Just got back from a tiring few days in Luton.
A few thoughts:
-- Sorry if I ignored any blondites. I'm not very good with names and I don't know the faces of some members.
-- Well done to the Blondeites who cashed. Jen, Tikay, Malc, Camel, Lloyd, and co. - sry if I missed anyone out. I thought the field was pretty strong for a 200 event, so reaching the final out of 140 entrants was a nice achievement.
-- I loved the blind/clock structure. It's not often you find a comp like this that allows for so much play. Some were even suggesting it was too generous. Perhaps they were concerned with being too tired for the other events.
-- I predicted it would go to a deal with about 5 left. No suprise really when 1st is 10k and 2nd is 5k. That's a hell of a gap. Does 1st really do THAT much better than 2nd in comps? Anyhow, I saw some keen faces when the deal was mentioned.
Who wouldn't be eager to strike a deal when they are being offered just under 2nd prize?
-- I presonally had a gr8 time. Satisfied with my performance, learnt a lot, and thought Luton put up a well organised and very affordable comp.
-- Brief message to Tikay. (aka Grandad) I'll get my revenge soon for you knocking me out the comp and not letting me outdraw you. Very selfish.
I was looking forward to fluking the comp from that 1 chip.
L8ers all.
