve

GLGLGL

i'll do bank. pm me deets pls.

Sent out PMs last night. I copied and pasted the same msg to everyone... i'm pretty sure I changed the £/$/€ amounts correctly, but may have quoted some people who had 10% as having 5% etc, but those are just mis-types.

Hey.  Shipped just now by bank. Sorry for the delay

finally shipped do a win pls

Too good, too, too good :)

Thigh is this happening? Are u trying to get out at a later date? Make it happen!!

Unfortunately it appears that I won't be able to attend Prague this year, thus will be refunding all investors via the method of payment i received (will discuss with those who paid in cash individually). I'm sure most of you are aware I have lost my passport and have been trying to sort out a replacement/find the existing one, but it appears i'm drawing dead on both fronts. I'm obviously pretty gutted to be missing out on the trip, not least as it's a great opportunity so make some serious $$, but its also a great place to visit and this means i'll be grinding an empty house for my birthday on the 6th now! MARV!

Sorry about this guys, will try and get all the money sorted in the next couple of days... i'll wait until the boys set off tomorrow in case it magically turns up in that period.

Apologies once more.

Couldnt you get a later flight mate?

Use someone else's passport who looks a bit like you. Attendant dont even bother looking at the photos these days.

Lol

did i have a slice, did u paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The I've lost my passport grim

Ive sent you a Stars refund

To those people who want a bank xfer return, pm bank details plz

how much have you cashed for?

Sorry about taking a bit long with refunds, totally my fault to those who have sent me bank details already. I've sent back to those who have PMd me the info (muckthenuts, Amatay and Honeybadger). Ive also sent back to Trigg on stars. (and i'll settle Eso Kral up with Al as requested)

Still need to settle with Mr.Giblin, Mr.Wayman, Mr.Bedi and scotty77. How do you guys want the money returned??

FUCK YEAH it's like i've won something. bam


will pm bank deets ta.

pmed you a couple of days ago mate :)

Hey, you sent the euros figure to my bank account and not the £'s so have overpaid me and probably others. Have shipped back £26.47. Cheers mate. 

Ahh poop, yes i've done that with everyone. FML i suck at life, sorry people.

HAVE WE SHOWN A PROFIT


OH BOY WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah if Amatay and Titbean could send back £26.37 and Honeybadger £52.74 that would be great :) sorry guys. Grats on the short-term profit though haha. I'll try and send yours now and get it right scotty77.

Change it into dong.

just seen this. will sort in a few days

don't it's way too much fun!

Good luck with your next staking package

:D

well we're both relaxed. have you sent me the details to actually ship this back to you yet? I can't see anything in my pms and I sure as shit haven't sent you anything yet :P

You should have them as you sent me by bank xfer in the first place? I can send again if you've deleted that msg?

ah no i'm just lazy so wont have gone back more than a 1 page in my inbox or checked my outbox. will get onto it when i've busted the world today so assume i'll have shipped by tomorrow early evening-ish :)up lol

Don't even know if I've received a refund lol

sigh andy not grimming Thigh? threads gotten boring now.

I know I feel too bad though i'm not like you Dayvid. I've held out for as long as I could I wanted him to come chasing but he's so lazy that he hasn't bothered and now my conscience has got to me sighs.

I sent to everyone except Giblin aaaages ago (sent too much back to nearly everyone as i'm a massive spaz) ... still awaiting his bank deets.

I'm proud to say that I've just rebated for your inept rebate.


I shipped £26.36.
