Well finally got round to reading the update, Richard ,Kev and their able assistant Jane worked like Trojans, bringing an interesting slant on things.
Thanks of course all that railed me both online including Bainn and Harmony and Those there live,the whole crowd seemed to be behind me.
Pity the poker Gods weren"t up to speed.
But in the end I was gutted, I had decided to be aggresive in this one, and it nearly paid off, specially coming back fron 28000 chips when we were down to five the others holding the best part of 1,500,000 between them.
When we got to heads up, I felt it was gonna be my day, but boy was he tough,he would not get involved and was playing the long game( Think he thought i was tireing) but i had my eye on the big prize and continued aggression was my plan.
It wasn"t to be, and no matter how you cut it, i do"nt like being second,but hay ho them"s the breaks.
I"m right behind APAT and all it stands for, and I know the team have lots planned for next season.
The Fitz staff and dealers were as professional and helpful as you know Dubliners will be.
My lasting memory of our weekend at APAT Dublin,is all the time I spent with friends old and new.
Dewi for keeping me in the pub................Those JD"s went down well mate.
Geo the Sarge/and son,for lifting me in and out of those said pubs.
All the other guys I spent time drinking with.
Danial, sorry bout the A9, but you must have known, you must never mess with my blinds.
Special word for Kev and Jane,who without any coersion, kept a quiat eye on me, and Kev and me got very close lifting me into the nemeros taxi"s we needed.
Ironside also stayed in the same hotel................not himself this time, stay well mate.
And of cousre to old grandad,who yet again said some lovely,heartfelt things when introducing the final table. These words mean a lot to me.
