Read all the posts and hope this doesnt get out of hand . I have said cest la vie etc and lets move on. Just a couple of points would like to make first , bit annoyed with people saying about should make sure internet connection works before you start. Firstly i have as good as i can with a dongle because i am on detachment and away from home. This worked fine until about half 12 i think where it went off for some unknown reason, and cos still full table my blinds got raped which i fully expect when a few players left because you have time to sort it and may only lose a few blinds as rest of table playing. I sorted this by sitting on a fire escape near our regimental bar which has free wireless, but was locked up so had to sit in the cold on a fire escape with no plug to charge lappy . Which i am sure a lot will find that funny! Then when we got to heads up with 20 mins left on my battery power i asked for a deal to be made which i hardly ever do , and stuart declined which is completly his decision. When lap top died i ran back over to my room hoping my dongle would work again. It did and my first hand i had qj and seen a raise which assuming just nicking my blind being sat out so shoved in expecting a fold , he called with a rag 5 i believe . I hit jack but he hit ace so that was game over. I had a chip lead when lost power i think 2-1 to come back to a 1-2 disadvantage. I think he should have give me time to get back and there was a break in 7 mins so thought to wait to then would have been fair. But entirely players decision and he decided to nick blinds. I would have waited til break if it was me and to be honnest in an apat event prob would have asked leigh to replay it if no return. Obviously if not an APAT event would have nicked blinds and wouldnt have cared. And would only do it heads up if short handed would have took time over every decision , if full ring would play normally as with play would have given player plenty of time to sort out any problems and wouldnt lose many blinds. But heads up is different your blinds go so quick online cos no play and quick dealing.
Anyway i hope this puts an end to any moaning and i dont blame stuart for doing what he did , i am sligghtly disappointed but at the end of the day it is entirely his decision, he would have got a lot of respect from myself for giving me a chance but cest la vie.
I would like to wish him all the best and good luck in the future. Now lets draw a line under it and look forward to what should be a great season 5 for APAT and all us apaters !
ps the grief i was giving to one of the players was purely and simply cos he was abusing everyone he sat with and i was defending myself and all others he was giving grief to. I can certainly give as good as i get and he deserved every insult he received. The said person showed his distane by encouraging stuart to smash my blinds at the end . Hopefully he is not as abusive next time and if so will not receive any retalliation abuse from myself.
pps thanks to all for well done wishes , phone calls , texts etc
bring on coventry woop woop !!!

For me...!!!
If I get to heads up and my oppo loses connection, if I know who it is, Like Scouse for instance, and like a lot of APAT players, I am gonna give a chance to get back etc...
But...
If it is a random 888 player who I have no idea who it is, and more especially, if the oppo is a gobby plick, I click as fast as I can and steal as many chips as I can before he comes back..

Pretty much says it all for most of us I think!

If this is the case I think we can excuse new members for following "normal" online poker protocol in this situation. Although very unpleasant and unfortunate for the disconnected player.

The chat and forum wordplay is another issue and it"s being looked at.

Good. Please review the chat from this tournament cos there was far too much nastiness going on, in the early stages anyway - not so sure whether this continued later into the tournament for some reason.

Only one particular offender has been specifically identified and that is being looked at.
Any chat issue, as I believe I may have mentioned before, should be pointed at 888 first with specific examples.
Forum chat is an easy one as there is always the "Report to Moderator" option.
