G Casino Luton 2009 blondeite league

"Kalem ran away" goes into the hat for BOLOTY. (best one-liner of the Year).

Question for Chompy - who exactly are the much-mentioned, & nucher revered, "League Elders"?

"League Elders" = Chompy, Chimpy and Chumpy IMO.

[Drain Alien]

SirChompy - Y u delete your post?
I woz just replying RE the excellent call-down ability of Mr D-fish....

[HOLDorFOLD]

Just got home. Last two tables.


Snatty has chips, lots of them... but Edna has her eye on 'em 

[Snatiramas]

What an evening of high revelry. Started with me checking out the new home and finding too small a field to make it  profitable to rebuy in the super satellite for next weekends comp. Ship it all in with a pair of fives and find some lunatic prepared to call with kings.
Farewells made, I head for Chompyville only to find that there are no available seats. Now this would normally bother me except for the fact that I saw George Kiss coming into the car park and I JUST KNOW it is going to bother him more. Light blue touch paper and stand well back.....

For those of you who do not know George.......don't bother. He is a rude ignorant man who picks on new visitors by being constantly grumpy. He is like picking up your cup of tea and realising it is coffee. A nasty surprise indeed. I had the good fortune of sitting next to him all evening on Saturday. The more he misbehaved, the more I attacked his chips......eventually he snapped like the alligator he is trying to rubbish my dress sense. For Gods sake I was in a dinner suit........thank you George the chips will be most handy.......he says "well played. I hope you win it"......double talk for "I hate your guts. I have always hated you. Ever since you called me down with King high when you were a rooky and misread your hand". As George left on Saturday the cloud lifted from the whole table.

Well last night I went to work before we even sat down. George starts to whinge about not being allowed in because he has turned up. I say "if he is unaware of the rules he should phone up and ask to save himself the journey", you know just to be helpful. Well he goes off on one and lights up like the Thames on New Years eve. He calls me "naive", which interestingly is Evian spelt backwards. He tells me I have always been rude. He tells me to shut up. He leaves in a huff........ahead already I know it is going to be a good night.......more to follow after the school run

[Snatiramas]

So I sit down at my table. A nice mix of trusty stalwarts like MDD and Jim McBride and a few newbies. Generally a lovely table. I am in seat three. Jim to my right. To his right is a very well groomed gentleman whose face looks tremendously familiar but I just can't place it............OMG it only takes me forty five minutes before I realise it is Richard Orpeford. Poor chap is in a hell of a spot. Getting no cards and can't limp to the inevitable pump shove, limp wrist, have a go, big blind that is Jim. I could feel the frustration oozing from every pore.

Well I got chips early and never looked back. My kind of tourney in structure. Lots of action and luck needed. Made some nice moves, made one questionable call and managed to get kings to hold up against queens and jacks. Easy game. The average age of the final table was about 96 and I broke a curse when I knocked Edna out. We end up four handed and do a split. I have the chip lead but offer to play a hand to sort out final placings. At this point an anonymous Blonde pipes up and asks them all to place me 1st. Sir I salute you!!!!

Loads of blondes there, which was great but I still need to vary my environment. Did I run good because I had played somewhere else? Maybe........more than likely it was just my time of the month

Sigh, it looks like it’s all over. Circus Circus boy looked like taking it down from a long way out and sure enough he did. No other scorers. Thanks to rockstar for the result.
Whoever the anonymous blonde is that said Snatty should take the win, fess up please and take your penalty like a m(atal)an. This is NOT acceptable. There is no place for sportsmanship in the Luton Blondey League, it’s dog eat dog.

[Chompy]

I looked over at table Snat longingly, wishing I was there. Messrs Orford, McBride, Ramas, MDD. Sumptuous on all levels.
Meanwhile I had Avi D'Fish, Dan D'Fish, Andy Liew, Megadong, two friends of Seb who lack his pokering prowess and two newbies. Andy and Mega good value at the table mark you.
During the first two levels we saw one flop eight handed and at least two seven handed.
Here you go Drainy, here's that hand again (it may not be 100% as I was jabbering away to Andy but it's along the right lines; wanted to save it for the league review this morning)...

Blinds 50-100, limps x 5.
Bumped up to 600. Call x 5.
Flop comes  
Someone bets 200 (into around 4000). Call x 5.
Turn  
Someone bets 400 (into around 5000). Call x 5.
River  
Check x 5.
Avi turns over the winning  

Yikes!

[Simon Galloway]

George could start an argument in solitary confinement...

[Drain Alien]

Aha - the hand has returned.
Thanks chomps ; I thought I woz imagining it last nite!

..."Two of his mates lacked his poker prowess".......LOL

[Drain Alien]

George could start an argument in solitary confinement...

... And he wouldn't let the other bloke win!

[scotty77]

While I didn't play in the tournie,  I did sit with Celtic on the cash table from 10.30ish until 5am!  Was lots of fun even tho my tendency to bluff like a moron meant that i was down £250

Well-groomed? lol, just lol.

But I like the name - Orpeford.....

..........WHERE IS EVERYONE?
It's very quiet on this thread today.....

Phil is obviously sitting somewhere basking in the glory of his recent results.

Tracey Ding has [sadly] left the site - & poker - in order to avoid those evil robbing silver machines.

Tikay is crying somewhere contemplating that he's a week old than he was last Thursday.

Glenn is [probably] sitting in the $100 @ the Hard Rock.

Vinny is [apparently] at Matalan. I don't know get this, but I have seen references.

Luther is preparing to move up the ladder from his usual "Sunday 5" game (despite recent advice to take it a bit more slowly).

Richie has gone to church to pray that nobody swears at tonight's table.

Dean has to the local book shop to look-up another joke about Chimpy's [lack of] ironing skills.

Lucky is somewhere near Oxford Street, and wondering what his wife is gonna get him for next year's Birthday.

Gotchy is wondering how many players he's gotta beat [again] in the Monday nite comp, and also tuning his guitar up for the afternoon's performance at the O2.

Chumpy - WellDoneSon - has gone to get his arms waxed.

George has gone to happy school.

Seb is teaching his 2 mates to play.

Oh, and Mrs Alien has retired from poker [again]
