Can Bathurst People Have Fun At Poker
It has come to both mine and fellow players from Orange attention that the vast majority of poker players in Bathurst just don't know how to have fun - with the obvious exception of the 5 Hats crew who are true balla's. Maybe me and my friends are wrong, but going to the club/pub and drinking water all night whilst folding your way to points is fun, but i just can't see it. It seems like the Fun Police has struck many of these players and they should think about having some fun in the future, hell spend $10 on fuel and come to the double header in Orange on a Sunday. Anyway that was my rant, all the best on the felt

hi what a ridiculous comment to make bathurst players have plenty of fun at poker its not just about folding away to get points we enjoy our poker and as everyone love to go well at it also and as for driving to orange on a sunday i have driven there several times once to find out it had been cancelled which if i knew before i drove there i would have saved about $40 all up dont get me wrong i love the double header and if it only cost $10 i would go every sunday but reality is it doesnt. im only new to the poker scence in the region and one thing i dnt get is why do orange and bathurst players always have these bitchy things to say all the time we all love the game so y with the negativity i read the posts and comments all the time doesnt matter if there orange or bathurst teams and all i see is arguements etc why dont we just sort it out on the felt and leave it there anyway thats my opinion oh and we do drink more then just water on a poker night.
why have you gone from 6 events to 2, if you do more than drink water.
I propose a orange v's bathurst tounament, APL can work it out
why do u see it as we only have 2 events do u even consider npl as poker or r u to blind consider npl and apl bathurst has 6 events a week it doesnt matter to us whether its apl or npl its poker. apl has gone down the drain in bathurst apl lost loyalty in bathurst because we got nothing for our venue leads just a quailfy to state champs what an awesome prize for all the money and loyalty we put into apl. npl offers more thats all i can say about that. And im sure apl can work something out for a orange vs bathurst tourney y dnt u ask ill play no doubt nd i wont see u on the final table.......by the way u always have something to say about something u have no clue about 'sensation' who ever you are????
well Assassin who the hell are you? are u another sad soul from Bathurst who has to look to the mighty O.P.C for inspiration?
as a matter a fact im not from bathurst as such i play there but travel for each event and no i look to the mighty team avalache for inspriation. i see this as i cant have my say on your post without being bombarded with negative replies ive put my point across and all you two can do is think about the OPC and orange and attack bathurst players. find something positive to talk about for once if you or 'sensation' cant say something positive about poker dont say anything i have no clue who you 2 are and im sure you have no clue who i am but look i had my say about your post and you two keep carrying on just take an opinion as an opinion not an attack
lol...seriously if you dont want to hear me carry on about the O.P.C , here's an idea don't read our blog, and anyways sensation is part of NewEra
Evs, sensations still from orange so u r both still in the same boat maybe the bathurst v orange tourney is a good idea sort it out once nd for all or a teams event through the Apl or whoeva. one thing to say bathurst players are sad souls mayb u should look at yourself as a sad soul always got something to complain or say about how down bathurst players are. i can speak an opinion on your post and you can speak your opinion on my comment but as for an outsider butting in and starting an arguement over a stupid little rivalry between bathurst and orange made this go a bit far lets leave it and maybe we can organise this orange v bathurst tourney in the not so distance future....
if you look on our new era website assasin you will see a poll that asks what has caused the demise of poker in bathurst the players or Apl management and the players is killing the vote, even bathurst players are voting the players
if the players support the clubs then why have they cut the events from 6 to 2?
and anyone who counts NPL events as real poker events opinion doesnt register with me
a poll where only 20 people have voted is not the majority of players as for events being cut down from 6 to 2 no one knows exactly why you come up with we only drink water pffft maybe the Apl should have thought about promoting the drink card thing earlier or maybe they should have given back to the players like som decent bloody prizes u cant disagree with that. i count Npl as real poker events because they care about the players at least with Npl we got something for being venue leaders
APL gives you tickets to the state champs for a venue winner, i agree that a cash prize should also be given aswell but lets not forget it is FREE poker, it cost you nothing to play and all the clubs ask is that you spend $15 there so they can justify hold in the event, it costs the clubs & pubs money to host the events so when you get 87 people to an event it costs the club $957 to hold it and if you arent spending money at the club they are just wasting money and it obvious the players arent spending money otherwise you would keep the events
if each player spent $15 dollars at the club the club still gets not profit they would only end up making a few bucks out of that 15 because they have to buy the drinks and food then put the price up in order to make maybe 50c on a can of coke for instence so each player would have to spend at least $50 or so just for the clubs/pubs to make there money back on holding the event. yes its free poker but isnt that what apl is all about giving us the chance to play poker at no cost but having the chance to win great prizes and look on the website the make millions and the francise makes alot of money and it doesnt cost him much per season to have the events so to put a bit in for the players wouldnt be so hard im sure you would like to see some better prizes doesnt have to be cash.
Why does having fun mean that we should come to orange? LOL!
For a start, as Assassin said, it really does cost more than $10 to get there and back, and let's face it if you DO travel that far then you certainly won't be drinking and driving, so water or soft drinks will be the drink of a responsible motorist.
Folding you way to points? Hmmm, let's see now..... some of the best players in the region are grinders as are some of the best players in the world. Holdem is a game of patience, and if your trying to play alot of hands then it might be a quick trip back to Bathurst.
Maybe the APL should consider actually trying to compete with the NPL here in Bathurst?
When the APL had actual prizes on offer for the winners of the region and venues, the amount of venues it had boomed. As soon as it gave no prizes, then numbers started to drop and people stopped spending at the APL events, so the venues cancelled. It is the APL's fault. All they wanted to do was to take in the money and give nothing in return. Loyalty is a two way street.
You guys can do all the polls you want on who's fault it was, but the fact is an owner of a region cannot sit up there in Queensland, give no prizes and expect everything to run smoothly. The region had to be managed, and nobody was doing that.
Watch out Orange, the same could happen there!
assassin ur maths is way off... $15 - 20 per person makes there money back. i do agree with some of the points more prizes would be nice but most of the prizes in orange are put up by the clubs in all honesty we all know how to have fun in our own ways and part of the fun is to bag out the orange players and vice versa.. it cost less than $10 to get to orange for the double header but of course u have to buy food and drinks so there is about $20 maybe more and the NPL compete with APL it is my understanding what am i on about the NPL undercut APL by putting a game on an hour after an APL game so it was chip up or split and i know a lot of problems came from this with the whole donkey thing u can call it what u want but this is the reason that the APL started it demise and it wont happen in orange because the clubs support the APL and the players support the clubs!!!!
