Where has the fun gone??!!

Jeffers:
Swinebag, spot on. I wasn"t complaining about collusion, rather that it"s too easy for people to accuse others of this.

AMRN:
@ the OP - I think you"re right! Since I joined APAT 18 months ago, I"ve loved everything it stands for..... but feel that a lot of the good stuff is taken for granted nowadays, rather than being appreciated for what it is. There is so much moaning about structures, formats, seat counts, changes, prices, satellites, sponsor poker room, etc etc etc...... many people (myself included at times!) would do well to take a step back and consider the positves before continually voicing and repeating the perceived negatives.

@ Boingblitz - no I don"t think it is collusion for you to advise your team-mate on the state of the team competition. Clearly if you tell him that your Hand History on a player suggests a certain action would be best, that would be illegal.... but simply stating freely available information to make sure your team mate has all the available info in his sights is simply good team management.

@ Swinebag - imo there is nothing wrong with soft play in the team event, so long as it is within reason. Raise/Folding for the purposes of chip dumping is an absolute no-no, but folding the better hand to avoid putting a team mate at risk is perfectly fine (imo). On Sunday miiiiike was down to 3xBB and shoved - I was in the BB with KK and folded. I don"t think I cheated - this was just part of the team dynamic. Clearly if I had open raised KK, then folded to a small shove from a team-mate, that would be chip dumping and would be different.


As for the garbage that went on during Sunday night"s tourney across the Betfair chatbox, the Forum, and Facebook - this was just so far away from APAT standards, and I"m pleased that appropriate action was taken. If we all played perfect poker, then we wouldn"t be on an Amateur tour ffs!!


APAT FTW!

smileriraq:
glad this thread came about i stated something similar on one of the other threads

but glad to see that the genuine APAT spirit is still alive n kicking

Roscopiko:
Doubt there are many social groups who complain as much as poker players tbh.  :o

Mikeyboy9361:
there are so many places to play poker now that if you dont like apat, then you can hop it! Personally i play for the great value tourneys and the fun of sparring woth players you know. It is almost like playing live but on line. As regards comments re structure etc, i would like to think the majority are constructive, and that des and co take them on board. Fwiw i think apat is great, and gives so much to us recreational players.
