Improving poker tournaments.

smear Tikay in what?  At his age is that not dangerous?

[tikay]

I'm more than happy to have the debate aired gatso, but until I posted, nobody had reported the actual facts correctly.

And I do feel for Tighty - not an easy thing to do - because he feels responsible, when in fact I made the final decision. Tighty rung me about this an hour ago, & he only does that on rare occasions, so I just felt I needed to put the facts on record, & make sure it was known that I made the final decision.

I knew pretty much straight away I'd boobed, but as I said, I could not change my mind yet again. And lets not forget, whilst many were opposed to it, many agreed with it.

So it's back to "you can please some of the people some of the time....."

ofcourse tikay, it was a thread i wanted to start earlier, but didnt as blonde bash was such great fun i didnt want to get it in when all the posts about the weekend were going on. I was more intrestead in the opinions of other people about this, and also the reasoning behind it, and hopefully to make sure it wont happen again!

Nothing was ever said badly about Tighty, infact i think if we just left him to do the job then they would run even better! (here i go stirring again)

Well now I've explained the reasoning behind it.

guys I still count myself as newish on here so heres my perspective on it

Tightends  involveement with the Blonde Bash has heightened his reputation as both a tournament director and a man who can help advise people to make difficult decisions. His reputation on Blonde has risen to a new and even more respected level and his concerns over the issues contained in this thread only enhances the respect and admiration that I have already seen afforded to him from the people on this forum.. Although I am new to Live poker and still fairly new to Blonde it is plain to see that Tightend is incredibly popular and that AFTER BB2 he has become even more so. He is also big enough (and certainly ugly enough)    to post that one or two contentious decisions were made and his attitude and honesty has only enhanced his reputation even more.. I was lucky enough to have Tightend dealing my table in Hamilton and learned more about table manners and etiquette in ten minutes that i did in six hours in cincins.. Anyway thats my tuppence worth and perhaps being slightly more of an outsider than most folk I reckon I might have a clearer view..perhaps not...

I think we can all agree that regardless of whether it was a good decision or a bad one, it was done with the best of intentions.

A lesson has been learned, and I'd suggest there's not much more worth saying on the subject.

Well played to the final tablers who got to split an additional £30 of my dead money 

[tikay]

Well said Div.

[GlasgowBandit]

This is my last word on this one for £30 and getting the chance to play some poker withs ome excptional players for that ammount it could have been bingo and I wouldn't have gave a toss.

Within the space of 10 minutes I was involved in a hand with TK - a guy I had seen  on the telly, then moved my Mr Tight End to a table and was slotted it between Tony Chessa and Simon Trumper and to my left again was Brian wilson!! - Whow as lucky to beat me in a pot 

Itw as great fun and this is not the tournament IMO for correcting all the wrongs in poker! 

Blonde BAsh was about having fun and getting to meet folk from this forum.

Perhaps we could arrange a more formal Blonde event in future which would trully illustrate how a tourney should be run!!!!!!

There speaks a man who understands EXACTLY what blonde Bash is about!

[AndrewT]

I think everything would have been fine if all those who rebought in the 2nd flight were forced to wear stickers on their head saying 'I'VE ALREADY SPUNKED £30 ON THE FIRST FLIGHT LIKE THE BIG OLD MUPPET I AM'.

This should be implemented for any further ideas of this type.

Oh I think I was getting you mixed up with someone else?   your not a girl?   

[moritzey]

I don't like the term "dodgy" ....mistake maybe, incorrect maybe..but we had the best intentions

I didn't mean to imply anything negative about your decision, it was more dodgy as in questionable according to fairness,
not questionable in positive/negative intention. I have absolutely no doubt that you only had the best intentions when
you made that decision, and if I came across indicating otherwise, I apologise.
