blonde poker forum

Hi there.

I am looking to sell 40% at 1.2 (up from 1.17 from my last request) for the £550 888 High Roller at the Palm Beach this Sunday. The last one they held there had 61 runners with £10,675 for the winner and as it is coming up to Christmas perhaps there will be more players.

I am coming off the back of winning the £250 Aspers Christmas Cracker two days ago, which had a lot of good players involved, for £9750. This result made it my 3rd final table of my last 4 outings, with my sixth being my 30th cash in the Irish Winter Festival for over 2000 euros and the other final tables being the £165 888 super stack (so I am aware and used to the 888 tourney structure) with a £20k prizepool coming 6th and coming 7th in a £110 £10k GTD at Big Slicks.

Looking to sell so much as I am being very disciplined now with BRM and this is in line with what I want. Must seem a little odd that I took £700+ of myself in the Genting Main Event and am now asking for 40% of a £550 but that was much more of a one off shot that annoyingly didn't go my way, through no lack of effort on my part. Whereas this is hopefully the start of some more backing requests that I will ask on here for around the £500-£1000 region, where I will be selling around 40%-60%. Really keen to make a profit for any investors which I have already done coming 10th in the Walsall GUKPT, pretty close to winning the lot that time :(.

I am primarily an online player and make most of my money from that and I am enjoying these live games so much now that I would like to be involved in anything worth playing such is my enthusiasm and hopefully that results in another win on Sunday if I get the backing.

My hendon mob is here http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=124220  unfortunately without a lot of my binks. £5k score from the Vic is missing along with the Aspers, Big slicks, a $1400 score on a cruise ship (actually located on another online database) and the 888 super stack.

For online play my stats are here and haven't changed much from my last staking request.

2.5%=£16.50
5%=£33
10%=£66
20%=£132

Happy to answer any questions and hopefully there are some interested people here.

10% pls Ant

Just had a mate let me know he wants 15% so that is booked for him. 25% left.

Now 15%, nice one Ed.

PM bank details once sold out and I will wire over. Very best of luck.

PS. 20% should be £132 ;)

Edited. I am a bloody embarrassment.

Mother Gaughan has caught wind of this and wants in on the action for 2.5%. So 12.5% remaining.

Hope mother doesn't have to pay the mark up?

Will take 7.5% pls mate

Yeh she does, gotta be fair to everyone!

Nice one Eso, you are booked, there is 5% left.

Ant dont you read your pm's?

Right mistake by me as I saw Eso's comment before the PM I got from Bobalike. He sent me a PM saying he would take the rest 8 mins before Eso came in for 7.5%. I confirmed Eso above without knowing this. So I am now going to be selling 47.5% to accommodate both people.

Honest mistake Bobalike, hope all is cool.

Staking closed.

Pokerstars or bank transfer preferred and will send out pm's seeing what you guys fancy.

These things happen. Thanks Ant match it with Eso 7.5 if you prefer.

Yh cool with that

I couldn't ask you to go down to 7.5%, as I think that would tilt me if I get near to cashing/eventually do and selling 47.5% total is fine by me anyway.

So 10% EdGascoigne
     12.5% BobAlike
     7.5% Eso Kral
     2.5% Mum
     15% Mate of mine

Sent pms out to Eso and Bob and about to send to Ed.

Cheers peeps.

Shipped via bank.

Good luck mate

FYI.....this is now taking place at Cromwell Mint not Palm Beach.

Best of luck. Superb team assembled 3 decent blokes, mum & mate. Deserves back to backs

Waitlist all, first day not on blonde in forever :P gl m8

Ty for the info ripple, I quite enjoyed the banter from some of the dealers at the Cromwell Mint last time out, it was superb and I was in stitches on quite a few occasions. The poker manager there seemed a nice guy too so hopefully another FT and an enjoyable time there.

Cheers Smashedagain would be lovely to do for these people!

Ty for the gl rfgqqabc. Think I am going to pm ppl that have already backed me before going live with any future request, which should hopefully mean you won't miss out again.

If you bink you can just say mum theres your christmas present sorted also! Easyy!

Good luck

Ha, yeh that would be a plan, she gets a good pressie every year anyway, so would act as a top up.

