Personally I"d love the England team to pick players who overplay their 34o out of position as I happen to see at the Vic...  :"(

I dont know if you were on the table or heard about this hand from someone. But the facts are I was on the big blind of 150 and there was a raise to 450 which was called and then the action was back to me. The pot is now 1125 and I decide to see a flop with my 43 suited clubs actually. Now you may think I have overplayed my hand and you are entitled to your opinion. If I miss the flop I have lost 300 chips and fold to the next bet. As it happens I hit two fours for a set and hit the flush draw on the turn. To be honest I think some people might think the pocket Kings were overplayed, by going all in on a paired board, surely your only getting called by someone with the set. I would never play 43 unless I had some chips invested in the hand and was getting decent value to make a call and see a flop. This hand gave me a great foundation early on in the tournament which helped me make it to an eventual 2nd place, therefore I have no regrets about risking 300 chips to win a pot of 20000 or so which is how it turned out. Now back to the thread, if rules are made at the start of a season then surely it"s not right to change them halfway through, having said that Apat is a democratic organisation and if enough people want change then I am sure their views will be taken on board. Everyone would be honoured to play for their country myself included. I do not put myself up as one of the top two english players but the four places have to be decided somehow. This has been stated as the way that the team is chosen and until a different method is put forward and adopted we are all bound by the current rules.

The preflop raise was higher than that (900 instead and not 450 because there was another limper actually) but anyway, you forgot to say that you called a 3000 bet on the flop with low pair and back door flush draw which is, in my humble opinion, criminal to say the least.

Surely you want him to call if you have the best hand?!?!?

Anyway....clearly not the thread to be discussing it...

Any confirmed start time for Thursday?

Any confirmed start time for Thursday?

Which event ?

[Marty719]

Team event.  Im getting 10 O"Clock train from London - Im hoping that will get me there on time?

Isn"t that why they make timetables...or am I missing something?

[Marty719]

Duno wat time it starts - thus duno wat time is good for me to get there - plus have to check into hotel.

[Paulie_D]

Kick off is at 14.30 but you should be there well before that to ensure that they have you logged in and/or registered at DTD if you haven"t been there before.

Looks like the trip is around 2 hours so 10am departure from a major London Terminus should be OK

Hotel might not let you check-in before 2pm (a lot don"t) but that will be mentioned in your booking. If your hotel won"t let you check in early, you might be able to leave your bag with them until you can.

Worth checking beforehand.

Don"t worry - the Northern Ireland team was 3 hours late last year and it had no effect on their result.

That"s incorrect John.  The three players who turned up late each scored more points than the player who was there on time.  GG Gerard.
