blonde poker forum

After skillfully bricking the Scottish Poker Series and also tragically missing out on hitting number 5 on the roulette wheel on multiple occassions, I am left shy of the £240 required to participate in the Genting Mini Festival this weekend (3rd to 5th August).  Nb I am also missing the money to eat so if you want to send me steaks, that would also be good.

Tournament
The tournament is a 3 day event, 15,000 chips for £150 with a 10,000 chip £75 top up and £15 reg, so its £240 all in.  We will take top up immediately and sit as deep as possible.  40 minute clock, so plenty of play and I would expect the £20k gtee to be smashed, the SPS got £50k although more heavily promoted, Genting tends to be more popular with the kids, so I would expect around £25k to £30k in the pot.

About Me
I have a blog on here, I have been a winning local player in Edinburgh for 12 years and was also the second worst player in Luton for 5 years during an Edinburgh hiatus.  I recently owned Celtic heads up at Luton to once again confirm myself as the second worst player.  Admittedly I did have a 939393939:1 chip lead and flopped the nuts relentlessly.  I play regularly and will have experience of a large proportion of the field.  I have also no issue in dealing with these button clicking lunatics from the West who flooded the Maybury this week.  The secret is turn the nuts, and then pile them in (dont let them know I told you that).

I have made day 2 and near bubbled the last two of these events.  I also made day 2 of the previous SPS (and near bubbled) as well as day 2 of the Glasgow £50 £25k game (and near bubbled), once of my two attempts.  I think this proves I can bubble with the absolute best of them.  Or more importantly I am more than competitive in the field.  I only have one result of note, but I do not play that many.

I have been staked on here before, I also embrace the community spirit and have regularly staked othes over the year or two.  I am a financial professional (somehow) and grimming people is something I would never do, I am sure my mummy will happily vouch for my trustworthyness, she will also confirm I am ace at providing birthday cards and imaginative Xmas presents.

I will be playing this tournament sober, which may be an issue and playing on Sunday (day 1b) so if you are religous alcoholic lover, this may not be the one for you.  Day 2 starts 6pm Monday and final table will be streamed.

What I am Selling

I am selling 50% at spot which I think represents good value in an Edinburgh based competition.  You would have no share of my attempts to hit number 5 on the roulette wheel following the tournament.  Unless you expressly ask.

50% = £120
25% = £60
10% = £24
5% = £12

I can take bank or Stars (before Wednesday as need to cash out by weekend) - Rab90

Why I am Selling?

If Pay = X and Spent this weekend = Y

2x-2y= X

Second Bullet

I may take a second bullet if I can nip like a pro at the casino and/or I find some money before Friday (my kidney is currently listed on fb and I am soliciting offers).  This will only be done if I feel I am playing well and the reentry is at a sensible stack point, second bullet monies will not be requested until after tournament (as I trust you all), and anyone who confirms will be down as booked.

Sent stars.  Please win.  If you don't win, make sure it was because you didn't buy in.

This is my intention, I am playing to make sure a roof is kept over your head and to feather my somewhat defeathered nest!

Geo - not sure if we have played together before, come say hello, pictures of me on my blog.

Boba - I will be down Saturday night (after Shakies Karaoke), if you are going just chuck at the cage or give to Martin Smith or someone like that.  Failing that, put it on number 5 and let me know how I did :)

 ;goodluck;

Only just seen this, if I had said funds spare I would have bought some for sure.

Funniest staking thread for a while on here, really hope you win decent glgl!

Cheers Dreenie, don't worry, no doubt do my conkers again before several other tournaments, should really guard them better :) plenty of chances ha ha

Small chance we are playing today, will update before 6pm start....also for transparency, hero can't count to 50 and has therefore only sold 40% #equityrelease

Playing Saturday may increase the chances of second bullet, for certain wont be two tonight, will post early if I am, although pretty academic anyway as I plan to get shit done, on dreenies advice I have ripped the call button off the keyboard :) could be entertaining.

