Captain's Thread

[nosey-p]

In any other team game you are only ever up against players from another team, so no other team game analogy can be used.

Big hands are going to clash. I want to score as many points as I can, and I want the team to get as many points as it can, but I can"t think of many situations in which I would fold Aces just because a team mate raised before me.

The only way a genuinely unselfish poker team event can be played out is if no-one pays to play and there is no prize money per MTT (mind you, I probably still wouldn"t fold Aces on principle !), or it is arranged as a series of isolated STTs with one team representative per table.

The live APAT team event avoids clashes for the most part (early on anway) because it is 20 teams of only 8 players each.  The online version is closer to the opposite scenario. 

This is one of the best APAT live games and I would love to be there as Yorkshire captain

It"s fun watching you guys knock each other out. Please don"t stop it  


My own 2p is that the buy-in should be 0+1, then you would see the game played much differently. Unfortunately there are too many who say they play for the team but really just want the individual $$$ (300+ up top is significant for a 9 buyin). Those players would not play 0+1 and I wouldn"t miss them.

One way on making it a pure team game would be to not have individual payouts and pay out all the team that played equally, does not matter where you finish you all get the same money  


This is getting off topic, if we need to continue this then we will start a new thread

There is no game this Sunday due to a small game happening in Glasgow. The next game will be the 21st Oct.

The subject of Team Tactics as arisen over the last week which I see has a good thing for 2 reasons, 1st, it shows me that we are thinking of the team and 2nd, more of us are coming up against teammates which tells me we are getting more of us going deep.

See Team or Individual

If you have not played yet this will be your last chance to play in 8 games so you can qualify for the freeroll.

Good luck if you are playing in Glasgow, Nottingham, West Brom or anywhere else , I will be in Sheffield so good luck to me

Tonight is the 3rd game of the APAT league

Starts at 7.00 1 hour late reg

APAT on-line (poker.co.uk)

Password: apatmember

As always I will try to keep you up-to-date with who"s playing, chip counts and exits.
If you have not played yet then this is the last opportunity to qualify for the GPS freeroll (play 8 games)    
Also tonight is the Scottish on-line championships also at 7.00 so if you are multi tabling make sure that the league comes first                  

We have made a good start to the league,  joint top after 2 games but the league is tight with 9 teams out of 12 scoring points, we need to keep the numbers up as some of the other teams have strengthen over the last couple of weeks. 

If you can play, please do

Good luck

Wayne
