Jon " The British Cowboy" Woodfield

Okay, this is clearly just another opportunity to post the pic of JonMW on a horse, and has nothing to do with his comments posted about yesterday"s advent calendar,  but there is more to it, I promise you.   ::)

Jon works hard for APAT collating and publishing the rankings throughout the season.  A job which gets a lot of stick and very little applause.  So, thank you Jon.

But Jon is more than just a number collator, he plays a bit of poker aswell.  But not any ordinary type of poker, for Jon is a player of Razz.

You may or may not know that Jon cashed in the Razz event in the 2007 WSOP.  If you didn"t know, ask him about it.   ;D

Which brings me onto another APAT poker first in 2008.  During the WCOAP at The Vic, a Razz tournament was included for the first time.  Now, a lot of you may be asking yourself, "Razz, sounds a funny game, how do you play that ?"

Well, luckily for APAT, we had our allround poker expert Des at the event and he was able to explain to everyone railing on the forum, exactly what it was all about.

"In Razz players are dealt a total of 7 cards, 3 of which are face down and then rest are face up. From these cards the player has to form the lowest possible 5 card hand. Straights and flushes are irrelevant but pairs/trips/boats all count. The lowest possible hand would be A2345, which is a 5 low (as 5 is the highest card)."

So you"ve all got it, right ?

Here"s a link, so you can find out what happened during the first Razz event held in the UK.

Steve "Scouse3465" Bayliff

Steve won the Season Two APAT Online Rankings, making an incredible ten online final tables in the process.  During 2008 he also won a monthly GUKPT online league and played in the recent Champion of Champions event.

No one knows exactly where Steve gets his nickname from, as little is really known about this internet recluse.  It"s safe to say that the online style of poker suits the player in this case.  Steve won"t mind admitting that he does struggle when out in public and finds it difficult to talk to people and engage with them.

So, if during Season 3, you happen to stumble across this online legend at the bar, why not offer to buy him a drink and make him feel welcome, he may even strike up a conversation with you.  And trust me, that"s something you will never forget regret.

A Quiet Forum Day

You know those days, where people are around, but not really posting and you just want someone to start an interesting thread from nothing.

Well, back in January, Des took that literally, and what a response he got.

68 responses and over 1000 hits.  Questions should be asked !!!!!


QUIET DAY ON THE FORUM

Edit:  And no guesses for who was first to post a reply  ;D
