Title: APAT Welsh Amateur Championship 2009 - Live Update - Day One
Post by: APAT on March 30, 2009, 15:41:57 PM
This weekend, journey deep into the Welsh valleys with the APAT Updating Team; led by APAT's legendary split personality media director, Richard "Tightend" Prew. One minute he"ll have readers in stitches with his dry witty commentary while the next, he could be launching laptops at the walls of Cardiff"s Grosvenor Casino, as witnessed by many at Grosvenor Walsall. :D
With the tournament completely sold out, join Richard and team for updates on the fortunes of 160 runners and alternates; including defending champion Tim Magnus.
Once again APAT will be running our popular interactive competition which asks readers to name two of the finalists from three picks before the event starts. We can only take your first attempt (which must be unedited!), but anyone achieving the task will get an option to purchase a seat for the Irish Amateur Poker Championship in Dublin ahead of the clickfest!
The prestigious Welsh Amateur Poker Championship kicks off at 2.30pm on Saturday with day one coverage live and exclusively through this thread. Look out for news of your favourites, chip counts, video interviews and much more.

Title: Re: APAT Welsh Amateur Championship 2009 - Live Update - Day One
Post by: kev hancock on March 30, 2009, 20:08:02 PM
My 3 picks to final table Apat Wales are as follows:-
Darren Shallis, Linda Iwaniak, Rupinder Bedi.
I concede that duke3016 and Waz 1892 got in 2 of the picks first so as to avoid accusations of copying here are my reasons:- Darren: 3 top ten positions in Apat national championships ( including a win and 4th), captain of team Cardiff ( online league) and lives 1 mile away from myself but more importantly is a formidable opponent.
Linda: having final tabled Apat national events in both 2007 and 2008 she is sure to reach a final table in 2009 so Apat Wales could be the one.
Rupinder: gala poker tour winner and several "big" online cashes including his latest which was only as recently as yesterday basically picks himself as the "player" to beat.

Post by: duke3016 on March 30, 2009, 21:06:50 PM
With a view to who will win in Cardiff, this is not a question that the strongest players want to answer. Spokespeople for APAT (the initials short for a phrase about poker or something) sat down with like people for a training session on covering the various bets. The parties are downplaying the differences between the various players. Kinfishy (OK no contest winner in 1886) AMRN recent winner (luckbox some say but I couldn't possible comment). HaworthBantam never making level 2, Duke staying sober, Sir percywhatsit trying to con the people with naff glasses, Technolog trying to blind people with orange hi viz jackets etc etc
The problems are the same, they say, however play will be similar. (I seem to find a whole lot more differences than they profess to) So different from on line, where, on stars at least, there is only one master, George stand up. However, every difference is as wide as a chasm. (Think about the debate between Chipaccrual & LukyBugur around AJ. The argument over who is right represents a significant philosophical difference, but when compared to the current system of live play, there are many similarities between the two problems. Can you imagine Lukybugur saying "there really are no major differences in our play, because we both have examined the same problem?")
One person is (mildly) claiming the mantle of change (versus experience). This reference is not lost on the APAT faithful, who have been carefully and critically watching the contest on the internet and the international news stations. But still.how will the APAT people chose? This is the challenge they face: how to help normal people make choices when the parties themselves seem reluctant to do so.
Cmon wee man one time -- LOL

I don"t want to go down the obvious Shallis/Auckland/Bedi route, but I do believe that these events are very similar to the Grand National and the best bet is each-way on those who have survived the course before.
On that basis, my three to watch in Cardiff are:
Anthony Williams Mark Redshaw Colin O"Prey
However, once he gets on or close to the final table, Mark will bust himself out by going all-in with 3 4 or 4 5, same as he did in Dublin & Walsall!

On my way into Cardiff this weekend I noticed Cardiff City"s new stadium nearing completion.
As I drove down the dual carriageway to the bay there on the vista to my left was new ground, Ninian Park right behind it and in the distance the Millenium Stadium. Quite a sight for football stadia anoraks.
I stopped the car on the hard shoulder, put the hazards on and stared into the distance, snapping the view of stands towering into the sky in front of me
I was in heaven.
and now, back to the poker

Richard Rudling Smith is OUT 55 into 88 of Judi Edwards
Dan Owston was out earlier
Not a vintage comp for the Welsh to date
Adam Sharples doubles up to 21,900. He has a beard, which frankly, does not suit him. I didn"t think he was old enough to shave so his appearance looking like the lovechild of King Edward VIII (Contemporary reference there) came as a shock earlier

not The Queen Mother, but the chase named after her
Would have been a hell of a race if you won a member of the royal family.

Untrue. Dafydd is just shoving with pocket nines. I think he"s forgetting to give them back after the hand is done.

Good Luck to both Max 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 tomorrow in this tourney.
Commiserations to Steve, but he will be back.

Actually still had a (very small) handful of chips left at the end but have had to forfeit my seat due to a family illness. Had 38k going into the last hand, but suspected I wouldn"t be able to return for Day Two, so threw them in blind UTG in final hand.
So, even though the listing doesn"t show it, I have indeed made day two in every live national this season so far :)

Great updates Tighty but just for Ben"s benefit - I shoved with the new nuts (J7 suited) and got called by raggy AQo (as if...) and a weedy pair of Jacks. No contest! This was even more interesting cos after AQ called all in he then discovered some more chips in his pocket which had to be removed from the tournament. In his confusion he then turned over his cards with the BB (with the Jacks) still to act. Well it was the last hand of the night and we were all hanging. Man with the Jacks could see I was miffed at seeing the AQ and obviously thought he had me beat and with a race against the AQ it was deffo worth a call.
Having been down to one BB only an hour earlier I"m sure I"ll be just as cavalier with my chips on Day 2. See you all later. Judi xx
