Five poker variants?? Really?????

I scrolled down hoping to see some stud, O8, maybe some draw and even HORSE only to find 4 lots of one variant. Advertising standards authority will be getting involved methinks.  ;)

ps how does a heads up tourney work with 60 mins late reg?

Post by: AMRN on March 22, 2011, 22:24:18 PM
lol @ 5 poker variants.... 4xNLHE, and 1xPLO.

Great idea though. Glad PLO is on Wednesdays - can make that one. Equally glad the deepstack is on Fridays - can"t make Fridays ;)

Can"t make week 1 due to being in hospital  :( but week 2 looks good for my recovery period  ;D.

Agree with the others that this would be so much better if it included other variants but nevertheless asd it is it looks great and can"t wait to get involved.

One question Leigh, I can"t make Cardiff, if I win a seat can it be transferred to another event?

On the variants comments.

I could have gone totally wild with this, but don"t want to scare anyone from playing, as if these types of leaderboards prove popular, then we"ll look to run more.

There"s enough variation in NLHE 6max, heads up, deepstack and some PLO, hopefully to keep players interested.  And at this buyin, if you"ve not played a heads up tourney, or a PLO tourney, nows a good time to give it a try.

I"m looking to run tournaments that cover all that the software has to offer, so get playing, and we"ll run more in the future.

[  ] I too am completely outraged at the lack of badugi and razz and lowball. The fact that the software doesn"t support it is no excuse.

enjoy the wait busman.

But seriously, its just a bit of fun FFS and a great chance for the APAT community to support our sponsor

Due to a slight issue with the setup of the software, we"ve had to change the Thursday night game from a Heads Up Shootout, to a Super Short Handed MTT.

Apologies to anyone looking forward to the Heads Up, but when testing the software, there were some problems, which we won"t get resolved in time, and I"d rather change it now, than have problems on the night of the tournament.

They are working on it, but there is a problem with the "shootout" aspect of it.  The tourney was running as a 2 handed MTT, which was interesting, but very open to abuse.

So, it will now be a 3 handed MTT, which should be as interesting, and less open to abuse.   ;D

Well, as i don"t normally get home until 6.30-7.30 working late will mean later than that therefore it"s going to be a struggle this week to play more than 1 or 2 and they"d be late reg so not worth it. Rather play the full week next week and be in with a shout in the league. May manage tonights game.

Well played tonight Bill.

It"s a tough one, as we want as many players to have the chance to play as possible.  A 7pm start means a finish no later than 11pm on a weeknight, which I think suits people.  By offering a 60 minute late reg, we give those getting home later a chance to still buyin.

Just got to find a balance.  Great turnout guys.  Much appreciated.   ;D

I"m not a fan of late regging either to be honest. I know it"s a bit of fun and I understand the requirement to get the numbers up...

... but if you late regged at the last minute you bagged a minimum of 50 points - almost half the points on offer. I imagine that if an unscrupulous so-and-so did that every night they could do quite well.  ::)

Yes Im with you on that one i played for over four hours and to think that someone could have reg late and got half my points for coming in late and then just sitting out is a little bit galling but is there a way round this if we want to get numbers up.
Or is it a 888 thing the late reg? ??? ???
Certainly cant remember it before

Post by: Chipaccrual on April 05, 2011, 12:24:11 PM
It"s not an 888 thing, I requested it, to give players a chance to play, without it turning into a past midnight finish.

About 35 players late regged last night.  Not sure how many had been knocked out at the first break, but I"m guessing somewhere around the 30 mark.  We"ll keep an eye on it.

Not quite. I did make it in at the last minute and found myself in 50th place, but there were 71 still in at the time, so I bagged myself a minimum of 71st. There is nothing unscrupulous about it. No-one will default into the top two places that way. In fact, I gave a bigger lead to the leaders than is wise if I want to take it down.

Post by: Marty719 on April 05, 2011, 12:36:31 PM
Please don"t remove late reg from any 888/APAT tournaments.  It helps people who get in late from work play, and also improves the numbers/prizepool.  Since the prizes are top heavy and consistent results are required (not mid-table), then I dnt see how its a big thing for this promotion.

ps - as its an option to everyone, surely those who thinks its an unfair advantage could late-reg themselves???
Title: Re: APAT Bunch Of Fives Leaderboards on 888poker
Post by: PantsMan on April 05, 2011, 12:37:53 PM
Surpised people are seeing late regging as some kind of advantage. The reason i"m not playing this week is that the starts are too early as i"m having to work late and if I were to play i"d have to late reg to most games. That to me is a big disadvantage. I"m coming in short stacked and miles behind the leaders. Yes i may pick up points for finishing 30th - 50th but i doubt the top players are going to be topping the leaderboard with a bunch of mediocre finishes.

