Australian Poker Tour

And so it was, the quartet went into battle at the Crown Casino. The 4/8 Limit Holdem tables were where the line was drawn and battle commenced. All four Brothers in Arms acquired early scalps, before the long grind began. The three grizzled Musketeers fought bravely for 2 to three hours, but where finally forced into retreat, escaping with their shirts while they were still on their backs. It was only the young D'Artagnan that stayed to fight to the good fight. Momentum and chips were on his side as he uttered the immortal words "Just one hour more". At the end of the night he managed to come away with more of the crowns coin than he had started with, however his sweetheart will not be getting as big a gift as she could have. The lure of riches pried gold from the young musketeers hands rather quickly in that last witching hour. But as escapades go, this was one to be remembered and enjoyed. Fun was had, lessons learnt, and a new hunger for the silky smoothness...

So, anyone for poker this weekend? Happy to have it at my place (and by my place i mean my dads place). Again another Box Hill venue, very easy to get too. Was thinking late afternoon start, and pool availible. Post if your interested.

Well folks it's January which means there are two international sports on in Melbourne right now, Tennis (not relevant- but there are some hotties) and the Australian Poker Championships at Crown (not so much on the hottie front - but a lot more relevant). Sunday 15th of Jan (this sunday) is the 1st day of the Main Event $10,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em Tourny . Action kicks off at 12:30pm. I will be attending, and am looking for interested companions. Here's a blurb from pokernews.com The main event at Crown is the Aussie Millions. The $10,000 (AUS) buy in event doubled in size from its first year, and is expected to double again this year, with the field expected to be in the 500 range. A long list of top players are expected to participate, including current world champ Joe Hachem (who made his home in Melbourne for years), Marcel Luske, Antonio Esfandiari, Scott Fischman, Kathy Liebert, and many more. The top prize is expected to be somewhere in the neighborhood of one m...

The APT is set once again to expand its dates and venues into 2006. Coming up in the New Year, a new casino, the Mont Albert Club (run by the father of an APT board member) or the Mac Daddy for short (yeah you know that’s funny, its ok to laugh, laugh dammit!). However, the first round of the APT 2006 schedule is set for Friday Night 6/1/06 at 7pm . No venue has yet been put forward, however the ever increasing popularity of the APT should mean a venue is not far behind. Please post on venue availability and personal availability. This will also be the final time Be(linda) will be playing with us before her move to the European Poker Tour, based out of London . It will also be the last time Amanda has a chance to win before she becomes a year older (and realises life is no longer worth living like the rest of us).

The APT Curse sails on... Tis a tale to turn yer hair grey and make yer blood run cold. Tis a tale not meant for twilight hours, when the wind gusts and the taste of salt on ye lips can be felt. A tale to frighten small children, and stiffen the backs of the heartiest of souls. Tis the tale of the Pirate Capt. Farrelly and the fateful voyage of his poker playin companions. It was all aboard at the port of Neville . Six shipmates headed off to the fabled BBQ Island . But who knew then what fate had in store? Who could foreshadow the trickery and the treachery? And who could have foretold..... The CURSE!!!!! With full bellies and full pockets the crew turned to the rogues favourite past time, No-Limit Buccaneers Holdem. The youngest of the crew, the cabin boy, had come off a successful win the previous week at Pirates Cove. Little did he know the APT Curse would strike one so young and innocent. Having barely spoken the words "Has anyone had back to back wins" He was...
