rosco Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Re: APAT: Details of Scottish Amateur Poker Championship Well My Venture to Scotland Didnt Last Long. I bombed out after about an hour and a half. Went out after a couple of callers and a raise of 5 times my Big blind. I pushed all in for 3,500 with AK and was eventually called by 99 which stood up. had recently lost 5000 to quad jacks Didnt play well to be honest. Swampter is out and so is Dan Dan no idea how Burnley Joe or MCFC are doing, but Good luck check the Blog out, http://www.apat.com/Blog.html Punters lounge got a mention.