Late reg is available on most of the top sites and in lots of live games too but i avoid it unless i have to. It"s certainly not giving players an advantage.

There is nothing unscrupulous about it.


I"m sorry if that sounded like an accusation John, it was merely a hypothesis. I"m not having a go at yourself or anyone else. I just prefer to know the size of the field when a tourney begins.

If not having a late finish is a consideration, then it seems counterproductive to encourage the number of runners to swell by 30 or 40% (or possibly more), during the first hour. I"m just having a moan because I played crap last night, I feel rough and the Day Nurse tabs haven"t kicked in yet..  ;)

Yes all valid points and mintrav is right if  you do late reg you do run the risk of having less chips than people still left in with
bigger antes and blinds so it is not an advantage.
And of course we want more players bigger prize pools so if late reg is a way to get this then no problems with it  ;D ;D

Ok, how about we allow Leigh to have multiple entries (a bit like the Full Tilt tourneys). That way we swell the pot without adding any extra talent to the player pool.

Post by: Swinebag on April 05, 2011, 18:16:20 PM
Can"t see how late reg will give players an advantage. It just annoys players who go out first in 80th and then find they finished last in 111th. Still means 1 point whatever for finishing last.

Late reg just means if you finish last you are further away from the winner and have more to catch up in later games.

I think the reasoning for late reg here solves more problems (earlier finish / latecomers can still play) over creating more problems (upsetting people who donk out earlier only to finish behind a late regger)

I"m just glad that my suggestion for S5 has been taken up

"could we have monthly tighty type blonde leagues that help support the sponsor?"

"Bunch of 5"s" though come on - surely "pieces of 8" would have been more apt

Don"t agree with the late reg at all but nevermind.... Just finished 5th... Very happy to make the final table.




Although I don"t like or agree to the late reg after tonight and not being home in time I have just figured out how to use it to my advantage....

Just need somebody else now to log me on tomorrow...

Is there any way you can make sure that the lobby info contains the details about Late Reg and Re-Buy periods?

Can you at least confirm how long the Late Reg and Re-Buy periods are for tonight"s sat.

Thankyou muchly.

It normally does show it, but we have a link to the apat site, where they normally put it.  I blame Mr Duffy.   ;D

I"m going to be guessing as to tonight (60 mins for rebuys, 30 mins for late reg), so will fire off an email now for further info.

Played the first two, intended to play them all... not quite ready before 7.00pm... no probs an hour late reg... or maybe not!!

That"s some value lost from the remainder of the week.

No decision made.  Looks like a mistake in setup, currently onto 888 to see if they are able to reopen it now.

We advertised it as late reg, and it should be 60 minutes late reg.

If they can"t re-open it, it"s probably best just to void the tournament with regard to the league rankings.  ::)

888 have come back to me, and they can"t open it back up now it"s running, and apologise for the setup error.

So, I now find myself between a rock and a hard place.

If I include tonights tourney, I upset those that couldn"t get in.

If I exclude tonights tourney, I upset those that are playing it.


I love my life sometimes.   ;D


The only fair solution, which amazingly will keep all of the people happy, all of the time, is to run two leaderboards this week.  One including tonight, one excluding tonight.  If at the end of the week, we have a different top two for each, then we will increase the seats in the Grand Final freeroll.

Will have to get the go ahead from 888 to possibly offer an extra 1st place package of goodies aswell.


Hope that decision meets with everyones approval ?

And again, apologies for the late reg problems tonight.

You know I can"t go full throttle and win one of these Andy.  52nd / 145  is respectable enough, without giving the conspiracy theorists an opportunity to question the integrity of either myself or the 888poker software.

A small cash last night, in what was clearly the most skillful game of the week so far, gives people a glimpse at reality, but lets be honest, how many poker players actually want to live in that real world ?

If players knew I was bringing my "A" game to these events, numbers will drop, as everyone else is playing for 2nd place.  You only have to look at that "SUPER" team in the online league to see how much of an impact that has had on numbers.   ;)

Fair point, the conspiracy theorists would have a field day if you did win!

I"ve now updated the BCPC Deepstack posters.

Now with added value - Leigh is playing (don"t worry he"s not bringing his "A" game!).  :)

Intrigued to see the numbers we get in the online league as the season progresses. Doubt they"ll be quite so big but hopefully we can still get big fields and some excellent money up the top now.

Well, there"s another 4 weeks of leaderboards to go, and if numbers stay reasonably consistent, then I"m in a strong position to continue or run something similar.

It"s all down to the players, and support for the first week has been beyond my expectations, which is great.  Thank You.

Anyone that plays all five this week and doesn"t get into the top two will go into a draw to win five entries for next weeks leaderboard.

Play 5, Win 5.

I"ll draw one lucky player during Fridays deepstack.  Good Luck.

