Never been to a blonde bash, think the last one was held before my time. But I'd definitely be in, especially if there's curry. Love the idea of it being a low buy in a tbh I couldn't give a monkeys about a guarantee, a mass home game with regular shots and a whole lot of weird rules would be more than enough to get me along for the night. The charity night dtd held a while back remains one of my favourite experiences within poker.

I used to absolutely love the blonde bash weekends and would be well up for attending a future event along the lines of the ones held back in the day. I may be in a minority here but for me the actual 'main event' was always more of a sideshow to the shenanigans, always played in good spirit and not about the buy in or prizepool, more for the banter and bragging rights. Whilst I can sort of understand the logic of the separate events at different buy ins, I can't help but think it would take away from the whole atmosphere and what made blonde bashes unique. Do we really want the low-rolling recs and the big boy pros playing different games or do we want everyone united in a single giant home game with friends from across the poker spectrum? I don't know how set in stone these ideas are yet, but I for one would certainly be much less inclined to come along as things stand. As i say, i may be in a minority but thought it worth putting out there. Good luck with the planning etc and hope it's a big success whichever way it pans out.

good post, i agree

Yeah Claire has it spot on. DTD tournaments are great for serious poker but the couple of bashes I've been to the complete haphazard nature of the comp is what made it so much fun.

I know Rob's looking at it in a big way with guarantees but I really don't think they're necessary. What matters is everybody being drunk and having fun with the poker being secondary.

Also I think it would be great to have one somewhere other than DTD. Although it's undoubtedly the best card room there is you become a captive audience and that takes away from the atmosphere as the poker takes over.

I remember a few years back in Leeds sitting outside a hotel getting drunk in the sun watching others play cricket on the slabs followed up by pub crawls, a bit of drunken poker and then more pub crawls. Perfect weekend and impossible to recreate at DTD.

If it has to be at DTD which is understandable then maybe try to organise a pub crawl in town. Get someone like Ryan to organise it for the Friday night but don't bother with poker. That way people get to meet each other on Friday, get drunk and have fun then play hungover poker on Saturday afternoon with the people you got to know the night before.



Morning Matthew.

I need to correct a slight misunderstanding before it gets out of hand.

Alcohol consumption at the forthcoming blondebash will not be permitted under any circumstances.

I hope I make myself clear, & I'm quite sure this will enhance your enjoyment of the occasion.

By way of extra curricular activities, I am organising a visit to Derby Locomotive Works on both the Saturday & Sunday morning. Shall I put your name on the list, in case it fills?

These used to be fun, 5 a side and a quick 20/20 bish bash bosh would be lovely.

Would be good to see the old faces and some new ones.

Would be especially game for this, probably even more than the poker/drinking although all 4 would be good

Think I'll call that one.

You organise it and I'll be there.

Tracey Dell would have to be in attendance, and has to be on my table (along with Frank Bruno, Steve Davis, Paul Gascoigne and Bruce Willis).

One idea is that the 'main event' can be done in the style of that comp format that Sam Trickett devised, where people can buy in for three different amounts and there are three prize pools?  Not sure that'd actually work though, but it's an idea.

The other option is to make it a Bounty Hunter as that adds an element of fun and bragging rights to the 'main event'.

Lots of satellites online could get those of us looking at more modest buyins to have a way to take part in an event with a larger prizepool.  Some sort of added value up top would be good, maybe a VIP Platinum DTD Member thing (or similar) that doesn't cost Rob too much Cheesy

What about nicking the format from the world sit n go masters. Lets assume 45 people. We have five tables of Single Table Tournaments, everyone plays and gets a league point based on where they finish. Then we all draw again, play another SNG, same deal. Do that maybe 3-4 times. Then either payout based on league points, or the highest ranked players play a final table or someink.

Sounds potentially complicated, but keeps everyone playing a bit longer and we almost all share a table with each other at some point.

As a suggestion for the format, how about randomly selected teams and a series of STTs on Saturday and a turbo MTT on Sunday.
It's all about the fun so make it a charity event and support Emmanuel House.
Maybe Party Poker and others could be persuaded to stump up some prizes?


Oh and then select tables at random to see how many press ups they can do...

Don't even go down the charity angle. Way too complicated and would put loads of people off.

It's either a blonde comp or a charity comp, not both.

The venue for this years women's world croquet championships is a stones throw from DTD and they accept bookings from "social groups".

If only we knew a posh boy who knows the rules.

If they had it showing on the screens in the club with a 10 minute delay that could potentially be amazing.

Pointless doing a proper stream as nobody would want to watch it but if you got the right people at the table who knew that their current hand was up for review by everybody in the club in the next ten minutes you could get some real entertainment.
