ANYBODY UP FOR A LIVE BLONDE TOURNY?

[AdamM]

 But you can spend £100 on a night out nowadays.

only if I want the family to starve

i agree with the £100 freezeout or a double chance

i understand what adam is saying about £100 being a lot. but a £30 freeze out is just not worth while it would be a little out lay for such a big weekend and you would have nowt to show for it unless you get top 3

at the end of the day if we were looking at 7th of jan its over 15 weeks away and iam sure there is time to save up 4 it

yes it is a social event but making it £30 would not attract the numbers from far away

if cost is a prob there can always be a £25 freeze out sat earlier in the day and if you dont make it you can hang about to rail bird us all on

adam we will let you sell some shirts then you can claim tax back on it

[AdamM]

only 3 people can get top 3. everyone else is likely to be making a loss. some people can bare less of a loss than others. I would obviously be doing my best to win but £100 is more than I could afford to lose.

I would hope I could bring some shirts but that wont pay for my poker

one in ten will make a profit, Is that not the idea of the game? Thats poker. As was stated earlier it is 12 weeks away, surely for an EVENT an effort could be made for a social gathering of Blonde. I can understand the expense for any old tourny, but hopefully this would be something special where you can play the pro s for a relatively cheap price and test your game.

Dik,

Like the idea I have voted for the £30 option but I do understand the view of other players with regards to value etc.  I fear £100 will be beyond me but if sats are offered I will be trying.  The thought of puting some names to faces on here does offer a big incentive.  And the £30 or £50 option would offer somebody like me value, but basic home money management makes the £100 a stretch.

The proposed date does bother me - are allot of the membes not going on the Ladbrokes Cruise I believe its the same date.  If not I hope you get this off the ground and I hope I get an oppertunity to meet you all soon.

Should you be playing poker if spending £100 means your family will starve?

[M3boy]

Hi all.

This is a grand idea.

However, creating a comp that caters for such a broad range of members is a unavoidable nightmare.

But... where there's a will there's a way.

Personally, I think we should make it a double chance freezout. Not only does this stop people being busted first hand, but it also means that if people can't afford the rebuy, they can just play it as a freezout. True, it does mean that the deeper pockets have a better chance, but this didn't stop many playing the Notts event as a freezout. Also, as people keep saying, it's not really about the money as such, so would it really matter if the deeper pockets had that slight advantage over the rest?

We have a cradroom manager in dik, we have a casino with bar, restaurant, tables, etc in the Broadway. To not hold it at this place with this available to us would be a missed opportunity. Plus, it's a fantastic casino and possibly the best in England.

It has to be a weekend so the maximum amount of Blondites can play. And it will have to start early as most double chance freezouts are two day events. We wouldn't want to have to sacrifice the clocks and blind structure to fit it all in.

Anyhows, great idea and I'm up for it whatever happens.

snoopy, a double chance freezeout is a freezeout so why would somebody with deeper pockets have a slight advantage??

I think he meant a £50 max 1 rebuy....
