200 runners and surely only a donk would be first out?

Correct!

200th Finalinsult QQ cracked by 44, ritual humiliation with a standing ovation from the card room and a humbling interview on APAT tv, boy do I feel sorry for my self.

We are at the 1st break and chip counts are as follows.

AJCairns    15000
VainoTiik    12300
Klup            11300
Katos            9000
Gnasher            9000

Got shortish stacked and ran TT into AA.

So 189 left, 11 out and we have lost two of them.Cry

Basic criteria will be:
1) Regular Betfair Poker Forumite
2) Reliable
3) If a fem, willing to put out to a greek. If a guy, helmuthian folds is on hand to provide 90 degrees.

Thereafter its pretty much going to be based on the response rate. But Helmuthian and Gnashers are near certs :)

And Klup had 18k but decided a shove with T3 suited into AA pre flop was a good idea.  Gotta love the Greek donk! Love

Report The Klup January 30, 2011 3:54 PM GMT
Betfair have suppliers who do their branding and they selected the colour (I think it was determined by them based on the sizes they had available. Our team wasnt exactly small [smiley:crazy]).

AJCAIRNS is still in. He was short stacked yesterday on about 20 ish and has since had three double ups. Sitting on 130K atm.

Before yesterday, I never met gnashers, hardly ever come across him at the tables and hardly ever engaged in any real chat with him. But he grinds, he contributes and fully merited inclusion.

Helmuthian Folds is 100% reliable, established long time contributor to the betfair forum and an established player who has played in numerous team events. He has played betfair live, travelled to portsmouth for forum games.

NAP BETS and NOUGHT to do with a mates thing - irrespective of what you would like to believe.

Hi everyone. It was nice to put some faces to names at the weekend. As I was leaving my daughter introduced me to someone she had been chatting to on her table and it was not until we got outside she said it was Klup. I believe AJ Cairns was also on my final table too and I did not realise. I know most of these names from the APAT League games and look forward to our battles in Season 5.  It was a great weekend.
