Title: APAT Welsh Amateur Poker Championship 2012: Live Update
Post by: TightEnd on May 25, 2012, 09:03:44 AM
APAT has been to the G Casino in Cardiff three times, in Seasons 1-3

Champions there have been Lee Mulligan, Tim Magnus and Simon Auckland

This weekend we are back to Cardiff Bay, tearing ourselves away from the Doctor Who Exhibition, and finding a new APAT Welsh Champion.

Who will be dancing with the stars this weekend?

and who will be in the bar with Paulline D after about an hour?

First.

My pick to win is............................

Steve Redfern

Reckon he will be pumped after getting the England Captains job and really want to put in a good display in this one which might just give him an edge.

Good luck to all players, especially the Welsh players.

First prize will be £2,750

This will leave a modest profit, after allowing for the cost of entering the country over the Severn Bridge, should an Englishman win it

My money would be on a Welsh winner though. Probably APAT's most successful nation, team championship winners, riding high in the National Online League hunting Scotland down...Darren Shallis, Rudders senior and Junior, Roderick, MacGuinness, Steve Harrison, Allyson James, Warren Jones, David Llewellyn, all very capable of winning this

Dan Owston is here too.

Evan Humphries raises

Richard Rudders flats with Q-Q

flop Q-10-3 flop, two clubs

Rudders check raises a c-bet and is called

turn 9

Rudders leads, Humphries raises, Rudders all in

Humphries dwell calls with K-K, overpair and a gutshot

river 10 to double the old fella up and felt Humphries

Rudders junior has just been involved in a big pot, with most of his stack finding the middle

I caught the action on a flop of

9c Qc 9d

First to act checks

Rudders raises to 750, at blinds 75-150

Dai Llewellyn folds

First to act re-raises to 1500

Rudders junior re-raises to 2475

Call

The turn is the tasty  Kc

Check

Check

The river brings the draw filling  Jh

First to act checks

Rudders pushes 1700 in, keeping around 5k back

First to act re-pops all in, for all of Rudders chips.

The young Welshman folds, showing the  9h, his opponent flashes  9s Js for the house.

Shallis raises with Aces.....

Not much point continuing really



He manages to get Thorne all in with 9-7 on 8-7-3, and Aces hold


What do you reckon? He has a Jedi mind trick to convince opponents he hasn"t got it?

Graham Gorton raises

Richard King calls in the big blind with  Kd 8d

(Tighty"s rule number 1 completely ignored by King. How foolish)

3d 8s 10d

King checks

Gorton bets 1,100

King raises to 2,200

all in and call

Gorton with Aces

King misses turn and river and is out and Gorton is challenging for the chip lead

I have just asked for the Eurovision Song Contest to be shown on Cardroom TVs tonight

The method in my madness is that it will drive players to go all in in circumstances where they might normally not do so, thus reducing the number opf players coming back tomorrow and thus meaning I have a shorter day before going home tomorrow night

Big pot, biggest I ahve seen today

David Langley, Allyson James and Phil Hall


Hall raises, Langley re-raises, James flats in the big blind

Hall calls

K-8-8

James check calls a lead from Hall and a call from Langley

turn 9

checked to Langley who shoves his last 10,000 into a 70,000 pot

James calls all in

Hall makes a pretty remarkable over-call to two all ins (presumably on pot size) with Queens

Langley has A-K

He is very surprised to be ahead when called twice, James has J-J

A-K holds, 90,000 pot to Langley. James out and Hall rueful.

Grant Spiers out first hand in the Omaha  >:(


Any details.. Sounds like it must of been a fun hand for the chips to go all in first hand.


I didn"t see it but I understand it was boat over boat.

In the meantime I lose 1k to Mark Lassman with AA vs AA and he bluffs me on a 3 heart board.


Thanks.. Gl run well

Simon Griffin double up through Mark Porter

Griffin shove 50,000 cut off K-Jo

Porter calls big blind 5-5

Porter holds, holds holds until a Jack falls on the river


21 left, average stack 87,000 so just over 20x bb

Vast majority of stacks under pressure here, and its flip city as we are seeing in the posts above

Well the Omaha was turbo fun.

Mark Lassman (my nemesis) couldn"t put down monster wrap to my bare KK shove...the fish.

Just as the muzak starts playing Mike & The Mechanics" "All I Need Is A Miracle".

I did need one but it didn"t come.

Couldn"t have given my chips to a nicer bloke.

Meantime, back at the ME, Tighty is up and down out of his chair like a rat up a drainpipe every time there is even a sniff of the bubble bursting.

On your marks.

Unlucky Matt. Played some great poker over the last couple of days.

On a side note...a random young gentleman (first time APATer?) just came up to Tighty and thanked him (and APAT of course) for putting on such a great event with a great structure and level of play.

See, there are still people out there who don"t know about APAT and we should do everything to encourage them to be on board.

Back home in Glasgow after another awesome APAT weekend. Never got going, and even when I attempted to seemed to run into bigger hands all the time. In addition, playing like a donk to try and get my stack up again was never a sensible thing to do  :D Thanks to my fellow travelling Scots Chas & Jamie Kearns for their company and to everyone across the weekend who made it another to remember.

Congratulations to Andrew on his great win, superb run from JP for runner up spot and well done to everyone else who cashed. T In The Park same weekend as Cork, so look forward to seeing you all again in Nottingham  8)

Congrats to Andrew, VUL JP I was certain this was yours.

Had some laughs reading back the thread; the Tighty updates are a massive part of what makes the APAT weekends so much fun whether you"re playing or railing from afar. Badly missed in Coventry.

Won"t be attending Cork, so hopefully see you all again at DTD.

Well done to everyone, have to give a special mention to Andrew Duncan for his hanging on so well with his extremely long fingernails in the face of such adversity and JP for playing ever so well in the second table out and being the bridesmaid, also of course to Tighty for the outstanding work he does at these events.

Thanks to the team, as usual, for another great weekend!

Bubbled the Omaha, so went over to see what the fuss was about in the SnG corner. Such fun! Dealer"s Choice where Hold "em never got a look in, and then 6-card Omaha Hi/Low. Very amusing. Felt very bad because we assumed we"d be done before the end of the main event so we could rail at the end. Oops!

Well done to all the medal winners! JP - your time will come!

Thanks to APAT for staging a tournament in such an awesome location.

The whole weekend was fun. The locals were all friendly and the staff efficient and polite.

Best part of the weekend though was putting a few more names to faces playing 6 card hi/lo.

Well worth the expense of travelling.

See you in Notts!

I can only re-iterate what others have said before, Sunday night 6 card omaha hi/lo was amazing fun, cashing in the Omaha was unexpected, and the smiles on everyones faces said it all to me.

Many congrats to all the winners and cashers, now, the long wait for myself until Glasgow!

Thought so! I got moved into Seat 1 aroud level 3, then if I"ve remembered you correctly we both got moved to the same table and I bust you when you tossed a coin to decide whether or not to shove with A9? and I was fortunate enough to wake up with AK.

If I"ve got you right then i hope you play many more APATs

Will definately be back.
