GUKPT Luton: The Final

[iDumb]

Keith, no need to apologise, these things happen in poker – you too got unlucky with the 7’s!  It was a great pleasure playing with you and meeting Alex, who I understand may even help our daughter out at DTD - thanks in advance for that one.

Thanks to Joe and Carlo, both of whom offered very supportive comments throughout. Thanks also to all those who bothered to watch, (get a life guys!),  the brilliant live stream, on thenutz.tv for their extremely kind comments and texts throughout both the final and indeed afterwards - especially to those of you who told me to "keep my pecker up" after the A/T vs K/6 coup!

To Neil, you are a very worthy champion - it was a scary pleasure playing with you both Saturday evening and on Sunday. Thanks also for your text subsequently.

To Mr Hyde, expunge the Mr Jekyll, you don't need him!

Thanks too to all the guys at my local Luton Casino - it's where I played my first every tourny, (coming up against a wily old Willie Tann who told me to stop staring at him as I would never get a read!), and still play regularly. You guys did a terrific job putting up with all of us - one request though - please burn the tape about the dress code - man that was bad!!!!!

Special thanks also to Phil, (you are the NUTZ), my Mum now thinks she’s famous given all the mentions she got! Also to all the bloggers who did, as always, a tremendous job keeping everyone updated - and apologies again to the poor misfortunate lady who had me in the press sweep - if I catch up with you again in Blackpool, this time, please draw my wife, you'll probably have a better chance!

As to me, talk about being crazy – given that I do this for “fun”, I put in 5 hours yesterday afternoon at my usual meshuganah RoE game in Borehamwood, went to see the AWFUL flick, Knight & Day with my kids, (GIVE IT A MISS!!!), and then played in a £1/£2 at Stanmore with my Mrs until 3am this morning - I think I need seeing too! Am off this evening for a well earned rest in Spain – no poker for three weeks – heaven!!!

Chomps

And to the Official Updaters, who were paid, though not much.....

Tighty (Days 1a & 1b)

Adrian (all 4 days).

And to their aides & helpers.....

Mrs Rockstar (especially after Ade's M C Hammer jibe).

Family Drainy.

I'll arrange for a small "thank you" to Mr & Mrs Adrian, & the Drainy Clan, when I'm next at Luton.

Hopefully, we can repeat this "model" at a future GUKPT - maybe Brighton, where presumably Flushy & Co will be much in evidence. I'll tap Flushy up next time we speak for an opening donation.

Hey I think Addy is getting bad press! I played that WPT satelitte and rivered the nuts against him with 67, blind on blind, he had the low strt and only flat called me.....his chat may be grating, but he knows how to play the game and it was pretty clear from an early stage that he was gonna win that seat...I went out in 8th 4 paid, ran KK into AA would have taken me 2nd in chips! Also spoke to George Achillea and his friend Marco about Addy they say he has a great record at the International/gutshot and is a specialist at winning satelittes...so altho his conduct vs Chompy was some what questionable...I heard it directly from the dealers mouth...he said it was really bad...Addy is a decent poker player!

[Chompy]

LOLZ, no way Pete!
Ade was a big fish in a small pond at the Gutshot, along with Sven, Ghandi and George Achillea himself. The standard there was always pretty poor when I was a reg. That would be around five years ago to eight years ago I guess.
He is a very ordinary player imo and highly card dependant. Not saying that because of that disgraceful move he pulled in the GUKPT. Always thought as much. All bluster, no substance. And a cheat.

VERY VERY MUCH THIS!

There are some great players to have come from gutshot, (Nik Persaud, Laurence Houghton etc) but unfortunately Ade isn't one of them. He's VERY dependant on cards and has a very abc style.

I watched Ade for much of the first two days(not through choice but the verbals draw you in to see if the mouth can back up the ability)and then on day 3 and the final i was aware of 90% of his hands as i was an official updater.

He was, as has been stated, reliant on cards when in a showdown situation.He wasn't doing anything special and ran like god to get where he did.

Regardless of any of it,he is a crass buffoon who on any other day wouldn't have been as fortunate to get away with overstepping the mark as many times as he did.
Not sure if I'm in Chompy`s camp with the out and out cheating view,but its supreme angle shooting at worst and is typical of what Ade is capable of on a regular basis it appears.

I would not be able to stomach this man on any level,should i be unfortunate enough to have him as a regular in my cardroom.

As in life,you never know just who your talking to/sitting next to,and the level of abuse Ade dished out made my eyebrows raise on more than one occasion,in many other situations it was fighting talk,ive seen people come to serious blows over much much less.

I had a responsibility to Blonde that weekend,on any other day Ade was getting it over what he said to my misses,end of.

Ade takes away a shallow "result".I hope he chokes on the money,justice was not served on that final day.But what goes around will surely come around for this total arse IMO.
