you get my pm kev?

Rookie re raises a guy all in with  Kd Ks ... insta call from matey boy holding  Ac Ahrt OUCH !!

But rookie gets a break when the flop comes over and  Kc shows up ... rookie now up to 24k

yes mate, will chat on msn in a bit.

Iron lumps it all in after flopping the nuts ... he got all excited about winning an 18k pot .... unfortunately his oppo held exactly the same hand as him LOL  .. chop chop !!

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Bigfella is first blondeite out, he had  Ad Ks and the chips went in on an  Ac xc xd flop but his oppo called holding a flush draw and the fatal card came on the river.

come on floppy!

thanks for the updates  Kev (and inthebelly!)

Booder the BOK strikes again...

Floppy is OUT in awful cirumstances .... holding  Qh Qs he raised preflop and got a caller.

the flop comes  9s 6h 3c Floppy bets ...oppo calls

turn  Jd

Floppy pushes matey calls ...  on their backs floppy cant believe it when his oppo turns over 6d Js

No help on the river and FLOPPY IS A GONNER !! 3h

LOL Booderesque style Bokking ;)

thats harsh, unlucky floppy

harsh.........j 6  ffs        what is he ?   some sort of amateur ?

lol.. I wonder how often the APAT ethos has been tested in this tournament!

ul Flops.. you get em next time!

yes, I think you have to be an amateur to enter

Eric stoner gets a move to Irons table ... first hand he picks up the BULLETS and takes 4k off Iron :D :D :D

no professionals allowed to enter ?

Rookie itb IS OUT ... he flopped top 2 with  Qd Td but his oppo hit a straight ... massive 43k pot goes the wrong way and rookie is a gonner :(

good luck to matty, celtic won 2-0 so i owe him $20  ;goodvevil;

looks like iron is the last of my picks.........who would have thunk it

nope, thats the whole point of calling it an amateur association, hope that helps ;)

Tell ScottM good luck - GO TEAM CHORLTON!!  :D

 ;thankyou;

Cmon Scotty Boy.... wish him luck from Mark & Agnes

Love Poppet xx

Iron up to just over 20k he has  Kh  Qd on sb ... BB has  Kd 9d flop comes  Qh Qs Jd BB pushes all in on the flop ?  ... Iron gets his chips ... LUCKY FISH !!

Hi guys, just got back home, sad to see rooks out, he was my tip for the comp if there had been a book. Good luck to all remaining blondes.

About my exit hand.

I had about a 10k stack and I raised in mid position with  Qs Qc to 500 (blinds 75/150), BB has more than me, and is the guy who knocked Red out of the big Gutshot tournament. He is a bit of a calling station. Anyway he calls my raise, and the flop comes  9s 6c 3s which isn't the best flop for me, but he checks, so I bet 1k into the 1,075 pot and he calls.

Turn is  Jc

He checks again and I'm quite sure he's drawing, so I bet 2.5k this time, he check/raises me pretty much all-in, now I'm trying to think what he has here, if he has a set of nines, sixes or threes or at a pinch J9, I'm in trouble, but there are just so many big draws I'm beating that can make this move too.  Ac 9c,  Aspades Js,  5c 4c,  7c 8c,  8s Ts for starters.

Because of the draw intensity of the board I decided to push, actually quite sure I was ahead to one of the two ace hands I've mentioned. He shows me Jh 6h and I miss my eight outs. If the board isn't a heavy drawing one, I might've been able to pass but here I just had to take the medicine.

Once I found out I was one of Booder's picks, I wasn't surprised. :D

Thanks for all your support anyway guys. :)

Hope he doesn't get AK....

Unlucky Bainn, 10-A has been the killer for many a player.
Good luck to Iron and Eric, could we have a battle of the wheelchairs in the final?
 

Ok, now im getting a bit concerned ... IRON HAS 45k more than double average.. apparantly he hasnt shut up all day and has now got louder !!

He cant .... he really cant ... please someone tell me that he cant !!!

he cant!

Good updates Kev. Just got in now, bit gutted to have got off to a good start then lose it on one hand! :(

Limped from the C/O with  Qh Th for 200 (i had a 23k stack), Sb makes up and BB checks.

 Qd Td 8h flop looked nice, although full of draws. They check to me, and i bet 600. The SB is the calling station on the table, but he also plays his draws heavy, on a previous hand he c/raised and bet every street on open ended. He has also been hitting and is the only one on my table who has me outchipped. He then announces raise, making it another 3.5k more! Quite alot i thought, but i couldn't put him on anything more than a draw, maybe straight and flush draw with his  9d 7d or  Jd Kd ? So my plan was to call on the flop and force him off on a non scare card turn.

 5c - lovely turn. He bets out 6k, to which i am obviously worried as i half expected him to slow down. But, i thought, there is only one possible hand he could have that he is ahead of me with, J 9. I had ruled out the fact he could have had QQ 10 10 or 88. He may also have had Q10, Q8 or 10 8 - 2 of which im beating and the other we chop. So in i went, 12k more. He calls so quick i know he has J 9 before he turns his cards over.

