I"m sure that was an APAT approved pic Leigh, and I can assure you Mickey P"s table (it"s behind him, yeah it"s panto season ;D ) was laden with beer glasses, mainly empty of course.
Now in the run up to that particular game, I had the great pleasure of getting to the final 3 at a MTT in the Cincinatti Club in Glasgow, and further pleasure being knocked out by a certain Miss Bronwyn Campbell. Some may know her as ex girlfriend of Rangers goalie Allan McGregor, but she"s also a fine poker player, finishing 4th in the Women"s World Open the following year. Now there is a damn fine point to mentioning this, as after the event she commended me on my overall play, then proceeded to give me one single tip about playing against a woman (won"t divulge this for obvious reasons).
During that first APAT qualifier above, cruising along quite nicely with about 40k chips and down to 2 tables, a hand came along that provided me with some dilemma. I was dealt ah 8h in my BB with blinds at 600/1200, folded round to late position then raised by a very attractive blonde girl, fold fold fold and i flat called to peel off a flop. Flop came A/2/4 rainbow and i checked to her, she almost insta shoved for about 15k more. Now this is where the initial thread post mentions my great tough call that i made. On one hand i could cruise down to the final table with my stack and try to gain my seat for the Scottish National, the other side of the coin is that i hate that style of play and would rather go down in a blaze of glory and give myself a better chip stack to win tournaments (I"m very very keen to hear other APAT"ers opinions about this, always hungry to learn and get advice about my game).
So I decided to attempt to gain more info by chatting to the opponent and remember saying to her "It"s just a matter of how big your ace is really". At this point she gave me the sign that Bronwyn Campbell had tipped me about so i called and she flipped over A5. Unfortunately for her she got no 3 or 5 on the turn or river and I then took a commanding chip lead 8)
