Well done Davey, can"t believe you cashed and I didn"t you absolute luckbox
Was that the hand when I was behind you? If it was the guy who folded his BB is an APAT member too. You"re lucky he didn"t call with his whatever and bink you!
Oh well, I think I exited around 70th. I was coasting through the first couple of hours of play. I was on a table with The Healer and managed to cripple him (AK vs A9) then knock him out (KK vs 88) - sorry for that, lol. This combined with opening up fairly wide after the first level helped me shoot up to over 18k but then a bunch of ill timed steals and bluffs knocked me back down to average for a while then as the blinds go up I"m at push/fold stage. First hand after the dinner break at the 100/400/800 level I have around 11bbs when a pretty active and loose raiser raises x3.5 so I ship it in over him and he calls. My JJ vs his AQ and he binks the A on the flop. When a mate starts shouting for a diamond that arrives on the river I think for a second I four-flush the guy only to realise his A of diamonds beats my J of diamonds
It wasn"t to be though and said guy was hitting absolutely everything all day when flipping or behind so I didn"t expect any different once the chips were in
Overall I had a really good day. Wish they had more events of this size and structure north of the border. It was my first time in the Alea and it was a really great casino, by far the plushest i"ve been to in the UK i"d say. In fact, the toilets were of better quality than some other UK casinos gaming floors
After the success of this event I hope the Alea will be up for consideration for the Scottish leg of the APAT tour in S5
It was good to put some faces to the forum names and I did indeed, as pointed out by Geo, forget my mask and nunchucks but luckily I didn"t need them while at the casino although I could"ve maybe done with them on the walk to the casino but that"s another story
Thanks again to the organisers for a thoroughly enjoyable day.
