Good Luck to both Max McKinlay and to Will Young who is another prospective new BCPC member. He came over and introduced himself after I was knocked-out and he had impressed me with his play during the evening session. I think this kid could be an outsider to win in this tourney.

Commiserations to Steve Redfern, but he will be back.

For the record, I am in Day Two although not listed...... but with events away from the table overtaking me last night, I threw my chips at the end.... and still didn"t manage to lose them all. Technically I have 2050 chips to start day two (half of a small blind!).

good luck to everyone left in, and special good luck to Maxine..... please PLEASE make the money....... cos then I collect the £120 from the BCPC last longer bet!!  Stick in there!

Thanks to Des and Tighty yet again for a great tourney.

Post by: Charlie44 on April 05, 2009, 14:55:45 PM
Just a note to say thanks to the organisers for a wonderful tourney as. My first tourney for a couple of years and the standard has increased if anything.

Apologies to Dewi for knocking him out so early, but what could I do with nuts on the flop.

Just thought also I"d post a hand where I lost a lot of chips , which may be of some interest, although some bits a bit sketchy  .

UTG (who had recently joined the table - be appreciative if somebody lets me know who he is - I thought played very well but got unlucky and lost a lot of chips with his KK against AA later in the day) raised to 1.5k (blinds 600/300 antes 50) .

Folded to me BB with  ah :2h:. The position generally not very good - unknown player with similar stack (£28k) to mine raising UTG and therefore out of position and with a potentially dangerous A rag hand, but with only 900 to call with £2.9k in pot I have to call.

Likely hands I put him on AA - 88 and AK - AJ. The flop came down  A spades 9 ?. I think at this stage there were two spades on the board but I had discounted the likelihood of a flush draw, because of ace of spades on board.

I wanted to know where I was so I bet I think it was 3.5k. He just called.  I thought likely hand was now AJ (AK,AQ hes probably raising.). Other feasible hands were 99 (in postition and waiting for another bet on the turn), and possibly KK,QQ,JJ where he doesn"t believe I have an ace.

The flop came down 2 ( I think it was spades) . I was now beating my prime candidate hand AJ. I bet again I think 6k - he called again . I though at this stage a high pair was no longer likely and AJ as more likely than 99, as he would have raised with 99. I must admit I think at this stage there was a possible flush on the board and in hindsight he was afraid of this - the hence the call.

A blank came on the river. I bet 5k mainly for value but also as stopper bet. He called of couse with 99. Half of my stack gone with a hand I wouldn"t normally be in .


Comments appreciated about the way I played the hand and especially my opponent so that he can fill in the grey areas.

Average stack is 135,000 which is only 11BBs, or an M of less than 5

I don"t remember Walsall being so "shovey" prior to the final table, and so early in the day on Sunday. Perhaps the structure still not quite right...

yuuummmmmmm (except the salad, PAH).  

Thanks to Des, Tight and Leigh.   It was my first APAT and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  More importantly it was a great opportunity to learn a few "live rules" in a friendly environment.

I learn"t, and listen up as this is MOST important ..... you MUST add the extra 25chip to any raise if first to enter a pot (from now on to be known as InTheBelly25).  If you want others to pass it has to be an extra 25  ;D ;D ;D


Great updates Tighty and the gang (those pesky kids).

First deep stack tourney, first live game with Antes, most enjoyable (cannot comment on structure as I have nothing to compare it with but hey it seemed good to me).

Shame on you janc - In the 1982-83 season Roy left Melchester Rovers to become player manager of Walford United.

The fact that you went down to 5125 chips at one stage when the blinds were 600/1200 and tripled up after that, the Poker Gods were looking after you.... Well done again mate.

Congrats to the FTs and esp the top 3 winners. Well played all. Thanks, too, to Des, Tighty and Leigh (and the casino TD and dealers) for a very well-run tournament which made for a great weekend and some super pokering. I really enjoyed the poker and the craic at the 2 tables at which I spent my time on Saturday. Sadly, my Day 2 table appearance only lasted 1 hand, but it was nonetheless a fab weekend and tourney. Thanks again to APAT & BlueSquare.
