blonde poker forum

Hello good folk of Blonde.

As many of you know I lost my Dad to one of the cancers that are supported by the charity MOVEMBER and it is I suppose one of the reasons subconciously that in 4 out of the last 5 years I have taken part in Movember and dedicated my top lip to raising some money to the cause and last year I ran a raffle for the lucky winner to come with me to Wembley and see England vs Chile with the fantastic Ed Gascoigne joining me.

This year due to time constraints and work I have not been able to devote the time to rounding up troops to donate to the cause so have come up with this way of enabling me to guarantee some money for the Charity and also give Blondes the chance of a bink at the same time.

So the plan is....
I plan to play the GPS in Sheffield in December with a buy in of £800 + £80 and will be firing one bullet.

I would like to sell in shares of 1% or a maximum of 2.5% at £17.60 for 1% and £44 for 2.5% upto 22.5%**  please note this is about a small shot and helping a good cause as opposed to a traditional staking thread, although I do expect first prize to be over £60k so it could turn into a nice bink.   If any of the staking police/ good mathematicians are reading I am aware that this is effectively me selling at a mark up of 2.0 and I realise that I am not that good so here is what we will do....

The £17.60 or £44 will be donated to my Movember page here https://www.movember.com/uk/donate/payment/member_id/1433244/ (https://www.movember.com/uk/donate/payment/member_id/1433244/)

Once you have confirmed you have paid on the movember site (please use your Blonde Username as a reference)  and been booked by me itt it will mean you are paying the mark up direct to the charity and I am matching the donation so if it sells out it means a nice donation of £396 towards Movember but also gives the more generous amonst you the ability to pay more than £17.60 for 1% should you wish to.  Please remember it is a donation so for those that pay taxes out there please tick the gift aid box  :P

In addition to this for every % that I sell I will give an equivalent % of any prize monies won back to the charity through my own page and will post screen shots itt therefore keeping it completely transparent. (In before any 22.5% of naff all is naff all comments) This also means I will be playing for 55% of myself which will make it a meaningfull % of myself to play for and those that know me will I am sure vouch for the fact I will take this completely seriously.

If you do want the serious side then my Herbert is here http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=165320 (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=165320) and since I have stopped any form of sports/horse betting after some hypnotherapy I have actually had a couple of decent results in big runner live fields with the last five tournies played resulting in 3 cashes and  33rd/290 with 28 paid in Edinburgh this weekend losing KK v 1010 in a ££ defining pot and finishing just outside the top 200 with 170 paid at UKIPT London being the only non recent cashes.

I cannot guarantee that this MO (taken today) will still be on the lip in Sheffield in December but I may have a Decembeard!!

However I lost a prop bet with Cossington Paperless a couple of years ago over an amount of ££ I would raise in my first Movember attempt so do owe him a tournament in fancy dress and will play the whole main event in some form of fancy dress and as I am selling at an excessively high markup any of the side events I play in sheffield which is most likely the £75 and possibly the £150 dependant upon main all backers will have their same % rolled over as a gesture from me.

Please feel free to flame away or ask any questions itt and thank you for reading but remember to not send any money to me do it via the MOVEMBER page and I will sort the buyin direct

I have literally no idea what is going on, but as I am "fantastic", I am of course in.

Whoever said 'flattery gets you nowhere' was, frankly, FoS.

Absolutely clueless as to what is happening here.

Where's the raffle?!

In for 2.5% will happily drop this/raise this depending on demand.

I'll punt 1% in you keso ral. :) good luck!

£110 Big Game Turbo Saturday  30k gtd if not made it from above Day1

38.3k from 30ss at end of second break.

Going back 2/4/50

Good luck today.

i do hope that some of this 'mark up' has not gone towards a nandos for Eso!
GL Eso, bring home the trophy!

Cheers fellas.
43.3k 10mins after dinner with blinds 3/6/75

Did you have a nandos?

No partner..

