blonde poker forum

Just a quick note from Foxwoods - The place is Huge! I'd guess about the size of the biggest three in Vegas, certainly in terms of slots!

There isn't a massive amount of internet access around, but I'll try and pop on and give a brief update of any people I reognise.

Good luck boys.  :)up

Biggest casino in the world.....

Rooky, please wish Ian gl from me. Thanks.

Good luck  :)up

We managed to get rouND a train cancellation and missing a connection to get here okay! It was a long day - setting off from Leeds at lunchtime and driving through the night overhere at about 10am english time on wednesday. We didnt have a room for tuesday night and so played a few hours of poker yesterday to pass the time until a room was ready.

A few hours sleep in the afternoon, then braved the snow to return the rental car in a town down the road, then back to the poker room - which, like everything else here, is huge.

The big comp starts in just under an hour.... should be around 350 runners I think.....

Currently pinching some wi-fi!!

Good luck!

Well as soon as the updating started it has finished!!







Not because he's out, i just can't watch chips being thrown about without knowing whats going on! Raises and re raises on the 5th or 6th hand... and a push from the guy at the other end of the table for about 15000 chips on the river! Bradley called with what he said was the third nuts straight - the other guy had two pair - he now has 40000 and as he says 'more gamblign chips'!!

Ed Giddins is here too and playing, do.t think he's been up to much yet but is in good form.

I'm off to occupy myself with some 2-4 limit or something! I'm a worse watcher than player, thou i'm making sure i'm back regularly to get him away.

Using his lappy so wrong log in there! :blonde:

By the way it was with 5 4 off... I can pretend to understand how the hand unfolded!

Give him a big Ayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar! from all of us.

wish him all the best from me....and tell him to keep his bluffs to a minimum! its a marathon not sprint!!
GO ON MY SON!!!

Bradley has 38000, and has had his chips all (well most of them) in the middle again in a chopped pot - putting another guy all in.

Ed has about 15000.

Bradley with 'about 32k'

Ed down to 12k.... but not exactly challanged by the blinds!!!

good luck boys.

hope you get a good cash

Go Get Em Ian.

Wish him all the best from me Rooky.

Good work.

We've just got back from the dinner break with Ed Giggins and his mate...

Bradley has around 65k
Ed was in need of a double through, down to a few thousand - second hand back he found kings, only to run into aces...

My pep talk with bradley was that there was no difference between 65 and 80k at this stage - the average is still less than 30. Suggested he slowed it down a little - second hand smooth call a button raise from the bb - check raises the guy all in on the flop with bottom pair... I know nothing!

All is going well, around 300 left and 3 days left!

Hi rooky, wish him luck for me please! and tell him to slow down!!!

Also tell Ed to drag his ass to the Rendevouz next week

Will do, he doesn't listen to me but think the world series episode will be worth its $10000.....

Ed dissapeared straight after.... Unlucky really doesnt cover it.

Daniel Neugraneuuuuaueu is out, apparently doing a really big stack in...


Think i'm off to the saftey of the 2-4 limit poker for the next level!

Edit: he's got around 80k... passed an AK spades to a kings re raise...

A tough end to the day... ten mins left - hanging in.....

no battery and little connection... tommorrow is another day!

good going Ian, keep it up fella.

The start of the second day... work to be done. 21k and first hand will be in the sb.

40 mins to go.

hi all ian here....

Was up to around 80k and had an awful last 2 levels, having flopped 10JQKA vs the local loon on the table he proceeded to make a flush having flopped 910JQK

We were the 2 chip leaders on the table!

Then a SB vs BB battle were his pocket 2's held up vs my AJ(he had been allin the last 3 SB's into my BB)

So battled away, and i'm ready for this morning! 21k blinds 800/1600 with a 200 ante. i'm in SB so not too long to wait but i am best shortstack player in america at the mo!

can't wait till i get chips to splash about!

Hope were updating allday!

Cheers

Ian

A busy first level..... all in on the first hand playing abck to the tournament chip leader with a sb AK... CL passes...

The table got broken not too long after.

He went over the top of the guy to his right twice, having kings the second time, but with no call...

Then,

He does it again for the third time to the same guy....
The guy says 'i gotta call' or at least ian and the rest of the table think thats what he says - execpt the dealer and the guy who said it says he said, 'i gotta get a count'... Ian turned his QJ over as soon as he heard the guy say i gotta call - the guy then mucked his hand after seeing the QJ, claiming A2.

He then trotted off to get a ruling - initailly ian is told a five minute penalty, then given a clock with ten minutes on it! Protesting did nothing and a full round was missed - still with around 35k at the moment 120 left

Two minutes of level two left... Just had a table redraw with 90 of the 430 left, and Ian's on the same table as John Juanda... It looks like ian has about 25k - the next level is 1200 2400 with 300 ante - Its make or break time - been saving the luck for this.....

 Ians brother here....hopefully he ll keep it up!! good luck Ian i ll give chris a text keep us updated G

Gooooooooooo Ian

ok sorry for the delay!

Went out with 80ish left... never had my big hands paid! eventually allin with k9 vs 88 and never hit, i played well and would've had every chance if i won that hand.

Victor ramdin is 2nd in chips and guy called spiro is chip leader? Victor was the guy who i kept reraising, and called for the penalty, just talked to him and wished him luck and he hoped there was no hard feelings...

Full update when i get back, having a good time!

Andy phone aint working so can't text etc.

Victor is chipleader with 13 left...I think Spiro is a good PokerStars player "55lucky55"
