APAT UK Online Championship - Saturday 10th January 8pm - Discussion
Mikeyboy9361:
All tourneys are won with a combination of skill and a big slice of luck. Anyone who tells you he has won a tournament without luck is a liar. If luck wasn"t a big part of the game the top players would win all the time. But they don"t.
So people slagging off fellow players when they got lucky is very poor form, just suck it in, don"t comment and play the next hand. We have all suffered bad beats, bad calls and horrendous rivers, but if you play this game you better get used to it!!
So I say to last nights winner, well played fella, I hope to play you in Walsall and the next online events, and hope that I might get lucky and win one of these fabulous APAT events later in the season.

... luck is of course a big factor but why make a structure that tips the weighting away from skill?
The event could easily start earlier or end later - there seems to be an unwritten code that everyone needs to get to bed for 1 a.m.
I think if you are playing face to face getting home is a pretty reasonable criteria, but if you are online what is the issue?
The tournament has a great structure for the first 2/3 hours but then becomes a gun fight.
Of course I know that before I start but if the idea of the APAT is perhaps to prepare people for the big time (perhaps it"s not) then a slower structure would be great. Stretch it two more hours or create the pace by adding in antes (which gives more incentive to steal from earlier positions).
I agree there is no point in bemoaning bad beats but less of these at a slower pace.
