Club Captain

I am pleased to announce that the captain for the North London Poker Club for the season will be Richard Iwaniak.



(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_KJLieIUxMJY/SLlcAQrPHjI/AAAAAAAANmE/KmDezUr-RU8/s640/IMG_8567.jpg)

Richard has been a loyal supporter of APAT who regularly plays both the live events and online.  I feel with this appointment I am getting a 2 for 1 offer, as Richard is one half of a poker partnership.  I won"t get into the discussion of whether Richard or Linda is the better player, but I"m sure they will both support the North London poker club for the coming season.   ;D


Many thanks,


Leigh

Hi there, my postcode is N(R)26 but as East Anglia doesn"t have a club, can I join yours, as it does have an N in it?

Dick Whittington is also my favourite panto, I"ve seen Lock Stock and Snatch and I have been to London by train before, so feel a genuine connection with the Capital!!!!!!!!

Any chance?

your are offical free to join any club but the object of the league for future possilbe events, and to continue the ethos of the APAT you should join your " local " club...try  Luton, in the southern division..got a good team building up too.

WOW Luton is techanically about 10 minutes closer to me than North London but my "local Club", still takes three hours and a 120 plus miles to reach!!!!!!!

Didn"t realise APAT was so picky about which club we could join, especially with it being on-line.

If it"s that much trouble picking a club to represent may just save myself the hassle, time and cash.

Post by: MAIR on January 02, 2009, 12:43:55 PM
Its a close call, Luton or North London really and its up to you which club you want to represent, whichever one you decide to represent will be the club you are in for Season 3.
Title: Re: North London Poker Club - General Discussion
Post by: Mikeyboy9361 on January 02, 2009, 12:46:40 PM
What hassle is there in selecting your "local" club, and playing for them? The idea of it being a club near to you is that you could possibly represent them in the future if it became a live event. Obviously a bit difficult for you. And also to stop all the APAT superstars turning out for the same team!! ;)

wouldn"t worry about it Andy. As you rightly said, some of us are so far from the nearest actual venue, the notion of supporting our "local" club goes out of the window.  For what its worth, Google maps says Norwich to Luton=100 miles,Norwich to London=115 miles, Norwich to Nottingham=149 miles. A flight from Norwich airport (which I can get to in 5 minutes) to Dublin takes about an hour. I think what"s more important than who someone is representing is that they are taking part in the first place.
  Hopefully, my last word on the subject.  
Title: Re: North London Poker Club - General Discussion

Guys,

Let me clarify my stance on this.  You live in an area where both Luton and North London and pretty much your closest clubs.  Therefore, you can join whichever of the two clubs you wish to.  Whichever you choose though, will be your club for the whole of season 3 and you cannot change.

There is an argument that for some in this geographical area, a quick swim and Thanet may be closest.

As for which I would recommend choosing, well I think that they will all be strong candidates for taking this down, along with all of the Southern poker clubs.

So, make your choice and get behind your club.

Hello guys "n" girls,

I dipped my toe into APAT last year, attending the live dublin event.  This year I"m hoping to take a more active role having already qualified for Jan 10th"s online event.

Is this the right place to join your club and what"s expected?

Trying to work out what would be the right team for Richard and I to join. Bricks and mortar wise - is the Vic south or north London? Then also the Western is easy for us to get to...

Is North of the M4 North London and South of the M4 South London?

Linda,

I would suggest you could choose either North or South London as your location is pretty much in the middle.

I"ll leave that up to you as both are looking strong for the season.  I look forward to your signing up posts.   ;D

Hi Linda,

Would be a pleasure to have you and Richard on the team.  I remember my first live tournament last year in Vienna and you were both welcoming at the dinner break.

Hope we see you on the Member list  :)

I come from way further afield, chose North London and we seem to have been on a roll since then. There"s strength in depth here and we"re a team who will be committed to fielding numbers of players in this league. I made my choice because I thought I was joining a winning team and I"m convinced this is still the case.
  My geography isn"t great but isn"t the Vic in North London?