Anyone else ever have this problem on 888, when playing and either making notes, chatting in the chat box etc, you are about to push enter and at the same time it becomes you turn to act, you have suddenly min raised.....it has happenend to me everytime i play. Anyone know how to stop it please, becoming very annoying and costing me chips


click the little post button next to the chatbox instead of pressing the return button, or wait till you have folded.

It was fine combined with the slow blinds. PLO pots can escalate out of control and demolish your stack in one hand without you doing anything wrong, but the low blinds gave plenty of play. I also liked the blind structure cos I just arrived at 7.55 and was surprised to find that I still had 2745 chips.

Only my second ever PLO tournament, and really enjoyed it, Thought there was time to wait for decent starting hands (Aren"t they all in Omaha!) and plenty of play. Really like the addition of antes to speed it up later on. Definitely a PLO convert!

It was certainly the tightest omaha tourney i"ve ever played.  With 10 to a table I was waiting for multi playable hands, and ran card dead most of the game.  Very surprised I made it to the money, so was happy to go head to head with other shortie for one of us to double up.

I think you need to change the bit where you get it all in on the flop with top pair and a flush draw against two overs for a huge pot, but the other guy hits runner, runner wheel!  ::)

Apart from that it was fine.

Only thing i think should be changed is the points system , understand more points on runners etc but can it be say top 10% gets points or even points same as cash? If you cant make one night you cant really win . First week i made 3 out of 4 final tables i played and come no where near top.
And on a different note can the league  late registration be an hour too not half an hour ?

I suspect that a bias in favour of those who play all 5 games is actually the aim of the points system, and not generally seen as a flaw in it?

That"s not to say that I think it is a great system. As i suggested in a discussion on points scoring for the league, I think most $ won should be the determining factor. Just hanging on for points, but not needing to cash, just seems wrong to me.

One off games are a totally different thing but when you are playing 5 nights to try and actually win it then it"s pretty annoying.

I would normally agree with you but in that case why do we password protect the Sunday league games? Why is this any different? We are spending 5 nights and almost  $30 to play in a weekly league.

I think adding a password would be counter-intuitive to the idea of these tournaments - Bring new players to APAT via the link to the site in the lobby and provide cheap tourneys for regulars to enjoy with added value.

I have no problem with having lots of new players involved but can understand why some do. I would say that these tournaments are far from crapshoots, stacks are always deep enough to play. I know what you mean that some of the non-regulars will go a bit crazy, fair share of those in all tournaments.

I would personally leave it as is.

I think adding a password would be counter-intuitive to the idea of these tournaments - Bring new players to APAT via the link to the site in the lobby and provide cheap tourneys for regulars to enjoy with added value.

I have no problem with having lots of new players involved but can understand why some do. I would say that these tournaments are far from crapshoots, stacks are always deep enough to play. I know what you mean that some of the non-regulars will go a bit crazy, fair share of those in all tournaments.

I would personally leave it as is.


The issue is not "having a problem with having lots of new players involved" Mark. My personal issue is that this is a league type event, structured over 5 games, which totally changes the dynamics of each game and therefore if people want to play in it they should be apat members.

I think you should be pleased to have the additional players in these Debbie. They are no different really to players like me who play the odd one if I"m around but am unlikely to play enough times in one week to qualify for anything. They (we) are helping to keep your added value going. Also they help to swell the numbers towards the end of the week when people who are just playing for points and who got a poor start are likely to drop out. Games consisting of the small number who play every night might not encourage the site to continue with this.

surely if someone with an 888 account enters an APAT event, they become a member of APAT and are welcome to donate.

They may not be active members of the forum (otherwise that Young Ben should be banned ;D ;D) but they are part of our poker community

I think this league has been created to show 888 that APAT is worth sponsoring and its members are willing to support the site. If we are raking a fair bit for them then they will continue to offer the good value that is currently on offer.

rogue players upsetting the dynamics of a league that is essentially a bit of fun should really be low on a list of concerns

+1

That"s what I said. OK, well actually it wasn"t, but that"s what I meant.  ;D

My understanding is that if you play ANY APAT event then you become a member of APAT. So these players you are complaining about are actually APAT members.

My solution is to use the player notes function.  "LAG", "TAG", "High 3-bet %", "Calling Station" etc.

For these events maybe you need to use "plays like Ger" more often  :o

It actually goes a bit further than that...remember that anyone who had an account with our previous sponsors over previous seasons are also members...plus anyone who now has an 888 account are also members...plus anyone who has ever played a live event.

It adds up.

Yes, there are 7638* "official" forum members but you can multiply that by a significant factor when you add in all the "associated" APAT members.

* just checked.

OK so you are saying that because they are on 888 they are a member of APAT , in that case as we are on 888 also we should be able to play any of the tourneys on there that are password protected, AHHH don"t think so, We can"t play any of these so why?? should they be able to play apat tourneys
a password should be in place and if anyone wants to play join APAT to get it then no complaints !!

