From an APAT point of view, the last week in personal terms have been damn good. First medal, bronze in the team event, first cash in a live event, even though it was 17th, I know I played damn bloody well, and if not running QQ into AA, I"m certain I could have gone deeper.
Then, because of work, I only managed to play 2 events in the online series, the PLO HL which went badly, and the main event, as well as the league game. I managed a 2nd in the league game, which initially I was slightly disappointed as I had a 3:1 chiplead HU, but by that stage I was down to the last 4 in the main event, and because I was really concentrating on the ME, I was chipped away solidly, then managed to run 99 into KK. That gives me 44 points ( I think from 3 or 4 weeks only) and a chance to get a bit of added value after next weeks game.
In the ME, I eventually went from 4/4 in chips to 1/4 after a good series of hands, eventually getting HU with Matt Carter, and managed to bink a river A8 vs A10 to take the win for my first gold. To say I was thrilled is a complete understatement, and as Leigh put it, what an APAT week for me!

Getting to HU in both events last night is an awesome achievement.
Well done on gold.

Just want to say thanks to everyone either on here or elsewhere sending me congrats etc for last weekend. It"s very much appreciated :)
I think I"ve played just 4 of the online league games so far, so to sit 7th with an outside ( very much outside) chance of finishing as one of the top individual performers. In one sense it has helped in a weird way that the NW team hasn"t a chance of a top 3 finish.
The online main events have been pretty good to me, I"m sitting 2nd overall which I"m obviously very happy with!
Weekend off, no real plans, just watching the footy now, then an afternoon of small stakes mtt grinding on stars.
Tomorrow will literally be waiting for the league game. Taking things easy this weekend as I"ve only one more day off before Xmas!

Only ended up playing 4 tournies as I am fairly tired at the moment, and I think concentrating on more would"ve been tough.
Managed 3rd in the $3.30 HORSE ( my ROI must be fairly decent in that), as well as a 7th in a $8.80 500 max mtt. Big thanks to Grant, Tom and Rodders for the rail, helping me focus from 14 left onwards, where I could literally have shoved my micro stack at any time... as there were people watching, I ground it out more than I usually would, which probably made me another $80 or so.
I don"t have a specific bankroll, as I play for the enjoyment more than anything, but at the moment, things are healthy :)
