felt sorry for her last night - there were so many multi-way all ins with side pots (two side pots several times) and she was feeling the strain real bad.

[HOLDorFOLD]

Back at home now and getting ready to rail, bit of tea first

Sirloin steak with a pepper sauce, home made chips and a side salad with home made French Mustard dressing, a couple of NFL"s and I will be at the laptop for 6.30

yuuummmmmmm (except the salad, PAH).  

Thanks to Des, Tight and Leigh.   It was my first APAT and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  More importantly it was a great opportunity to learn a few "live rules" in a friendly environment.

I learn"t, and listen up as this is MOST important ..... you MUST add the extra 25chip to any raise if first to enter a pot (from now on to be known as InTheBelly25).  If you want others to pass it has to be an extra 25  


Great updates Tighty and the gang (those pesky kids).

First deep stack tourney, first live game with Antes, most enjoyable (cannot comment on structure as I have nothing to compare it with but hey it seemed good to me).
