Do you currently play on iPoker?

Then why not give blonde poker a go?

The iPoker network don't allow their sites to offer 'rakeback', but blonde poker do operate a 'Loyalty Scheme'... essentially,if you rake >$100 in a calendar month then they will pay a 'loyalty bonus' equal to 30% of your rake.


None of these blonde poker links are 'affiliate' links... I get nuttin' if you decide to play there, you'll just be helping out those good folks at blonde, who have happened upon hard times just now.

Aspers revisited cont...

Posted by Rich...

Aspers Revisited...

Well me an' Rich went back to Aspers, Northampton, on Sunday afternoon, for their £10 + 1 re-buy + 1 re-buy/add-on. A dissappointing field of just 22 had even more dissappointing 24 re-buys/add-ons, giving a prize pool of just £460 to be split amongst the top four places.

We both made the final table... and down to the last 7, Rich pushes from the cut-off on my big-blind... the button folds quickly and the SB dwells-up... I'm hoping he is going to call / push and I could fold my AK... but alas, he folds and I make a reluctant call... Rich has AQ and about 1 chip more than me, so the outcome was never in doubt!!! And there she was, Queen straight out there on the flop!!!

Never mind Rich now has a decent stack and I've got 10% of him... he was out in 6th!!!

This is uncanny...

After spending 10 mins explaining to Steve v3 that calling all-in on the river, on a 995-J-T board, with pocket twos (even though it was the best hand!!) is not terriblely good poker... "But I've got two pairs!"... "No Steve, you have a pair of twos, the only thing you can beat is a stone cold bluff!!"

And then this happens -
- and it's seen to be 'gr8888888 poker'... I just hope Steve doesn't join APAT and read it.

++ LATE [POKER] RESULT ++

I've played so little poker in the last month or so that it hasn't been worth commenting on... and I almost forgot to mention the bit that was!!

So anyway, it was it Chritmas Eve and I was having a browse through the new posts on the blonde forum... an old adversary from the Tribecca days on Blue Square, then known as PiratePab (aka Paul Foltyn, aka Paolo69 on Stars), was offering to stake 5 random folks into the $55 Daily Eighty Grand tourney on Stars. I put my name forward and was selected... result #1.

To cut a 5 1/2 hour story short I came 24th of 1314 for the princely sum of $272... $108 profit after shipping the buy-in and 50% of the remainder back to Pab... Thankyou Sir for the oppurtunity, a shame I couldn't have taken down the $14k+ first prize!!!