So, with the  4c appearing on the river i make my way out! Ho hum, good fun though, i had a friendly table and was a well structured tournament to boot.

Come on Iron!!!!

GO ON IRONSIDE

Is it played to a finish tonight?

Oh & Come on Mr Ironside

G'wan Ironside. No play will stop at 12 i believe and then finished tomorrow.

they play until midnight and the remaining players return tomorrow ... And stop cheering for Ironfish... can you imagine how unbearable he would be if he won this !!

Got to nip out and pick my lazy teenager up from his mates house .... will be back soon with any news.

Ironside win it .....hmmm what are the odds!!!!

GOOOOO IRON!!!!!!!!

Maybe Ironsides been singing again? That's enough to put anyone on tilt! :)

WOW what an amazing half hour i have had ... drove to my sons mates house to pick him up, and had to drive through Colchester town center ... so many women ..so little clothes !!  I pick lazy no.2 son up and take him to his mums ... when i get there No1 son comes out and says "Dad, can you give me a lift to my mates house, he is having a party"...So I put the meter back on in Dads taxi and set off to his mates house ... I am greeted by numerous 17/18 year old girls wearing belts for skirts who rush the car to greet No 1 son ... Then I get the "ooooohhh are you Liam's Dad, thanks for bringing him over", meanwhile as Liam is getting hugs and kisses of all these girlies, a few of them come round to my window and start insisting that I park up and join the party and have a drink.... Man I was tempted ... but the look of sheer panic on No1 sons face convinced me that it was a bad idea LOL.


Anyway, now i have had a cold shower and have a few more updates to pass on...

40 left and Ironfish news.....

Iron is on 50k ...he found the BULLETS to take out an all in stealer !!!

Well done guys, good Blonde showing so far & 3 Scots amongst them as well  ;mexicanwave;

Iron just been on phone, pissed as a fart and as happy as a dog with two tails.

Couldn't talk much, he is being mobbed by adoring fans.


I think he is a PRO and should be barred.

will try kev tikay know he must have forgot hes getting old

Cheers for the support guys !!

The limpet / Team Chorlton is still in - lets see what tomorrow brings  8)


And as for Ironside -


HOW ????????

Just when we thought we'd got the APAT off to a corking start, everything went perfectly to plan, wonderful atmo, Iron has to go & spoil it. I mean, HOW?

Seriously, he played great, though when Matey Boy moved on him with 8-4, he seemed reluctant to call, eventually saying "OK. I'll gamble". He turned over A-A...

Brendan (Eric Stoner) played wonderfully, quietly amassing chips all evening.

In fact, all the blondes gave a good account of themselves, though poor Bainn had no cards to work with - 4-4 was his best hand in 5 hours! Anf floppy's exit was cringeworthy.

We start again on Sunday at 3pm, & we've (well, Mr Blig Mouth here) promised to take all the Day Two-ers to dinner first. We thought about a dozen would return - in fact, 33 have, plus many of them have wives/partners etc with them. Oops.....

It's quite extraordinary how many of the players have bought family & friends along - I estimate there are 60 or 70 just Railing. And they've come from all over the place - one couple (player + Railer) never been in a Casino in their life, came up from Cornwall. Cornwall! That's in Devon. Another was from the Isle of Man. That's nowhere near Devon.

I've never experienced an atmosphere quite like it. Every player that bust out - 87 of them so far - was warmly applauded by all the players - not just on their table, but the whole cardroom.

Happy days.

Very Naughty Slowroll Iron! Hang your head in shame!

Very nice gesture too Tikay - top man.

 ;woohoo; ;woohoo; ;woohoo;

Just read through the thread cheers for the updates guys :)

Playing for first now...

I am publicy apologizing to ScottM who had the unfortunate task of sitting on my left whilst i was in short stack ninja mode. His Big blind was the SJ tax ;)

Seriously though GL to all still left in cracking event , cracking play (alot better than average tbh) and a crappy hotel :(

Cant win them all i guess.

Good luck folks (even Iron).

How did Clinton Oswald get on please?

Good luck to all the blondes today.
 ;envious;

I just saw this thread


Well done Ironside
 I used to play with you way back and you are good player who on many occassions whipped my xxxx
;cheerleader; ;cheerleader;

Gl to the rest of blondes.
 ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck;

Good luck for Day 2 blondes!

84 vs AA "I'll Gamble!" - LMAO! ;D

Yo!

The Broadway have been very kind with permission, so with a bit of luck, Tighty & I may be ble to bring you a few progress Updates from the APAT Event 1, Day Two, where we re playong for the title of English Amateur Champion.

We have 6 or 7 blondes left in, & play starts at precisely 3pm.

The blondes still in really appreciate your support.

Can Iron win this? Surely not.......

Good Luck to all of them, blondes or not.

