And behind door number 24 is............................




Des "APAT" Duffy

Where do I start ?

Des has a passion for poker, the players and making sure APAT is done right.  If you don"t believe me, make time to talk to him at the next APAT event you are at, because I guarantee he will make time to talk to you.

Bear in mind though he will be running around with video camera in one hand, digital camera over his shoulder, giving the National trophy and medals a quick polish and rumour has it even stepping out back to prepare the buffet. (Is there no end to this man"s talent)

Well apparentely there is, as if you are looking for him, I suggest you don"t bother searching near the bar.   ;D

You must be prepared for his post-tournament interviews.  They can go something like this :-

DesD: So, Player X, you"ve just gone out of the tournament on the cash bubble, talk us through your exit hand.


Player X: Well Des, I was dealt  ac kc in the big blind and the small blind made the blinds up.  We saw a flop of  9c 7c :3c: so I bet out and the small blind shoved all in.  I obviously called, although he had me covered and the small blind showed  7s :2d:.  Happy days I thought until the turn was  7d and the river was    :2h:.


DesD: Wow, that"s unlucky.


Player X: Well actually Des, my chipstack was really crippled with the hand played before that one.  I was dealt  kd kc and raised it up.  The big blind called my raise.  The flop came down  ad kh ks.  I bet out, the big blind raised.  I reraised, the big blind shoved all-in.  I call with three quarters of my stack in the middle.  He shows  ac qc.


DesD: Quad Kings, that"s fantastic.


PlayerX: It was until the turn showed  :as: and the river was  ah


DesD:  Oh, now please don"t cry.  You"ve had a good time, haven"t you ?


;D

The driving force behind APAT - without the efforts of this man, amateur poker would still be in the dark ages.

Respect, Des.

You know me, on the ball, nothing else to do at 1:30 in the morning.   ;D

I must admit, the APAT video and picture archives have become a close friend of mine over the past month.   ;D
