Just got back from the Black Country Summer Deepstack event and believe it or not, I read through this whole thread for the first time as I didn"t know it was here !!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Des and all of the APAT team who may have had a say in choosing me to Captain the England team. Having played in the event last year I looked on that as a tremendous honour. How good is it to be able to say that you have been chosen from hundreds if not thousands of players to play for your Country?
This year though, to actually have the chance to pick the side goes one better. Believe me, I feel honoured to be in this position and I promise you all that I will choose the team fairly and pick one that I believe is good enough and committed enough to go on and lift the trophy. I also promise that the white jacket will be reappearing !!
I would like to ask anyone interested in playing to PM me by clicking on the earlier link and let me know the following.....
1. your name
2. your poker background
3. Any tournaments, etc.... won this season
4. what qualities you think you can bring to the team.
Please remember that this is a TEAM event and players should bear that in mind and also remember that they will be playing a series of SNG,s plus heads-up games on each day (plus tighty"s SNG "specials" afterwards......probably ! )
I intend taking all of the above into account when choosing my final squad and I intend to announce this early in the first week in August.
I will only consider those players who contact me though and also remember that if you are registered to play any other events at DTD on the Thursday and/or Friday, you would not be able to play these and play for England aswell.
COME ON ENGLAND !!