We've all had some dinner, (BBQ Buffet!) & the vibes are good. Almost all the players have their families/partners with them, so the atmo is lovely.

xx

So glad it has all gone well for you Tony and Team APAT..x


Good Luck to The Blondes..xxxx

Good luck guys.

Tighty here


Ironside starts the second day chip leader with 74,000

followed by Nigel Johnson at 73,000 and Jimmy Doran at 62,000


33 players returning on 4 tables


special mention to two other blondeites I should mention bigalhx and ThinkerJE who are still here and in the tightly packed field chip wise!

Ironside has a hangover and will hopefully later be the only winner of a poker event to spend all his winnings, EPT seat included, at Spearmint Rhinos

blinds are 1500-3000

we lose a player on the first hand Duncan Gidfrey who came back UTG with 2,000!

Ironside has been moved directly to scott m's left

Immediately on Irons left is joint chip leader Nigel Johnson

Iron is now warming up!  sigh

30 left, 3 tables....shortstacks falling quickly


tighty

I'm bored... only in Luton maybe I should pop up and rail!

GO TEAM CHORLTON!!!

Good luck ScottM :)up

we have a new chip leader, Trevor Heath with 85k


unraised pot and a flop  of  Kd 8h 7h

all the chips fly in with Alan Garnett

Garnett has  Kh 8c in mid position

Heath had  8d 7d in the BB

turn is  2d

river is  Jd

for a runner runner flush in a 50k pot

Very Lucky!

Matthew Milne is up there challenging

taking out a player with trip jacks against other players top pair on the flop

Matthew is blondeite Suited Jock

Not Suited today, but he is unfortunately Scottish

still tighty, half an eye on the golf, half an eye on the poker


Iron is now singing. Anyone within 50 miles with noise cancelling headphones? I'll pay your travel costs

Latest estimate is that scott m will play a hand at about 5.30pm


Iron laid down AJ to a blinds reraise

promptly raised the next three hands pre flop

You poor poor thing!

suited jock has 100k, chip leader

Well done Suited Jock, don't let Ironsides singing put you off!

Poppet x

GOOO ONNN IRON!!!


ENCORE!!!!!!

blondeite bigalhx, alan armitage, has just raised with  Ad Qd

been reraised by a shorty all in, automatically calls


flop  9d 8d 3d


that is called "happy days"

hes up over 60k


tighty

Good Luck blondes, and thanks for updates. Do you know who the guy was who took me out? He must've had about 65k even on the 4th level! Is he still in do you know?

What is the address of the broadway? I'm going to see how many miles it is from here to there.

It's a fair distance poppet. If you want something to do poppet, go down to Rileys in Park street - youll find inthebelly there having a game of pool! :D

a little bit extra for a couple of the Scottish lads to consider


scott m has an 8.30pm flight back to glasgow

suited jock an 8pm flight


the alternative is a national express coach at 10pm, arrive 7am


scott m isn't letting it affect him though, last played a hand nearly 11 hours ago at 11pm

All part of the master plan!!!

remember the story about the tortoise and the hare?  :D

I'm no good at pool! hehe. Although it would be funny to walk in and shout "You're Rubbish!" to him!

rookie was taken out last night by Jay Woods, formerly known as the "man who got red at the gutshot with a gutshot"

he did a spectacular donk off, calling a raise with  Qs Td,

there was then a reraise on the button

a re reraise by the bb

an all in by utg


of course by the time it comes back to him itsa clear call


He was up against AA,KK and KQ!!

He got unlucky, and was out

Was that the guy who knocked me out?

#

Least they went to good use eh?

GOOD LUCK BLONDES


btw what is Ironsides song of choice?

Ironside finds  Ad Ahrt and is reraised by Martin Payne

all in he has  6c 6d, no help on the bard.

Ironside gets lucky and progresses further


James Edwards, ThinkerJE has just knocked out a shortstack with his  Ac Qc and is in decent shape with 60k


26 left

Do you know what poker tourneys Grosvenor Luton are holding this week? If I'm still here I might play.

 ;cheerleader; GO IRONSIDE ;cheerleader;

"pretty woman, walking down the street
pretty woman, the kind I'd like to meet"


In a kind of strangled staccato alto caterwauling blackboard scratching noise

still tighty doing updates


tikay is schmoozing away like the a pro. Sorry, like an amateur

Tikay/Mr tighty, how did Clinton Orchard get on please?

I don't feel so bad now. I don't think anyone needs to comment on the play. But the "He got unlucky" comment is genius...  rotflmfao

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Scotland's own Marcel Luske

ahh thanks tighty! please keep us posted if theres any chip movement with matt

Suited Jock 125k clear chip leader

Ironside 78k, keeps folding to reraises. Mind you he raised early position with  Ad 4c on the last aborted raise.

Iron has just knocked out a shorty, 22 left

You couldnt have knocked us both out.. The guy who knocked me out was on my table the whole time and therefore would have done brilliantly to knock someone out 5 tables down the room!

Nice going Eric, shall we run a spread on how long it will take Iron to donk em off?