Quite an important gesture from Mum really, as I said i have been selling packages before, but she's always been of the feeling I am a fish and I should go and get a real job, which to be fair I will get eventually. This sort of acts as an acceptance of what I do, which is nice.

Shipped via Bank mate GLGLGLGL

Ty Eso.

The lot of you, from Blonde, have now shipped. Lets do a win on Sunday.

Is that your way of politely saying your mum is grimming you? lol

Yeh. She's giving me the I have brought you into the world and reared you nonsense :)

Nah she has paid, partially in Favourite chicken form. It's my mate on the current grim but he'll pay.

Going to be playing today with no problems and playing a bit of cash at the Hippodrome beforehand from about 10am probs, play there a few hours and jump on the tube to the Mint.

My batt is nearly dead, I think either on the event's fb page or on Genting or somewhere there are updates and possible streaming but not 100%. Next time you get an update from me I will be back home.

Hope it comes in lads.

Good luck

Good luck Ant. Keep that streak alive!

Cheers peeps, found some time beforehand so I am messing about at an internet cafe nearby, already registered.

Can you get phone charged for updates?

Are there any official updates for this?

Ants got 54k, 8 handed - 5 paid. Follow Cromwell Mint on Fb and a few updates, first time heard him
Mentioned all day. Gl gl

6 handed, he just Rivered an A for 80k pot

4 handed they have  guarantee £4k each. Further £2.8k to the winner.

Wp Ant. Now bring home the title!

Min raise from dealer, sb folds, I'm in bb with 1010 and about 30 bbs, the raiser has been calling all ins light all night and I shipped he has very similar stack and calls with QK which is a bit mental, unlucky for it to be a flip!

It ran out so brutal

QQ10

K

Blank

Crippled and out next hand. Backers pm me bank details, i should be able to pay you instantly upon seeing your deets.

One long hard slog btw! Was on 10bbs for a few levels late on but bided my time and took advantage of some sloppy play. Shame I couldn't get the extra 2800 but a successful stake nonetheless!

Well played Ant. Harsh exit but as you say, successful stake and a nice Xmas bonus.

Money received already in my bank. It's like I was at the cash desk with you. Lol
I'd like to nominate you for the Usain Bolt award for bank transfers.
 Cheers mate.

Probably a slight hint of a little thin. Update from The Poker Deck.



Anthony Gaughan BUST in 3rd for £4,000

Anthony Gaughan has busted The 888poker Super Stack after playing some absolutely brilliant poker. Anthony told us at the last break how a few of his friends invested in him over the weekend and anyone who did have a stake can feel mighty proud of their decision, let me tell you. Gaughan really brought his A-Game, and just told us that if he'd made heads-up, he was going all out for th win - and we believe him.

The talented young man was all-in with pocket tens, called by Kulvir Kulaira with KQ.

"Argh. I didn;t want to see overs!" sighed Anthony, but he was loving the flop...

FLOP - Q-T-Q

A full house for Anthony, and elation...was short-lived.

TURN - KING!

Kulvir hit a higher full house (three-handed, don't forget!) and no case ten came on the river. It was an incredible beat, and Anthony busted the next hand after being crippled by that hand.

Gaughan - 14,000 (-264,000)
Kulaira - 524,000 (+264,000)

Haha, that's the sort of service you get from me mate. Have borderline man love for you anyway for always backing me in these packages, so only need an excuse!

WP fella, and unlucky at the end.

Unlucky in the last hand Ant, but great result and well played!

Congratulations Ant, good result

Great effort mate and unlucky not to go back-to-back. Sounds like you played your socks off.

Will pm details over now. Have a top Christmas.

You too Ed and money is now sent.

Thanks a lot for the nice words, appreciated!

Well played Ant nice result! Have a good Xmas

Confirmed received. Will stake again :)

Very well played Ant, congratulations.

OIOIOIOI
Was off line all day yesterday  WP bud lmk if you dont already have bank details

Cheers again for the lovely comments. Hopefully I can take it into 2013!

PM sent Eso, basically don't have your deets, otherwise I would have sent already, if i do, they may be lost in the flurry of previous pm's. As soon as I know em, funds will be in your account.

well done ant

very nice....well played ;applause;

Cheers peeps.

Money has now been sent Eso, which so completes the stake, ta very much guys and have a great xmas!

I am going to get trolleyed tonight and then I am going to eat a fucking curry.
