Clean and 2 blocks from tube, zone 2 - Kensington.  Olympia Room.  Cheap and cheerful, clean but small, felt safe and friendly area.  I booked through Late Rooms, two nights and the 3rd was free.

Ibis Hotel next door to the Gala in City Centre Bristol.    Two games Friday, three Saturday and two Sunday with loads of cash action on the side.   Ibis will be £50 for a night and the tournaments are all £ 10 and £20 (some with rebuys and addons).  If you fancy a night out, you are waterside at the Harbour so loads of options.

Anybody else having difficulties browsing the APAT forums today?

Thanks Tighty!! 

not a disappointing start to the season

Would definitley be interested in a sat or super sat direct buy in, sounds value. 

Might not be worth the effort, but thought I would ask.  I moved here, when I married my husband, from the US and we use Amazon every month for a birthday of one of my 13 neices or nephews, mother's day, father's day.... all my Christmas shopping.  When I click the link to the uk website you provided, then click the international link on the bottom of page to get to the USA site - it appears to lose the "Blonde" tag I see in the url.    Amazon is the only way I shop for my son, his family - all my neices and nephews etc, so wanted to make sure I was doing what I could to get the rake back to Blonde.   To be honest it is the way my husband did 50% of his shopping for his family last year, the other 50% was Play.com  (yes that meant no jewelry for me but loads of DVDs and Music and games   ) 

Anyways, if you know of a way that I can use the US site and still get Blonde a rake, please send me a PM.

Nutz, had to work very late - arrived in from site after midnight. 

Last minute withdrawl, called out for work.

OMGoodness. 

Yep, I hear the faint echo of cash chips falling my way.. 

I have a low tolerance for alcohol, but I try not to let it stop me!! 


Stupid Question Alert:     

Does my £75 come out of the winning automatically for the Seat?  Does I need to transfer it to a particular account?  Should I withdrawl my £75 from here and take with me to Walsall? 

End of Alert

Couple of things must be said,  The table banter and standard of play at this online event was the best on line experience I have ever had.  I know, I know - of course you would say that as you won.  I am 100% sure however, that I would be feeling the same way about my experience had I went out a few tables prior, in fact I almost did.  I went from Chip Leader to nder 2k and nearly out on the final table.  I lost huge on an AQ that missed, and more on an AJ that missed.  Plus I had (i think Geo) somebody shoving over Suze to me every BB as they sussed what a nit I was.  I am really glad I cashed, over the moon I got my seat.   

I have decided poker and drinking do not mix, so no need to warn the bartender - until I donk out of event.  Well maybe a cheeky one or two.....  My win comes with mixed emotions as I know Suze was playing hard to win for Robyn, who is a local Bath friend of hers.  I adore RAO too and was content on final table to go out with some Piss up money for the weekend.  Sorry Robyn  .. 

Secondly, how do I join this league?  Are all league games open to anybody in the forums?  Can somebody link me to the schedule or FAQ.  Really was a great online tournament experience even at the early stages and I think I would love to make playing on Blonde a more regular thing. 

Merry Christmas

Please List me for a buffet ticket.
