Another bunch of APAT experiences................Alan Lake"s loose aggressive maniac style on my first (and only) table. Very entertaining to watch if you"re not on the receiving end. I can see how he builds some big stacks................. playing alongside Jack Prime for my entire tournament, but not his (well done Jack).................playing cash against the locals who made Alan look tight - eg bet £50 PF UTG, folded around, win £2 and show Q4; eg2 Flop 779, WASP bets £5, I call with K9, local raises all-in for £90, WASP calls with T7, I fold, local shows K2...................the bra that ended up in the room Dave Green, Colin O"P & I were sharing.................Dave being rubbed down by the dealer for folding double-suited Kings preflop but then winning the Omaha (almost the dream final with Colin coming 3rd).................... playing limit (not pot-limit) Omaha high-low for a couple of hours with Leigh W, Paul McG, Colin O"P, Dave G, Brendan B and Dai who came second in the PLO with Dave raising/reraising every street without looking at his cards and showing down the best hand nearly every time. Even when Brendan scooped a big pot with A4 on a 235xx board, Dave turned over his cards and found A4 to split the scoop............. putting the cards away and discovering the A of Spades had been in the box all the time and we had played with 51 cards.................breakfast on Paul McG today after he had made a quick bet passing the roulette table and won £175................
A few of the regulars were missed though, both for the craic and in the overall standard of play. I hope a venue with greater capacity is found for next year.