Because that"s not comparing the same things.

What other organisations/groups may have agreed with 888 is outside of the scope of the APAT agreement (I"d guess). Just because we are members of 888 doesn"t mean we"re part of the other groups.

That"s the deal....anyone on 888 IS an APAT member so they can play an APAT tourney....end of. The point of these type of things is to drive 888 membership and, if we"re lucky, spread the word about APAT.

Slapping on a password does neither of these things.

I"m happy to give up any perceived "exclusivity" in light of the added value...not that I"m playing the Bunch of Fives anyway.

What you"re saying here is correct of course.

But what about those random people from far flung corners of the globe who just happen to see the tourney in the lobby and throw their $5 at it - and the numbers are increasing. It seems slightly odd that they should be considered APAT members when they probably don"t even know what APAT is. I recognise the need for growth, but are we that desperate for members that we"ll consciously include people who don"t know who we are and what we stand for ?

Just playing devil"s advocate - seeing as everyone else has pooh poohed Deb"s OP  ;D

APAT (or 888) isn"t "consciously including" these "randoms"...it"s just that they aren"t consciously EXCLUDING them...which is a whole other thing.

Obviously 888 already has them but at least APAT has a shot at bringing them into the ranks. Who knows, perhaps one day APAT will go global and then all this groundwork will pay off.

Ian, your argument is flawed. When there was an APAT tournament in Newcastle last weekend some locals bought it and played - what"s the difference? It was an APAT event and called an APAT event.

Next you"ll be arguing to ban Scottish and Polish people from playing for Leeds ;)

Debbie, one of the great things about this forum is that people can freely state their opinions and have a debate. The management of APAt do listen to members views and it is always worthwhile commenting if you think you have more to add.

My problem with the league system as it is the fact that these 888 players with no knowledge of APAT.com have no idea what they are playing, not the fact that its APAT organized but the fact that its a league run on five consecutive nights with added value. How can tournaments in a league structure be played with a percentage of players who have no idea what they are in because it isn"t clear via the 888 lobby. I"d suggest make it password protected which can be accessed by all regardless of forum members of APAT but make them pass through here on an open-to-view forum that the password can be achieved. Then in the 888 lobby in the description say password can be found here, give link and there you have it.
You now have added value in the sense that people just wanting to play a mtt are now passing through apat.com to achieve the password meaning the participation shouldn"t be affected too much but the promotional affect is increased as new people are coming here to read the rules and they may eventually join the forum. They also now know what they are entering.

If they were serious and were trying for the Sunday Challenger or a live APAT event, surely they would look at the site and join APAT, I don"t think they should get the points if they are not an APAT member.

Raises in early position and calls my all in  KK with 4-7 os to hit a straight, usual 888 ******

Last nights Omaha was great fun, with a veritable APAT who"s who FT! With Dan Owston and Mat McKinley, we were only missing Scouse for officially the loudest FT ever! Wayne was hiding behind his sofa for most of the FT! Any way can I claim a bronze (Tony Trippier equalling) medal ? ;)

My apologies to XrayEye..

I was watching something on the TV and the kids were messing about and I noticed that I was on about 2 seconds....

Without looking properly I pushed a button quickly, should of been F5 to fold but pressed F6 by mistake to call the All-in.

Had  tc 6c and you guessed it... Hit the Flush and knocked out XrayEye... Sorry for winning that hand by mistake....

LOL. I once did the same with the same hand, although mine weren"t suited!

One of my first forays into multi-tabling and was struggling. Saw the raise and the shove, went to call a bet on another table and instead called on that one. First player got out of the way and i was ready to cry as i realised i"d shoved in over 3/4 of my stack. Until the flop came down 10-6-2 of course.

Suffice to say the guy with pocket Aces didn"t see the funny side (and didn"t believe it was a mistake!) and proceeded to abuse me in the chat box for the next hour, right up until the heads up which he took great delight in me losing. Until i pointed out he bubbled with aces against 10-6 os.   :)

Done it since but this time i was ready for the abuse and simply replied with "I figured i was ahead". That calms them down.   ;)

looking forward to the next promo - this was good fun - wd leigh

Could I suggest a league where players submit their results from any 888 tourney they want.

This way players can play any game at any buy in and still be competing for the title.

Tighty ran really good leagues on blonde that used this format, e.g. this was the one that was used to pick the blonde team for the UK team champs. (I got in - brag)

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=50350.0

The disadvantage would be that we would not neccessarily be playing the actual tourneys with fellow members, but the advantage is that members can play when they want at whatever buyin they are comfortable with..

It may also be a hassle to keep track of results on your part

Just a thought (albeit a stolen one)
