he did the only right thing

disagree...sit out/fold it back for 5 mins , then raise every hand

lol

I disagree, after playing for 7 hours Soho obviously had internet connection issues, and to raise the blinds each hands was just not cricket.

[Chipaccrual]

Not a very classy way to win, should he have sat out?

I would have to agree, but it is down to the player to make the decision.


For anyone that didn"t see it, whilst heads up and around even stacks, Steve Bayliff got disconnected from the site.

Really unfortunate timing.  Out of APAT's control, and it"s really down to the players involved as to how you choose to deal with a situation like that.

why lol?..

I think he should have given Steve at least 5 minutes. I spoke to Steve on the phone and told them he was having problems but was sorting it.

Not very APAT at all!

[scouse3465]

tried to deal 50 50 cos had 20 mins left on battery life( and i was chip leader and better player imo ) , got a no , fair enough! buut bit sik to lose that way ! went from 2 - 1 chip adv to 1 - 2 and stuck it with qj v a rag cos though con stil ****ed ! , but he called and won . shame cos if he calls won b4 i lose connection i still in , but all very apat ! well played mate win cos i lose connection my faulft but all in spirit of apat . like to say deserve it but you dont !

[scouse3465]

not for apat he didnt !! joke !

[cgull69]

At least 5 minutes should have been given, if not longer.

I cant even believe that some people are even questioning as to why, I would imagine that the majority of APAT players would have sat out and given the guy a chance.

IMHO a very shallow victory

[Swinebag]

well played guys - I led a charmed life before busting in about 40-50th with KK < AQ.

Did a TT > KK to get there though.

On a happier note, my forgiveness of 888 for stealing my money (t&c"s allowing of course) and my subsequent resolve to play as many tourneys on there as I could has paid off.

I managed to take down the $20 rebuy for $1600 tonight (may have to start my blog up again)

[scouse3465]

calmed down a bit now, but still not impressed with how it ended. my fault lost internet . By the way was sat playin on a cold fire escape using free wireless till lap top died not good lol. anywyay well done to whoever won fully deserved lol
hope the winner has some self respect and plays me for title, keep money would like to play agin from when i lost connection for title gold medal etc but if not no prob you desrve it !

[joffus18]

gg all. sorry i might have gone too far in stirring things up at the forums. sorry about that

[Laxie]

Ugh.  Abso gutted for ya Steve.  Know how you feel because it happened to me a few weeks back playing a random tourney. 

However, random tourney is one thing...it should NEVER have happened in an APAT event imo.  Very poor form by the "winner".
