Posted on sponsors page .Had enough of blue square.No more on line for me.It"s a shame because i love the APAT tournaments, but enough is enough.I have supported apat from the start but the i poker makes it no fun any more.

I am with you all the way, last season we were spoilt with the pokerstars software and this year i poker.During this evenings tourney I have witnessed and been knocked out in 11th by quads. after seeing them 4 times ...........we also had a straight flush to the King followed by a royal flush 4 hands later, absolute *****

I"m a bit confused by all of these comments. What are people suggesting, the i-poker network is fixed ?
I have played on i-poker for years and never had any connection problems. I will admit that the user interface is not as friendly as some other sites (pokerstars especially), but I can"t see what all the fuss is about.
I can appreciate that some peoples computer setup may cause them some problems, but this can usually be resolved and I have seen plenty of people offering advice on other threads to this end.
I think its an easy option to have a go at the software and it all then appears negative towards APAT aswell, which I am sure is not the aim of any of the members.
Having played most of this seasons online events I have found them quite friendly and starting to get used to who people are and starting to see familiar names when it gets down to the crunch.
It will get my continued support and remember even if you aren"t happy with what you are getting now, with the work of Des and the team, it will only get better, so stick with it would be my advice.

Leigh.Now that i have had time to calm down i will try and get all my problems sorted out.I never stated that i poker was rigged in any way at all,and if i came across in any way negative towards apat then i can only apologise.Hopefully if i can get things sorted at my end then i will continue to support apat as much as i have done in the past.

I personally would not say that it is fixed,BUT some of the outdraws are becoming very predictable, during live sessions you never see 4 lots of quads, when have you seen a straight flush followed by a royal flush 4 hands later, and this was in 3 hours of tournament poker. I also had connection problems after exiting the comp. I think the statement box quoted that " there was something wrong with the isp connection"
I can echo mickey"s statement in that I have supported APAT since conception and will continue to do so,BUT ( there are always but"s) missing pokerstars professionalism/ software.
WarBwastardo:
I"ve only played one of the APAT tournies on Blue Square, but in the hour or so I played I did hit quad aces while some poor bloke was betting into me with a full-house. I also saw someone hit quad eights and one straight flush. It also appeared to be very rare for the person who had the best of it when the money went, to actually win the hand.
I don"t know about it being rigged, but it does seem to have an obvious bias towards rewarding very aggressive play, but the software obviously can"t distinguish between aggressive play and just plain being a donkey....consequently, it means trapping someone becomes impossible.
If this assumption is correct it just means the guy who falls into the trap will out-draw his opponent cause the software recognises his all-in shove as aggression and rewards him with the pot, rather than the guy who did everything right setting the trap and getting his money in with the best of it.
