The Bloggerment, Birthdays + APAT

The Bloggerment

The game was played out yesterday evening by 16 players gracing the virtual felt for some fun, but deadly competitive poker. After a few hours of play we finally had our Final 3:

Dreams Of Vegas
Rubbish
KNSTV

DoV and KNSTV ended up Heads Up, where Dreams Of Vegas prevailed and managed to take down the first in the series of the Bloggerment. A big well done to him. Rumour has it that there was some luckboxing along the way, but as they say in poker.. "we all need a little luck".

Birthdays

Congratulations to member Longy, our resident SnG Specialist, who celebrated his 30th birthday on Monday. We hope you had a good one sir.

APAT

The team championships are coming up again in January and team selection has been on our mind. Obviously we are going to favour people who has supported us in these events previously and this is currently how the team is looking:

BurnleyMik
Bullmeister
Hammerheid
dD
Snake_Eyes
Ant1966

Unfortunately there are only 8 spots available this time around and we have 2 places left. Our other interested parties: Acornman, rubbish and kronsdat, will be having a little playoff for the two seats, with the 3rd placed player getting the 1st reserve seat.

We have a bit of a reputation in these team events finishing second in this exact event last year and having the individual winner, Mary Martin. We also finished 3rd in our other team event, run by Newcastle Poker Forum.

That is all for now. Please feel free to leave comments.
