blonde poker forum

Hi guys,

My name is Ryan Spittles, you have probably seen my either on Sky Poker TV or maybe during the Sky Sports Cash Game where I did my brains to Dempsey et al!

I have sold a couple of packages on blonde before, the last being a WSOP package for this summer which returned a small profit to investors over 8 or 9 events.

Here is my hendon mob:

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=196990 (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=196990)

I would like to offer 25% in 2 events during the upcoming Barcelona festival as a mini package.

€1100 Estrellas Main Event 1B on 29th Aug @ 1.2 = €1320

€5300EPT Main Event Day 1A on 1st Sept @ 1.0 - €5300

1% = €66.20
2.5% = €165.50
5% = €331

Bank Transfer only please.  Use whatever is on XE when shipping and I'll send deets ASAP.

Obviously I think that I can justify MU for the EPT HOWEVER:

1. I managed to satellite in
2. I have never played an EPT before, whereas I have quite a few decent results in 1k£/$ events to 'justify' the MU in the Estrellas.
3. You guys are the ones doing me the favour, not the other way around

This will be my second time in Barcelona.  Last year I went for the Estrellas 1k and it was a pretty incred tournie (although last year on every table I played there was a min of 3 English reg grinders) and am very glad to be going again.  From memory I busted mid way in Day 2, I think something like 60-80 before the money.

I will be prepared for the queues and stuff too which were really bad last year and I am getting a flight the day before the Estrellas to be really ready for the tournie.

Depending on how I feel, I may add in the Estrellas 2k High Rolller, and if I do play then investors will have first refusal in an equivalent share in that event @ 1.0.

Thanks

Enjoy!

Didn't do much first 2 levels.  Took down a few small pots and was at 23k from 20 at the first break.

Then 2nd hand into level 3 solid guy whos played maybe 1 hand in 2 hours opens MP 2 calls and I call 75dd on the button.  Flop is just the 8d6dQx and he checks.  I bet 750 into 2k to pot build and obv happy to take it down.  OR check raises to 1.9. Thought about just piling in but given its the very first aggro action he's done in 2 hours I peel.  Turn 3s and he bets 1.9 again. I call. River Ts and he just snap bombs pot.  Thoughts on flop/turn?

3b KK and get called and cbet on a TT9 and get a tank fold

Open KQo BTN and BB peels. QT2r  and he check calls 325 cbet. Turn 3c bringing cFD and he check calls 900. River Qd. He donks 1600 and I go to 4.7 and calls wQ9.

Then v aggro Russian/eastern opens CO to 450 I 3b A6o BTN 1025 he 4b 2525 and I 5b 5025 and he snap folds.

Found KK and got 3b but the guy folded to my 4b :(

Got 35k at 150/300/25

Nice start Ryan.

Bricked a few pots with hands like JTs and 77 to take me down to 30k.

Then folded to the aggro guy SB and he goes to 1k at 2/400.  I peel with 69ss from the BB.  Flop is Q98r he checks and I check. Turn is a 5s giving me FD and a gutshot too. He bets 1.1 and I call. River is a 9 and he quickly bets 3.2. I think about calling but so many draws missed I think he can call with so much worse. I go to 8.5 and he calls w JT. Thoughts?

Folded for a bit then took down a 5k pot with 98hh. Get the 753hh flop and BB check calls then check folds on a Qh turn :(

Just over 24k going back to 300/600.  Table is annoying as no ones giving it away really. Tonnes of nits and not a lot of action.  The aggro guy to my left I thought was aggro but seen his showdown hands and just always has the nuts!

Feeling good tho.

Grinding now. Last couple of levels been between 20 and 35 3/4 times.

Got 25k going into 500/1000/100. Only 2 more levels to play. Had a table break and it looks a bit better. Got one of plenos pokerstrat mates on my left tho.

whom? say hi.

Glgl

I just read this looked up and he was all in and out the door ha

 Gl Ryan thanks for the updates

Nothing level. No hands and no spots.  18k at 6/1200!

