WSOP Main Event 2006 - Day 1c - Interactive

[mikkyT]

Tikay tells it like it is, in his usual polite way.  My way would started with "don't like it?" And finished with something not very pleasant.

BTW Why won't Jen and Spoony not be able to buy a drink in any European casino? (Am I behing thick ere)

Yup, just re-read karabiners post. I hereby declare my thickness lol

I know a degree of nepotism exists on this site, and I appreciate the (1!?) updaters have a difficult job( and they're good journalists) . But this is the WSOP MAIN EVENT. tHE BIGGEST EVENT IN POKER, EVER - Call yourselves a major player on the PokerWebsite scene but this is a joke.

1 person updating (whos gone for a curry) - Don't pretend this is a good updating service. You guys should of been better prepared, thers's an awful lot of people logged on in the UK for info and we're just not getting it.

Who's playing? who's out? Chip counts? Incidents? Exit quotes? ....................................

This is the BIGGEST EVENT EVER IN POKER. We get a more informed uodate for A £300 event @ Luton.

Thank heavens for Puzzler000, so many helpful, constructive points to consider. Take note Jen and Snoopy

1: You must stop calling yourselves a major player on the PokeWebrsite scene. I can't actually find an instance where you have done this, but Mr Puzzler has over 3 posts to his credit, so he must be right.

2: This is the WSOP MAIN EVENT. tHE BIGGEST EVENT IN POKER, EVER.
No, it doesn't matter that everyone else thinks the updates are fantastic, rather than go elsewhere, Mr Puzzler has decided that he wants to use this site to keep him abreast of developments, so you now have to conform to his exacting standards.

3: Become more people. although Mr Puzzler chose to use a site with only two updaters, he doesn't like it. Perhaps we could all chip in and pay for some more updaters. Remember, Mr Puzzler doesn't have to come here, he could go to CardPlayer and complain about 20 people

4: A fairly obvious one this guys, DON'T SLEEP, DON'T EAT! (especially curry) Be better prepared. Eat and sleep a lot before you go.

5: There are a lot of people logged on in the UK. Yes I know they say the updates are fantastic, but only Mr Puzzler has the courage to tell you that they are a joke, that alone deserves some credit. I mean to say, he went to the effort of clicking his mouse and everything

6: Who's playing? who's out? Chip counts? Incidents? Exit quotes? Don't give us that old chestnut about there being 6,000 runners, limited access etc etc. A good updater would give us every bit of the information requested by Mr P on every last one of them.

7: This is the BIGGEST EVENT EVER IN POKER. We get a more informed update for A £300 event @ Luton. What Mr Puzzler is saying here is, it should be EASIER to update the biggest event ever in poker, not harder.


Come on guys, you have to do better, otherwise Mr Puzzler just might go elsewhere!

Tikay tells it like it is, in his usual polite way.  My way would started with "don't like it?" And finished with something not very pleasant.

BTW Why won't Jen and Spoony not be able to buy a drink in any European casino? (Am I behing thick ere)

Wakey wakey Mikky! Jen & snoops have got no chance of buying a drink, because the blondes will be queuing up to buy drinks for them. I may even let sloppy wear my clothes, he aches to have my street-cred..

Seconded.....

Seriously, as my very good friend Red-Dog told me this morning when I was champing at the bit, (he owns me I sometimes think), we do need  to keep it polite. The blonde way.

[mikkyT]

Yes yes tikay you may laugh, but i dont have blonde hair!!! (YET)

 

I gathered after I posted, but the shame has already been read lol

I sincerely hope you wont let him wear your newly acquired trendy & cool sweatband as supplied by Jules aka Hartwith

As an infrequent poster but constant lurker, I have to add my word of gratitude to Jen & Snoops (& Blonde).  Over the past few nights I've been channel-hopping between here and Card Player, but my visits to the American site have become less and less frequent, for the simple reason that their coverage is dull.  When I read Blonde's coverage, I get a real sense of being in the thick of the action madness; the humour, the pics, the interaction online; it's all fabulous!

Keep up the splendid work folks, but please try and eat/sleep properly!

No chance! And, whisper it quietly, but I've been thinking "bandana"......What you think?

Mr Martian - can I call you Martian? - hits the nail on the head, & obviously understands what blonde Updates are about. An evenings fun, amusement, laughs, a few quizzes, pictures, interaction (above all), a way of having an evening's fun, & keeping abreast of the blondes performance. Players Mums & Dads & family know who to ask if they want info on their beloveds.  And the blondes know that Jen has that really cranky way of writing, new words daily, while the beagle is, well, Mr Macho Man, with a subtle & zany sense of humour.

Those that want the "pure" Update, can either go to the "At A Glance", or the "serious" sites. blonde is, & will remain, poker with a smile. Thats all we ever set out to be.

I wrote to Jen & sloppy today, & asked them to give it a rest, take a break, but the pair of them are as stubborn as stubborn can be. Jen has to fly to California for a day or two on a private matter, so sloppy will be solo. I am sure the blondes will understand.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I bet Jules will be really jealous of a bandana................PS dont tell the uni-bomber it was going to be his next new fancy dress if he final tabled in the main event.

A perfect answer and long may the fun updates continue, just a shame that towards the end of the main event we wont be able to feel like we are there amongst hopefully a few blondites on the final table. Long may Blonde continue with its live updates and allow us to inject our thoughts into the updates thread.

[mikkyT]

Spoony will be solo? A superstar in my book!

PS. Tikay, I think a bandana wouldnt look too good on you, you might not be able to tie it properly. I suggest you go for a zandana. Its much like a bandana when worn, but its "ready fit" - its actually a hat that looks like a bandana. If that makes sense?

Heres an image:

For me their coverage is miles better than Card Player, I especially enjoy seeing pics of all the players out there, it gives you a better feel for what is going on out there without a doubt. Good luck to all the Brits that are left in lets get someone at that final table this year!!!
