[bobby1]

Well done mate it sounds like a great day and many £££'s have been raised.

Just arrived back from the event, having spent a chilly night in a lay-by on the A1 (after numerous failed attempts to keep eyes open while driving!).

I would like to add my thanks and congratulations to the organisers, venue, sponsors, players and everyone else involved for their part in a special day.

Congrats’ to The Sheriff for using my chips wisely at the heads up stage with ‘Twiggy’, and to Twiggy himself for truly stunning/commendable display of generosity during the re-buy stage.

Well done to all involved and best wishes Best wishes to Maureen, Stacey and Reece.

And to add my bit as well - many many thanks to everyone involved - my first blonde event and my girlf and I had a great time... live poker has always been too serious in my experience, but Kev & Flushy's antics amongst lots of other great banter assured this was not the case.  Much respect to the Western for laying it all on - great venue, and to the P4C lot who put a lot of time in to organising it all. 

Thanks everyone, good luck and bring on the next event!

Cheers,

Joe & Sheridan

Thanks to everyone involved with Game4life ,  all very special people doing a fantastic job !!!.
 Great to meet a few more Blondes, on this occasion i dont think i insulted or upset anybody and i can only apoligize for not doing so , and rest assured i'll get you next time. 

Great to see Mr tightend get a well deserved 2nd place, Mind you any idiot can run deep in a tourney if you re-buy 68 times !!!!!!!!!! He started with £10.......then £20........then the big red £50's came out, what a truely generous bloke he is.

Even after defeat to Mr Sheriff having a 3-1 cheaplead (he also offered to chop it 50/50 at this point, and take the trophy)
How nice is that !. However Curtis politely refused as he also wanted that pretty little trophy sitting at home, that's how much it mean't to the both of them.....now that's two great gladiator's doing battle ..........No that's a load of B*ll*x, it's only a silly card game ! .

Well done to the both of them.

Thanks to dave & angie for such a nice time.

lol


Mr Tighty obviously ain't so tight afterall then....

[TightEnd]

Well it went like this

I had a result or two last week and I was late leaving home, so I took a bundle of £ hurriedly and drove down

thetank was dealing and I got big hand after big hand cracked...we all know AA nine ways is pretty useless....with about half an hour to go of the rebuys I still had no chips! At this point I stupidly asked tank if I could have 10 rebuys at once. Well he wasn't going to say no was he?

then i kept losing with made hands to outdraws


So that was that!

Wanted to play proper poker in the freezeout stage so bought another 10 at the break and went from 5000 chips at the start to 70% of the chips in play heads up....was delighted. However I needed to win or equal split 1st and 2nd to get out of it but Sheriff the fish did me cos he wanted to play to win that trophy! By that stage all I wanted was the trophy too! Shallow? Moi?.

All in all, only £150 out of pocket and Reece gets the £ needed...Result!!!

Finally, I was very proud to be asked by Davey and Ang to take the various electronic equipment to the Pasque Hospice for terminally ill children in Luton this week. I know this will be a very upsetting experience but am happy to help in distributing some of the goods bought with proceeds from events like this

You are most welcome Claw.. but you did not need to thank me.. my thanks are with you..x

[The Truth]

Just to say thank you to everyone. It was a great day and I am glad everyone had a fantastic time.I have just walked into the house but felt the need to add to this thread - I will do so in more detail later after some food and rest.

Mine and Angies reward is to see everyone having a great time and the knowledge that the money raised will make so much difference ....... oh that and the letters Angie and I have received informing us we are now banned from a the casinos of a national chain.

I just asked Angie about this, and I must say it's an outrage.

Not sure as they won't give a reason and in my case have said that the decesion will NEVER be reviewed. Haven't been in the casinos that wrote to us in a year or so.
