I never intended to "Seem superior" in any way, if that comment was aimed at me, Brendan, nor was I intending to make out that any (or all) of my players were.
My ONLY reason behind my original posting was to avoid a nightmare scenario whereby someone in my current top 8 has a bad week at BCPC and drops out, thus being too late to apply to APAT to play for them.

I don"t doubt your intentions at all Brian, but nonetheless the theme of your posts in this thread are at best disrespectful and at worst condescending in the extreme.
Statements like....

Just had a browse through the Apat team thread, imho Steve has some awesome talent to select from notwithstanding the fact he may also have access to some top players with BCPC affiliations.
Disclaimer:
I"d like to go on record to categorically state that I don"t now nor have I ever, had any grievance with the "BCPC" or any of its affiliates. TBH I genuinely acknowledge BCPC as an authentic hotbed of UK poker talent and some top folk too.

i"ve applied to join the APAT team. I know I"ve only an outside chance anyway (although there"s always the random pick!), but some of the posts on here made me seriously consider withdrawing my application altogether this afternoon, as I couldn"t help but think that if I was lucky enough to be offered a place there will be a significant number of people who would think it was undeservedt. But, I thought about it, and it"s up to Steve what criteria he uses to select the team, and when he announces it imo. No one should be a shoe in, and, imvho, everyone who is part of APAT should feel able to put their name forward regardless of how high their APAT profile and how good their results are. I think it would be helpful if everyone else stopped trying to do the captain"s (already very difficult) job for him, and if anyone else has been put off applying, I would urge you to go for it!
BOINGBLITZ:
CLAW....go for it and good luck
Brendan, I take onboard your comments, but re-iterate that my intentions were good (Love the disclaimer !)
Mary...why can nobody see your post ?......because it was removed...a moderator moderated says it all I think.

Im confused. Thought rodders was captain not Steve. Personally u either wanna play for a team or u don"t. If you wanna play for bcpc then why apply for apat and vice versa?
