Me neither... Feel a bit hard done by to be honest! Ten quid and I don't make the reserve list to the only event thats economical to attend and entry into a bunch of private $22 online MTTs with so called amateurs like Purr of Aces.... What are the other advantages of APAT? I won't be renewing I doubt..

Nope no problems, fair credit to the guy if pokers not his main income he must have a helluva job and time to be on $120k+ a year and have time for online poker
Not exactly great game selection is it though when there are loads of other $22s about

I have no problem with him being a part of this don't get me wrong here. I just view it as a tenner down the drain since I can play $22 multis anyway without signing up for this (ok the $10k added for the PCA seat at the end of season is an extra $10 or so in equity). I'm just bitter though.  |

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

just goes to show how fair and honest the draw was (not that i ever doubt it would be), i know the apat committee better than probably 90% of apat members and i never got a seat or a reserve place.
fair play guys and good luck to all that were successful hopefully i will get a chance to play in the future apat events.

why - is there something wrong with successful amateurs being members of the APAT? And APAT's 2006 amateur champion is Tony Bloom after all poker is not his main source of income. Wonder what kind of final table I could come up with which whilst ultimately fitting the defination and able to play in the APAT comps yet would project a negative image as anything but a amatuer/recreational event.  I did raise the point if someone who makes a big profit wins any of the events that this will surely have a negative perception to many. People can say "is there anything wrong with successful amateurs being part of the APAT and he's a bookie by day and therefore qualifies" but the fact is many may decide not to join if they feel the entrants are ringers. Who's to say if someone is a ringer or not, it's upto the APAT to decide who plays and many will defended $100k winners to play as they are merely just successful amatuer. Then again many will view differently and will vote by not signing up. |

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |
