Future Blondepoker events

[TonyG]

We need to know if we should do more of these type of events or just stick to the crypto style tournaments in the future, this vote is very important please make your vote.

IMO, all blonde tournaments should be exclusively for blonde forum members.

I agree with Nemesis

the Titan thing was an excellent comp, a job very well done.
There were some teething problems but it was different to what had been done previously, and these probs have been sorted out now.
It is definitely the way forward, if you must include pokernews then maybe do it as a challenge?
I do think that by insisting on blonde only we are cutting off our own noses, do our own blonde only comps and TonyG's comps, we lose nothing then do we?

Tony,

There were a few MINOR bad vibes regarding the titan freeroll.

1. No debit cards (well visa delta anyway). Not specific to the freeroll i know but it stopped me playing.

2. Some confusion over the prize money.

3. People entered who shouldn't have played.



However....

It was free.

There were loads of other ways to deposit.

The original $5k and all rebuys appear to have been paid and the other $5k i'm sure will be as well.

At the end of the day it was the first event and some mistakes were made which is acceptable in my book. Lessons will be learned i'm sure.

No point in learning lessons if you are just going to give up though.




Next time just make sure everyone knows who is invited and clearly state the terms of entry/payment etc beforehand.

There is absolutely no way that these great value comps can't run in conjunction with the other existing blonde comps.

There are people who wish the great value as well as those who just wish a mates game. There is room for both if they come as one package great but if it takes two does it really matter ?

Blonde will benefit financially from more freerolls like this one but will still continue to have the same feel from it's orginal blonde tournies.

Nobody must enter any of them if they don't want to.




The titan freeroll seemed to go down very well until the top 2 were discovered as non blondes.

I hope i can play in the next one.

Take it as part of the learning curve.

These comps are good for Blonde as they bring in the $$$

If that means that a few players from another forum are thrown into the mix, then it's worth the sacrifice. We'll still play our exclusive events. The odd mixed multi won't hurt anyone.

The problem here is that Blondites like to be in the know. They want to know where their money is going to end up before the comp starts. As long as everyone is well informed, there should be no problems.

So, as I said, you live and learn. It's in the past now, time to move on.

I enjoyed this event and I think the next one will be even better.

Darn, Henrik nipped in b4 me.

Yeah, what he said.

tony, i did not play in the titan event mainly because i left it late and couldnt deposit. from what i hear there were a few problems but nothing that doesnt seem to have been sorted. i dont think that it was bad for blondepoker i just think it could of been explained a little more clearly. i personally think it is great if you can get us events with added prize money.
i think i need to set up a netteller account though as i dont want to have to keep making deposits on a credit card and then not being able to withdraw

[pokerram]

tony the competition was a well structured event.people just got annoyed because they didnt know what or when they would be paid.I for one really appreciate what you tried to do.people have commented on the forum that people with small bankrolls shouldnt play poker but some of us fish will play over bankroll to be part of a great forum and community.i for one respect your decision whether u withdraw or carry on with blonde.I think alot of it was teething problems and a lot of payers not knowing where they stood. it will be a great loss if you do withdraw but all the best in what ever u do         pokerram

Yeah i tell you what was Wrong AA KK QQ AQ AQ all losing, all well ahead cept the KK which hit AA (but i flopped K and river was a A)
I never moan about an  RNG but I've played here a total of 3 days and lost with Quads 3 times???

Other than that the tourney was good, I think it's nicer if its forum members only as the best thing about these games is the banter. i don t really see these events as a chance to win big, i see em as a change to get together online and have some fun

I like this idea as well.  Maybe once a year, the annual TonyG Comp Invitational Battle.

I enjoyed this structure of blinds.  However, $2,500 chips is a quite a bit too much to start.  A sitter lasted almost 2 hours but at least the number of sitters was limited. 

Other than that I thought this was one of the best tournaments out there.  Major props for putting this together blondepoker!!

I agree with Mex's point, I only want to play the blonde forum tournament's for the banter, socialising and having a laugh and if i win any money, well thats just a bonus.

i am happy with blondepoker.com tournys aslong as its made clear they are not forum tourny, forum tournys should be a total different ballgame