Apologies.  Unless you went out with 65, you coincidentally look like someone else!

Lol, no i never, and i also didn't see anyone with blonde hair in the room, the nearest was Tikays white/grey hair  :D

Wherever it is the typos come from....

Or Copenhagen.

Ironside raises again, shows rubbish again


Apart from that this final is tighter than a tight end


tighty


p.s tikay is doing the glamorous final table commentary in inimitable style, which largely involves ripping the **** out of iron


oh, iron has just raised again

TIME TO GO SCOTT - NEXT 6 SPOTS ALL PAY THE SAME, LETS GET SOME CHIPS ACCUMULATED!! :)up

      ;iagree; 

Scott M trebles up in squeeze play

Nice going Scott


Matt must have some mind link with Scott  :D

Cmon Scott.. you can do it... you have to win now.. then u can get a private jet home :)

Any member of "Team Chorlton" can automatically send telepathic messages - we got mystic monkey to show us how ;)

I am sorry to report that Ironside has exited in 8th

He pushed his last 51k in from the cut off with  Qh Jh

and was called in the SB by Anthony with  Ac Jd

with no help, thats that

All joking aside for a minute, Ironside was the life and soul of this tournament, a wonderful larger than life character and he played fantastically and everyone took him to their hearts. Sort of.


Even better for him is that he's been paid by cheque so he can't donk it all away on lapdancers!


tighty

Well done Ironside  :respect: :respect: :respect: ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

Good effort that man.

where can i find the prize structure?

Unlucky sir, but very well played!!

 :respect: :respect: :respect: well played Ironside

2 or 3 pages back

just before the break which has just started fro dinner...andy winkett left us in 7th


so that leaves us with


anthony wolseley 289,000
Jimmy doran 72,000
Suited Jock 364,000
Mark Donnelly 135,000
Scott M 154,000

Good effort Iron  ;applause;

nice result Ironside - now Gooooooooooooooo Scott!

just got your last message Matt...... ;ashamed;

resuming again now, a quick dinner for the remaining 6 and I've got onto my own log in and the connection appears a little better now


My strictly neutral APAT fingers are blonde crossed for scott m and suited jock

i know, apologies - but its weekend!! ;)

p.s. Scott - dont get the wrong idea, that one wasnt for you!!  :D

Well done Ironside, great effort

 :respect:


Glenn

Scott M faced an all in raise by the SS on his BB for hald his stack

Scott held KQ

He called, SS had JJ. JJ held and now Scott is the shorty


Same player Doran then doubled through again QJ vs A 10 on  a AJJ board against Suited Jock. Q on river


Very quick change in table dynamics here therefore

I picked up the one about 'nice pair' as well - wasn't sure who that was meant for! ;)

come on Scott - you can still do it!

Scott M 70k, blinds 8-16k

Suited Jock 170k, lost the above confrontation and a previous AK vs 10 9 all in pre flop vs a shorty...flop 10 9 5!

Keep going Scott - never say die!!

Jimmy Doran out 6th


reraises all in with 10s the orig raiser anthony wolseley

wolsely has AA, which hold to knock Jimmy Out

Wolseley chip leader

Come on Scott!!!

Blind on Blind Mark Donnelly has just seen a flop of

 9s Ts Js

sees action post flop from Suited Jock in the SB with  Jd 8c

quite fortunate, given that his starting hand is  Ks Qs, and he gets paid!


Our two Scots are now the table shortstacks.

C'Mon blondeites!!!

Suited Jock raises all in from utg

anthony thinks in big bl and calls with A9

Suited J has AKs, which holds and he doubles up and begins to recover again

suited jock up to 440k after 2 doubles. chip leader


scott up to 270k after two double throughs plus some raises

blinds 10-20k, 1.2m in play

GO BLONDE!!!!

GO TEAM CHORLTON!!!

suited jock 440
scott 270
mark 220
dan 135
anthony 140


all push and fold awaiting the key confrontations

sorry to be vague, 3 things at once syndrome and a bit snowed under (tip: never run a cardroom!).......scott and matthew will have to fill you in later on some things

No need to apologize squire - all updates gratefully received!!

My brain hurts from all this telepathic nonsense!!!

suited jock raising frequently, pulliing ahead uncontested


the rest seem to be waiting, as its "winner takes most" though, suited jock must be right to use his chip stack aggressively

Anthony Wolsely is OUT 5th

first he called Marks all in from the bb with  Ac Tc but Mark held  Ahrt Qh, no help

next hand UTG he pused his remaining chips in with 22, Scott M called in BB with  Kh Qh and waited to the river to spike a Queen to move to over 400,000 chips

4 left blinds going 15,000-30,000

 ;woohoo;

400k - GO SCOTT!!