WOOP WOOP.  ;D  ;D

I wont pretend to know to much about Richards Style of play, but i have spoken to him and he is a great guy. He might not remember but i was chatting to him at one of the regionals last year - i think it was for the manchester leg!

The reason that i got chatting to him - if only for ten minutes - was that my Girlfreind had none other than Richards wife on her left and proceeded to Double her up 10"s (tanya) against kings (Linziwan) sb Vs bb!

Great appointment and i very much look forward to being part of the Winning team!!

North London FTW

Apologies if I"ve missed anyone, but by my reckoning the following North London signees are playing at Walsall:

2)Antthecat
3)Baldusxnew
4)Linziwan1
5)Travel52nearly
6)1badcalltoomany
7)Kedster2003

I would be both surprised and disappointed if there wasn"t at least one final tablist amongst that lot.

Thanks for your kind words Leigh.  I will endeavour to undertake captaincy role to my utmost ability (limited as though that is).

Firstly, welcome to all team members.  We are looking strong and I am sure we will be a match for most other sides during the National League season.  I look forward to meeting you either virtually or during live events (I note we have at least 7 Walsall participants, sorry to those of you who were unsuccessful in qualifying or click-festing).

Lastly, we all strive to improve our poker skills.  In my view, one way to do this is to play against a variety of players skilled across the whole spectrum.  Therefore if any of your fellow poker playing colleagues are interested in the APAT community, please encourage them to "sign-up".

Thanks for the support from the team. I was actually quite lucky to make it that far!

Can someone please clarify the table scoring though? I thought I was guaranteeing points for the team but in the table North London it shows us a zero points?

Good effort from the team tonight.

Congratulations to Robert Ingoldby and Skipper Richard Iwaniak on making the final table and scoring points, another 19 games to go guys, still plenty of time  ;)


2 of the NL possie on the FT can"t be bad. Well done guys. ;D


Thanks for the support from the team. I was actually quite lucky to make it that far!

The top 10 players earn individual points each matchday.

The top 3 teams from each matchday earn 3,2,1 league points.

Unfortunately Norht London finished 4th last night.  So although you earned individual points and cashed, the team didn"t score.

It takes a bit of getting used to, but bearing in mind the top 3 teams go through to the grand final, this is a very fair scoring system.

Sorry I missed it will have to put money on my account...usually play on a different i-poker site...

Just wanted to say a special hi to Linda....will you be coming to the ladies" tour this year at all?


Hi Carey

Missed you in the league game. I may try to make one or two of the ladies events, depending on venues and dates. But with the way the scoring system  is (with the 5 points for attending and then 1 to 10 extra for making the final table) it makes it very hard for me to actually get up to the top of the rankings. The first year I made two final tables out of the four I played (I think there were only six events) and ended up with less points than somebody who played all the events. As hubby and I are going to be in Las Vegas again this year, I"m not sure.

I"m also deliberately concentrating more on tournaments that have men and ladies in the field.

Hope we"ll see you at an APAT event. When you get your Blue Square account you must try and qualify for them through the satellites - their all good fun :)  

Hoepfully will see you on the league tables.

;D

OMG I did it again...i"m a sucky teammate....putting kids to bed and stuff gets in the way on the sunday..but i"m gonna go put my money on now and register for next week :)  I understand about focusing on the other tourneys more...There are 4 new venues this year including one in Spain.  And if ya get 30 points you can get into the online qualifier. 

I"ve had my blue square account for over a year now just never play on it..lol But will start now for sure.  I know blacker from our essex home games :)
Well hope we did well tonight couldn"t find the games listed because they must be over already.

I went out 53rd just after 1am on first day... nearly made day 2. Just one of those tournaments, build a nice stack, loose most of it, build it again, loose it again. Tip for future events for myself.... never get into a pot with a scotsman - I know I"ll loose (and it"ll always be on the river...!) sigh

:D

Good fun on the second day too so well played all who made it.... tried to rail for a while but I get bored soooo easily when watching..... just had to play the afternoon tournment when it started and managed to bubble the final table on that one too..... ggrrrrr

See you in Cardiff

Not stating we should be playing soft against team mates but there has to be a bit of sense in a league. Especially when that player went on to loose what was a winning position before scoring any points.

