Unlikely. I don"t anyway.
Standard of play was pretty awful from what I saw.
If a lot of those players do get themselves through to Wembley, any pro buying in direct is going to be at a huge advantage, along with what looks like a serious overlay up top.
Not exactly grassroots poker event. We"ll see.
If you dont want your seat I will give you £150 for it.
Thanks for the namecheck :)
You played well and from my point of view you analysed it spot on; victory from the jaws of defeat for me (I have used all my run good!)
You were unlucky when it mattered most.
Keep plugging away your ROI is awesome :)
Yup well played Dan, good to meet you albeit briefly and a shame we never got to share a table over the 2 days... and you JB on the medal fella.. A7 FTW x

Cash Championship Leg #1 in T-minus 71hrs!!!
Really hope to see it hit capacity as i feel its the most unique poker event, and a genius idea by those who invented it (yes, i know who!!) and really hope APAT"rs support the event, now that they have lowered it to NL50>NL100 from NL100>NL200.
Why the double-n?
Sunday: Hit every flop, whether I needed to or not.

I think you missed the flop on the one hand you played in Level 1?

Obviously when you"ve edited the title this will make no sense!!
PLO is great, only bettered playing it in split pot format alongside a bunch of other mixed games.
Told you.

I now no longer need fold the Omaha orbit of the Horse games.
Thinking about it NLH is boring, Des can the Cardiff leg of Cash Champs be Omaha or at least Dealers Choice??
Maybe not DC, but a 10-game DC Cash Tour game would be the best thing ever.
After bubbling the 27e 4k gtd (for the gazillionth time) and bubbles in a few others was nice to make my way through this mindfield!! Came to FT 7/10, was 3/3 and HU he had a 4/1 chip lead. Lucky for me, he is a huge spazztard!!

talk ?
I knew it was in jest but it did get to me a bit - tbf this was mainly because I was tired and needing sleep! As I said a lot over the weekend though, I was originally planning to play the FT but I hit the wall just after you did, so definitely wasn"t a tactical play!
Chris really didn"t need to go on about it on Saturday night though, and 100bb"s is not shortstack poker! ;)

100bbs is deffo shortstacking for a live cash game!! :)
At least you made day 2 of the ME, so you didnt have to listen to my talking in the PLO... :)

Cardiff TR!!!
Chris also had his 2nd deep run in successive mains, finishing 13th for £130 this time. This guy will win something decent soon, thats back to back day 2s....as well as back to back to back 2nds in Cash Champs....sicko.

Chambers?
Absolute suckage the whole trip for me.
Played bad and ran worse in the Cash. Spewed off the second £100 against Vikrum. Felt I played well in the main - got last years winner to put in 60 bigs with 89dd on a 854ss board. Unfortunately for me it"s the only hand in my range (I"ve 3bet out of position vs an UTG limper and his raise) he"s almost flipping with and holds. Followed up by 3jamming 29 bigs with 55, to be met with a cold 4jam with AJo. Board naturally runs out Q8686.
Played some 1/1 Dealers Choice. Got it in as good as you can in 6 card PLO with an overpair, nut flush draw, top pair and 2 straight blockers, versus an open ender and bottom pair. Cue his bottom pair becoming runner-runner quads.
Then lost to Dwayne "I got there, again" Stacey at Open Face Chinese. Surely couldn"t go any worse on Sunday for the PLO. It"s my game, played 4 of these side events, winning 2 outright.
Won the first pot, getting Dan Dennehy to bluff into my straight. Then it all went wrong second hand. KKJ2 v K662 on K64. Had him on K6 (which at least was sort of right) and was ok with the 6 on the turn. Until I saw his hand of course. Rest went in on a flop with a semi wrap vs a set. Drawing dead on turn naturally.
Can only add to people"s negative views about the casino, but mine also include the dealers. At least 4 awful dealers I had over the weekend. Maybe I was unlucky - I have no issue with honest mistakes, and I can overlook technical ability - but awful attitudes and guessing at rulings had me fuming at points over the weekend. Build your own burger was AWESOME though. As were the APAT crowd, seemed chock full of people I knew - lots of chat and banter to be had, probably the best of any I"ve been to tbh. More of the same in Notts please!
1/2: Dann to upset/windup 5+ people.
8/1: Dave Howard to lock up a cash (sorry!)
1/10: Perry to eat cheesecake.
PS - Would love all the lurkers to post more in here....its supposed to be an interactive blog.....ask some Qs and ill answer away!