Thanks for opportunity, I will leave it all on the dance floor

Confirmed - playing tonight

I will have 10% if its available ? Please, if yes pm bank details

Soz mate, only just seen this, started and in, I am just keepin the 60% thanks for the interest

Warning - we have a lunatic on our table, has been all in 5 of 9 hands played with 30k, raising to 1000 at 25/50

Actually could have stacked off already, playing tight as a badger till he is out or we find our spot

You twittering sir ?

Will do some @el_raberto follow to find out what I eat for dinner each night

No probs gl gl

Above starting 35k, down to 20k, called 2 streets, then 8k out of 16k on river with 3rd pair 6 kicker and we are good, working with Jedi reflexes clearly not lolling of our dough

Bokked lost 30k pot aipf QQ < 66 so bad, sticking to 3rd pair and no more bok posting

10bb zone Red Alert :(

0BB sorry team, will report tomorrow, after anti crushing a cash game

We did not take a second bullet, you will all be pleased to hear!

Brief report, we got put on a table with Davie Doran who loves blind flips and was 20x ing pre at 25/50, sat down, opened AJ to 125, got smoothed in seat 1, Davie makes it 1000, we fold, to be honest we could just LOL 4b as we are good 99% of time, but its a 60/40 for staclk in hand 1 but with the smooth behind from a very capable player I am concerned of a retrap.  I am quite right, and he managed to get Davie all in with AK, Davie holding Q2, for 15k, unfortunately he has not added on yet (we have) and therefore is back in with 15000, I am more than happy mixing it with maniacs, but when staked and on a 1 bullet strategy, I really didnt want to do our cash in 2 hands unless we have him coffined.  Very similar we get QQ and open, Davie only calls (after doubling twice), we get an Ax7 flop, and end get donk led into by AN other player, just let it go again, and Davie somehow had 77 to double again through AK, lucky Ace as we would be slamming them in vs Davie.  Hard to describe how mental this table was for the 10 minutes I was on it but it was pretty ugly.

We get moved and get a reasonable table, quickly find travelling player to my right is LOL bad, one Glasgow cash game pro, multi tabling with a 1/3 cash game and some locals we know.  Then Deano Supermo gets thrown in, although he tends to sleep pre antes.  Very few hands of note to be fair.  We have 76 versus LOL bad player, call down 3 streets, on a K7228 board and are good versus what I can only guess was the square route of zero.  Suddenly up to 35k and feeling happy in and around level 4, having gone from 18-22k pretty constantly for a few hours.  very next hand we get two limps with QQ, we make it 1900 at 200/400, due to the limps, and get the old New York back raise from 2nd limped (Mr LOL bad) to 4000, we pull back our 1900 and put in 10k, he has about 15k, he dwell shoves with 66 and turns a 6.....pretty pivotal moment as that would have been 55k, well above average and comfortable, as it was we have 20k and Deano Supremo about to switch to ante hoover mode.  Not ashamed to admit for the next hour we got beaten up pretty bad, 3b when at the bottom of our raising range way too much, in hindsite should have 4b shoved at least once, as the 3b range is so wide.

We fall to 10bb, after doubling up through LOL bad guy who shoves his 10k into our 10k when we have cowboys, we then fall back to 10BB after defending Ax suited, to a late minraise, calling street one with a draw, then barrelling 2 and 3 to a check.  We should have shoved river, hero had AK and owened our soul with a better A high.  We are back at 10BB get one shove through with QJ before we shoved KQ of Parsley over a min open and call, good spot, and good hand, as there is perceived extra dead money, original raiser folds and unfortunately flat caller is at the top of his smoothing range with the fuck my life tastic AQ, we dont win!

Sorry for not being able to push the sweat, I tried like a bear, a very very timid bear without a 4b button, but a bear none the less, we also failed to hit 5 on roulette, anyone who wanted a piece of that action 10% of my efforts costs £10, which is not too bad, was fairly reserved.

For Tonytats, I would have graciously accepted your offer (good swerve) but due to the Davie Doran situation, I did not want to accept then bust 4 minutes later and have after timing issues, had it not been for that you would have been kindly accepted into this lovely little team of ours.  Tomson, I will buy you curtains to make up for this cruel injustice, thankfully did not finish 6th so you cant kick me in nuts (with permission)
