Dear That
I see you are a man of few words. I feel that you have something you wish to express but perhaps you are shy about other people knowing how you feel. Sometimes it is better not to be the strong silent type. As a way of getting things off your chest, I suggest that you start keeping a diary. That way, you can let out all the feelings that are inside you without worrying that anyone else is going to read it.

Dear John
I am very excited to be playing another Live APAT event soon, however, at my last outing I managed to get stuck to the poker table. This has caused me some trepidation and wondering how to avoid such mishaps come August.
Any advice?

Dear John,
Is it true you once folded QQ pre flop face up in an APAT event v 85o?

Dear Stuart
Thank you for your question. It is true that I once (and only once) folded QQ pre-flop in an APAT event. I have folded QQ pre-flop 4 times in live tournaments that I can remember, once incorrectly. I wish I had folded it a few more times. In the hand in question, I had raised UTG and another player reraised. My initial reaction was not to fold, but the reason I did so was not because he had reraised, but the size of his bet. It was not huge in relation to my raise, but it was substantial in proportion to his stack and I concluded that his bet was sized with a view to getting the stacks in by the end and, therefore, that he was already holding a bigger pair than mine. Unfortunately for this player, he could have gained more chips but he gave away his hand strength by his bet size and the ants in his pants. As a result of this bullet-dodging fold, I went on to make the final table of that tournament while the other player didn"t. I remember this player well, mainly because of his unusual accent - a strange cross between Scotland and Leeds. Someone told me that he been Captain of both, though I didn"t believe it. Here is a photo of him from his Hendon Mob page:
