Hands up everyone who want"s to see Billy Leishman back at the APAT tables........

So tonight"s there"s really just 2 options. First up we have the Betfair Xmas Turbo/APAT Bounty slugfest madness carnage that will be an axcuse for a poker game. Alternatively there"s also a good £40 buy in deepstack game at the Glasgow Alea, decision decisions!!!
Given that it"s almost minus 10 out there and The Alea card room is colder than a black widow"s bedside manner after a Tommy Sheridan style party, let the online madness begin. Good luck to all taking part 8)

I remember Billy. I met him when a pal of mine in manchester sold his seat on the seat exchange for APAT Edinburgh and Billy snapped it up. Naturally I was the money middle man.
Top bloke, good company and a pretty decent player who ran deepish in most APAT events he played. Hope we get a chance to play again.
Glad the Fire Brigade thing has worked out for him.

Well that was fun, if not a bit on the ridiculous side, eventually (probably not the right word with 5 minute levels) finished 41st. had some highs & lows including limping with AK on 2.2k chips, expecting and got the raise behind then shoved and got called with AQ. Nice double up for me :)
Then had an EP short stack shove on my BB when I had AK again, fold fold fold insta call from me v AJ. K & J on flop J on river, severe dent with blinds rising so quickly. Next time on my BB at 125/250 had 2 all in"s before me and only 1100 behind. Quick calculation gave me 4/1 odds with 10/5 suited, live cards, the chips go in. Hit a straight with my 5 and my 10 wasn"t even live lol.
Dav51 on my right was being a nightmare, raise raise raise, me 2/8 2/9 3/J fold fold fold. next time he raised to 2k at 400/800 i shoved my 8k behind him with A9 only to run into his AK and get no help, deservedly so :P
Like I said initially, lots of fun but not my style of poker so probably won"t be visiting too many turbo games again in near future unless APAT linked.

Yeah Rob, top bloke. He sent me a text to say he"d looked at this and had a laugh at the "hands up" post. he assures me he"ll post sometime in the near future so will be great to hear from him.
