In the beginning
nosey-p:
Played 2 games this week in the APAT Allstars, 6 max on Monday top 3 paid I came 4th. Razz last night,top 3 got paid I came 5th. It"s a shame the points are on money won and not the top 10.
Lost a flip in the 6 max when holiding AK v 44, I hit the A but a 4 also came.
When I played regular online, my go to game when i got board of holdem was Razz so was looking forward to last nights game. Lost most of my chips when betting a 6 low for them to have the nuts but realy enjoyed it.
Don"t think I will be playing anymore in the present league but will try to play from the first game in the next league

I don"t play a great deal live, and it"s been a few years since I last went to DTD, but would get the same play in a $50 comp there?
If I was to play in a 25/25 game would the standed be diffrent?

I don"t go to DTD these days, but I dare say it"s pretty similar, and probably much the same in the early stages of the bigger games given the volume of satellite winners.
tbh, I"m not sure if we want it to be too different. The fundamental issues, IMO, are that we "make hands, get paid" and that we remember the adage that you can"t rep a hand against someone who isn"t thinking about what you might have.
25/25? Not sure, I mean, there are some good players to be found in those fields, but who wants to spend their life battling with Simon Deadman and Andy Hulme for every pot?
I"m playing my first GPS Mini next week, I"ll let you know how it goes.

IMO only 25/25 play similar to normal comps, found th £500 much harder to get chips, only vey little limping seen in 2 days, the only guy who limped was constantly 3/4 bet and he was out fairly quick. Ack to the sights of NYC, just had a small break in being a tourist.

Back in the days when I played £1000 buy in tournaments (when I could win seats in satellites) I played the UKIPT 6-max.
Not only was there no limping, there wasn"t a lot of calling. Fun day out that one.

The first thing I look for when the new season is announced is where and when is the Team Champs, to my delight it was in Blackpool just over an hour 1/2 drive for most of the Yorkshire team. To me this tournament is one if not the best event of the whole calendar. Its the only time I let myself have a drink and poker becomes more of something to do rather then the main reason. The only thing we have to do now is get our team in. Since the start of the online team games Yorkshire Poker Club have always had team(s) entered in them right back to when it was a regional league. We have always supported APAT whenever we could so was surprised when unfortunately we did not get a place. But when you look further into it its not so much of a surprise. Firstly our record is appalling, I think finishing last in 2 of the last 3 years and the other year was not much better, and with the event being over subscribed it was just our turn to miss out.
What makes it more depressing is when you see all the teams being announced and all the familiar names who you would have a good drink and chat with. Now my first thought was since my own team (YPC) did not get a place I could always try and get in the APAT team however the team was picked before the teams were announced so not giving anyone else the opportunity to play for APAT.
So my next thought was to put a post up saying that I was available if needed, however while all this is going through my mind the Mrs had gone and booked a weekend away on the same weekend :(
So this year I wont be at the Team Championships but if APAT can have it in Leeds or Sheffield next year to make up for YPC not being there this year, I would be grateful. (I think the chances are nil :D)
