Is anyone else finding cash play on 888 remarkably soft? Shame there aren"t enough tables to do any serious multi-tabling!

OK this seems to be the thread for random chat then. So I will say a very well done to Swansea"s Steve Harrison for his final table at Coventry. Really pleased to see somebody from Wales - and especially Swansea make it.
Steve, thanks for the PM mate and I really hope you decide to make the journey to Newcastle. If you do please make sure you look me up. Other than that will definately see you in Cardiff in May.
Can"t wait until Sunday now Swansea FTW.

Welcome back guys and welcome to all new members :) Hope to see you Sunday, Swansea had a good S4 thanks to a great team effort and have every chance of doing well in S5. Congrats to Steve Harrison on finishing ninth in Coventry! Great result and very well played 8)

Thnx Allyson... made inquiries up in Coventry but didnt get to meet you... so many people to catch up with that the breaks seem quite short... also looked out for Matthew Prees as I presume he"s the Preesm who"s signed up for the team.... but again didnt meet him. At least I"ll be able to recognise you next time... once I"ve had a chance to look through the Ricoh pictures properly. I find Des and his camera the most stressful part of Apat tournies. I"ll be playing on Sunday... and hope to repeat the performance... only better!! Should be good this year with more teams in each div so bigger fields and more worthwhile to cash... but important to have larger teams. My son signed up a few years ago... so will try to convince him to play as well... even though he should be working towards his finals at Bath Uni.

Does anybody play PLO on that Network? Sky has terrible traffic on that. What the PLO like on 888?

You"ll find a game m8. Soft?
depends whether I"m playing or not ;D

Very unlucky tonight guys :( bad luck Chris you were soooo unlucky when your Jacks got beaten by a straight. Very well played though. Jacks were unlucky for me too when they got beaten by ac kd (all in pre-flop) Thanks for playing everyone and I hope the poker gods are kinder to us next time :)
-
Weird hand yours Allyson VUL
-
Thanks Ian, It was a bit of a rollercoaster! First I got the set of Jacks then my opponent got the full house LOL. VUL for you too when your Queens got beaten by Jacks :o

Don"t worry about it, not playing very well myself. Down to 2000 after deciding to push the river on a busted flush draw and got called still in though - just

So which of you are coming to Newcastle???
If any of you are when do you get there and where are you staying? Will you at the casino Friday night?
-
I"m going to Newcastle on Friday :) staying at the Royal Station Hotel. Not sure what time I"ll get there yet, might have a look at the casino if it"s not too late. Anyone else staying at this hotel?

Yay :-)
Well if you are flying up best to fly up in the morning so plenty of time. If you are driving up from Neath..... hmm, good luck, just make sure you plan a few stops.
Hope you get there in time to come in on Friday but if not will certainly see you Saturday, are you staying Sunday?
I also found the answer to getting a night out for us all as well. This

Obviously you are all invited (not that an invitation is actually required).
-
Driving up, will get there sometime Friday I hope ;D I"m definitely staying Sunday,I suppose I"ll find something to do after the inevitable early exit on Saturday ::) The night out sounds fun :)

-
Well done guys for last night"s effort. Very well played Rodders for finishing eleventh 8) Sorry I didn"t make the points, somehow I managed to run 7h 7s into a straight and lost most of my chips ::) GL for next time and thanks for playing :)
-
Hi guys, Matchday 4 is on Sunday May 15 at 8.00pm. Registration is available at 888 so register if you can, password is apatdiv2. It would be nice to see as many people playing as possible :) Some of you mentioned you know people who might be interested in playing for Swansea so please tell them they are very welcome to join if you get a chance! my daughter Tara is joining next month and is keen to play lots of league games ;D Best of luck for Sunday :)
-
I"m in for tonight - good luck all!

Ladies and Gentlemen.
Let"s get this sorted tonight, for the last three games we have under-performed. There have been reasons, some of you have got unlucky at important times and some of us have made poor plays. We need to get some points on the board and establish ourselves in this division before APAT decide to merge us in with Cardiff !!!!!!!!
We are coming up to the Welsh Championships with the online event next week with Cardiff the week after so it"s important that Swansea remind everybody poker does exist in Wales outside of Cardiff. Getting in the points tonight would be a great place to start.

Very well done guys last night :) looks like we just missed out on the points! very well played Steve Roderick on getting third, the competition out there was very tough. Well done Mike too, you were very unlucky to go out on pocket queens.
Although we didn"t finish in the match points we showed great team spirit and made a good fight of it, so we can be proud of the way we played :) Let"s keep it going for next time. Thanks to everyone who played. BTW thanks Steve for the link to the Osprey"s song, definitely a classic ;D
-
I thought we were all great last night, I didn"t play perfect, still can"t figure out if the Kings hand was right or wrong. I don"t think he had to have the ace there and the odds were really good and I had 11 outs if he did have the ace so it is probably OK in terms of Chip EV, not so sure about ICM factors though. Didn"t see Allyson or Mike make any mistakes when they were on my table.
The Ospreys song is class. Although Swansea City are continuing their collision course tonight as well.
PS - Mike are you playing the Cardiff tournament on 28th of this month?

Hi guys,
Matchday 5 is tonight at 8.00pm on 888, password is apatdiv2. Please play if you can, we put up a good fight last time and almost got in the points so let"s go for it again tonight! Best of luck everyone :)
-
888 just died???
-
It has been cancelled, I was in 8th position, they have paid me $25. Why was it cancelled?
-
Well done last night guys and very well played. It looks like the tournament was cancelled because of technical problems at 888. The tournament will re-run later in the season and 888 will add some cash to the prizepool as a goodwill gesture. I"ll post some more information on this thread when the details regarding the re-run game have been announced.
-
Hi guys,
APAT have decided to void Matchday 5, 888 poker will hold a future Matchday with some added value as a goodwill gesture for the technical problems. Sorry for any disappointment caused, unfortunately these technical difficulties happen sometimes. Hopefully we can move on and look forward to Matchday 6 on Sunday :)
-
Hi guys,
Matchday 6 is tonight at 8.00pm. password is apatdiv2. Please play if you can :) There"s added value tonight for the top 3 finishers in each division as a goodwill gesture by 888 because of last week"s technical problems. Best of luck!

Can play this week, working away quite a bit so having to drive to London on Sunday nights but don"t need too this week.
-
Thanks for playing tonight guys. However 888 has some kind of technical problem going on tonight (yawn) and it seems a lot of people (including myself) were disconnected and unable to get back into the game so possibly this will be a void match. Let"s hope 888 can resolve these difficulties asap.
-
It has been voided. Not at all impressed with 888.com though. I was chip leader got disconnected, got on again, got back to chip leader, got disconnected again, got back on about half hour later and ended up 12th.
888 at least need to refund all the buyin"s.

Hey Allyson
Long time no speak, hope you are good. Think I should be able to make most of these :-)
EDIT:-
Sure went well tonight blind are 75/150 with two limper"s I find AQ and shove. Get called and lose to 10-4os.
I will do better soon as I seem to have pulled my game back together and we will score points before the endof the year. TID tonight now.
-
Hey Steve,
Thanks for playing, AQ was unlucky for me tonight too, beaten by KK and then QQ!
Best of luck for Luton if your going :)

Well done Steve Harrison for finishing third tonight. congrats and very well played :)
