Looking at playing one of the two. reasons for each?

APAT.

Reason: Fixed Limit Seven Card Stud Tournament :)
Also: PLO

I may be the only man in a 50 mile radius under 25 who is ecstatic for fixed limit poker and non holdem games, but that doesn't stop me from promoting them! Stud is a fantastic and highly situational game for tournament poker due to gradually increasing stakes and antes from the very beginning and upcards constantly changing starting hand values. Many complain that fixed limit games are slow and complicated, yet there is no need to think about bet size, only the right action, CHECK or BET, or RAISE, CALL, or FOLD. The hands move faster, not slower, and there is a lot of action due to the large size of the pot vs the small size of the bets

Get involved!!!

Goliath, because I got my seat half price :)

APAT is at DTD with possibly the best tourney team in the UK

Goliath is, I believe, played in a hotel function room, with a bunch of dealers uprooted fromn their homes and dumped in Coventry for the week.

Both clash with Leeds Festival so neither is an option to be considered in favour of The Foos, The Cure and a weekend of mud and mayhem

Here is the APAT schedule

The European Championship of Amateur Poker will take place at Dusk Till Dawn between August 24th and 27th.

Aug 24 – ECOAP European Amateur Team Championship – day 1 – £100 + £10 per player
 
Aug 24 – ECOAP Stud Championship – £50 + £5
 
Aug 25 – ECOAP European Amateur Team Championship – final day
 
Aug 25 – ECOAP Six-Max Championship – £50 + £5
 
Aug 26 – ECOAP European Amateur Poker Championship – day 1 – £100 + £10
 
Aug 27 – ECOAP Omaha Championship – £50 + £5
 
Aug 27 – ECOAP European Amateur Poker Championship – final day

Availability for the events; see www.apat.com/forum, or ask APAT on here and they will respond


Like last year, a lot of people will play part of both, this year its slightly easier as the clash of dates is less intense.
Goliath starts earlier than the APAT main for example.

You believe incorrect :)

Tighty is it poss to buy-in at dtd for this as the Omaha is looking nice and might come play it??

Hi tighty , can anyone buy into APAT events now?, i thought i remember reading you needed to join APAT to play them early days, ty.

GCasino Cov.

DTD is always my prefered venue, but it's good to get out on the road every now and again to keep it fresh.

This is a picture from last year...

Membership is free Adrian, see www.apat.com and click top banner

DTD will have available seats over the counter from midweek

I'll ask one of the guys to pop on here and give you the numbers left for each event

you are both right, its in the big conference room that's part of the ricoh complex and used G Coventry staff, equipment , facilities etc

ok ty

In other words, you are perfectly eligible to play (availability of seats permitting). There's a big Bristol contingent at every APAT, you'll be made to feel very welcome

Hi Guys,

The remaining seats for the APAT European Championship of Amateur Poker are now available directly from DTD, either at the cashdesk (As of yesterday) or via their online shop (As of today)

Remaining Capacity as of yesterday

Date	Event	Start Time	Buyin	Seats Remaining
Friday 24th August 2012	ECOAP Stud	6pm	£46 + £5	31
Saturday 25th August 2012	ECOAP 6 Max	3pm	£46 + £5	25
Sunday 26th August 2012	ECOAP Main Event (2 Day)	2:30pm	£92 + £10	11
Monday 27th August 2012	ECOAP PL Omaha	3pm	£46 + £5	76

I'd expect the 6 Max and Main Event to sell out in advance, with the Pot Limit Omaha likely to sell out over the weekend as players are eliminated from the main event.

Regards,

Will there be alternates on APAT Main Event on day 1s in case I don't make my mind up quickly enough? :)

Three levels of either late entry up to capacity, or the more likely, alternates as players exit.

Levels are 45 minutes, and it's a 2:30pm start.


I've just released another 12 seats to DTD for the main event.

I cant wait for the Omaha tourney, so very few of these tourneys around. And its such a great game always action, shame there are not some regular Omaha tourneys at dtd. Even if there was a tourney once a month there it would be nice. It could be run alongside a super 50 with a low gtd just to get established. I would defo be up for that.

The 6 Max event and tomorrow's Main Event were sold out, but DTD have managed to squeeze in a few more seats for anyone wishing to buyin on the day.

Today's 6 max is now capped at 156 (from 108) and the Main Event cap is now just over 250 (from 207)

The 6 Max starts at 3pm today , with late reg for 3 levesl upto 4:30pm.

You can buyin at the cashdesk or via the Online Shop.


And last night the new valets were showing off the new valet uniforms.  Mr Prew, you are in for a treat.   ;D

They tried that, several times, it was a complete disaster, often with less than one full table.  A real shame, but them's the facts.

though the valets probably aren't

good luck today Leigh. Six Max should be a cracking comp, as usual

Thanks Rich

Should be a great atosphere in the club today.  26 tables of 6-Max and the climax of the team event, with England actually in the mix for a change.
