APAT European Team Championship - Live Update - Day Two

[linziwan]

Myself and the Scottish skipper are sitting in an internet cafe in Brighton with the biggest hangover of all time after spending a night with the mad irish and some locals.

Congrats again to Ireland and well done to Gordon and Phil for scoring all the points. (but I did put everyone off their game with my superb strategy!)

Can"t believe the English team wouldn"t take us on again in the cash game. However the blind all-in sit&go with the locals did prove profitable.

A thank you to Des and the whole APAT team it was a great weekend. Fabulous meeting all the players and a great atmosphere - Alan we missed you, and the poor guys had to put up with me instead! Well played to all that competed.

Many congratulations to Ireland very well played and Scotland, coming back all that way from the first day was brilliant. My chips definitely helped you there - Gordon is definitely my nemisis can"t beat him in a hand ever!

Micky P - sorry didn"t have any money left for the cash games the locals took it all in 10 mins on the cash tables..... story of my day! out 1st in MTT,  approx 7 hours standing around willing on the England team, need to play some Poker - get to the cash table and its dealers choice, mostly Omaha

• fold first three hands - get KK +2 cards (double suited and connected) - get my money in to find another player has AA... and they hold


• buy in again, before the money gets to the table on the very next hand I got AA +2 cards (again connected but only one Ace suited), raise early table, then a couple of flat callers - need to thin the field so as its "pot limit" make a pot bet, get one caller, flop gives me straight and flush possibilities, guy raises to call makes me pot committed so I push and he calls, he"s flopped trip KKs and I have lost my money before it get to the table!

Definitely not my day for poker - so sorry Micky the money you won was what they"d won off me to start with! and I had none left for you guys to take  :"(,

Definitely looking forward to this again next year, if I get picked of course.

See you all on the poker tables be they virtual or live.

And it didn"t finish there as Pat and I bumped into Micky P at the Airport, we hung around at the entrance to the pub and sure enough we found him.

Now why am I not surprised by that?

Best chat-up line I"ve heard in ages was this weekend. I will not name the guilty party but by all means PM with your guesses.

"Do you want to come back to my room for some heads-up action"

It wouldn"t be the same "gentleman" who tried to give Silke his room key would it ?  

She only wanted to swap shirts

Congrats from the German Team to Ireland! You deserved to win this thing!

We enjoyed the Team Championship very much. It has really been a pleasure to play some poker with you guys.

Unfortunately we got some beats in the STT"s, but in the end we reached a very good third place. Maybe we will be a bit luckier next year...

Thanks to Des and his team for the perfect organisation! Great Job!

Well just about recovered from a great weekend in Brighton.

Firstly congratulations to the Irish, well deserved winners.

Secondly, well done to all involved in organising the event. Des, Ian, Caz, Leigh you did APAT proud and thanks have to go to the Grosvenor Casino Brighton, for a smoothly ran event.

Thirdly, well played my fellow team mates, it was an honour to play with you and I think you all played great.

Fourthly, great to meet all the players from the other countries and the whole event was played in great APAT spirit.

Finally, my commiserations to the poor english team. Aye right, lol, get it right up ye!!!!

On behalf of all French team members and supporters that followed us at the casino and online, I want to warmly congratulate the Irish team for winning the championship, the Scots for their wonderful spirit and singing and the German for taking a deserved 3rd place.

It"s been a fantastic week end, thank you Des, Apat admins for great updates and organisation, all the teams, Grosvenor and Bluesquare for making it happen. What an atmosphere! We loved it!

Very nice to meet you all guys and get to know you better. Looking forward to playing again in an APAT event next year.

A great week end!! (just missing some silverware... we"ll do better next time!)
