Just back from my first APAT.  Brilliant tournament, fantastic atmosphere, great laugh, would thoroughly recommend it.  Fair play to all the casino staff and APAT organisers for a great event.  Hope Niall has managed to have at leat one pint of Guinness by now.  Good luck to all those still in, special mention for Matt McKinley and Derrick Andrews who were on my table when I went out.  Hope one of you can go all the way.

Welcome back to Luton. Some early birds are milling around

I had the perfect morning. Up at 9am to Coach my son"s football game. Felt tired.

Referee a no show. I volunteer myself.

Ten minutes into the game it starts tipping down, horizontal rain, wind and believe it or not I felt tired.

Get through match. Get changed. Refereee turns up assuming it is a 1pm kick off. Get soaked on way to car.

Drive to casino, currently sitting in steaming trousers trying to catch up. Feeling tired.

Hi All

It was my first event yesterday, and what a great day it was...so well organised and the structure was great!! Unfortunately i only made it to around 80th - went all in with short stack and only around 8 bb"s with QQ, SB also went all in as had around the same stack with AK and obviously the A hit on the turn.

That aside i am pretty happy with most of my play throughout the day - Think the worst bit about the whole day was west ham chucking away a 2 nil lead, but i have come to expect that nowadays.

Any enough off me, good luck to the remaining 32 players, I hope there is at least one player from my original table in the remaining 32 - i was on table 11 all day in seat 4 !!

Cheers
Jon

Good afternoon Tighty. I will be railing from home today as I have felt awful from about 8pm last night and my blowout exit didn"t help things. Still had a great time and will enjoy it from home thanks to you and the team.

My boks picks for today are:

Brian Martin
I like to see him win it just for the smile.

Kev Smith
"cos he"s Scottish you know.

John Murray
Great guy and great player - overdue an APAT win.

Gordon McArthur
Just so I can stop calling him the best APAT player never to have won an APAT event.  

Silke Burghardt
For her HU performance v England and...... [edit]

Leigh Wiltshire
top bloke and what greater reward than an APAT gold for all his efforts over the season

Andrew Duncan
top bloke and solid poker player

Brendan Byrne
Had a very bad run in the team event and would love to see him make up for it with a win today

I think we are in for a classic!