Bust first hand of new level. Fairly active guy opens CO out of 22bb.  I'm BTN and 15bb and jam QJcc. He has AQ and we get a very boring non sweat 336ddh48 board.  Maybe I can just fold as not much FE but he was opening into 2 quite nitty older guys who both had 70k plus and I think it was obvious to the whole table they'd locked for day 2.

Always jamming the qjs, I think raising the 69 is a little thin vs his
Sizing tho, gl in ept

Ul on to the next one

The lucky draw is table 10 seat 5

Started about an hour ago. Got into a 5b pot with KK and the board ran out annoying.  Will post it during break. Table seems full of aggro young guys. 29k

25.5k at break. Had 2 minor hands where I had trips v flushes but lost the min both times.

Enjoying it?

Hope so.

Good luck.

Yep loving it!

Good man. Don't miss the moment.

Best of luck Ryan! I echo Tikay's sentiment very good advice.

Never give up & glglgl Xx

Just win. You'll enjoy it more.

This too

Good luck Ryan

19k at second break. Triple barrelled with a SD/FD that didn't get there and got policed.  And had to 3b/fold to cold 4s twice

Won a nice one before the break getting three streets with top top. 26k going back to 2/400/50a

Last 2 levels went really well. Won every big pot I played. 65k going into 3/600/75 with one level left.

Gooooooooooo! Good luck mate, keep up the good work

Good luck...get me out of it :)

Good luck son.

Day 2 w 79k returning at 4/800/100! Happy with the days work

Great day mate. See you Tuesday hopefully!

I think the fella in Seat 5 is the chap who signed for Arsenal yesterday.

Cheers :)

Looks like a reasonable competent table.

On a football theme, Piqué and John Carew have made day 2 here

I attempted to interview Pique in Vegas, but he refused. Proper mardy he was, too.

Like you sir ! Lol

Take it down buddy :)

3b A5. Flop 234r and the guy does his brains on a 4 turn with only chop equity.

Then knock him out w AK v his TT get the QJ92...T board

155k

BOOM

WAL

November niner seat 2 too. gl for the rest of the day bud :)

Open AK.  Balsinger calls. BTN jams 22k. We rejam. Balsibger folds. Up v KJ.  AJQ4T board. Chopaments :(

Chop the small, win the big  8)

Good luck mate!

175k at break. Going to 6/1.2/200a. Table now has Vamplew to go with Blain and Balsinger.  2 decent players and 2 who seem like they may be the weaker ones.

jake is batshit

Played with Balsinger deep in the $1500 you went deep in; nice bloke however can't offer any insights as be spewed in epic style in three hands on the bubble.

Good luck

Lost Vamplew

Jake hasn't done much in 2 levels. Think he's opened once and cold 4/folded to me once

Just 5b jammed right into KK. We now have around 230k

Go on son x

aa:

Sick day so far dude keep it up.

Shortie opens I 3b 99. He peels with 14bb behind. Flop 277. He checks I bet 5 into 12/13. He jams 15/16ko think. He has 57. But a 9 turn.

290k

Ooohhhhhhh

GL Bud.

fkinhellson

save some rungood for day 5 pls!

Love it love love it....so it for the good guys Ryan. Gl gl

Glglgl!

Wow, great stuff Ryan.  Keep it up.

Good news keep going Ryan

Lost a flip and a few small pots. Bricked a tonne of equity too in one semi big pot! 215k going back to 1/2

Flip was weird as Im SB at 8/1.6.  BB has just tilt left the table. Dermont Blain opens CO out of 40k so 25bb. I had A9 and just put him in. Think it was fine.  He has 88 and held

WAL

So far so good, KUTGW

Go Ry, Ry :)

Last level of the day. Got 285 or so. Blinds now 1.2/2.4

Only just realised I have Dani Stern. To counter this I also have Victor Ramdin

Victor is exceptionally solid and logical. have fun rofl

Shortie goes all in for 17bb CO.  we find AA in the BB. Don't hold v 55. It's ok still 245k. Was a 90k pot tho :(

Are you in the money yet ?

Made day 3 of EPT Barcelona with 266k. Returning at 1.5/3k. Around 240 left 180 paid.