GO SCOTT AND SUITED JOCK! xxxx

Scott doubles up Dan...AK off vs JJ all in pre flop, J on flop


Chip counts


Suited J 400k
Mark 100k
Scott 310k
Dan 410k after that race win


Now Mark doubles off Dan J 10 vs A 9, 10 on river

  Oh what a shame, well done Iron  :respect:

Unlucky Scott - win that race and go clear chip leader with 3 left :(

Still all to play for pretty even in chips.

suited jock 420k
mark 270k
scott 280k
Dan 330K

could go any one of four ways

blinds go to 20-40k soon.....

GL to the ones left, was a great event.

Nice one APAT.

JDforce

Scott was down to 130k after having not found a spot for 3 or 4 rounds at high blinds

He pushes UTG with K10off and is called by Mark in the BB with AJ off


raggy board and SCOTT M FINISHES FOURTH


Great effort Scott. Off now to catch his bus!

Bad news gang .. LIMPET (ScottM) has gone in 4th place, with blinds at 20k/40k and him only having 120k in front of him.. he pushed with K 10 and was called by A J ... raggy board means Limpet exits in 4th and scarpers to try and catch a coach back to the colonies .....

UL LIMPET :(

DARN :'(

Unlucky Scott - Excellent performance, well played!!  ;applause; :respect: ;applause; ;topman;

fk me is there an echo in here ??

Tighty, why phone me and ask me to put something on the board and then post it yourself ya muppet :)

Play excellent poker for two days and get presented with the same financial reward as someone who was eliminated over four and a half hours ago. Thats not right :(

Suited Jock pushes with 10s and is called by Dan in BB with KQs. He hits a K on the flop and Suited Jock is virtually out


Kev, the connection is so ropey in here I don't know what is going through until some minutes later!

 :goodpost: 4th must be about the worst place to finish in this one :(

 ;goodluck; Suited Jock!!

Tribeca, APAT .... one day you might have something positive to say about something other than pokerstars ffs ... its getting boring.

He might even be able to cover expenses!

Suited Jock out in 3rd, he'd doubled up twice but still only had 4x bb and was in auto push mode


Well played Matthew


Dan Phillips vs Mark Donnelly for the title

Mark doubles up to even chips first hand heads up AJ vs 66, A on flop

Well played lads unlucky not to take it down

Tell Tikay there's 60+ guests as well a lot of members reading the EPT updates. :)

fair enough - i'll keep my views to myself

I dont want to take anything away from both Scott and Matt's excellent performances - today is their day, congrats.

Daniel Phillips is the English Amateur Poker Champion

J2 vs 65 on a 8226A board


Congratulations

Good night all

well done to all the finalists, and thanks for the updates  ;applause;

gl both .well done all the apat team had a great weekend  thanks

Thanks for the great updates - I really enjoyed keeping abreast of events at The Broadway.

I hope I may one day get a mention myself in an upcoming APAT tournament!

Technolog

Hey guys :(

What a fantastic event its a shame about the comments regarding the prize structure as being as top heavy as it was made for a truely great and epic final table. Not one for being results orientated i was pretty much a coinflip away from taking the thing down.

stacks

Button - 200k ish
SB - 440k
BB-Me -450k

Ive got a great aggressive image for defending my BB Button passes. SB makes it 100k i reraise allin to 450k total and he still calls the extra 300+k with K high (KQ).. my cries of one time drowned out by ironside and a K on the flop :(

Absoultely gutted played some of the best poker in my short career on that final table but lady luck wasnt smiling when it mattered :(

Oh and I missed my last plane, last bus, last train and am going to have to stroll in late to work tomorrow :( Writing this from broad street travel lodge..

 ;applause; ;applause; :respect: :respect:

Well played Blondes, great performance getting to the Final Table, sounds like a fine Tournament.

Congratulations to Mr Daniel Phillips (Join up to Blonde & tell us about your win).

Thanks for the updates Tighty & co

well played fella, a great performance .... Top blondeite is small consolation, but at least you beat Ironside ... :)

Absolutley gutted to finish 6th..... Never played a pair of 10's so bad, and what a time to have a pair of aces...... Ah well maybe next time??? Congrats to the winner...

Very Well played final table blondes, and unlucky not to take it down Suited.

A bigger well done and congratulations to TIkay, Des, Tighty and Mel for there superb organisation and running a superb event. And im sure i speak for most when i say, i cant wait for the next one!

3 cheers for the APAT....

HIP HIP...

I said.........


HIP HIP!!!!!......

:(

aint in a cheering mood.

Maybe tomoz.;

I'll do it then ::)

;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

Just got back from brum, and read the updates, well done to suitedjock. so ul  to finish 4th.

and to all the other blondes who got together to make it a fun weekend,I'm sure you all like me can't wait for the next leg of  the APAT.

Thanks to Glenn(bigfellla) for pushing me from the hotel to the broadway, many times.

thanks to Des,Tony,Mel. and Richard,for their efforts to make the 1st APAT event run so smoothly.their organising and genuine Bon amiee, made all of us players feel relaxed.

The broadway team impressed, as did the venue itself, prrobably the nicest casino I've been in, in the UK.

I hope the APAT goes from strength to strength, cos I intend to remain a  member and enjoy the rest of the  tour through the year.

