Come on Blondeites, lets be having you.........

[Woodsey]

I've been a member of blonde nearly from the start. I've always enjoyed surfing here for alot of my poker info, the general banter, and of course the live updates we get are superb.

Since the Blonde poker room started, whilst the guys here have tried their best to sign people up without badgering people I only put in an initial deposit of about $200 which disappeared fairly quickly. Since then to be quite frank I couldn't be arsed transferring any more.

It occured to be last week that because I get alot of enjoyment from this site it was only fair if my Tribecca bankroll was in the Blonde poker room instead of elsewhere. So I've done it I've transferred over $1k to blonde and will start playing more there.

So come on the rest of you, I think its fair if we help out our good friends here and make sure they are taken care of, in my view it makes no difference to you if your Tribecca bankroll is on blonde or elsewhere, so get it on blonde. I bet many of you are pretty much like I was and can't be arsed, but it takes very little effort indeed.

I'm sure I'll attract the usual 'its spam' posts, but I'm only writing what I think personally, and like I said it makes no difference to you. By the way whilst I'm a regular at Notts I don't know Tikay or any of the other mods, I have shared a table with Tikay a few times and passed the odd comment across the table but don't know the guy, I just wanted to say this because I felt it was right.

So in the words of Delia.............

I agree, I've been a member here from within 2 months of opening its doors, so anything to support what is a great site and even greater community.

I did this myself last month. I played on virgin most of the time, but the STTs are better on tribeca. Actually, truth be told, switching to blonde happened more by accident. I had depositted a small amount to play the league games with. And with my last 10$ after the league finished, I managed to win an MTT for $400 and started the STTs. I've since switched to blonde, but I still play the GTD MTTs on virgin and it works out very well for me.

The bonus levels are not much different to Bsq or VC - VC do reward the heavily addicted with bigger caps on the bonuses rewarded, but for most of us we won't be reaching those heady levels and tbh if you are playing that much you are better off at stars anyway. So all tribeca players should be on blonde!

When I was asked at BB3, what site i play on, I was embarrassed to say I didn't play on BPL.

Soon as i got back I transfered my roll onto there and BPL is now my site of choice,,,,

Thank you Woodsey for putting into words my feelings  

[Jonboy]

This has probably been asked a few times ... but I can't recall coming across it ... does blonde do rakeback?

[Royal Flush]

So all tribeca players should be on blonde!

Unless you want to play a $100 freezeout at 10pm with an overlay every night. That is a big diffrence to me! I would like to split my time between blue and blonde but its quite a lot to give that comp up! Especially when i am running well in the league.

Woodsey, that's an awesome Post, thank you.

Many other blondes have also said the same - "hey, this place is free, let's put a little back".

I can't tell you how grateful I am for everyone that supports blonde via our Cardroom. The Shareholders have never seen a bean, probably never will, so I'm immensely grateful for their support. It's just wonderful that most of the blondes put support of the site above a bit of rakeback.

Thanks Woodsey, & all those who feel able to support us.

I have a large chunk of my roll on Blonde and play it quite a bit too.

[Poppet7]

I play on so many different sites because I get given free money here, there and everywhere, but now I've sorted my depositing probs out on blonde I will only deposit money there, the $5 STTs are great whenever I get the chance to play them with the other blondies!

[Acidmouse]

  agree BLONDE POWER.

At the moment I am playing on Blonde almost all the time, but I still enjoy playing on VC. I still have alot of AP on VC and have a good record there compared to other sites. I will continue to split my time between both of these two. I have another account with Blue Square as well, but the colours are difficult to see for me. That account has a secret screen name that only my dog knows and he has been bribed with a bar of dog friendly chocolate not to tell anyone what it is. So I am in agreement with others on here, Blonde is a nice site to play on 

[mikkyT]

Admittedly BSQ has the advantage of grovsenor sats..... maybe blonde can work on this

[Woodsey]

The Grosvenor sats are the only thought I had about this, and I will redeposit as necessary as I don't play them too often anyway.

This has probably been asked a few times ... but I can't recall coming across it ... does blonde do rakeback?

Not really, except for the really huge players.

The way the blonde Cardroom deal was done, we just can't afford to mix it with the big sites, & I don't wish or intend to. It's designed around the blonde Community, & we are really smallish players on the whole. For sure, you can get better rakeback almost anywhere.

But it's not a one-way street. I have pledged that the blonde Live Updates, & Forum of course, will always remain free-to-air, & these cost a fortune to run. We've done Vegas, & we will do the entire EPT Series, properly too. Jen & snoops are off to Barcelona in the morning for 5 days, followed by London, Baden, Copenhagen, Deauville & Monte Carlo, I won't see much change out of £10k for that lot. We also cover all the Majors on the Domestic Circuit.

blonde Bashes don't come cheap either, we spent well over a grand last week (excluding Staff/Labour, which was all voluntary), & with, what, 175 attendees, that's £6 a head we paid. blonde Bashes will always be free, & we hope to have a minimum of 3 per year, so that adds up.

The Home Page is a cracker now, as good as most, & that costs money too.

So, yes, we want players to play on blonde, but we ain't begging, as we think it's a two-way affair. And, if we can help it, we want to avoid being dragged into the Rakeback war. Players are fickle, & jump from site to site chasing Rake, & who can blame them?

But I'm adamant about this - blonde is a community, & the blondes come first, so offering Rake to what will be, in many cases, complete strangers, does not really fit with me.

I should add, though I can't divulge names, we have some hugely supportive blondes playing BPL regularly, for massive amounts, simply to support blonde. How good is that?

I hope that answes the question fairly, & it was a good & fair question.

is kev classed as a huge star player?
