I have read a lot of posts on here and think you seem like nice people
and I sence some very good players.

I have no doubt in my mind that there will be very little if any collusion.
To be honest if I think I am in front or the odds are right against
a team members all in, then he is going to get called.

The thing I think about is if I did take all his chips then I would have a better
chance to score more points (or even cash).
We could both end up with no points.

If you are a player and you don"t take your chances when they come
then you are asking for trouble.


Realy looking forward to it now, say hello if you see me.

That wouldn"t be collusion, but would be soft play,and would be a pretty poor show!

In a normal event, yes...in a team event..No.

It cross the line, IMO, from soft play to collusion and in any case, no-one is having my chips for free.

Everybody needs to be very clear on this, players will be penalised if there is any evidence of soft play or collusion.  The casino will be extremely dilligent about this and if you break the rules, you should prepare to be punished. 

Similarly, if the rules are abused, APAT would NOT be prepared to run this event again.

It is your event and promises to be unique in atmosphere, but please remember to play fair at all times.

I am sort of thinking soft playing and such should be allowed, after all it is a team event and thats where the majority of the prize pool lies...

Say one of my team shoved and it folded to me and I have aces, if i call I would eliminate them and lower our chances of winning the main prize, the team prize, so the smart move is to just fold the aces right?

IMO if you wanted this to play like an individual event them you should have tipped the scales in favour of the main prize being for individuals. This is team, so we should play like a team...

As long as you are not showing each other your cards, I can"t see the real problem.

Have you not noticed the effect that Jack has on electronic equipment ? It"s a little like the gravitational effect I have on your chips when I"m near you, Ger.  ;D

Just to clarify guys, if APAT win the team event, I am proposing that the additional £1k owner"s prize goes towards an APAT freeroll.
