Future Blondepoker events

[henrik777]

The tournament didn't replace anything so i find it difficult to see why some are seemingly very upset.

Sure it wasn't perfect but it has put lots of money in blondites pockets that wasn't there before and most of it didn't come from the blondites themselves.

I enjoyed it.  Didnt win any cash but I played probably the best all round poker Ive played so far and lasted about 3 hours with no rebuys and was bloody lucky to go out when I did (imho )

Free tourneys are free tourneys in my book.  Sure it would be nice to play against forum member but we can have other events for that.

Well, so far Tony it seems that people consider these events to be good for Blondepoker.

I agree. The financial rewards will help to develop Blondepoker into a force to be reckoned with whilst also giving Tikay enough money to get his roots done.   

I look forward to the next comp.

Jeez guys, give us a break. How unlucky could we get. At least a 100 of the entries were genuine blondites and none of us were good enough to win it.
My thanks for the support of all the early posters such as ifm and henryk.

Sorry ElBlondie but I think you are being a bit precious.
Tonyg asked for feedback on the tourney and got it, I dont think anyone was abusive, whingy maybe but abusive ... no.

I did not play in the tourney but 2hrs and 40 mins of rebuys is a bit over the top.

I think everyone appreciates what Tonyg is trying to do but maybe this time he got it slightly wrong, we all live and learn and now he has got the feedback he asked for.

I played in this (my first blonde tourney) and I have to say it was the most enjoyable game I have ever played. People were friendly and the banter was fun which helped me to relax, i was extremely nervous and a little starstruck to be honest. I was lucky enough to make the payout and from originally thinking I would get $25 I am delighted to see that I won enough to fund my losing streak on $3 stts for the rest of the week woooohoooo. The 10pm start personally suited me great as im a bit of a night owl and only play when kids are in bed. The rebuy period did seem a little long but as this lengthened the game you will get no compaints from me  So I would like to thank all involved in setting up this game and look forward to the next one. Keep up the good work

Its just my own personal opinion:

1. I guess Tony G has become involved in Blonde Poker to help generate additional revenues to pay for the Live Tournemant Updates, improvements and maintenance of this site as well as peoples wages.

2. There are limited ways that a web site can generate these revenues (and therefore at least cover its costs). Poker Sites will pay money for new sign-ups to their sites, they see it as an advertising cost, as a % of the players that sign up from BP will end up paying rake on their sites. If new sites keep opening and new players come into the market, there will be ongoing opportunuites but there has to be a limit of the number of sites any one player will use regularly.

3. Holding tournaments for BP members where the site adds money to the prize pool is a "win win" for everyone.  BP poker players are getting +value in a freeroll, BP and the site win aswell. BP members should be over the moon with this approach, as they are still using this site for ZERO, NOTHING, FREE.

4. BP started off with about 100 of us taking the mickey out of eachother on the web but now has 15x that membership. It is too big to please everyone now. but as long as it continues to do a good job for 95% of us, that's a result. We as members are users of this site, not the owners, nor do we spend 15 hours a day working to improve the site. We just log on and expect everything to be perfect.

5. Tony G is a new face in our "community" and maybe that's why he's got a bit of stick, I bet any amount of money that if Tikay had organised this Titan tourney, there wouldn't have got as many negative posts.

6. However, personally, I think the Titan Tourney was not marketed or administrated well, I did not play in it and I use BP everyday. I think BP tourneys are a great idea, but would like to see regular structure of different tourneys accross all bankrolls.

7. I would like to see BP develop into a site where we could play online, knowing we were contributing to the running of BP by paying a % of our rake to them instead of just another site.

8. I am not sure of the ongoing viability of setting up BP comps to get new players onto different skins, I would rather see a link to 1 site where we played through a BP skin, but I don't know enough about the poker business to really give an educated view on this subject. This way we could play online contibuting rake to BP and have our own BP tournaments.

Good luck with the next one Tony.

Cheers Rob

Good post Rob, but i disagree with some of it. I think if tikay had organised it there would have been just as much talk.

[robyong]

Okay Flushy, maybe I exagerated, but would you bet me your entire poker bankroll that Tikay would have got equal or more negative posts v a new person organising it? If you would, stop gambling and get an office job.

 Hopefully see u at my home game so we can get our revenge! Nowab is after you!

Cheers Rob

[Ironside]

rob i think it was just teething troubles with the admin of the comp tikay wouldnt have gotten so much abuse as he would have bounced the ideas off his collegues before he did it and therefore no teething trouble

i am hoping that tonyg will shut everyone up with a fantastic new freeroll for all new accounts on noble

[robyong]

Agree Ironside. I wouldn't have a problem with people giving you grief about the BP comps you organise as you're on the hit list. Cheers Rob

OK a blonde (as in probably dumb) question...is this site just a news/forum or is there a blondepoker gameroom coz i cant find a download button ?? If not then why not?? I have spent the last couple of weeks reading through loads of threads and im guessing some of you guys run/work for different sites. If blonde had its own site then im sure judging on the growing popularity of the forum it would attract a substantial membership which would pay for members only tourneys and avoid the confusion over the titan tourney. Additional touneys with other sites could also concur involving  blonds/non blonds but still make the site a buck or 2...ahhhhhhhhh geez its late and i should be in bed...gonna regret this post in the morning lol

blonde doesnt have its own card room, but that isnt ruling out a card room in the future as anything is possible, but 1600 members wouldnt be enough to run a successfull cardroom you would really need 100,000 members with most of them being fish
