Stacked Up - Take Two

[MAIR]

ul guys, was fun to watch you in action

Nice Position on leaderboard there Daniel lol

[Ant1966]

Well played lads.  Just needed a bit of luck at the right time.

Someone teach Tim how to play aces properly though, that was embarrasing.  

Someone teach the "Executioner" full stop.    

Daniel you free?

Seriously, ul guys well played.

Had another great day with the boys and girls down at Sky and with TK as the expert it was bound to be.  We knew exactly what we had to achieve down to the last pound to take down the title and we finished the first session in great shape to do so.

Second session started a bit slow so as we hit the latter stages we knew we had to make some reckless moves in a hope to double up. 

In a 5 minute spell Tim got so unlucky, his pocket A's ran into trip J's and then had a Full House busted by Quad 10's.  :"(

That was about us dead in the water. Made some dumb ass playes in the very death of it in a vain attempt to claw a few % back but it was way too late.

All in all a fantastic experience, one that I hope more APATers will get the opportunity to enjoy.

i know this is competely irrelevent but u boys have got to be gutted it was that clown richard whatever his name is presenting and not the lovely lovely kara scott... that would be worth the experience itself!

oh and tim.. remind me never to take advice from you again! lol

seriously though boys well played

[tikay]

The Boys got well unlucky - me instead of James Browning, & Richard Orford (who"s technically superb) instead of Michelle Orpe, who is, I"m told, well-constructed.

Time constraints mean"t I was unable to do an on-air "summing-up" at the end of the Show, I"m sorry, but TV time is like real-time, it somehow disappears when you most need it.

So I"d just like to say I was incredibly proud of the APAT Team last night. They played, win or lose, with broad smiles, conducted themelves well around the Studio, smiled lots, spoke well, & were generally a great credit to APAT. Even the Scouser.

Seriously, top stuff guys, you are proper APAT-ers.

Great fun to watch guys, and your results don"t show your true performance, as you were very obviously chasing victory and played hands that you wouldn"t normally do. And I am sure Tim would have got away from those aces if he hadn"t been chasing a big win.
By the way who is that Daniel Phillips at the top of the leader board?

[scouse3465]

Thank you all for your kind comments even tikay !!
it was another great day with sky very enjoyable.
Tim said he was nt too bothered about losing with aces cos he got the Michelle s number !!
Daniel Philips is kinboshi mikey.

[Mikeyboy9361]

Thanks Steve, I did know really, I was just trying to be funny! Obviously failed again if a Scouser didn"t laugh!

Thanks Steve, I did know really, I was just trying to be funny! Obviously failed again if a Scouser didn"t laugh!

lol no probs! i was just out of bed !!

[kinboshi]

Top of the leaderboard? How?  That is my only question!

Over 4 x 50 minute sessions, there"s a huge amount of luck.  I didn"t see the show last night, but it sounds like you "went for it" in the same way the blonde team did - and that means you"re taking a risk.  One hand at the end of our second show and our best player lost a £350 pot - the swing in our ROI was obviously huge on that hand.

Scouse - I guess you"d had less to drink than you did in Blackpool at the cash game?

[lukybugur]

He was well behaved (for a Scouser anyway) and looked totally sober. It was shocking!

[Ant1966]

I don"t know if anybody else saw it,but the camera did pan to Steve at one point just as he was stashing a can of some descript under the studio desk!

[scouse3465]

lol thank you all for saying i have a drinking problem !!
well u are all right stella aint enough alcohol in it !!
any way well done daniel!!
roll on london cant wait til see you all again cash or tourney prob cash for me cos cannot win an argument in APAT national lol !!

So that"s what the problem was all along Steve!

[Luke1]

Thanks for the kind messages (except ant!!!!)

Was a good afternoon. We all played quite a tight first half and were in a good postion . the second part of the second half we had to push and unbelievbaly I lost both time with aces. though in fairness I would never of played the first set of aces in the way that I did, if i didnt have to try and get maximum value. though looking back it was a stupid play as I was obviously beaten so I should of laid it down. that coming straight after blackpool, aces could be said to be my unlucky hand. then when i pushed my last £50 with a 10 i got called by aces and they held!

anyway, was really good fun, enjoyed the experience and recommend it to anyone. have been in touch with michelle since and I am aiming to teach her how to play poker properly  

see most of you in london, should be a good weekend!
