Blackjack Tournament Updae

admin — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 04:17:44 +0000

I still owe you the updates from the Blackjack tournament which was taking place on July 19.
So, everyone arrived to my house, eventually there were 12 crazy blackjack lovers here, which means the prizes went up a bit since we initially expected 10 players around the blackjack table, so this was a nice surprise.

We started playing at 2 tables of 6, where the top 3 from each table were in the final table, so I was lucky enough to get there, playing some brilliant blackjack moves (luckily for me dealer busted a lot so even crappy hands as 13-16 brought home some nice revenues).

At the final table I had some really bad hands and I was out of it pretty fast (finished the tournament at #5 which is nice but didn’t gave me any winnings since only top 3 got to share the prize pool)

Now I have this cool table, which can be blackjack or poker table, all i need is to get a roulette wheel and I cant start my own home edition casino (I even have this crappy old mini slot machine I once bought)
Better luck next tournament (which is going to be a poker texas holdem one)

Blackjack Tournament – Remember This One?

admin — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 04:42:39 +0000

I am not sure you guys remember but a while ago we had some nice blackjack tournaments at my house, remember? anyway, I have decided to bring back this tradition and I am organizing the next blackjack tournament at my house next week, all blackjack lovers are welcome (oh ye, if you are located close enough to Prague….)
So, I was going online to play some online blackjack and check for some other ideas to take from the online blackjack world to my kitchen table next week (which will become a blackjack table for 3-4 hours) and as for now, it seems like playing online blackjack is still just blackjack, although I do enjoy the UBT rounds – love the rhythm and the simplicity of everything there.

Date of the next blackjack tournament: July 19

Buy in: 75Euros (oh ye, we taking it up a notch)

# of blackjack crazy players: 10 or more (we have 10 by now – hopefully some more will join us since blackjack is known as a much friendlier, easier game than poker – we will see)

needless to say – I am looking forward to win some of this blackjack money

New Poker Chips for The Poker Girl

admin — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:11:10 +0000

A friend of mine just came back from a trip in the states, of course he visited some great casino places in vegas (mainly in vegas, although he also went to some small, strange, creepy casinos around the states but this is for another post) anyway, he was at vegas, playing some blackjack mainly and some roulette and stuff, when suddenly he saw this place giving away new poker chips set if you play there, so of course he was thinking about me, he friend, the poker girl and he decided to go to and play some blackjack hands and spind the roulette wheel just in order to win this poker chops set for me…which was great for me but also for him since he then won like 200 bucks on the blackjack table and also did some nice wins at the roulette (and i was thinking since he played these rounds for me, this winning money should go to me right? well, he didnt think so – ho well – maybe i should show him this post about my parents roulette wins)

Anyway, I have a new poker chips set which is kinda nice, these are not the best poker chips around there but there are not crappy as well, so when you get them as a gift it is really nice – and hey, maybe now i can practice the poker chips trick i was writing about a while ago…

Busy, Busy, Busy

Well, I dont have much to tell now, no poker nights, no blackjack tournaments, no bingo wins and nothing basically, i am really busy lately, went to a vacation with my family at the mountains which was nice, but other than that I am really busy. Hopefully next weekend I will bring back the tradition of the great blackjack tournament i was telling you about, time for my revenge – watch out Alex… and I wont say anything else…

Back from Las Vegas

Poker Girl — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:01:15 +0000

So I am back home, after 4 days and 20 hours of flight or so I am back from Las Vegas.

I did some gambling while there, at the first day I won like 50 USD or so at the roulette table which was very nice, then later that night I played some blackjack, it was nice and a lot of fun to sit with some people at the black jack table and get crazy, I won a few and lost a few.

The next night I went for another night of crazy blackjack gambling and I played at the same table (with a friend) and lost about 160USD, so now I am actually below targets here I really need to get it back (maybe I should play only roulette next time and not try my luck with some other games like blackjack ha?)

Well, I didnt tried poker though, it looked strange to sit in a room with people i dont know and play a game like poker, it supposed to be much more social i think, i dont know maybe next time poker will be on my agenda as well.
Anyway, I need to sleep – will write more about Vegas and the casinos next time.

anyway, in the meanwhile i have decided to check to online poker at party poker – I heard some great stuff about it and i want to see what it is all about – updates later (you are of course welcome to play with me there – im pokergirl…)
