I was the last player out last night before the end of play in 46th after my JJ getting beaten for a second time that night leaving me short stacked and ALL IN with 22 on my BB - was called and 3 others also went all in revealing AA AQ and A10 - the straight won it in the end. :( Big apologies if I miss anyone from this list - from memory i believe that the PL players that we had were: Lou Saban JarJar Danarama Runadrum Burnley Joe Teaulc Money Ivey Prowler Jeffster Sir Fish Pie Pocket Lady Ther were 8 of us wearing PL shirts including our entourage cheering us on in the wings- :notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy Big Andy AvonGirl Mike (moustache) Saban Mr V Staffy LocoLady Thank you for your support guys/gals -you made my night being there. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocket Lady Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Re: apat live tourney birmingham A big thank you to Des and Tony for a fantastic day and event-:cow:cow:cow A well structured tourney starting stack 10,000 with blinds starting at 25-50 and 40 minute levels. Each player that went out had a round of applause that must have been embarrassing for the 1st one out but everyoscottishne else was used to it by the time they went out- I look forward to trying to get into the Welsh/Scottish events. The Broadway can only be descibed as a "classy" establishment that was hosted well - the casino endevours to look after a party/event and I doubt that I would be the only one to say what an enjoyable day/night I had in comfortable surroundings. :ok They have a large lounge area with the days sports on various screens- great for get togethers with a food counter for parties, a large restaurant, 2 bars, a good sized casino floor and a decent sized card room (a little squashed for 120 people but plenty of room for 50-90). Thanks Des :notworthy Thanks Tony :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant23 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Re: apat live tourney birmingham I'm really really jealous of all the players who could play, but in what was a very long tournament I think that APAT maybe under estimated the amount of railbirds who maybe would have enjoyed playing side games. They started the cash tables up at about 9.30, which meant for those who had been there all day railing, such as Mike, BA and Avon it must have been a long day. I think that provision for STT's at future APAT events must be considered. Even though this is a small observation, and certainly not a criticism on what has been a very well organised tournament. I didn't hear a bad word said about the organisation or the setup, so credit to all at APAT. :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :hope a PLer will bring it home today.

jeffster Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Re: apat live tourney birmingham I went out 97th.... Having lost a fair amount of chips from my stack of 16,500 when my full house (9's over my pocket fours) was bested by 9's over kings, my final hand in the tourney played out like this : A guy goes all in... I look down at pocket kings, so push all in for 5,200 Another guy calls us both... First guy turns over Ace 10.... I turn over my pocket kings... The third guy turns over pocket queens... There is a Queen on the flop, so I am now behind to trip queens... The turn is a king, so my trip kings are now in front... The river is a queen ! So, my trip kings are beaten by quad queens !:wall:wall:wall I thoroughly enjoyed the tourney, not least of all bevcause of the company of the other PLers there, who were all a great bunch ! :nana:drums:nana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaban Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Re: apat live tourney birmingham Hi all, well where do I start ? it was great fun, again, to meet up with and be in the company of so many PL'ers, it cant be good for my health, enjoying myself that much :beer Got to say thanks to B.A and AvonGirl for the company early on, we must have spent several hours in each others company on the wrong side of the rail, but it was all good :ok The PL shirts stood out a mile, this is exactly what I imagined when I posted about them being sorted out ages ago, so once again, nice one DP, job done :clap Morls - got to apologise to you for rambling on, on the phone, I only got worse mate. From a railers point of view, I thought the APAT organisation looked spot on and was very friendly and well organised.I actually thought the appaulding of a player when knocked out, was a nice touch, and just proved the friendly tone. Hopefully the guys still in will be able to post their success storys on this thread a bit later. We walked into the casino to be met with..."Its the Sabans - but only one of you is playing !!!!" The jokes didnt stop, thanks mainly to teaulc -thanks mate - your time will come :moon ( glad your lads ok btw), but later I said to DesD that if they were short I was willing to help them out and step in, he briefly raised my hopes, by telling me 3 people at that time hadnt turned up and there was a reserve list - unfortunatley I'd be the 4th person on it - typical. My only whinge - is that I was disapointed to see the casino staff, what looked like, hassling Sam (Pocket Lady ) over ID several hours into the tournament, whilst she was playing which I didnt think fair - either sort it before or at the break, but whilst playing is not on, in my opinion. APATs Des, Richard and Tikay all took the time to speak to me, as did PokerPlayers Dave Woods, I enjoyed the conversation and meeting you guys. As Mr V as mentioned, we didnt get a side game going for ages, but once it started, it took Lou some time dragging me away. Pot Limit holdem £1/2 blinds, minimum £25 to sit down - which later raised to £50. Had some banter with some of the London Poker meetup guys on here, they were a good bunch, although probably not too impressed with my 94o which made me a few quid, after raising preflop and then again despite AK on the flop - although they were callin with 52o - so we both as bad as each other. No complaints though, they were nice guys. Once the broadway requlars started sitting down when the money raised, I quickly made myself public enemy number one, with a guy who had about 3 grand in £50 notes in his pocket, after I called him a fish after he called me to the river catching one of fours outs to give him a straight and busting my two pair to take a pot of approx £250. Several battles followed, I'm not sure he was a good player, but he was very succesful as he did a good job of taking most peoples chips, which........... he then gave to me, Lou finally dragged me off the table, when I was over £200 up in profit, after the weekends expenses. Once again, a good day out - some pics to follow. Cheers Mike PS MoneyIvey the website we discussed is www.thepokerdb.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
