Just a note to say I am playing on day 3 (Sunday), table 99 seat 1.
Looks a lot of fun, the scale of it all is quite amazing

Best of luck Max... Bring it home mate..... Will be following your progress...
It would be great if you could give us a tournament report after each day.....
SHIP IT!!!!

Feeling your optimism FP, "...after each day...". Wishfull thinking!
That said you never know....
If they removed some of the scantily clad babes from the centre I dare say itd be easier to concentrate. Quite an eyefull, literally

There is a danger Max may end up looking like a Three Degrees groupie.
-
All the best Max, do yourself and APAT proud.
-
All the best Max!!! Play your A game and I"m sure you"ll be fine. Don"t be intimidated - you"ve beaten a decent live field to earn your seat, which will be more than alot of guys there will have done.
Go deep!
-
Thanks all, kind words indeed.
Keep you posted
Back to the pool and some scantily clad ladies!
-
Stick in max all the best.

Keep the focus Max, so many distractions in Vegas!!!
Joking aside, all the best Max. Have a great tournament and enjoy it. Play your own game and with a bit of luck you will go deep.

Just been eliminated - AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH
I could go on all day about the horrendous calls ive seen and the lack of any kinda of connecting with the flop but what ultimatley did it was this:
Me:£17k
Villain: £37k
Blinds & Ante:£1.1k
Folded to villain who in pos 6 raises to £2.5k (pot now £3.6k)
With ac qh I min reraised to £5k (pot now £8.6k)
Villain, after much consideration calls (out of position)
Flop: 9d th ad
Villain Checks
I move all in for my last £12k
(I could be beaten here but villain is loose aggraesive and has raised first in a number of occasions, so given my raise was only min his range is pretty wide, of which I can beat quite a lot)
Villain calls with jh qd (open ended straight and backdoor flush - both undercards)
The turn was 4c
The River brought kc to fill his straight
Much annoyance but I guess thats the game well love to hate
Only sorry, with such support, I couldnt have lasted longer and made more of an impact.
Plenty of time to digest the detail and the many other hands, Ill come back with more once Ive calmed down.

Unlucky Max.
You got your money in when you were ahead, so don"t beat yourself up over it.
Enjoy the rest of your time over there.
-
Unlucky Max, limping into Day 2 was never going to be the best option so you had to pick a spot, and were unlucky on this occasion.
Did you get any decent photos that I could use in the newsletter?
-
Unlucky Max..... As has been said before, you got your money in when ahead......
And after looking at the updates, there has been sooooooo many bad plays and calls, its almost like they are going for sh*t or busto.....
At least you have been there done it... One thing checked off the big list...
-
Unlucky Max, you can do no more than go in well ahead. I hope that you enjoyed the experience, roll on the Main Event 2008!!!
-
Unlucky Max. You had him sussed, and I like the min-raise as you want more than just the blinds in that spot, and you played him perfectly. The poker gods just weren"t looking on you favourably.
Hope you enjoyed it, and back to the pool and those ladies... ;D
-
a bad player would have maybe taken that down preflop. You correctly went for the max(sic)
ul wp gg nh tp!!
-
Sorry to read that things didn"t go to plan Max....them poker gods have a lot to answer for! Still you"ve been there & no doubt got a "T"shirt or two which is more than the majority of us humble poker slaves can say!
Better luck in 2008 :)

Thanks all
Threw the rattle out of the pram. Got an early flight home.
Will write something with a bit more detial over the coming week.
All in all despite the bust it was a great experience and one I am extremely thankfull to APAT and Pokerstars for.
Good luck at taking my chips next APAT
