Team or individual play?
« on: March 08, 2012, 23:05:11 PM »
I"ve noticed on other team forum pages that the question of if/when you should play as a team player or as an individual. My view is that early on in the events I will play more as an individual with the exception of not trying to bluff a team member. Later on in the game when it gets nearer to the points situation I will play more as a team and soft play against team members as long as they are willing to do the same. What"s your views?


I will also be allocating a colour code on my player notes to make fellow team members easy to spot.

Good luck to all E of E members. Let"s TID.

Good post...for me it really is just about the team game. I play enough other poker for me and signed up to the old Luton team to play in a league with a team. Each to their own mind you!

Please guys, have a look at the rules around soft play just to be sure we dot land in hot water at all!

Always play for the Team, and try not to knock any of my team out, but fully respect playing for ones self, and have no issues with either style of play.

nearer the points, seems silly to play against your team-mate if avoidable...but you can"t MAKE people fold, bet, raise etc.

In the early stages with so many runners I think it"s best just to play your game. Agree once we get down to final 50 or so it makes sense to find out who your team-mates are.
