As a rec, just play whatever you feel like playing and within your budget.

Thanks Kev- Much appreciated.

Suits me nicely. Omaha Cash is much more my thing. But NHL tournaments are more fun for me.

Love the Bad Beat story. About half the field re entered. Saw some sick hands play out. One for 300K on day 1C all in on the turn. Straight vs. Two pair and a flush draw. More of a Omaha hand than a NLH.

Looking at the final table players somehow the winner of the above hand didn't make it into the money.

The chap who one it is a worthy winner. Good player, and played really well.

Still I'm not sure I would lay a hand down to you.... Too much value :-)

Hey ladies and gentlemen and everything in between,

Was just wondering if anyone knows anything about the poker scene in Stoke?

Usual cash games running? Level of play? Tournaments?

Thanks,

Shane

I would be happy to help with this from a finding sponsorship for the Blonde Site.

I have a few contacts from the Aspires, Grosvenor and Genting casinos who are always looking at ways to improve the number of poker players coming to there venues.

There isn't really a UK poker hub which displays local tournaments and perhaps runs promotions for those tournaments. 

I know there is a App for it... Cant remember the name. But that doesn't run promotions or able users to comment, arrange meet ups... ect, ect.

I'd be happy to donate some of my free time to this.

Powers to be- Just let me know.

 

Hey Das

I'll drop you a PM with my number.

MK Casino- Very nice poker room, tables and chairs. Dealers not the best. Tournaments are rubbish, Cash full of bad Regs so would be profitable. A couple of good players there to be fair. but u would normally find 4 marks on the cash table.

Its pretty wasted if you ask me. Could be so much more better. Needs to start by offering better tournaments.

I'm not sure a prop bet should have EV taken into account. Its supposed to just add a but more competition and fun.... Jeez armchair players these days.

I mean seriously, I don't sit there and think hmm will it be +EV to have a little side bet with the blonde community.

You should be playing to win, and making correct decisions, an additional 200 or whatever wouldn't come into my thinking when making a decision.

Is still kinda rubbish that no one replied. I’m sure lots of blondes played. Would have added some
more fun to it.

Good to see you're still about mate. Throwing in the big boy games in Barca because why not eh?

Just to add to Das's question -

Favourite Luton Player: John The Pen.

I used to really enjoy playing the Saturday 2pm £30er where he would kick off at someone to the point the floor had to come and have a word with him, bust after first break and have to sit in the corner all night while his daughter did her ladybollocks on the fruities. No idea if he's still with us because he always sounded like he was a stiff cough from snuffing it, but I always thought he was alright for a miserable old bugger.

Favourite Luton Moment:

There was some fella throwing money over the roulette on a table he had to himself. Word was he had shat off the better part of £20,000 before giving up. Probably hard to get out of at that point when it was £100 max on a number. The pit boss told him he could cool off in the restaurant and they'd bring him some food. 15 minutes later he is screaming bloody murder because they bought him a steak and chips, and he was a vegan. What a needle.

If you see Panos, tell him Harry says hello and let him know I'm in Liverpool now.

I got your PM, I'll give you a shout pal. I've got some wacky stories to tell you.

Nice to hear from you Bud. It's been way too long. I look forward to hearing your stories, I've got a few of my own. If there are any GPS stocks around Liverpool I will be sure to give you a shout if I'm in the area. Make sure you text me... I know what you are like!

I loved John the Pen, I remember we made a personal deal when we both made the final table. He had a lot going on, I knew him from outside of poker due to his nephew and I used to play YU-GI-OH as kids.

Das- If you are about, Fancy giving me a lift to Luton now I live in MK? No shoving 100BB in the first level though pre flop, I wouldn't want you hanging around for me after or getting a taxi back.

Thanks Omen. Did you manage to cash?

Maybe bring some headphones with you on Wednesday. We can swap 10% or whatever then.

I agree the location of the room isn't the best, but they players are generally really weak and I've always found headphones helps me to zone out the noise and focus on all of the interesting plays I'm witnessing. Saying that because of the style of play in Luton compared to my own, I find it really hard to make final tables there often. Its a bit like Bingo.

If you change your mind PM me your number and we can organise something.

Had a nice run last night. Won a few nice pots early on and had a top 200 stack for hours. Stack was 750K @ 4K 8K blinds. Then I lost a few pots where I semi bluffed and missed and bet the river. Not sure It was a massive mistake. Then lost a couple of 200K pots with AK/AQ vs lower pairs which hit a set. Finally I opened up with AK missed flop but C bet into a "Fun" player who called. it was a draw heavy board and the turn went check, check. River missed draws so I decided to turn my hand into a bluff trying to rep a set. Get called off with second pair no kicker.

Still a nice cash, went through a couple of small pay jumps on the way to my finish of around 3K of around 56000 Runners. Really was a fun tournament. Played more like the Sunday Storm than a Sunday Million. Would really recommend it to anyone thinking of playing it next year.

3am finish mind and I was up at 7:30 for work... Real dedication.

Think I will go and play the Deepstack special at Genting Luton next. Should be fun and good value.

Anyone going this weekend? I will probably play on Wednesday night. Drinks and a chat anyone?

Checked my bank this morning and I haven't received the £30?

Could you check and come back to me?

Thanks

I’ve decided to play a bit of a schedule tomorrow. Like many over the world Sunday is online poker day. Now I’m back working a project I’ll be fully engrossed in that for the next 6 months.

A weekly schedule of the following will have me looking forward to it each week/fortnight.

215 Sunday MILLY
11 storm
Big 11
22 SPK
Big 22
22 spk turbo
Big 55
Hot 11

Not sure if they have a Sunday 8 game if so I’ll play that.

Am I missing any of the good ones?

If anyone wants some action, I’ll open up a percentage. Not sure what that would be. But a max of 40%

I am no super horse just someone with a bit of skill, and a love for the game. Hopefully we can have some deep runs and get a fun blonde rail going.

Hourly updates for the MILLY.

I wish I knew some more blondes that are playing? Id like to keep a tab on their progress.



 

Wondering if anyon wants to have a last longer side bet for th Sunday million take 2 this Sunday?

Nothing huge. $20 by stars transfer?

Anyone up for it?
