Title: PPGP
Post by: Joker161 on May 03, 2010, 18:31:56 PM
The magazine says the password is "lavendar" but it doesn"t seem to be working.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

aren"t you a teacher?  :D

Jokin161 on Interpoker I presume.

I have managed an early double up binkage by rivering a set of Nines vs QQ

Registered last night, but didn"t play as wanted to support the local pub"s new redtooth poker league..which I didn"t even know about until they refurbished the place! (don"t think I"ll be returning though.)

But checked the latest tables, and no real damage down..8th in table before and now 13th on 101 points.

4 to play.

I did the same as you Waz as I was out Monday night, it"s a little more crowded further down and i"ve dropped from 29 to 39th. I"m also prbably only able to play 2 of the remaining 4!!

But more to the Point I have just had an email from Interpoker and it turns out this week"s winner, jetting straight into the live final, was our very own Jokin161 / Joker161.

WP Joe!!

Some other APATers also in the frame.

At the risk of self-bokking does anyone know when the Live final is?

Great result for Joe WP.  (goes to show the standard in Division 2 for next season  :D)

I think the mag just says TBA about the final......I was trying to find out what the top 30 finished with last year in order to qualify...

Thanks! I hope the live final isn"t in early August - holiday booked.

I also came 3rd in that "World Cup" freeroll the previous day. The live event is on the 6th June and I fly back from Vegas arriving at 7am on that day having (probably) had no sleep. Could be interesting! Also, I have to wear the national dress of Algeria! Not sure that will fit in the luggage!

Well played Joe, I am currently sitting just outside the top 30 and was on your table for most of the last game. The Vegas speech didnt wash btw :-)

Hope I will make up the points and see you there..very fustrating that I didnt reg for the first 2 games so 10 points behind :-(

Out in 16th - I think that"s 40 points to put me on 121 and in the top 10. Fingers crossed I can stay in the top 30 from there

Busted 1st hand, Ah 6h in SB, call button raise, flop 6 2 9 (2 hearts), we get it all in and he has 94off and it holds.  Hopefully I have enough points already...
Title: Re: PPGP tonight
Post by: suzanne on July 05, 2010, 23:19:23 PM
Made the points but not enough to put me in top 30, should have 113 after tonights game.

Hopefully I can get a good result in the last game.

Grr - why oh why didn"t I play these from the start. A bit late to get excited about a 10th place in #9 from 10 lol.

Actually I missed the live final in season 1 in this by about 5 places and haven"t recovered/played them since!

GL to all the APATers yet to make it that can still make it - and to the ones who"ve already qualified.

waz turned up at some point during level 2?!? But appears to have a decent stack.

There is no sign of James - he has 1 more level until tacks are removed!

Sigh!

There has been some very strange play in this tourney.

Seat 1 raises to 600 @ 100/200 (I am in seat 3) Seat 4 reraises to 2k. Seat 1 re-pops to 3100. So seat 4 has to call 1100 more and has over 6k behind (avg is 5.5) He tanks for 2 mins and calls and shows KK..... WTF.

Oppo had AQ and rivered but that"s by the by

my curry has arrived. More to follow

Post by: AceOnTheRiver on September 04, 2010, 20:24:46 PM
Sorry guys the "sigh" was to indicate I was already out but said curry arrived before I played a loooooooong SnG*

I had managed to double up 1st after the break but got short again when the following happened thus backing up my earlier point.

UTG limps and everyone folds to me in SB and I complete with K 10 (we are at 100/200a25). BB checks. Flop is KQx. The limper has limped a lot and stabbed at any pots checked to him so I check BB checks and sure enough he fires 500 into a pot of 800 - I duly throw in my last2100 at which point the limper tanks for a good minute (JP likes this) Eventually he makes the call and I flip over my K 10 with confidence and the limpy tanky fishy caller shows.... AK. WTF!

However unorthodox it is I do not have a problem with the limp and obviously no with the lead and the call but what on earth is he tanking 4. Gg nh ty.

Fair play to Poker Player for putting this on. Ironically had more fun after I was out with SnGs etc.

*2nd place for £20 profit. £14.20 Train ticket. £5 Parking. I"m 80p up. As the great G Smith once said "a profit"s a profit"

Just got back home myself.

Arrived late due to train issues, and a clash with the missus hair appointment, meaning my inital train was scrapped leaving with the slow version!

Enjoyed the event, if not very quite on the tables.

nothing of note really, other than a good lay down at 100/200.  I have QJ. folded to me, i raise to 450.  SB calls.

Flop Q53  I make it 950 , he repops for another 3k.

I tank put him on kk, aa, or a better q kicker....if he has a set he"d just call.

Folded, and he shows aa.

exit was 22 vs QJ, q on flop.. goodnight.

Pleased i qualified for it in the first place after 10 freerolls,  that was the achievement I think.

Wore my APAT t-shirt with pride allthesame!