A tremendous day for you Ryan, very well done.

good luck tomorrow Ryan, great performance so far

Gl today, keep crushing.

Few tough spots. There's a Spanish guy on there who I played with on day 1 who seemed pretty bad.  Got position on the table CL which is good.  Could have been better but also worse too!

The guy chipped up massive last couple levels yesterday on the secondary feature table.
Take him to the streets
Good luck buddy

Lost a small one getting runner runners

Won a medium one v the guy Nathan gave some info on

300k

Board says 209 left 183 paid

Couple of nice pots to go to 380

199 left

GoGoGo

Having fun with my friend in seat 9.  3b him 3 times now. Both times he's peeled and called flop/turn and folded river.

3b A5cc get 4b so I'm like here's a 5 sir and a snap fold.

415

Boss it mate and enjoy

GLGLGL.

Niall Farrell just moved to the table. Covers and position too

Hand for hand

455k

Met there's a 5k dead stack out there so pure bubble shouldn't last too long. Cheers

Thanks for the running updates RyRy

Keep it going, glgl mate

How did I miss this? glglglglgl

gogogogooogogogoogo

In the €€€ at EPT Barcelona. Got 450k going into 2.5/5k.  8.5k€ min cash locked

Great stuff Ryan. 

Think there is a typo on page 1, I seem to have misspelt Rest.

Nice work Ryan.

Now concentrate.

Well done. Glglgl

Congrats man.

DO IT!

Take.
It.
DOWN!

Got in AK v 2 shorties.  KT and JJ. Didn't improve. Was still a 180k pot tho. About 360

Karma?

Saw this on Ryan's Twitter Feed, from this morning, .....


Cheers for all the good luck messages. On the way here I found 50€ on the floor with no one around. First reply with a charity name gets it!

(Charities claimed & accepted were €25 each to Cancer Research & Prostate Cancer Research).

karma ftw, glgl

& can't you slip hartigan $5 & get on the feature table?

Nothing much has happened since that AK hand.

330k going into 3/6. Still tonnes of room!

Going on the TV stream table.  Will be on eptlive in about 80 min

Tbh would rather not! But all part of the fun

But u did so well last time u were on tv...

Oioi!

He looks so much better than he does in photographs  ;whistle;

Can get stream, how's he doing?

Stream count just said 300,000 50bb

Watching for a bit, good luck sir just keep it simple

300k going into 4/8.

Main reason why I didn't wanna be on the TV table is cos people play so slow and there is one guy who is loving it

Lost a 160k flip w 66 v K9 QxxTJ runout.

Feel good tho need to stop being so dead!

Not everyone gets the chance to be on telly 5 times a week, like you :) glglgl

Insane second hand

Seat 6 opens and seat 3 BB peels

Flop JT7ddh.  25k/53k/80k/250k/all in and currently tanking!

He folded!

Had nothing for an orbit then found AJcc in the CO

BB peels and check calls my cbet on a KQ5r flop 4 turn ck ck 3 river which he leads on

215k.

Jammed over a BTN open from SB

Then next orbit folded to me in the SB and I find AJhh. Take the blinds down.

240

71 left

Only managed to maintain.

230k.  With it being 6/12/2ka now really crucial level.  90 mins to find the spot!

Feel happy with my table too.

65 left I think

Off into a meeting...I hope afore mentioned spot has been found by the time I have finished...glgl mate

gl Scotty.

Did they find out what happened to the no show bubble guy?

Just bust! 60th place :( oh well was fun.  ATcc v JJ.  235xxc6x2c board

Well done Ryan, another good run. 

UL Ryan great effort though bud

Well Done mate

Jam was standard.  I'd only been at the table for a few hands but even when he snapped I was fairly happy.  He woulda def snapped with worse than AT.

14960€.  I got it paid into stars which they said might take a few days. 

I assume with WCOOP coming up there will be some of you wanting it n there anyway.

Just looking for the first flight out of here!

Nothing much to say on last day really.  That was my only spot in 2 hours of play and was happy to get it in.

Look out for an UKIPT EPT London package in a couple of weeks :)

Reserve the same % for me please Ryan!

Very well done.

Nice one Ryan wp
