ANYBODY UP FOR A LIVE BLONDE TOURNY?

[matt674]

Just to add my two cents - i'd be up for a blonde tourney, i voted for the £100 freezeout but can also understand the concerns of others who may think that this is too expensive. I'm sure that over the next week or so an arrangement will be made to suit as many of us as is possible.

Let me know the final outcome and i can start packing the bananas.......

Dan the point you make about "taking stupid risks" well do you think that all the £100+ players wont take those in a £30 comp? I think that £0 will provide the "fairest" game and give us the true blonde champion!

i do, yes that is why i think £50 is a happy medium it allows small stake players to play and it gives people with a big bankroll a decent enough prize pool to make it worth their while.

people say they cant afford £50 but like previous people have said if you saved a bit each week it is not a unreasonable target.

I actually like the idea of a freeroll, yet still play for a reasonable cash prize OR if it was in January, I have a festival in February, so I maybe able to give a few seats away i.e. £1000 seat for 1st, £500 seat for second, £300 seat for 3 £100 seat for 4th. Then the big boys will come even for a freeroll. I will run this past my superiors (THIS IS ONLY A SUGGESTION SO DONT TAKE IT LITERALLY ) I may get laughed at, but they are pretty reasonble guys!

personally i dont think something like this would work, i wouldnt think that too many people are going to travel a long way to play in a tourney where say only the top 3-4% would win anything. I dont play cash games or STT's only MTT's and therefore the only tourney i would play in is the blonde tourney. I wouldnt be able to play any festival events as most are now 2 day events during the week and i wouldnt be able to get time off work and so i wouldnt want to enter a tourney where the only prizes were seats for tourneys i couldnt play.

AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WANT A SOCIAL GATHERING, PLAY A BIT OF A POKER AND MAYBE GET A BONUS, THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL IDEA THE PRICING WAS SO YOU COULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY THE BIG BOYS (WHO ARE MAINLY COMMITTED TO RANKING TOURNIES AND THE LIKE) THE MINNOWS AS ADAM PUT IT WANT TO PLAY THESE GUYS. WHATEVER TOURNY IS PLAYED IT WONT SUIT EVERYONE. (JUST AS ONLINE SITES ARE PREFERRED BY SOME AND LOATHED BY OTHERS). CAN'T SEE WHERE WE COULD GO WRONG WITH A FREEROLL. IF AND I SAY IF I COULD GET THE ABOVE ADDED THAT FREEROLL MAY TURN INTO £30000 + WHICH BTW WILL BE PLAYED OVER A WEEKEND. SURELY THATS GOOD VALUE!

IT ALSO IS NOT A SATELLITE THEREORE YOU COULD SELL YOUR SEAT.

dik9 it was/is a great idea.

Don't you just love the "negotiations"

Don't shout, it's too early  

Who started this anyway  

[TightEnd]

Anyone remember the TV programme Ever Decreasing circles?

Harmless family viewing on a Monday night if I remember.

[Robert HM]

Ahh Penelope Wilton fragrant 

[dik9]

This is more like bashing your head on a brick wall! than a decreasing circle.

I quite liked Wendy Craig in Butterflies too. Mind you, I was only about 12 at the time.
