Yea, pretty gutted also that ITM has been removed after a two year stint. I know it"s tenuous as we r a somewhat dormant podcast and not a proper poker group, but after seeing the list of entries it"s "seems" more little homegames are creeping in.
Never mind. Let"s hope these new ones turn up on the Friday and stay till yen end of Sunday and support all of the APAT games that weekend.
GL all
Just to echo this, I am so disappointed not be given the opportunity to attend now as this was a real personal highlight of the season last year.
Given all the members of ITM have supported APAT for a long term - traveling to all the events on mass, getting involved in things like the cash tour, the online events etc. I don"t really understand what has happened for us not to justify a place. Feels like a slap in the face.
Good luck to all on the day and hope it is a good one.
Yea, i was thinking about it all day at the Goliath and it really bugged me.
Team Gotham, was created because of APAT, without APAT we would exist/know each other and last year that wasnt enough for the group to get in. Ok, we played for my "podcast" but primarly the group are all die hard APAT players, that travel to pretty much all English based legs.
£200 Wembley Event, the core of TG/ITM where there.
When asked to test Des" poker betting idea, we where there.
When asked to support the cash tour, we were there (and pretty much the only ones)
7 solid days of WCOAP, in London, we all were there and most played every event poss for the full 7 days.
Online Legs, always there.
Core of us frequent the forum, and buy/sell pieces to help the community play more poker
I, for one, as captain promote APAT whereever i go, via social media etc.
We boast 3 of the Top 4 of last years rankings (you only get up there by playing events)
God knows how many medals/bracelets between us.
Always at the top desk, chatting to help improve, move things forward.
You may think, typical Dann, moaning but to be honest it feels like a kick in the teeth when you spend your spare time doing this and then you get overlooked, in favour of some private homegames.
APAT built TG/ITM group, but refuses to give us the chance once a year to play as a team.
Thanks