Brendan.

Well my first post guys.
Not a very pleasent drive home after finishing 5th.
But would like to extend my thanks to APAT and all those mentioned above for a great tournament.
Suited_Jock, Great performance. Definately deserved the win. Unlucky.
RookieITB, thought I'd blown it when I tried bluffing you when you had Aces, but managed to hold on a bit.
Thanks again all, oh and Ironside. It was a pleasure playing at your table. And knocking you out.
And just for my peace of mind. My name is spelt - Antony Wolsey.
Cheers

You knocked Ironside out ... ??


Consider yourself welcomed and thankyou for making sure we never had to endure Irons everlasting chirping ;)

Didnt realise it was you mate, the guy from halifax right? Very nice to meet you, and very well played!

;iagree;
What this man said.

Hi Antony

Very well played and sorry for the spelling!

Welcome to blonde too!

Hi Jimmy, very well played tonight and welcome to blonde

What a fantastic weekend!!!

A big thanks to all the APAT team, Tikay, Des, Richard & Mel for making the event so enjoyable.  

The Broadway was an excellent venue for the 1st live event.  The dealers & rest of the cardroom team were very hepful & professional and hot buffets were provided on both days.

I finished 14th,shortly after having an accident with pocket 3's (I suppose he had to call with AA...)

I stayed on to watch the final which turned out to be very exciting.  Lots of all ins and chips moving freely around the table.  I thought suited jock as unlucky and played the best poker in the tournament.  Also well done to all the players who made the event so successful.

I hope this is the start of great things for the APAT and cannot wait till the next event.

Thanks to all the players over the last 2 days for being so friendly and making the tournament so enjoyable, hope to see you all again soon.

 

I thought you played a terrific final table, the bullying 5 handed was top stuff!

Unlucky not to win it Matt, but well done anyway


Same applies to Scott M, probably on the M6 neading North as I write, he was a coinflip away from a huge chip lead 3 handed but lost it and that was almost that

I really felt for him, fantastic patience all day.

Glad to see you've joined up mate :) Great performance wp :)

Made my bus - Just !!!!!  :D

Absolutely knackered but had a smashing 2 days at the Broadway - Thanks for all the support from you guys,  much appreciated  ;applause; ;applause;

Matt, I thought you were gonna win after I went out, very unlucky mate :(,

 Well done to Dan Phillips for the win  ;letsparty;, hope he enjoys Copenhagen.

(Oh yeah and thanks to Ironside for those sweet melodies he was singing  all day  rotflmfao rotflmfao)


Need to go get some  ;sleep; ;sleep; now  ;stickaforkinme;

Yep, well played Scott and Matt. Unlucky.

same from me, always knew you were wiser as well as older than me scott :-D

Hi all,

Im new to this site but thought Id post as I really enjoyed the tourney despite busting in 23rd when Ironside and the scottish lad (suited jock?) who I'd sat by both days did a nice co-operation move on me and my AQ lost to K 10 and my last 15k went.

I think ScottM was sat on the other side of me on sunday from what I can tell and it was a real pleasure to play against these 2 lads for all of 2 days. I was pretty close to taking suited jock (if the right guy) out on day one as he was down to 10k so it was fitting that he got me in the end. Glad you 2 managed to cash as I presume you had to miss your flights for your final table spots.

Just want to add that it was a great tourney and I really enjoyed my 1st live experience so I hope to be back at one of the other APAT events.

We'll done to everyone who made the dough!!!

Cheers

Ian

Hi everyone - Daniel here.  Still in shock after yesterday.

Mark, Scott, Antony, Jimmy and Matt (and everyone else on the final table) - you all played fantastic poker, it was just my lucky day.  It was a privilege to play on that table, some great poker and some great people.

Matt - that KQ v TT was the defining hand for me.  If the cards had been dealt the other way round it would have been you and Mark heads up (where again I was the lucky one with that last flop).

Got to thank Des, Tony, Mel and everyone else from the APAT for organising a cracking few days, and the same for the Broadway casino - excellent venue and it all ran very smoothly.

It was great to meet you all yesterday (including Ironside, who was absolute top quality), and look forward to meeting up again soon.  I didn't know about this place until yesterday  ;ashamed; - but I'll be spending a bit of time here from now on  if you don't mind?

Cheers,

Daniel

Hi Ian glad to see you joined up aswell... i think the blondes did really well at getting new recruits in :) you played great mate and your right you probably shoulda knocked me out but you always had a freakin monster hiding back there whenever i made a play... hopefully see you at some further events.

Congrats mate and best of luck in denmark :) You played a patient final table and your right that was the hand that won the tournament for either of us... Just sad my cries of one time went unanswered... I called practically every card from the dealers all night :)

Guys, Mark here..Mr 2nd place. big thanks to all the apat team for making it a great weekend. Dan well done, told you mate, 2 hands!! Looking back what a stupid ass call with 5,6.. should have called you with k,j earlier!!whatever was i thinking!! Make sure you represent in Copenhagen.

to all out there well done. hopefully see you all again

oh and ironside...

