Great stuff Rob
When i log in your updates are the ones i look for first, nice to see a poker player being so honest and open in his thought processes.
Wish all blondites the best of luck out there but even if we don't get a winner ( in prize money )  crikey me, what a great life we lead....gambling, drinking, and.....well 2 out of 3 isn't bad Rob eh ?

Dear All,

thank you all very much for your kind comments, I've honestly felt chuffed. I've had 1800 hits in 10 days, the most ever on Blonde. I am glad some of you poker locals also have commented that there is a little more to me than the trash talking, gambling, re-raising cocky so and so I sometimes am the poker table. I am particulary interested in analysing hands and plays I make or made on me, I have been doing this for myself anyway in "the master spreadsheet (yes chubby) " after every major tournament I play so its not been much extra work doing these posts on Blonde. Although I have only been playing for 24 months, and my actual results are not in the same league as the top pros (ie. I've not made a bean), I believe my analysis of no limit hold'em is actually ahead of my poker table experience and this may help people starting out on the circuit (some aspiring poker players have emailed me directly saying this analysis is really helping them). Also, I don't play poker for a living so don't mind being total honest (lets face it - do you really think all these top pros are going to tell us how they actually play for $19.99 in paperback when there living depends on it, for example, I've read TJ Coutiers book, "Competion Hold'em" and he simply does not play anything remotely like he writes in the book!)If people are genuinely interested, particulary those who have only been playing for a short time, after the WSOP, I have no problem with sharing information on how these top players play in some sort of "blog" or "forum" type format. For example, I could detail:

1. My Poker Monthly Profit and Loss (this may show people the actual costs of doing the circuit - not just the prize money, my costs for the next 12 months will be
around 175,000 in fees and expenses so this might make interesting reading when I'm down over 100k in first 6 months!)
2. My 2005 - 2006 12 Month Schedule (and reasons why I have chosen certain tournaments)
3. Detailed Analysis of Key Hands from each tournament I play (particularly stuff that the top players do)
4. Background information of Locations / tournaments I visit (+ a few photos) so you get an idea what all these places are actually like.

Let me know what you think? Cheers Rob

That would be really cool Rob, you see a lot of blogs that say "i won xxx today on such and such a site and "i finished one off the bubble here" but with no reality to it.
They never say "it cost me 300 to enter then 5 rebuys cuz i'm a moron, then went tilting on the cash game and lost another 2000" cuz they are a little embarrassed with themselves and only wanna concentrate on the highs.
I think the question you ask has already been answered by the hits and the feedback and i for one will be a regular reader, and hey wouldn't hurt to give yourself a bit of exposure to attract a bit of sponsorship  Grin

Keep it up and good luck,
Ian

Rob,

The 3 pics you sent were lovely, but two of them were too big. But we CAN downsize them. So keep sending pics to my private e-address, & I'll get them up on "your" part of the site!

If you want to know how to upload pics onto the Forum yourself, send a PM to Ironside, he's the daddy.

But to temporarily satisfy Julian's demand for pics, here's another from Norway. I label all my pics on my computer in a way in which I know I shall be able to find them. I called this one ActionJack.

Valvster,

I have regrettably felt it necessary to delete your maiden post.

I have made a few enquiries, & I understand it was meant as a joke, & no malice was intended. But this Forum is a family place, and I am afraid that your post may not be seen in that light, & was a tad "edgy". OK, I'm old-fashioned, but this is blonde, & we just don't do that kinda thing.

I hope you are OK with his. If not, please call me - Rob or Nick will give you my number.

Take care now.

Welcome to blonde!

i am on the bmi fligth on the 3rd sorted it all yesterday...

i do have some baggage tho in the name of LATIF! he said we were going to play kalooki for 11hours on the plane!

I said that there would be some heads up matchs... he said good good i'll play them all! I think he ment at the same time in some sort of grand master chess game playing each of u at ur seats while running around the plane! its not goingt to be a quiet journey if anyone hoped for it lol. i won 10 comp at teesside last night, i tell u thats harder than world series! 88players and its a mine field.
