Out already.
Sat on :2s: :as:, raise utg. Folds round to BB who has 6h qh, who calls.
Flop comes :3h: 4h 5c
BB, pushes all-in for his 9k stack. I have about 4k. Flopped a straight, got to call is my thought.
To be fair he had an open ended straight draw and a flush draw, but 9k all-in with about 900 in the pot on a drawing hand.
And then no comment from him afterwards. I say "lucky hand and gl all" and he says "yeah".
Well I hope "theJPF" you make good use of my chips.
Always Saturday I suppose.
Good luck to those left in.

yet another frustrating online game. Had just under the average stack but less than 10 BB after just under 2 hours play, so had to push with QQ only for the AK to hit a K on the river.
Still think the blind levels are too quick at 12 mins. 15 mins please.
GL everyone still in. CYA Saturday.
-
still in -- -- got lucky 99 against AK AJ -- flop 567 turn 8 -- but hey I was ahead -- lol
-
Just lost a big hand to janc59 (Charlie) A clubs K hearts v A hearts K clubs to go from 17k to 7k.
Pre-Flop and UTG Charlie raises it to 1,800 > I call
54J (2 clubs on flop), janc min bets, I raise, he calls
7 clubs > check > check
Tc clubs on river > 5400 bet > I call and lose with K high flush
Hanging on now ...

Out -- JJ no good against AQ
-
If you got to go out it may as well be to an APAT national Champion.
My AQ was cracked by none other than Tim Magnus with JT.
Hopefully better luck on Saturday.
See you all there.

You raised under the gun so hes prob putting u on a 2 big cards or an overpair, if he pushed all in i think thats a bit weak, bit if ive got the hand hes got there is no way im folding, id rather bet out and hope you raise then im all in whatever. Open ended str8 draw and a flush draw is a massive hand!
-

After a good recovery, with 20,500 I re-raise 4xBB (8k) with AJo UTG. Trademans" shoves All-In and I call - he shows TT - board no help - I"m out in 12th.

Played in the usual great APAT spirit again. Another most enjoyable event.
I"m still a fan of this format - 4,000 chips, 12 min blinds and a Midnight finish.
TY All too and GL All Remaining. Go janc59 ;)
-
WP telmison4 on a good win, WP Janc59 2nd & Trademans 3rd for Bronze..

Congrats Telmison4 on the win and to the other Medal, Points and Money winners.

My 3rd on line APAT, and the first that I have actually sat down and started from the first hand. Which was pair 9s which held up for a nice 1000 chips. This was going to be my night, I was going to play really well and win! Actually had very few hands and when I did always ran into something better. Finished in 60th after nearly two hours play. I think this format if spot on, a midnight finish is fine, the blinds seem quick when your short stacked, but don"t they always! I don"t think any further tinkering is required...... and maybe next time I"ll get into the money!
Couldn"t believe luky bugur didn"t win, you must be losing your touch!
-
Grrrrr.. wish some of my hands would hold up. Kept being reraised off pots, so with blinds of 100 / 50, had a button raiser (again).... to 300 - I pushed with my last 1700 all in from the BB with A 10o- button raiser decides that QJo is enough to call....
of course the flop comes 10 ---- Q..... and me out of the tournament early again.
Be careful fish my luck will change ;)

He was a very slight favourite on the flop (against your hand). So his push does sort of make sense - as does your call.

Yeah sorry about that! I didnt respect your raise from the BB and had the chips so went for it!
Was an excellent tourney. Got my first FT and a nice little bronze medal to go with it. Wp all......

Linzi - there"s not a lot you can do against luckboxes like that!
(On a different note, I think I blanked you at the weekend. I think you said hello as you walked past and being a bloke it took me a few seconds to react as I was listening to another conversation as well. My apologies).

I suspect that was me. I certainly rivered a K to beat QQ against someone.

Thats ok Kin - men can normally only do one thing at a time ;D

Very pleased with my first Apat victory and my second final Apat table in a row where I finished sixth last time.Looking forward to the next game see you all Saturday

Did everyone go mad about 10pm last night? My table turned into a push fest and saw my 10k demolished firstly by the bloke who won in cardiff. Taking 7.5k with his 88 against my AQ, then i thought it was come back time when i got AK in the BB 2 hands later. SB pushes, i call, i remember that A5 is the hand to have!!! Out 40th ish?
Did it calm down a bit after the 400/800 level?
-
The "all in push fest" began roughly when the blinds hit the 400/200 mark. Every hand was push or fold. ???

Every tournament is going to have a period when its push or fold, reason people are playing tighter than ever, and somewhere along the line it has to move on. Its a great tournament now with 4000 chips and a 12 finish is ideal for a school night IMO..
-
It seems that the consenses is that the current format of 4,000 chips and a 12 min clock is the way to go.
Personally I would prefer a 15 min clock to allow for a little more play as you get into push or fold mode after about an hour and half. I went out at about 9.50pm last night after beening forced to push with QQ when my M was around the 7 mark and the blinds about to go up again.
I"ve said this a few times before, so here we go again. I get up at 5.15am for work and cant see the problem with an after midnight finish as its only once a fortnight not two or three times a week.
Can we at least have the 5,000/15 mins structure back for the Saturday comps. please.