(http://darts-import.nl/l_nl/flights/pix/f_9861.gif) I look nothing like his younger brother :|

Suited,

Glad you and Scott made final table - made missing flights worth it. I take it you took the bus back. I bet that was pleasant - Another night in the Brit may have just about been better!

I may have to make the trip north of the border if i get a seat!

Cheers

I crashed at the travelodge on broad street then got a flybe flight home first thing. Im at work now only got in 15 mins late... freakin shattered :(

Mark - you were right, it didn't last long heads-up.  It was always going to come down to who got lucky, and it was me this time.

Looking forward (and farily concerned) about Copenhagen - don't want to let everyone down, and want to make sure I play the best I can. 

Welcome to blonde Dan, and congratulations on your victory yesterday. Welcome to niceguyian too. An apt name that!

Thanks Tight end.

Well done on 3rd Suited Jock. Just read the last few pages and sounds like you were very unlucky not to win.

Will look again later to see how to get into some online tournies against you guys.

Back to work for now.

Cheers

Greetings from sunny Cornwall everyone.
Well done Daniel and best of luck in Denmark.
Well played to Mark, Matthew, Scott and the rest of you guys, privilege to play at a table with you.
I have never been in a casino before in my life, nor I have played any live poker before, (other than £5 rebuys at my local club which are nothing more than a joke).
It was a fantastic experience, a superb casino, and an exceptionally well organised event.
And it was all made better by the fact that every player I met and chatted to was a genuinely nice person, (including Ironside).
Tikay (Mr Kendall, to me), and the rest of the APAT crew - THANKS!!!
Is there another game tomorrow????
 Js Jh
(I was the only ginger one at the final table, by the way)  :D
(Actually, it's auburn)  :D

welcome to blonde Trevor!!!


really well played and nice to meet you

Well done Daniel!!! Still cant stop thinking about my moment of madness...... At the point Antony raised I knew I wanted to push with my pair of 10's thought about folding but I didn't expect him to have a higher pair than my 10's... With the blinds being so big I couldn't really afford to play flops, and didn't mind taking my chances Mano amano but when he turned them aces I was gutted..... I rode my luck at points, and had people suck out against me a few times, but I think we all did at some point....

Looking forward to the next one.... Although it will be hard to get that close again... Many thanks to everyone, the organisers and all the runners who made it what it was.... It was extremely enjoyable......

Hey guys, just another quick post before work.

Welcome to Blonde, good to see the enthusiasm that permeated this weekend is carrying on for everyone involved, full post later.

Hi all

I would just like to echo the positive comments of everyone who played in the event. I went out 24th early on day two but that didn't put to much of a dampner on the experience. I would like to say what a pleasure it was to be sat next to Trevor from Cornwall for most of the first day and well done to him on 9th place.

I run a small annual charity event at my hotel in Cheltenham and if anyone is interested in playing in the next one in March 07 please head over to www.pokerwannabe.co.uk and join the mailing list

Thanks and well done to the APAT team for a brilliant event and in particular to Des who made exiting from the tournament that little bit easier to take with his words of comiseration and of course the free t-shirt lol

Cheers


Ross Warren

to everyone who i played and met and who had the pleasure of my singing and a few of my jokes can i just say

I AM SORRY please dont hold it against me

it was a pleasure meeting you all i am sorry if i dont remember your names

dont apologize for it :D

Well played all and great to see you all getting involved with blonde.  Hope to see you all at the next live event.

well played all and wellcome to blonde

The whole event sounded like an absolute dream and a credit to the peeps at APAT.

When is the next one?

18-19 Nov in Scotland

Confirmation within the next week of venue I hope and of course it will be announced on here

Fantastic, I really hope I get a seat in this one!

Great updates Tighty & well done to all involved looks like it went better than you could ever have hoped for.

It states that the next APAT live tournament is in Wales on their web site.

Just got round to reading this. Sweet!

To all the APAT Members who have joined blonde, thank you, & welcome.

I think it's now safe to say we all had a spiffing weekend. That's what we promised, and that's what we delivered, but it takes two to tango, & it was only possible because the APAT Members made it so.

Thank you.

Website will be updated in next few days with photos from the weekend and tour dates

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for making my job easier, and thanks go to the 20 or so railers for clapping and cheering and hip hip hooray to me at the end of the day , you made me so proud I had to cry :) 

change of schedule. Scotland next!

We've had a debrief today, as scheduled, to see what we can do better.

Our biggest regret was that, for Event One, demand far outstripped seat availability. That was a real shame, but we've learned from it, & have devised options to overcome this for future Events. To those who could not get  seat, we are sorry.

Any other issues will be decided by Member feedback. But I never heard any grumbles from a soul at the Event, & that's most encouraging.

I think we got lucky with the sort of players who signed up to APAT - "recreational" was spot on. To many of them, it was their first casino experience. We did a little "Live Poker Teach-In" pre-comp, & that helped.

