Well done on the f/t finish guys
As for playing against a team mate I would raise my team mate large enough to let him know I was good for it,

You do notice soft playing occasionaly, personally I dont agree with it, after all your team mate wants to win the money the same as you do. This is the only thing about the team games I don"t like.

Cheers Guys.

As far as I am concerned I hate having a team mate in the blinds when I"m on the button or cut off as generally I will play a lot more from this position ( this seems to be the case in every game Ive played so far ), having a team mate reduces the number of hands I"ll play as I dont want to steal their blinds, so I"ll only play premiums. I"ve also folded a number of spectulative hands that I like to play if a team mate puts in a raise as see no need to get involved.

[troubled joe]

Yeah, both have similar thoughts to me.  I generally play more aggressively against team-mates when I"m strong to give them chance to get away (though didn"t do that to help out Jeno when I flopped trips!) and am also less prone to steal or call.  Interesting one as there are definitely times when it feels like borderline soft playing.

Anyway, I am enjoying the league this season, largely because I"m actually contributing this time.  Roll on next fixture.
