APAT Bunch Of Fives

[Cyntaf]

Boss only does "late reg" if 9 or more (I think) register at the normal starting time!

It"s a shame as I was planning on late registering too.

I thought it was 6 minimum

Makes more sense as post says goes ahead as long as there are 7 runners??

Poker.Co.UK said have to have minimum of 10 players to have late reg. Oh well will know for the future.

Agree, it is disappointing. I am new to all the other games besides Holdem but I found them fun learning and have played every game. I feel sorry for those who are taking this seriously and are in the points.

Also playing the last 3 games for first time and apart from feeling miffed coz of the points was looking forward to giving 5CD a go... just done a quick tally of the points and poor numbers mean that even Cormach and BobbyS who are playing now have no chance of getting in top two coz of the low numbers when it seems a lot of people would have registered late... which would have also afforded them the opportunity of finishing at top. poor end to a fun week of poker.

I"m sure there will be a good reason, as to why tables have not been up-dated.

Without a doubt, and that wasn"t meant to be a swipe at Leigh although it reads back as such, but one of the main problems with APAT leagues is how to keep people interested till the end

No, i never read it as such. I too was disappointed and did not want to dig at Leigh , nor anyone else.
Had good fun all week with you and never thought anything like that of you. Look forward to next bash.

A big disapointment for those up the top and a chance to get into the Top 2, that it never made the minimum runners.

I should think it feels like a "waste" of getting good results in the other games.

not sure if this can be avoided for future events if they are not supported as it seems at present.

For what it is worth, a think too many, "bespoke" varients put people off just  imo.

Missed the start by one minute too. I was gonna play to increase the numbers cos otherwise it can be difficult for anyone to dislodge the current leaders (I haven"t checked the league - don"t know who is currently leading it).

"bespoke" varients put people off

I"m not sure that is true, judging by the number who have posted that they were going to play.

To be honest, I would of thought the other games would give people (like me) to learn in a fun way amongst friends and support APAT.

I was meaning more overall, but i accept quite a few others would have played having just missed the late reg cut off.

Which agree would have made a difference to the leaderboard.

Have enjoyed the other variants and would have registered tonight... prob for me not the variants but the 7pm start.. late reg was good but it"s a let down for everyone when the last event counts for nothing... but dont think that"s due to variants.. having only really played hold"m and omaha before it"s nice to give the others a go in a league situation where it"s low expense with something to play for... anyway congats to Cyntaf.. think he"s this week"s winner... but I"m certain Paul would have rather had a game tonight in which others had a chance to take top spot off him than see no-one have a chance to beat him coz of poor last event.. he"d probably still have finished top because he has been the most consistent so far but I"m sure Frank and Rob and the rest of us near the top were looking forward to the challenge of trying to beat him... late reg was advertised... dont see why low numbers need to affect that... lots of people had intended to play and probably would have been close to 20 players by the end of late reg... had it been in effect

Yeah I was ready to join half an hour in I enjoyed the 5 card draw last week.

not disagreeing with you at all on any points, and I retract my view on the varients having an effect on te low turn outs over the week!  

[Swinebag]

Whilst I agree about things being annoying regards late reg, no updates etc, Lets"s remember that this is totally out of character for Leigh and the APAT team.

If there is a reason that there has been no-one posting from APAT for the last 3 days, lets just hope its not for a reason that is bigger than poker, that makes us all look a bit stupid for bitching, when things finally come to light.

Just waiting patiently, myself

[Scousebill]

Play them in a different order next week.... How about Heads Up instead of one of the 5 or 7 card...?
