League 2 Matchday 9 - 19/12/10
Waz1892:
another great matchday, and we secured 2 more points
Nellie finishing 2nd
Cikid 3rd
Curlarge 8th
Susiepea 9th
League is so close now - 17points Luton, 14points Notts, 12 Points Sunderland.
We need 1 more point in the final game on the 9th Jan 2011. Or we can win league if Nottingham fail to win
Player notes could come in handy.
Should we win the league, then remember the top 4 in the player scores win the individual prizes on offer from APAT/Betfair.
Curlarge:
Congratulations to Nellie and Achim on excellent performances.
I must say however that I have become increasingly concerned and annoyed at the attitude of a couple of our players.
In game 8 I was dogged by Ludo whatever his name is, who seemed to not care one jot about his team members and tonight we had Shonky playing for himself and hinself only. He even went so far to say that if he is expected to "play for the team" someone should pay him to play.
I want to say ALOT more but in the interests of the team and out of respect to Waz and JP I will bite my tongue.
Let"s hope week 10 sees more sense used.

Agree I always have in mind it is team play. Fortunately today I didnt have so many Luton players on my table until near the end but I have noticed this before. I will only play a hand I feel I would definately win against our team and have folded some good hands if a team mate has bet high.

and then later i folded AK to a luton player who shoved against my raise preflop instead of limping in, and flat called and checked down top pair higher kicker to our captain when i could have bet for extra value if i"d have thought waz might call. but i didn"t ... why is that? the hand you seem to have a problem with was when you checked every street with bottom pair top kicker and then moaned at me because i tried to steal in position when villain had me beat... maybe if you"d gone after the pot you"d have won it??? its not like i knew what you had is it?? Anyway i called this same villain later in the tourney and almost took him out, which is more than you"d managed to acheive limping and flatting when you were SAT RIGHT NEXT TO HIM!
soft play is weak play. IMO
fandango:
Hi.... actually it wasnt Richard that bemoaned you betting with air against (zukertort) it was me that "sighed" (fandangooo) when i had checked in position to see if my bottom pair with A kicker would take the pot if you both checked.. as it was zukertort played the hand correctly and also checked bottom pair Q kicker.. you betting with air just gave him more value and chips imo to call.. when you was last to act,, your AT had showdown value against both our hands as we was in sb/bb.. as you limped in late pos i only made up the BB to see if team tatics could add a few more chips to either our stacks. I think the thing that really upset Richard and also myself, was you stating that your playing with your bankroll and the most important thing was you cashing and making money. Myself my 1 goal in these tournies is to play for LUTON secure points and hopefully win promotion, cashing on the ft is just an added bonus. Soft play is never allowed and i will never soft play as it is stated in the rules that it is not accepted and players can be diqualified if the security department and software picks up on this.. hence me calling your all in with QQ v your AJ when you was short stacked soon after 1st break, and me moving all in versus Richard when i had made a set on a straightning board.. If i was playing soley to win money for my bankroll then i would be mad to play in these tournies as IMO they are the toughest fields to play as the standard is so high...
This is just my 2 penneth i hold no hard feelings to any players, as you have stated you pay with you own money and are entilted to play as you feel appropriate, i just wanted to air my feelings.. and correct you that indeed it was me and not Richard that "moaned".. hope everyone has a great christmas and a happy new year..
