Title: August/September live backing SOLD OUT
Post by: amcgrath1uk on July 25, 2013, 20:32:35 PM
Hi all, I"m looking for backing in 4 tournaments in August:

It"s fair to say I had a pretty decent season 6 with APAT. Won the online rankings, picked up 3 medals in total on the year ( 2 gold, 1 bronze).
APAT Cardiff ME - £75 + £7.50 SEAT RESERVED
APAT UK Omaha - £50 + £5 BOUGHT IN ONLINE
APAT UK 6 max -  £50 + £5 BOUGHT IN ONLINE
APAT UK ME     - £100 + £10 SEAT RESERVED

Total buy in £302.50

I"m selling up to 50% at 1.15:

5% = £17.50
10% = £35
etc

My hendon mob is: http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=126202

I"m looking for cash or bank transfer ONLY for the above stake.  APAT's 1% fee will be calculated and taken from the pot before the pot is divvied according to percentage staked.

As a separate, I"ll also be offering a stake in my GPS Stoke seat with no mark up. I won this seat for winning the online rankings, and as a thankyou, will be offering 50% of it to APAT members only. 20% of this has already gone, so 30% remaining, and I will only be selling this in 5% blocks.

5% = £22

This can be paid for in either cash before the event ( or bank transfer) or by stars transfer only. Again APAT's 1% fee will be calculated and taken from the pot before the pot is divvied according to percentage staked.

Please inidicate APAT, GPS or both

Thanks in advance

APAT

It is. Carl and I have agreed 10% of each other, and Steve and myself had come to an agreement whilst at the wcoap dependent on who topped the online rankings.

Cardiff was a bit of a blow out as most know however, if you didn"t, AA < 65 and JJ < A5 did for me....

Finished 7th in the Omaha yesterday for £140, chipped up early making a very dodgy call ( but I believed I was right and was), was comfy until we got down to 14, managed a full double up vs Steve Redfern to ensure I entered the bubble period in decent shape, then 1st hand of the bubble lost KKxx v AAxx. Final table was completely card dead, first time I decide to raise with 33AK, knowing I"m going to be pretty committed, Leon 3 bets, I shove, and he calls as expected with KKxx... 1st card out was a 3....river is a 6 giving Leon"s xx cards a straight. No complaints from me, great structured tournament and learnt a hell of a lot playing against some good Omaha players.

6 max in a couple of hours is one I"m really looking forward to :)

6 max didn"t start well, down to 3k just before the 1st break. Get up to a height of 30k, and eventually knocked out 50th ish, utg raised, I shoved 77 and the sb wakes up with QQ.

Roll on tomorrow!!

First off an apology for how long it"s taken me to get on here. The only time I"ve actually had time to post on here, the site was down. A combination of phone issues, internet issues, working too much and the last few days being ill really topped things off.

Nottingham Main Event

Started badly, with me hitting turned trips, that gave Chen Tam a straight, then 2 pair losing to 2 pair. Dwindled right down to 3k just before the 1st break, then doubled up QQ v 77. Doubled up again, then started playing tight aggressive poker, and managed to build back up to approx 30k. Then lost 2 pair vs trips and ended up losing a standard flip with AQ.

GPS Stoke

Depsite having Ali Mallu on my table, I"ve got to say I felt extremely comfortable, even after seeing him 3 bet pre in level 1 to 1700 with J2...Managed to find a comfy fold with QQ after a KKJ flop, she showed JJ. From the button, it was folded to me, I raise with QQ at 150/300 to 750, very tight lady in bb 3 bets to 1700, I wanted to keep control of this, so 4 bet to 4k, and she instaships... I sigh fold and show. Even though it cost be 20% of my stack at the time, it worked out well, as I started to get much more respect. Not once did I lose a hand at showdown for the next 2 levels, and got back up above starting and towards the heady height of 40k. I picked up a hand against Ali Mallu which I"m still not sure of the right play, on his bb at 200/400 I raise to 1k with KK, he 3 bets his bb to 4k! First decision is what to do... the last thing I want to do is lose him in the pot so I call... flop K J 3 rainbow, again decision time after he checks, I donk bet 6k looking not interested, and he tank folds sigh...

Moved tables at this point as we broke up, got onto what looked a fairly loose table looking at the chip stacks, 1st go round that"s pretty confirmed. So when I"ve 3 bet with AK and 4 bet shoved on for 30k-ish I"m calling all day, 1st card Q, down to 10k. Less than 5 mins later, there"s an UTG raise, I see AK so shove what I have left, and Ben Jackson calls from late position with KK and it"s all over.

So the GPS returns are 0 unfortunately, and the APAT returns are £140.

That leaves us with:

Me £70
Glenn £28 PAID
Adam £14 PAYING CASH
Stu £14 PAID
Suzanne £7 PAID
Sean £7 PAID

Can return by bank transfer/stars just let me know which is preferable. And a big thanks for your trust and patience :)
