Censored to protect the innocent ;)
On a serious note, when the forum was migrated to a new version, we sort of lost some posts. They are retrievable if requested so they will be visible again. Just drop Matt a message and he"ll add them to the list of ones to do.
Sorry about that Wayne. Technology hey ?

With all this talk about the Team Championships (I wont be there) I thought I would cheer myself up by planning my schedule for the WCOAP. Since it moved to Stratford I have not played in it so looking forward to playing it. The one game I cannot wait to play is Razz, never played it live so this will be my highlight of the week, what day is it on O wait it's not on the schedule. With the disappointment of the Razz I look to see what else takes my fancy. Horse is the next on my list Wednesday at 2.00 means I will need to take a day off work so I put my request in and it gets rejected due to other staff being off. So on to plan C the main event, Day C is my choice but then the Mrs says I cannot play that day due to other commitments. I also cannot play on the first Saturday so that leaves me with the Sundays, thankfully they is a day 1 on the first Sunday. So the plan is play the main event (Day 1A) then hopefully day 2 and 3 but if I do not make day 2 then I will play the Pot Limit Omaha High/Low.
Good luck to anyone playing in Blackpool, I'm going to miss it, it's the best tournament of the season and it's going to be the first time I"ve missed it for 6 years. YPC was not lucky enough to get in this year.

WCOAP 2017 (Part One)
As already said in previous posts, I was looking forward to playing the WCOAP now it was back up north but due to work and other commitments I was only able to play over the Bank Holiday weekend. The plan was to play the main on the Saturday then if/when out play the Hi/Lo on the Sunday then if/when out jump into the cash game.
In the run up to the WCOAP I played a 25p sat which turned in to a £5 then a £30 and the a £110 seat. I also won a £55 seat with APAT last year which meant that I was freerolling the weekend.
Since it only cost me 25p, the plan was to play the main very loose and build a big stake (which we all try to do) or bust out so I could play the Hi/Low on the Sunday.
The main started and the plan was going well, not getting a stake but on the way to busting. In the first 2 levels I was in a lot of pots but all loosing ones and before I knew it I was down to 14K (20k starting). But more importantly I was playing out of my comfort zone and I was not enjoying it. So I could continue with this strategy which would probable lead to me to busting before the first break or revert to my normal game.
Back in my comfort zone I started to recover very slowly (always behind the average) but feeling like I was in control. I had been in the same seat and with some goings a comings of people, the table settled down and some good banter started to flow. By early evening my chips was still behind the average but I was not in the danger zone when a incident happened.
I had to take a comfort break and on returning to my seat the dealer was still dealing the cards but my first card had already been dealt. Upon sitting down the 1st position player made it 3k and said to me “you are out of this hand” I had not looked yet at my cards, and asked the deal to which he said “you are ok to play as I was still dealing when you sat down” I looked at my cards AQ then went on to call. The other guy then kicked off about this, (everyone else folded). Before the flop he kept on saying this is wrong and I should not be in the hand. The flop came down Ace rag rag, before he made any action I said “to keep things friendly if he checked it down so will I” He did not accept this and fired another 3k. With this I put him on a Ace so unless he had a King I was confident that I was a head. But I still said to him I will check it down if he wanted to, and called his 3k. He then went it to over drive about how I should not be in the hand. Turn was check check, river was a Q now I knew I was miles ahead but he checked and true to my word I checked. He showed A J, when I turned over the A Q he went on and on about how I should not be in the hand and kept on at the dealer that he was wrong. The dealer ask for the floor to confirm the ruling, the TD backed up the dealer by saying I was right to continue with the hand.
The rest of the table could not believe that I checked it down and that I could easily had taken this guy out (which would have boosted my chips considerably) but in the APAT spirit thought that checking it down was the right thing to do. The guy soon quieten down when he got his chips back from another player.
The night continued and I'm still behind the average but had a good read on the table and my chips was on the up, the chat was flowing and I was really enjoying myself. In particular with a young guy in seat one (I'm in seat 4) who had been up and down in chips but had managed to forage ahead and was the table leader. When the dreaded call comes “Next big blind please follow me” which was me, so after 10 levels I had to move table for the last 2 levels of the day.
I didn't know anyone on the new table but after a few hands it was plain to see that they all was trying to see the day out and make day 2. Very little flops was being seen it was either all fold or one raise then all fold. Right from the first hand of the day I was always behind the average but had enough to take through to day 2 with about 75k, however I saw this table as an opportunity to take down the blinds and get over 100k, well that was the plan only the rest of the table didn't see it that way and every time I made a play I got shoved on. As we entered the final 1/2 hour of the day me chips had dwindled down to 50K so it was time to twist or stick. Is 25 big blinds ok for day 2? That was the question I was asking myself, normally I would say yes but with the Hi/Lo the next day (which was a game I really wanted to play) I wasn't sure.
I decided to fold my way to day 2 with the intention of playing fast to chip up or bust so I could play the Hi/Lo. The fly in the ointment was that the Hi/Lo started an hour before day 2 started (with a 2 hour late reg) which gave me just an hour of late reg or a possibility of multi-tabling but don't think that playing a Holdem and a Omaha Hi/Lo at the same time was a good idea.
