As for folding AA when up against a team-mate, well, in my opinion, you have to make the decision that is right for your team.
Good luck everyone.

I"m not sure how well I do clarify it, but on the example you give of having AA preflop against my team-mate, I"m folding and happy that I"m not cheating anyone and playing in the best interests of my team. Unless my team-mate has significantly more chips than me, then I"m sticking the aces in his eye and hoping he doesn"t bust me with K4o. ;)

you clarified it fine! I would not fold aa against someone from another team- therefore it is a form of soft play or tsctical play- as long as we know this is not against the rules we can do it. It makes sense in a team situation, but not in a pure poker sense. ( the only other situation where it would be sensible is on the bubble in a qualifier). For hte record I would not have done it in the earlier rounds. I just want to make sure that all is above board and that we all know what is acceptable and what isnt.

I hope that won"t be determined by how far your team goes Dan?
Please remember it is a level playing field for all teams and it is the APAT National Final, so it is a much bigger event than the league stages. If a team doesn"t get it right tonight, there is no coming back in two weeks time.
Be aware also that several major potential sponsors are viewing this thread and the S4 thread including Blue Square, assessing the value APAT could bring to them next season, so you guys are representing more than just your clubs tonight and I expect the APAT ethos to be carried through to the end.

No it won"t, and apologies, maybe Joke wasn"t the best word to be used. Just a little concerned that as already pointed out, 2 major factors may come into play
1. if a club has 3/4 of its players on the same table, could prove advantageous....
2. if a player is the only one left from a club, and believes he is playing with no hope of winning anything........
again, i appreciate the difficulty you guys have and re-iterate the fact that the league has been fantastic fun from start to finish, and even with the low buy in i have found myself wanting to put probably more effort into the league events, than in higher stake events that i usually play. i plan on continuing that ethos into tonight and will give 100%.
