Title: The Game Of The Year Is About To Convene
Post by: The_duke on November 23, 2007, 05:59:44 PM
Ladies and Gentlemen, you can forget all about your WSOP,WPT,EPT et al. The biggest competitive table of the year is about to convene. At Chezger Adult Gaming Room and Casino the finest exponents of the modern game will gather on Friday 7th December 2007. The players include APAT champions, APAT medal winners, On-line sharks and high stakes colossus.

This thread will be updated on the night with blow by blow accounts of the play. Pictures could depend on the level of sobriety.

The beer fridge will be full, the wine rack bulging and the Chinese home delivery service is on standby. Battle will commence at approx 1900hrs and is expected to be bloody and without mercy.

Players

The_Duke     Host and all round good guy
Shogun112    Out of  his slump and in great outdrawing form of late
Kinboshi        Chief poster of posts, quiz master par excellence and head fish
Technolog     Vegas bound and owner of 17 poker books
Dewi Cool      Teetotal man from the wilds of Wales, famed for all in NO fold strategy.
Sharplea        Top updater and chief waiter. Not to mention Heads Up specialist.
Richeo           The Einstein of poker (half hour hands will be the norm)
AndrewT        Spouse to be and bookies favourite at the moment
Jizzem            King Scouser and Blagger of monumental proportions.
XXLOJXX        Chief bottle washer and fridge emptier.

For no particular reason here are some odds (these will of course change as bets pour in)

AndrewT         5/2
Richeo           11/4
Dewi          100/30
Kinboshi          5/1
Sharplea          6/1
Jizzem              8/1
Technolog     10/1
Shogun          10/1
XXXLOJXX      11/1
The_Duke      20/1 (already laid a few bob on this dark horse)

There will be some secret bounties on certain people during the night (disclosed by yours truly at times to be decided by yours truly)

Look out for some tender people in Manchester on the Saturday

It makes you a top bloke. Who wants to have their personal space invaded by blathering drunks who can't hold their drink, don't react to social hints (like "GO AWAY YOU PISSHEAD")?, & with whom it's impossible to hold a meaningful convo?

I know, I know, it's me out of step with the rest of the world, but that's how it always was, is, & will be.

I hasten to add that most folks at the GUKPT do were tolerably sober & coherent. Whereas I was my usual, grumpy self.

I had enough of getting pissed when I was younger. It bores me now and feels like a waste of time. Like you, I can't stand being sober around drunks, it's like you're talking to a different person and I don't like that.

I agree.

For those of you who don't know, I'm allergic to alcohol, which naturally means I'm as sober as a judge in chambers 24/7, and to top it off, I can't stand drunks. Whether it be in a club, or at the felt, I can't stand 'em. If I get one at the poker table, then on go the sunglasses, up goes the iPod, and in my own merry world I am.

I'm not the biggest fan of these do's with a free bar, but the GUKPT one did provide some entertainment for us who had no interest in getting completely slaughtered (and no, I'm not talking about James (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=186) Dempsey (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=186), that was just an added bonus!) in the form of a Nintendo Wii.

And Snoops...if you're worried because you don't like the parties at your age...imagine how I feel being 22!!

Adam, I apologise now.

End stages of 2nd tourny.

Kinboshi doubles through Dewi with AA.

Next hand Kin pushes with QQ and is called by Adam with AA. Board J Q A K J.

Kin get's it all-in next hand again with AA vs 55. 5 on the flop and 1st aces cracked of the night.

Adam just made a bad deal with Dewi, nm ,but play is over.

It was an awesome night and very enjoyable. Manchester was also enjoyable (even if I did manage to go from hero to zero).

Good company and a few drinks is a monumental combination and must be repeated.
