Bigger Buy-In Comps on blonde

[tikay]

If anyone fancies a $50, $100 or $200 Freezeout on blonde, let us know, & Kev'll set it up.

Just add your name to this thread, against your preferred buy-in.

1) $50

2) $100

3) $200

4) $50 Heads Up matches against me.

Please note, for 4), the maximum amount of applicants wiling to help themself to my lolly will be limited to 20.

[tikay]

I will play any or all of these, so that's 1 for each already.

As to the Heads-Up, come on Flushy, are you ready for me yet? Can you imagine an easier $50?

[Wardonkey]

I'd play the $50 quite happily and the occasional $100 or $200.

I suspect having $100s and $200s on blonde would be a waste of time. You'd probably be playing the toughest STT on the net at that price. I'd do it occasionally but not regularly.

Whilst these buy-ins are more at the level I ususally play, there is a problem.

I use Blonde as my main poker room now. Yes, I know my rake helps this place, but it's mostly because there are so many soft players on the network. When I sit at a table and look at the info boxes to see where players are from, I see Italy, France, Germany - brilliant. These guys have never read Harrington, don't read strategy threads on the internet - they're dead money. They are the main reason I play on iPoker, and it's only natural I play on the network through Blonde.

Blonde only tournaments are fun, but there's very little dead money in them. This is fine, as I'm not playing them with profit as my main goal. But I never play a $200 tournament without knowing where the value is going to come from. As Wardonkey said, they'd be the toughest tournaments on the net.

Tough? What, with me in them? Come on, be serious..........

But you are absolutely correct Donkey. It's really just a response to this.....

I mean, can Flushy really resist taking me on Heads-Up, for $50? Watched by half of blonde? Imagine the shame if I beat him......

I hope you are not suggesting the my friends the Ities, Germans & Frogs, are fish?

Now come on! There are two things I can't stand, one is racial discrimination and the other is bloody krauts.

would be quite happy to play regular $50 tourneys but i think a hundred dollar ones is a bit of a stretch on a regular. But it could be possible to set up a 10 or 20$ 10 man stt sattellite where top 2 go through.

Kev, what do you think to this proposal?

[Colchester Kev]

we have run plenty of $50 comps with $5 sats 2 or 3 to each event. we have added money to the prizepool, we have Gtd the prizepools.

The sats struggle to get 10 runners.... and the main events struggle to get past 20 runners even though we have 6 or 7 in from sats.

I could put a $50 comp on twice a day 7 days a week, I could put a$500 comp on once a day ,week, month ... the scope is limitless.

we are feeling our way and trying to come up with events and comps that the members WANT to play.

we are not a big enough cardroom to be able to offer massive G'td prizepools and hope that in time they will start making the required number of runners to cover it. Thats just fact.

Things are moving forward  and we will soon have a blonde only cash table, although initially it may be a bit steep for some people to play in, hopefully those that cant play can watch the ones that can and pick up some tips on improving their game... I hope those that do play it will expose their hole cards at times and then post on the forum their thought process in how they played the hand.

Next month we also have a league planned... This will be in partnership with another site and will carry a massive added prize. I cant confirm any details as yet because discussions and planning are not yet complete... but look out for details towards the end of this month.


I have said many times before, ITS YOUR CARD ROOM ... I will put on ANY events you want, but I need to know that it will get enough runners and will be something that gives every blondeite a chance to play in it ... whether through sats or an affordable buy in.

Remember also, if the comps that we run exclusively on blonde arent to your tastes, there are hundreds available on the network every day, If you played them through blonde you get your LOYALTY SCHEME and you are helping the forum and ensuring that we remain in a position to offer things like live updates , blonde bash's etc etc.

I will be playing these, but no need to expose my hole cards, everyone seems to know what they are......

My thought process? Pass, Call, or check, if they bet, fold quickly seems to be the way for me. Works, too. For my opponents.

I've just deposited, so need to do some spinning up. But as soon as I have enough dough in there I'd play some $50 MTT, $200 is too much for me, $100 I would consider, but not for a while.

I'm up for a $50 heads up match too, however I would first like to watch 1 or 2. So, can I go 3rd please .

[Horneris]

Id play $50, $100 often but $200 is too much of a stretch

[reenot]

I'd go for $50's so long as they are freezeouts!!

[snoopy1239]

I'd like to see one big blonde comp a month, say $200 with plenty of satellites leading up to the event.
