ANYBODY UP FOR A LIVE BLONDE TOURNY?

[Robert HM]

dik9... suggestion

You've been good enough to set the ball rolling on here, you have heard lots of varying suggestions and points of view, why not go and think about it, discuss with your bosses whether they are happy to add anything, trophy seats whatever and get back to us.

Exactly what i was gonna do after I saw "its all in hand"

Anybody gonna tell the monkey what the organ grinder says?

who is the organ grinder and what is he supposed to be telling me?

[dik9]

Sorry all keeping shtum till I know wtf is going on

I think a £50 buyin with a couple of added festival seats would please the most.

I originally voted for a £100 freeze but I do selfishly live within walking distance of the Broadway on reflection if it was to be held in London (or Glasgow) etc then I would be more aimed towards a £50 which is just enough IMO to make it interesting and still a laugh. Still looking for double chance tho

Wow ...my head is totally frazzled. Was it ESP , subconcious coincidences or just a 
Big Greek Tony had invited me to the Broadway to meet Marty Shine quite seperately to this thread. I met him and viewed the place last night for the first time. Great place great bloke. I also met Denis the Director but RICH were you there? I guess you were busy running the competition ? I wish we had said hello, I was hanging around the cash games for 20 mins or so.
Anyway we would love to go ahead and book the Broadway. I am just awaiting confirmation that we all like the first Saturday in January ?
Personally I prefer a smaller £25 or £30 double chance freezout affair. Its not really about the money.

I was there, but I think I must have been in the office discussing the thread with my GM when you came in the cardroom.
He seemed to think it was a good idea, have had no feedback as yet from Denis or Martin. Hope you enjoyed yourself there?
Spotted you in the retaurant, didn't want to disturb you.

any chance we can make it the second saturday in january (the 14th)? The Pokerstars WPT caribbean adventure runs from the 4th-11th January and plan A is to visit the Bahamas again (and i know of a few blondites who are trying to win seats for this).

it also gives those who celebrate christmas an extra week to save up!!

Ladbrokes Poker Cruise is 14-23 though.

The FACT is you are never going to please all of the people all of the time. This is especially true in this case as the range of blonde members varies from new players with small bankrolls and only played on the internet to highrollers and pro players. Make the event too cheap and some people will choose NOT to play, make it too expensive and some people WON'T be able to play. The real question is what is the purpose of such an event and for me that is to be decided by the co-owners of this site. Is it a social gathering to attract as many as possible blonde members who can meet eachother and have some fun or is it create a serious poker tournment.

I would normally vote for £100 f/o, or ask for it to be even higher taking into account costs, but I think this level eliminates a sizeable number of the forum members. Of course these people can save up, it's only a small sum each week but where is the consideration that for many it is dead money, unless they get lucky, when facing considerably more experienced players/poker pro's who hold a MAJOR advantage. I like the idea of a double f/o purely on the basis of the distance many would have to travel. Alternatively maybe a single rebuy option may be exceptable as you then have it affordable to most yet have the opportunity to stay in the game if unlucky enough to get your KK running into AA on the first few hands.

In the spirit of blonde I think the goal is to have a social gathering rather than a serious poker event. I personally would plan to break one of my golden rules and have quite a few drinks as I view this as a social event when I would normally never drink when playing a game. Some people also suggest pricing it accordingly for people to play their A-game but for different people that level varies considerably so you will never find a acceptable level. I'm sure many people, like me, would also intend to have a drink or two and have a laugh rather than staying dry and playing their A-game.

As I said at the beginning, is it an event that many can NOT play due to finances or an event some people will decide NOT to play due to lack of value???. I would personally prefer to have people decide NOT to play rather than pricing it so some people CAN NOT play. As a result I have voted for a lower level than I would normally want to play.

Please don't make this the same time as the ladbrokes poker cruise as I'm still trying to qualify.

[Robert HM]

No doubt we'll be seeing you at the blonde event then

Get the beers ready.
