<< < (42/42)

dustyfinish:
just got back from dublin

my table was made up of locals who all seamed to know each others game and mark donnelly who was two seats to my left, no complaints though, ended up  shiping all my chips to mark when my Q,J failed to improve aginst his pair of nines, and was gone before the dinner break

yet anothe great tourny from the APAT crew you all deserve " A Pat" on the back (sorry for the poor pun)

meant to rail bird the seccond day but unfortunatley dublins charms got the better of me, great location for a tourny but even better for party :)

Got back earlier today - many thanks to everyone concerned with organising a really great tournament - I think the creation of APAT to give amateur players the chance to play in a deep stack tournament like this has been entirely justified and I wish we had had the opportunity to play in one of the earlier events!

The Fitzwilliam staff were really good, but the stars were Richard, Tikay, Kev and Des - can"t thank you all enough, and well done for a great weekend and tournament. We would have thanked you personally but Deb had to come home on Sunday, and I made the final of the "afternoon" comp on Sunday, so missed the final action downstairs and therefore didn"t see any of you before leaving. (The aft comp started about 5pm and finished about 12.30am!!!!)

All the players added to a great atmosphere too - one of the best I"ve played in. The 9 who didn"t show missed a great event but at least it meant Debs could play!!

Many congratulations to Jaques, who was on my table for quite a while - plenty of speech play which was always in the best spirit and had the best intentions. We clashed a few times and came out even overall against each other. Good luck in the EPT event, I"ll be rooting for you and I hope we play against each other again soon.

I was delighted to make the second day, gutted to miss out on final table, finishing 18th and I didn"t realise I was chip leader at one stage until I read the Day 1 thread!! I should have played a bit tighter cos it didn"t last long after I moved tables!!!!

Many thanks

Dav (David Jones Telford) & Debs

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.

By the way, has anyone seen Pilf?  Last seen trying to find his hotel in the early hours of Sunday morning.

I"d like to add my congratulations to all those involved with the organisation again.
Congrats to Jacques, who was extremely good company at the Blackjack table.
Also to confirm I am alive, although I seem to have picked up a cold!?! Who knows how that could have happened!
