ANYBODY UP FOR A LIVE BLONDE TOURNY?

[NoflopsHomer]

Heheh, we could take the percentages of what people want... 14/43*50 + 18/43*100 + 10/43*30 = A roughly £65 freezeout. 

[tikay]

I think 2 different ideas are getting confused here. A blonde get-together, with some poker thrown in, & an out & out blonde Tournament. What is THIS one intended to be?

The first is a goer. I am not sure about the second.

I have voted for a £30 Freezeout, & I could be persuaded to support a £50 freezeout. There are many folks who just can't run to £100 or more - don't forget, they have travelling exs and hotel costs on top, too.

blonde Tourneys are more about bragging rights & the craic than money. There has not been a great deal of support for the lower level buy-ins, though Adam has, characteristically, stood his corner stubbornly. But for every Adam, happy to acknowldge he has to balance his books & priorities with great care, there are a dozen who are in the same boat, but don't feel able to admit it. It's not macho to say "I can't afford it", men being men......

I am sure that blonde could chip in some money, either to subsidise the hotel costs, or add to the tourney. And we couild get our corporate Partners to assist in that respect.

If it's just about money, well, there are tourneys anywhere & everywhere available to play. If it's to be a B & M version of an online blonde Tourney, let's keep the cost down & give everyone a chance. I bet 90% of the blondeites can't afford a £100 comp, or would be "playing scared" at that level.

It just happens that, losing £100 in a tourney does not mean a deal to me, or to El Blondie for that matter. But outplaying other guys DOES. Whether it be £30 or £300, the satisfaction is the same.

I'd like to think that those able to afford more could manage to drop down a level just for one evening, & blend in with the majority who, in my opinion, simply can't afford a £100 Tourney. In any event, there is nothing to stop some of the better-heeled guys having some side action afer the "feature" comp.

I wanna meet as many of the blondeites as I can. Excluding them by having the entry barrier too high is self-defeating, in my view.

The funny thing is that even if this was a £1 freezout, I think folk would still play their A game due to the bragging rights on offer.

[Ironside]

how about a low level freezeout £30 or so on the sunday of a festival (if the casino hasnt got any other plans) the big name blondites will be there hoping to be playing final table of the main event and the rest of can railbird and play a small buy in comp those of us traveling a long distance can play the main event to make in finaically worthwhile.

the £30 freezeout would have to be blonde only event and names given before we got there

Well, why not have a blonde Christmas Party or something?

I said ages ago I would play a £3 online blonde tournament... which is obviously for fun.

But, for a live tournament, with all the costs involved in getting there, staying in a hotel and food and drinks The Blonde Championship if you like, should be for an amount which means something.

If it was 3 months away, surely anyone who wanted to play could either save a tenner a week or play a super to win a seat.

And if you had perhaps a £10 super on the day, then those who didn't win a seat could still hang around and railbird.

But, when all is said and done, I would go with the majority view what ever that was.

[Robert HM]

I'm with you on that Keith, a lot of poker is about escalating your winnings from comp to comp. However you method also always all to enter and get involved.

I think I will start money raising now in time for the big day! Nip you for a tenner Mate? 

[tikay]

Well we are thinking of a blonde Crimble party Camel, but we were hoping you would not find out. I mean, we have the cost of the buffet to consider.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

[Ironside]

the thinking was that kiv redog and the_camel were not to be informed about the christmas buffet as to allow the rest of a bite or 2

[Robert HM]

I'll have their share 

[Ironside]

robert you are the doorman we will bring you out a saucer with a few saugage rolls and a mince meat pie on

[Robert HM]

I'm a growing lad!!!

I know that because the bathroom scales say so 

[The Baron]

The funny thing is that even if this was a £1 freezout, I think folk would still play their A game due to the bragging rights on offer.

PRECISELY! So why does it have to be a £100 comp?

I'll go with the majority but I've heard "It isn't about the money" several times on this thread so what's wrong with a £30 jobbie?

Let the people decide....

If it's not about the money have a social meeting without a poker tournament.

If you want to have a tournament I think it should be for something worth winning... If you are usually a £10/£20 player, then there is plenty of time to save up to play it.  The costs for plenty of players to attend from long distances make it not cost effective to travel 200 miles+ for a £30 comp.

The fun tournaments online are great. I vote for a blonde championship live with a decent prize to the winner.

[Delboy]

My vote's for the £30 FO.

My primary motivation would be to meet all of you guys, however, we know each other through a shared interest, and to meet up and watch (because of the size of the buy in), just doesn't feel right.

I say LET ALL BLONDITES PLAY! We shouldn't need to qualfiy to go to our own party IMO

cheers
