In a perfect world Adrian you are right but poker is such an individual game plus when you add money into the equation then it"s impossible to play the perfect team game.
This is not 11 vs 11 it"s 1 vs 150, unless we are all in the same room and able to see each other"s cards.
We have to look at this as a good thing it shows that we are getting a good turnout and that we have had so many players going deep. This means that we are going to come up against team mates more often.
The hand that Dave mentioned (AQ v AK) hands like this are going to clash, it"s up to each individual how they play it. Sian short stack pushers (correct) I think it was Baz (not sure) who was medium to short chips (cannot remember total) calls after sometime. In any other game it would be a snap call but he thought about it and decided that even against a team member, that this was the right play for him. If he had more chips then he may have folded. I have to be honest and say that I would have probably called in the same situation
What pleases me is that we are talking about this, it shows that we care for the team to win
Like I said to Dave I will give a better response later (probably in my next email).

Fair point, I too would have called. I"m not sure how the hand turned out but I would have tried to check it out. The only time I wouldn"t is if the game was at a later stage and someone needed to push on looking for points.

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.
