APAT Tournaments v others

<< < (2/3) > >>

Swinebag:
I"ll give a serious reply (or try to)

APAT tournaments tend to have players opening, 3 betting and peeling a lot tighter than other tournaments such as DTD deeps, UKIPTs and GPS........IMO

However it is pretty lazy thinking to label a whole field and base decisions based on what type of tourney it is.

There are a few spots where you may have moved tables and do not have many/any reads.

e.g. you open with TT in the h/j from a 35 BB stack and an unknown SB shoves a 15BB stack in your eye. I"m probably snapping here but in an APAT tournament I still snap but am not as happy about it.

So to answer your question, Stew, I don"t think you can make too many adjustments and just play each table and player as it comes

I"d agree with Rob in that APAT tables are generally tighter. There used to be a lot of tight-weak play but not so much of that these days.

As for UKIPT, the only one I"ve played I had a shocker of a starting table. Couple of WSOPE final tablists, Sunday Mill winner, EPT final tablist. Fortunately I got moved pretty quick to a table with some marks!

WYoung83:
Pretty much the last paragraph of what Rob said imo. Although in apats i did find you can exploit the last level of day 1, and the start of day 2 just before the bubble. (not that it happens often for me  :()

deanp27:
Not played many APATs in last 3 years but they were definitely nittier in early stages. This lead to fewer early busts but more pressure around the 600 and 800 blind levels etc when there were more stacks just below average.
This may have changed though over past couple of years.
