After another great day in Edinburgh, I'm happy to report that I have now made a Final Table in an APAT Regional. Unfortunately though, that was as far as I got. In Seat 2 with 14k, I was sat behind the chip leader on 64k and in front of the 8k short stack but immediately found myself on the 2k Big Blind.
Having folded T2s to a pre-flop raise on the BB, the next hand was folded round to me on the SB. With an M of 4 I pushed with 73o (any two will do!) against the short stacked BB. He insta-called with KQo and hit his Q on the flop. I know myself that, at a 9 player table with top 7 paying £150, I could / maybe should have just folded the 73o too but ...
My final hand was only three hands later when with KTo my pre-flop push was called and checked down by the A high blinds.
I had made a good few plays at pots to reach the final table, one of them was check calling an All-In for all but 200 of my chips against an aggressive Button who constantly raised my BB. With 88, I re-raised him and on a 579 board I checked it over to him. He insta-shoved and I immediately put him on A high. I think for about 1 minute, call and beat his AJo.
I hope to meet / see you all again at the APAT Scottish Amateur Poker Championship on the 3rd & 4th May 2008 if not before.
