Difference in standard
UKChamp:
The key point here I think is not the perceived deficit in standard between pro circuit and APAT events but the standard of APAT event play in isolation. Most players are new(ish) to the game and as such I expect the quality of play to evolve.
I know myself my game is far beyond that of last year. To the point where I cringe at some of the memories!
Should keep people on there toes too, unlike a pro circuit I guess where the big guys have played each other for years. I may observe someone playing a specific way in one event and 12 months later come accross them again to find what is affectivley to all intents a different player.
All in all should be fun though!!

The more I play- the more convinced I am playing a LAG style is the way to go these days early in tourneys. Esp. with the size of fields you need chips to get chips. I tended to play TAG and ended up taking races for my tourney life when reshoving with a medium stack or pushing all in whereas if u manage to get chips early u can avoid races or if you take them, they dent your stack slightly not cripple you.
Saying that- it"s very risky early doors as my 120th place in Birmingham is proves *bows head in shame*

You"ve made up for that early exit. At one stage I thought you might go on to win at the weekend. That would have had a nice symmetry about it ;D.
Playing LAG early doors does help you to accumulate chips - but it doesn"t guarantee anything. Although you might not be racing for your tournament life in the middle stages, you will often be racing against others who can decimate the large stack you"ve built up.
It"s certainly how many of the pros play (and many at that APAT events) - LAG it up early, get a big stack and batter the others with it. If they bust out, so be it. They look forward to the next one.
The key is being able to mix up your game, and also playing taking into account the others at the table.

LAG or TAG is it all about timing ????
Don"t know but I think there was a quote in the Cincinnati Kid "That"s what it"s all about, isn"t it? Making the wrong move at the right time"
