S5 APAT English Online Championship 2011
ck1888:
Interesting discussion on the disconnect issue. To be honest i am not sure what i would do. Probably lean towards raise and take.
Saying that if the general APAT consensus is that this is not in the APAT ethos and spirit then i will stand by that.
This is clearly a grey area for most. Maybe APAT should have some sort of mission statement to inform all members what we are all about and what is expected.
APAT is not as hostile as most poker forums and is unique in it"s own way. Newer members may not know this.

I like how everyone that didnt win is moaning. Like hell you would of all sat out, i guess its easy to say that when you havnt got 660 bux and a ukipt seat staring in your face. If you are playing live and your late back the game continues. If you have connection issues thats your issue not the other guy at the table ask all the major poker sites. Makes no odds in my minds if you are friends etc. Theres no such thing as a friend in poker...
Congrats Matt and ozfest...... Great wins :D
Peace

I lost count last night how many times i was sitting out because i keep getting timed out and others where as well now when this happend did everyone sit out or let the time run down as you would think they would in the APAT spirit, no they just pressed the raise button and moved on to the next hand

very different situation to be short handed at the business end of the tournament though.
The way I see it is this. Why would someone want to win an APAT tournament in this manner? Winning an APAT title should be a moment of pride. Where"s the pride when half the forum are questioning your scruples? I"d rather win (and he still could have won),or lose, with dignity than take a hollow and guilt-tinged victory that cost me the respect of my peers. Maybe those things don"t matter to some people though. If not, fair enough I guess and well done.

As a relatively new APAT player, this being my second tournament, I would like to think that it was not as hostile as a random game and that a little bit of respect would take place i.e. the suggestion of the 5 minute sit out then reassess the situation.
Either way, very unlucky Scouse