Good to meet you, Dan, and enjoyed the banter. Looking forward to next time!
UTG was young ABC players, pretty poor and playing scared.
Very big bet sizing tells.
River doesnt complete the flush
9 handed
.... but why do you own a kids purple hairbrush?
Great Run Dann. Was rooting for you.
Wish I had been there to touch your head before the flips
I like the sound of the team event with Team Gotham!
Also interested in the Pontins trip.
Interesting night so far:
So far on Sky Poker:
Sattied into the £6k gtd rebuy for 60p
Sattied into the £4k BH for £6
Already stacked a reg on the Master Cash (200bbs)
Also got Top 50 in the 3r on Stars
Got some other games to go this evening, but feeling pretty pumped :)
Good Afternoon Sports Fans, Dribblers and Slugs alike.
Poker has been very quiet for me the last month or so, sometimes due to Roulette taken favour and sometimes due to laziness on my behalf.
I do, however, plan to take 2014 very seriously on the felt.
Almost finished building the Poker Table, which will get it first use on the 21st, in my favourite homegame of the year.
In Dec i will also be playing a day or 2 of the Sky UKOPC, and prob sell a bit for you lovely people :)
In the New Year, i will be targeting my main focus of Sky Poker Cash Games as well as hammering sats for a multitude of festivals.
Sky UK Champs
DTD Grand Prix (time to best go better than 51st/28th from last 2 years)
GPS
UKIPT Notts
25/25 Series (prob start with Soton with TG)
As well as the rest of the APAT stops.
In other news, we had a slice in Batman in his 25/25 shippppp!!! :)
Guy was so overdue, and am chuffed for him. Although i feel this means that i will be getting abused more in the TG house, due to results.
Sigh!!
Hey Guys,
Its been a while since i have updated this, and truth be known my life is MANIC!!
We have just purchased a snooker/pool club, in Gloucester, and all of my time is now in that. I am Director, Manager, Licensee, Barman and Toilet Cleaner all in one!
For any of those that know me well, its always been a dream of mine, so super excited.
I will be playing the Worlds, so look forward to catching up with you all then, and shipping a bracelet or two :)
Guess whose back.........

I can only imagine how much convincing this actually took.....
Poker, Singing and the One That Never Played The Main
Fridays at APAT Festivals, since the demise of the Cash Tour, have always been interesting and this one tops the lot. Firstly i manage to make a simple 1hr drive last 2 1/2 hrs with an inability to remember where the hell i am going, and a Sat Nav that seems to have a mind of its own. Upon arriving, i find Dwayne and his friend Mark (Sorry Acquaintance) at the Hotel and head to the bowling alley for some Pool, whilst awaiting the arrival of the rest of the Motley Crue. I dont win all my frames, which is just stupid, but is just a small blip on the night as a whole.
After finding nowhere that will allow us to eat and watch the Rugby at the same time, we decide to hit the Casino. Fed and watered, Dwayne and Dave leave Chris, Simon and I with Mark and the night just snowballs......
Deciding that the bowl 50p/50p cash table is the way to go, Mark and I sit whilst the other spin on the table games. Mark is somewhat drunk and decides that a good introduction to us all and APAT is to berate just about everyone....the dealers, the players...hmmmm right....good plan sir! I spend most of the evening encouraging the whole cash table to sing "You are my Sunshine" on multiple occassions....Mark finds this not as much fun as i do, and before long has vanished after i jokingly tell him if he doesnt behave, he"ll be walking back to the hotel......i guess he did.
I find out in the morning that he has gone home, and supposedly he thought we were being horrible to him....well that couldnt be farther from the truth, but i just leave that be and carry on with my weekend!!!
The Main Event is pretty uneventful for me, first table is nothing short of friendly with Brian Yates, PokerJason, Mrs Duncan and Sharon all on my table, i struggle to get anything going probably due to the bright pink pokeriety patch i am doning, but a table move cant come soon enough.
Sadly, i bust about 3 hands into the new table vs Jon Laight and Dave Griffiths when i get 97cc in on 765ssc vs A3ss and KQss...the turn is the 9s and we dont boat up :( Boooo.....
Jump into the £30 side event and spin like a hero, have 3x ave most of the comp and bar 2 missteps....Letting Leigh 3b me pre with 85o and not get punished, and jamming JJ into AA (we win obvs) i make the FT in the top 3 stacks....Dwayne also makes it there. I refuse a saver for 7th and get berated, ironically Dwayne busts me on the bubble but loses HU to the guy that wanted the saver...so my refusal costs me £50 and earns villian an extra £50....ooops
Driving back to the hotel, i managed to get pulled over by the police, to top my night off.....the jobsworth is obviously testing to see if i am drunk etc, he swiftly lets me on my way, and gives me directions to the hotel....but i take another wrong turn....well done me....get back to the hotel and the TG boys are no where to be seen....at least i can get to sleep before Simon gets back....i mean, anyone else know snoring that sounds like a Grizzly Bear and a Hyena fighting?? Painful....haha
Sunday is PLO8 side event for Dwayne, Simon and I, whilst Chris and Dave are still in the ME....but not long enough to stop them jumping into the PLO8 also. Dwayne is first out but manages to get a reentry, and we all fall like flies....except for Dwayne who manages to navigate his 2nd final table and ends up taking it all besting John Murray Heads Up....WP Sir.
The poker was far from memorable for me this weekend however it has a few memorable moments.
Mark...just Mark...wow
Getting the table to break out "you are my sunshine" "bang bang" "boom shake the room" and many other classics
