[LIONRAMPANT]

Excellent tourny tekkers. WP, and another flag!

Oioi Alex. Congradolances, your consistency is really impressive. One hand I was unsure about was te aqo where Ricky raised utg. Ross peeled hj. Thoughts on squeezing here?


Really sick consistency though and look forward to seeing the gang at monte.

Tighty's got it, Badbeat was founded by Chris who has now relocated to Monte Carlo and John who is still based in Yorkshire.

Jeff had been with Badbeat since inception as a trader initially, then a mentor and finally overseeing some other projects before retiring last year.

Who's Ricky? Presume this wasn't on the final as I had a bowl the whole final. Don't remember the hand anyway.

Cheers mate. I really like playing live tournaments, can't wait for Monte Carlo!

do you ever speak to Richard Herbert Marky? He started playing some more live stuff a couple of years back and ran into him a couple of times. He has a cracking sense of humour and I sent a couple of lads his way who were at uni but wanted to chase the dream.

I know Rich/Strummer very well, came down to Dorchester for the £30 rebuy my old man had at his club back almost 10 years ago now!!

Strummer used to come down along with Skalie, Sealey and  a few others from up north. I had mates that flew over from Sweden and Tenerife for it too, lot of travellers for a £30 tourney

I still speak to him, although not as much since he left Badbeat andwent back to work. Now he just plays the odd bit himself on the side I think and does some sportsbetting too.

Used to get all the Welsh contingent up too. Iwan Jones, Martyn Kavanagh, Jeff Burke and Mark Williams the snooker player even came once. He had a moody on when Sealey took all his dough in the cash game though

Mr Kimber came to all of them as well unless I'm mistaken, they were great fun and definitely some great memories!

Jeff Burke was a quite extraordinary Online cash-game player.

He was the wrong age to be respected, but jeez, I have met very few people who really crushed Online Cash Games, but Jeff was one of them.

Chris Smith has always been a good friend of blonde, as it happens. We had dinner on a few occasions, trying to broker blonde-based deals etc, but they never quite came off. He always said, repeatedly, "if blonde are ever in trouble, come see me & I'll try & sort it".

Richard Herbert? Wowzer. Think the last time I saw him was at the Monte Carlo Millions, in 2005, in which he finished 7th.

That was the day that Paul Jackson & Phil Ivey played that amazing hand.

In the same final were TonyG, (then a Shareholder in blonde) Marc Goodwin, John Juanda, & a Scandie I have not heard of for some years, but he was "The Man" back in the day, Bengt Sonnert. (Sp?).

Oh yeh that was an interesting spot. I remember thinking I didn't wanna get it in vs the OR. I wasn't sure whether flatting or squeezing was best. I can't remember stack sizes or dynamics at the time tbh.Merits to both of course, but opted for the lower variance route and just smooth called

IIRC, Bengt Sonnert came 3rd(..?) In the Poker Million the year Helen Chamberlain lost to Tony Jones.

Probably, I don't recall.

He was a cool-looking dude, I know that, & the girls were all over him.
