Title: APAT Pro-am Staking
Post by: lazaroonie on September 29, 2008, 04:42:22 PM
I am going to be playing in the APAT pro-am at luton this weekend. The buyin is £300 (no juice), and you can read all about it here

http://www.apat.com/index.php


as I said I have already decided to play in this event, no matter the result of this. I am basically just looking to try and cover my expenses, by selling up to 50%. Preferably in multiples of 5% (£15). This is a straightforward 1:1 equity split.

My game is pretty solid, and have a decent record in these APAT events (from 4 events played, 1 final table cash and 2 just outside the money). My overall record in low-mid buyin events with between 50-150 runners is pretty consistent.

Anyway, enough of the hard-sell. The good bit is the added value - the winner of this event in addition to getting a load of cash, will also get an entry to the GUKPT grand final worth £3000. In the likely event of me winning the APAT, then any % holders will automatically get the same percentage stake in the GUKPT. (they can however, if they prefer "cash out" at this point and take their % of the buyin back).

form an orderly queue...

I can't play in this (I can't play full-stop), so I'll have some of you.

PM on its way :)up

In the best interest of all stakers, I should mention Laz grims cab drivers.


Ha Rod, you missed the funniest bit - when the taxi driver tried to charge me 40 notes

Driver : "that will be 40 pounds please sir"
Me : "I dont f*ckn think so"
Driver : "Ok, we'll make it 30"
Me : " You're new to this haggling game, eh ? Look, here's a score, and I'll promise not to slap you about - is that a fair deal ?"
Driver : "No problem sir".


pm Jimmy Tarbuck if you want other dirt on the big chap.

kudos to tank for performing "due diligence" on potential stakees now.

although the words "stable door" and "bolted horse" come to mind.



oh and 25% gone btw...

Sold out in under 20 minutes. Is that a record?

It's not a very good name for one if it is.

Ah very clever, I see what you did there.

For the benefit of our viewers in black and white, kinboshi is talking about a pop record record instead of a guiness book of records record, achieving a delightful comic effect.
