seats for APAT available ???

[londonpokergirl]

Went to The Vic, and like Silo, enjoyed the day overall. Went out in 18th....but Mel was still in, well stacked

As he said, only 2 out of 6 starting tables had dealers....the reason given by the Manager was short notice and that having this event sandwiched between the EPT and the upcoming GUKPT meant he couldn't rota on dealers.

Completely agree it needs a 150/300 level. We seem to go from playing Poker to a bit of an all in fest.

Never saw or heard about any Buffet...but maybe I went out too early!

Everyone was really friendly, and it was played in a nice atmosphere.....apart from one guy who thought it was a WSOP final table!!, and threw a complete strop by throwing his chips everywhere and storming off,.... when his Queens lost to Mel's Ace King....LOL

lol yeah that was a double of Phil Hellmuth  

48 runners at the Vic, to add to the no buffet (apparently all sandwiches and soft drinks are free), all self dealt until about 1.5 hours into the game when they moved a table to a dealer table .  Last 2 tables were dealer dealt though which kept it the same speed so was good

One thing I encountered was that a friend of mine, who writes for my magazine (out november, selfless promotion) was refused entry by Joe the cardroom manager, who told him that he couldn't play as he was a pro, however he couldn't understand that he writes articles for poker magazines.  He had also brought his girlfriend to play the event with him.  Thought that Des might like to use that information as poker is not his sole living as he runs a company.

I was impressed I won a seat though   finished 3rd took a bad beat but hey its poker

Mel - this is on the APAT web site - not sure if its relevant?  It may be seen that poker and running a poker mag are like section b?


For the avoidance of doubt, Membership of the Amateur Poker Association & Tour is not available to any individual who earns his or her SOLE income as a result of a) playing poker or b) utilising their poker expertise to supplement their poker income away from the table, for example, a professional poker player who also earns a fee as a TV poker analyst.

Thanks for info but no, he is solely interviewer and writes articles of gossip in a whole load of magazines, also runs his own company and I could have gone blue in the face with arguing but it was just not worth the hassle.  Once "The Vic" has spoken pretty much f**ked

Was gr8 to meet you bhoywonder, you going next month? I hope I do better then heehee

would love to mair

great structure,felt very professional,thats a change for me...lol


You done ok,your 10J was very well played and you got paid off....but you also ran into a donkey if i remember right

my bro was well chuffed to be sitting next to phill starrs and he eventually knocked my bro out but no complaints


now wheres that chapter on dealing with donkey calling stations.....lol

Thx hun, yes I had half my stack in the pot, he went all in after the flop and my 1k bet, I had to call it my KK against his QJ with a Q83 rainbow flop, he showed QJ and I was ahead until a J on the turn card, I was gutted, I sat for a good hour after that before playing another hand, just to calm down and get past it.

You were sitting opposite Phil's wife btw so you both were sitting beside Starr's

Cya next month in Edinburgh
