Away from the game…

March 30, 2008 on 1:00 am | In General | No Comments

Its been a few weeks since the last post and to be honest I’ve not played any poker in the last 3 to 4 weeks (apart from 4 sit n goes at Stars that I sucked at!!). This is because my work took me away from home in the week so I need to spend some quality time with the guys at home during the weekend which to be honest was preferable to continuing my losing streak on the felt!!

Anyways I see we now have half a dozen people on our new forum for people who play in leagues (both online and live) and we would like to welcome any other player who players in any poker league to join us. Our forum is situated at the following url: http://topl.freeforums.org/portal.php .

I played the WAPT game at their free money site this evening and I was doing OK for a while but got devastated with an AJ clubs v 88. My miniscule stack thereafter meant that I could only makle 25th place from 50 runners. I was pleased to see though that the players at the WAPT were treating this almost as a real money game and there were no all in idiots like you would usually get in a freeroll. There is a lot to be said for pride in these events and with only one prize of a bracelet available everyone was going to play solid to try and win the thing. I must say the whole experience is helped by the bespoke version of the Poker4Ever software that they have which I must admit I do like and the logos on the table etc and the banter of the players make for an enjoyable hour or so (well for me at any rate!!)

The APAT have a game tomorrow and I would like to play it but I have a day out planned tomorrow so hopefully I will be back in time.