We also introduced several initiatives, all designed to be player-friendly. & they seemed to work. That's good for the Members, good for the Casinos (more players), & good for Poker, for we truly put our Members first, & tried to make them feel wanted.

I can't tell you how happy I am today. I truly believe we have put something into Tournament Poker, & if it all ended tomorrow, they can't take that away from us. It's not been pleasant coping with all the doubters & sniping, much of it un-necessarily aggressive, so it's easy to see why Tournament Poker has not moved forward, & the players have not been offered a better deal. We have laid down a marker now - a decent structured £75 Tourney that included an EPT seat & Package worth over $8,000 & plenty more besides, & we have 6 more Events scheduled in Season One, all with the same added value.

We still have in mind a Pro-Am series, but that will be next year, God willing. And we will only do it if, once again, we can bring serious added value. Don't bet against it.

I must also thank all my colleagues in APAT, they have stood strong throughtout the storm. Thanks also to our sponsors, PokerStars & Poker Player, who helped make it possible.

I am as proud as Punch.

.....because we have managed to solve the capacity problem in Scotland, & are still working on it for Wales. We'll get there. We know how disappointed many of you were not to get a seat in Event One, & we intend to resolve that problem & not have it arise again.

Excellent news about the extra seats available in Scotland, will be booking flights & hotels as soon as details announced.

...and so you should be!!! I wasn't there - I only heard about APAT from a friend who joined (and was lucky enough to get a seat) after the Broadway event was closed - but I followed every update on this great forum and it sounded like great fun. My housemate and I have joined APAT and are very much looking forward to seeing you all in Scotland.

Thanks Technolog. See you in Scotland.

On my birthday weekend is the next event. Dont matter, i'll be there!

Echo........and so you should be!

Congrats to you, Tikay, Des, Rich and Mel for putting on a brilliant inaugural event -  everything ran so smoothly and the players were well looked after, thanks to the APAt crew and the Casino staff who were most professional also.  The whole general atmosphere, especially the well-deserved applause each player received, made it a live event to remember. A real opportunity for amateur poker players in a wonderful Casino venue.  Congratulations to the winner, the finalists - it was a really exciting Final Table - and congratulations in particular to all the Blondes who played.  Just one of the many ways the friendliness residing shows, is in the number of APAt members who have now become Blondes -  ;welcome;

It looks like the Tour will do the APA proud.  Good Luck to future events. :)up

Thanks for a great event - I'll put a few photos on shortly. I just need to run them through Photoshop as the Broadway seems to drain all the light out of every shot taken from further than a foot away.  8)

The English Amateur Poker Trophy

Ironside with chips on Day 1

Bain - no longer with chips - on day 1  :D

EricStoner on Day 1

EricStoner's final all in on Day 2

Ironside on the Final Table

Tikay on commentating duty

Another shot of the trophy - but this time with the medals reflected in it (completely on purpose not a fluke at all)

The only other photo I had was of Ironside's favourite waitress, but that's not very interesting :D

With a restricted angle and not being overly tall these were the best I could do, hope you like.  8)

Good photos, Jon.    Thanks for sharing them.

Nice photo's John...........Bainn said, could you please retell the story of the double gravestone, he was riveted first time!! 8)

No, Bainn couldn't appreciate how exciting finding an ancestor's grave with 2 headstones on was - so now I'm just sulking.   8)

Hi chaps,

Finally got to see the picture of Dan and was pleased to see who won.
Nice lad with a good solid game, didn't put a foot wrong that I saw.
Told you jacks were death lol, I would have played the 88 from the button exactly the same way as you by the way.

Hope I get a seat for the next one.

Iron, the best compliment I can give you is that I was chuffed when you got moved from my table, and not cos of your "banter" and BO (I could still hear and smell you across the oher side of the room ;-)). But if you raise my BB with 62 again then show when I fold, you'll wear that chair!

Welcome to blonde Zeb ;welcome;

Sulk away and spare us your "Exciting" tales.

There is not enough stimulants in the world to keep me awake while you endeavour to inform and excite at the same time.

Next time you rail, remind me to bring some steps.

This may seem like a put down - but I really would have appreciated some help looking past the freakishly tall people railing in Birmingham.

But you would have to keep them safe for all the hours it takes between you getting knocked out and me joining you.  :D

!5-Love

 8) 8) 8) 8)

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but i seem to recall meeting you and being able to chat on the railing side of the cardroom before I was able to catch up with Bainn... :)

Anyway, it was good fun meeting you all and railing. TC.

No, Bainn confirmed he was out before me - and of course it was lovely meeting you too.

Apols then if I got it wrong.  :)

Hhmmm, now i know "Munchkins" are hard to notice, normal sized people don't tend to walk around looking that far down, but i'm thinking you were there to greet me at the rails.  I vote we ask God, Harmony is off to church in the morning, so she can ask him after Mass.

no no no - I left the table, went to the rails and you were already there - I think you'll find.

And I've asked my contacts - and God agrees with me.