A reminder that Leg 2 of the National League takes place this Sunday (15th Feb) at 8pm on BlueSquare.

Registration is now open in the Lobby. To find it, click through to the Tournaments / Specials  / APAT tab.

The password is: leaguepl

So far the following have registered (Blue Square IDs):
rubertoe
1badcall2many4me
anthtecat
linziwan1
travel52nearly
riverasusual

For Leg 1 the team had 21 registrants.  I am sure that we can approach (if not exceed) that number for tomorrow"s tourney.  An updated list will be published closer to the end of registration.

One piece of tactical advice to consider please:
Whilst this is an individual event, it is also a Team event.  Each individual"s contribution is vital to the Team"s chances of qualifying for the final event.  Therefore please use a modicum of judgement when you are actively participating in hands (of dubious strength) against fellow team mates.  Having said that, obvious soft play is unacceptable. 

Good luck to all Team participants.

Shouldn"t have bothered really. Nothing at all for the first hour, then with blinds at 75/150, shoved 1800 from mid position with QJ off and got called by the button with AK off. Flop comes Queen high, jack on the turn and I must be psychic because I knew that the river was going to be a ten. I think I"ve just remembered why I prefer playing cash games!

That is me out

KK vs JJ vs AJ all in pre - i had the kings in the big blind - AJ rasied (UTG +1) to 1400 - blinds 200/400 - MP Pushes for 3.1k - I shove over the top for 5.5k total - Kaysing who isnt in the hand says "Call go ftw" (which i think is a bit out of order and i will be bringing this up) and UTG +1 calls and he just has me covered!!

Flop xxA Turn J River x - i am out!

Good luck to all left!!

Richard has lost his internet connection at the moment but as Capt he was able to rail most of the tournament until the final table. 

Well played all as a team we didn"t seem to get much luck this week - getting out drawn in most hands. Well played to Shakeyshark (Shaun) unlucky in 11th place. Only move you could make with that hand (pair66s). With Boston calling with the A 10 you were slightly ahead and we were keeping ours fingers crossed, unfortunately he didn"t seem to be missing much and flopping a straight was about average for him tonight. Just outside the points... well played

North London had the best turnout and hopefully our luck will change in two weeks.

See you at the tables

Richard and Linda

Oh dear. I completely f****d-up one pot against Darren Shallis I should have pushed him off, then gifted him the rest of my chips with my AQ to his AK. I think I should stick to the cash tables.

Linda and I just got back from our trip to Nottingham today, Linda advised me that my Mother"s birthday was more important than playing tonight! Sometimes you just have to do what the wife says.

Bit of a small turnout tonight probably Easter not a good time to be holding the game with family commitments.

Well played to WiseOwl and good luck on the final table, more points for the team are always welcome.

Sorry to have missed out on the team point.

Well happy to have made third place as at one point I was down to 621 chips with the blinds at 125/250.

You played well to come back and that last little bit of luck could have seen you double up but it was still a good finish and great individual points.  We need to start getting two players to the final table to claim those team points :)

A reminder that Leg 7 of the National League takes place this Sunday (26th Apr) at 8pm on BlueSquare.

Registration is now open in the Lobby. To find it, click through to the Tournaments / Specials  / APAT tab.

The password is: leaguepl

For Leg 6 the Team had 6 registrants.  I am sure that we can approach (if not exceed) that number for this Sunday"s tourney.    A special congratulatory mention to wiseowlbs for his 3rd place finish, just missing out on gaining team points.

I am aware that some people were unhappy with blinds structure in earlier Legs - please note that an increased 13 minute blinds level clock will be in use for Leg 7.  This should facilitate more meaningful and genuine poker. 

One piece of tactical advice to consider please:
Whilst this is an individual event, it is also a Team event.  Each individual"s contribution is vital to the Team"s chances of qualifying for the final event.  Therefore please use a modicum of judgement when you are actively participating in hands (of dubious strength) against fellow team mates.  Having said that, obvious soft play is unacceptable. 

Good luck to all Team participants.
