Grant's Glasgow Banter
Santino67:
OK so I don"t usually play during the day but while I reg"d for the Leg 5 game of the APAT mini league decided to stick my $5 worth in for a $1500 guaranteed 12 min 1500 chips game.
15 mins in and doubled my stack, made a couple of notes about this level as it"s been a while since I played it......If a hand has a nickname it doesn"t necessarily mean you should play it (e.g J5 lol), Try not to get sucked into the Freeroll mentality of many of the players (just saw a shove for 30 BBs with K9 instacall by A6 :D I"m interested to know is this standard at this level on other sites?
Not even ended level 2 and from 370 starters already down to 250, the Poker Gods won"t be required for this particular event so i"m sure they"ll be enjoying the lie-in.
Just donked half my stack, flush on turn busted by 4th diamond on river for guy with KK! Just saw another example of above with blinds 25/50 player shoved for 1200 with 6/6 preflop instacall by Q7, so glad the 6 came on flop tbh :D and now down below 200 players left
Nice treble up with 8/8, 7/8/J flop and 7 on river sealed it against QQ & AQ, then laid down A/Ks on J high rainbow board after 3 calls to my 4*BB preflop raise and 2 betting on flop. One of them takes the pot with A/10s with flush on river, the other who started on the SB shows J/8os. That"s what happens when you call a raise with garbage OOP, let that be a lesson to any kids out there ;) Now at 3.4k 63rd of 166 left.
Blinds 60/120 EP raise to 360, 1 caller mid table and I go set mining on button with 2/2. Q/6/2 rainbow flop check check check. 6 on turn, check check, put in a half pot bet and fold fold :( Break time 67th of 142 with 3.7k, average 3.9.
Went card dead after break with too much raising going on to my right and 2 of top 10 chip leaders on my left, unable really to play at all. Halfway through the 100/200 level busted out 106th with 10/10 v J/J, 9/8/5 flop. No help and I"m outta this cheap hotel......for now!!!! Never really got going, would"ve made a difference if my flush held earlier but That"s Poker :P

Looks like I"m surely a non contender now for Lloret De Mar, it"s all gone the shape of the pear. Mum taken into hospital last night and discovered today that she has a perforated ulcer :( Not currently able to withstand surgery so she"s on mega anti biotics and fluids and next few days are pretty crucial so the poker"s pretty insignificant for now.
Best wishes to everyone playing, i"ll still check the updates and live feeds through the weekend when I get a chance. I know win or lose you"ll all have a fantastic time 8)

Poker means feck all, family does. All my good wishes Grant, and a speedy recovery to your Ma.
Santino67:
Thanks guys, doubt it"ll be a speedy recovery so just need to look after my wee ma for the time being and I"ll look forward to the next APAT even more
