Just wanted to would post my support for Des, Tikay and Tighty for all their efforts as I think that some of the criticism directed at them has been over the top.  After all, it is only a game of cards.  I noticed that some-one had suggested regional qualifiers for these live events and just wanted to augment that with the suggestion for on-line qualifiers as well.  I would have thought that a mixture of live and on-line qualifiers as well as direct buy-in should keep most APAT members happy.   Anyway, just a thought and keep up the good work.

Hi James,

The details that have been posted in this thread were in direct response to a thread that has been running in the Live Poker category for some time now.  In our last APAT newsletter on Tuesday, I stated that discussions were ongoing concerning the next venue, and that I anticipated being able to update the membership in thext week to ten days.  Until agreement is reached with the venue, there isn't actually anything to announce yet!

Regards,

Des.

I think that not updating the web-site to inform APAT members that the November event won't be in Scotland could be a potential PR disaster should some people be in the process of booking flights/trains/hotels for Glasgow.  I know that APAT has never said that the event would be in Glasgow but it was always a strong favourite and these costs can be substantially reduced by booking at least a month in advance. 

Hearty congrats - it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

Include me in.  Haven't got a clue how to play Omaha but as the same could be said about how I play Hold-em, I don't see that as a deterrent.

Great first Blonde tourney.  If there was a prize for the most stylish out, I would be in contention.  Had A's full of T's, walked (galloped actually) right into a Royal Flush.  Don't you just love this game.
