Blondites tourny last night

[divaflava]

Really annoyed I missed this, moved recently and no internet access in the week yet. Congrats to wonky, had no idea the standard on here was so dire   

Sounds like it used the old 500added structure - by far the best online tournie ever offered and who's shameful, shameful scrapping should haunt crypto to the end of their days    Anyway, nice to see it can be brought back for special events 

Which brings me to my reason for posting - someone suggested holding a similar tournie fortnightly - I think that's too often and a monthly game would be better. [and be more suited to encouraging the sponsors and top players to repeat their generosity in donating their resources and time etc.].

Oh and is phil_and the disrespectful so and so that cracked my aces with 56o last night?

[AdamM]

Yes that was Phil at my home game last night. He's quite capable of playing any two cards and your aces are never safe when he's there. If it's any consilation, last time he played at mine he lost twice HU, once getting JJ beat by 55 and once getting AA beat by KQ so he knows the feeling himself.

Divaflava - at what intervals will we hold blonde tourneys?

You appear to think along the same lines us us here at blonde. Too often will kill it, lose the novelty, so we are cuurently deciding betwen fortnightly or monthly.

id say monthly tikay, i think your right too often will spoil the novelty

but....at the end of the day, your the boss and you decide!

sunday

[tikay]

I wish......

[Sunday8pm]

hehe, me thinks its poll time.......

[tikay]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo.......

Last time we ran a poll on this, folks were running around in all directions organising comps off their own back before the poll had even closed, & ignoring the wishes of the majority. Chaos ensued, & the usually harmonious Forum was torn apart by all sorts of argy bargy.

Never again PUR-LEASE.....

[Karabiner]

I'd agree with monthly fwiw.

[RED-DOG]

My opinion, once a month

[The Truth]

Monthly please.

[Splash]

I'd say monthly but havin said that i'd play when ever! 

[TheJagster]

Monthly sounds good to me. Dont think my blood pressure will take being called a numpty more often than that!  

[tikay]

Well that sounds like we are thinking along the right lines.

Fortnightly it is then.......

But seriously, yes, monthly seems more & more the way to go. Other sites have tried these sorts of things, & suffered falling numbers every month. We have to learn from that. It' not that we want huge nurmbers, in fact, we don't, it would lose the intimacy, but steady growth would be the target a nice, gently rising graph. Then we all continue, pretty much, to know each other.

A side issue of the blonde thing is how much it enhances a trip to a comp, to bump into fellow blondeites adds to the pleasure enormously. Well it does for me, anyway.

Unless you bump into a fellow blondite who is holding AA and you raise with A10

Absolutely. I wouldn't have been at Walsall if it wasn't for blondepoker and delaying the journey South to return the card room was purely because of you lot.