Busto at end of level 4/800/100

Tightish villain opens utg2 to 1800 and Wadey calls from the Btn we peel JQhh from small and 36k and bb calls flop 4910hh which both myself and bb check with o/r betting 3100, Wadey makes it 6300 and I 4b the flop to 11200 and only Wadey called.

Bet 3/4 pot all in on the 6s turn and didn't get there when called by JJ.

Have sent a PM to all backers

Table 2/5 with Jack Elwood, Richard Horton, Rob Boon, Rayfish and Mark Lane and am pretty sure it will be feature table in about 2 hours and 50mins as its a late start today...

29.3k at first break

44425 at second break

Just had dinner and am back to just under starting at 3/600/75 on a table that keeps getting worse with recent additions of Leo and Trigg :(

22k going back to last 2 levels at 5/1000/100

Got back up to starting stack twice in the last 2 levels before losing an annoying pot vs Jack in the penultimate hand of the day so bagged up 14400 which is 9bbs for a day 2 spin hopefully........

Dbld up 4hands in when Wadey opens utg1 to 3300 we ship 13k in the co with 77 and Ben Martin flats behind which Wadey then folds and we hold vs AQ so now have 34k

Peak of tournie at 45k 20mins into day winning a small pot vs Ben Vinson when he opens to 3500 and SB calls with us peeling J9 for 1bb and KJ7 flop checks round to see a J turn which cks to Ben and he bets 5700 we flat and check the 5h river but he checks back telling me I got the maximum.

Found AA vs an utg1 open from a loose Chinese young guy and flatted with Wadey peeling the big and saw a Q83rb flop which Wadey ckd, kid leads 4500 I 3b flop to 11k intending to gii vs him ott and Wadey ships which I obv call but get lucky vs Q3 on the 8 river and then next hand find KK utg1 and open to 3.5 getting 2 callers plus the sb and on 62Jrb flop I check and MP bets 1/2 pot which is called behind and I peel which brings a Qs and a spade draw that Chks around to see a 7h river which I bet 15k and get looked up by the flop bettor so now have 140k with the blinds just gone 1/2000/200 which is a over avg of 107k for the first time in 7hours......

164k now after defending JdQh vs MP open and flop J74hhh opener bets 6k flop, 12k on the 7 turn and checks back the 3h river declaring trip 7s

120k with 20mins of 1/2/200 left 61left and avg 125k

136k at first break today avg 125k

188k 30mins into 12/2400/300  53 left avg 144k

Nice gl mate

Cheers bud.

Have a pretty redic table as with 49 players left on 6 tables and 7.65million chips in play there are 2.3million on our table

184k with 30mins of 15/3000/400 left

Good Luck Mr AK  :)up

Cheers Dewi, great thread btw ;)

153k at second break of day going back to 2/4000/500 with avg 174k

On feature table in 30mins if any wants a sweat

121.5k with 15mins till dinner and blinds 2.5/5k

32 left. 27 paid

Nice spin Rich. Good luck.

Cheers pal. 107.5k at dinner going back to 3/6/1000 still 31 left

30left and 20bbs at 3/6k

With 29 left and 27 paid Kev Allen ships 80k and I find JJ in the SB and call off with us flipping vs AKdd which catches otr to leave us 24k at 3/6 and immediately a player busts the next table so we're on the pure bubble.

I'm sat happy in the knowledge that I have 10k more than the start of the day and first hand of the bubble Dom Mahoney opens and I ship AQ but he hasn't realised I am so short (in before) and everyone gathers round after he declares he was absolutely at it and shows 57ss.

Door card As followed by 58 with one spade and we hold on turn and river so now have 62k on the bubble

Fingers crossed for a justice cash.......

Itm!!!

82k and in the bb for the last hand of 3/6kk

Spin time again please...

Busto in 23rd for £1630 after jamming A8 bvb and the bb calls off Q5 flop was a rather disappointing 55A brick brick

Thanks for the investment guys and if u could please PM me bank deets and I will ship back to you Mon/Tues
