Hey everyone - it"s that time! The new league starts this Sunday 3 April - 8pm.
We did incredibly well in the last league, just being edged out into second place overall in the last game. There were only two teams in the running, with us having more than double the points of the third-placed team:
Division 1 Points
1st Walsall 19
2nd Solent 15
3rd Liverpool 6
4th Bristol 5
5th Cardiff 4
6th Birmingham 4
7th Belfast 3
8th Stockton-on-Tees 2
9th Edinburgh 2
10th Manchester 0
We have a cracking team and I am hopeful we can perform just as well this time round. A couple of large teams have come up from Division 2, so we need everyone to play as many games as possible. If you know anyone who may be interested in joining us, please bring them in.
The games will be played on the 888poker site this time, so players need to register there and post their 888 name on the Solent sign-up thread: SOLENT (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=8262.0). This has to be done before the game starts or any points scored don"t count.
Remember to register for the correct tournament - we are in Division 1 and the password for the game is apatdiv1
Let"s do it!

Been a bit distracted this evening, but back with it now. I believe we have 22 players running for Solent this evening, as below. No doubt I have missed someone.

1st break and only 2 of the 43 eliminated were ours.
steveinhants, abastinado, Esc2Victory, wightline, RedAxeWound and skippylppl all in the top 30.
-
AK v AK. Didn"t end well for me.
Back in the pack, but still with a solid stack :)
-
Pepper3000 is ours too. Why do I always miss you, Gary?
We"ve lost several more now, but then half the field has been knocked out already.
-
Don"t remember it being as fast as this before - 140 eliminated out of 216 at the second break.
Of the 76 left, we have 8:
9 Perrygarl
17 MintTrav
22 abastinado
30 wightline
47 steveinhants
49 RedAxeWound
56 mporter1
58 RobD1973uk
Anything is still possible.
-
I"ve had AK v AK (and lost) and TT v TT so far in this comp.
Am looking forward to seeing a hand and then seeing my opponent with something different - hopefully worse...
-
Oh dear, we"ve had a disastrous session.
abastinado, Perrygarl, mporter1, RobD1973uk, steveinhants & wightline gone.
Only MintTrav & RedAxeWound left - RedAxeWound riding high in 2nd.

And then there was one, good lick RedAxeWound, represent and PWN!

Yeah, turned over twice when I knew I was winning. QQ<78.
Not gonna collect any team points so you"re playing for yourself now Dave.
-
Cheers both,
Will do my best. Getting the usual comments about my play which amuses me as per usual. I seem to piss off people wherever I play! Love it!
-
MTT poker, gotta love it.
-
Ofc I bubble the points. TT v AK, K on the river. Worthwhile 4 hours for $10.80 profit, sigh!

You should be grateful you made a profit. I cashed for $10.80 total. Just deduct the buyin of $11 for a net profit of minus 20c!

Unlucky man, we just got to do a little more next week.

-$0.20.
Not the worst result you"ve probably had lol.

Can"t decide whether this was a typo or if you just got one through ;D

Yeah, poker is rough at times, when you think better play has lost out. Sometimes you can absorb a bad beat, but a second one in short succession does for you. Woody had a similar experience last night, and I"m sure there were others I haven"t heard. I had two near the end as well, the first taking me from 4/35 to 27/35 and the second from 22/27 to out, but I"m too cheesed off about them to post the details.
Woody"s:
Ax v Jx. Board AJxxJ. Lots of chips on every street.
Two hands later - against the same player:
Ax v Jx. Board AJxxJ. Lots of chips on every street.
As you say, sometimes there is nothing you can do.
Post your bad beats here!
Anyway, we went well for a while, faltered, made a comeback, but in the end it wasn"t our night. With these huge fields, it is important that everyone keeps turning up. Variance plays a big part in the result, so we need enough volume to absorb it. The points are likely to be spread around quite thinly, so catching up should be very achievable.
Same time, same channel - next week!

OK, my turn for a bitch and a bad beat!
Lost a few chips early, got most of them back...moved table to sit between 2 Solent players... lost a few more chips...
Down to about 2k chips on BB and teammate utg makes big raise! Great! Fold! Discussion in chat box ensues, I"m told soft playing isnt an option! Funny, I thought this was team game! Not asking for soft playing but I thought the point was to keep as many team members in as possible???
Anyway carried on a few more hands.. yipee KK... shove...called by AQ...hits A and Q of course! Left with about 800 chips, out couple of hands later..
Please can we have some suggestions on how to play against our own team members!
