blonde poker forum

The paid entry competition will have exactly the same rules as the free competition.

To enter the paid entry competition you must submit a team for the free competition on that thread. This team will then count for both competitions.

The rules for the free competition are here:
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=65439.0

There will be two pools for this competition; one of £10 and one of £40. If you enter the £40 pool you must also enter the £10 pool.  All entry fees are payable to me.
I will send bank details to everyone who has expressed an interest in the paid competition.
Entry fees must reach me by 7pm Wednesday 27th May. No late entries will be accepted.

I will maintain a list on this thread of everyone who has entered and will provide updates as the competition progresses.


The prize structure will depend on the number of entries in the competition:

1-10 entrants
1st 100%

11-20 entrants
1st 75%
2nd 25%

21-30 entrants
1st  60%
2nd 30%
3rd 10%

>30 entrants

Thanks again for doing this mate

You're very welcome.

Have fun everyone.

Is there a spreadsheet btw?

I'm preparing it now Barry.

Link to follow shortly once I've tikay has finished setting it up.

Ms. Ivanovic is currently on Eurosport 1 so it is slowing tikay's progress.

:D

The link to the spreadsheet with the entered teams (and associated blurb) is included in this post:

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=65439.msg2051846#msg2051846

Bugger. Remembered to enter a team then forgot to send the cash :(

Side bets? :)

I don't know what Vince thinks, but seeing as you've entered a team and the open events haven't started yet, I wouldn't have a problem with you sending the cash now.

+1

IMO as long as the final table hasnt formed in the 5k event, I dont see any advantage.

If there's sufficient support, I'm happy to add him.
If  there's anyone against, I'll take that as the main consideration.

It will need to be sorted by start of play this evening.

No objections here, M'Lord, it just means I win more.

More the merrier

I would like to object to Tikay having no objection. I will also overrule my non objection, which will null and void Tikay's entry to this comp......maybe.


Looking forward to following this nearly as much as Jeeves's diary. Anyone know how many events he will be 'allowed' to play this year? 

no problem here

Cheers gents - money in to boost the pools. Assume you saw my bunch of no hopers? :)

Once we saw those, we were VERY happy to agree.

Mere please can I have your name on FTP?

I forgot to send...

MereNovice.

£50 received with thanks.

Good luck.

I have allowed a couple of late entries due to popular demand.
The teams were picked before the deadline, it is just the payment that is late.
There will be no more entries since I feel that we are getting near the stage where it may confer an unfair advantage.
If there any further requests I will display the obduracy for which I am renowned.

Not sure. Like all Brits I'll run it past Sam Grafton in front of the cameras and then decline a deal.

Ooops, sorry.

Hellmuth winning event #18 has changed things.

Razz has helped me massively

Sadly for you, event #18 was the last exclusively Razz event. However there will still be Horse and Dealer's Choice events for you to show your Razz (selection) skills. :)

Thankfully I don't have to show my own razz skills :D

(Just) less than half-way through.
Plenty of time to make your move!

One Drop and Players Championship will probably decide it for whoever wins.

7 selected players cashed in One Drop and 5 in the Players' Championship last year with some big names among them so you may well be right.

Honeybadger and I battling it out at the bottom, feels like a relegation battle :)


BTW what does *** against my name signify ?

Regards


Steve

I'm trying to think of something positive to say. :)

The "***" just indicates that you are only in the £10 pool.
I thought that it would be overkill to list two separate tables for the £10 and £40 pools.

Cup half full, only contributing a ten spot :)  Honeybadger !!  :)

Just the main event to come.
Remember that there are 5 points for every player that makes the money in the main event (and 10 for making the final table) so we can expect there to be lots of changes still to come.

Here is the final table:
