APAT Brum Are you going???

[thediceman]

lol @ all this crying over a tenner.... its not like you pay a tenner just to get in the draw!

Diceman,

it seems that your ideal APAT tournament is full of people that have never seen a deck of cards in their life, something that gives you maximum chance of winning an EPT seat.

good luck to all that got a seat, am sure you will have a great time, despite the obvious travesty of people that win at poker playing in the tournament.

Thank you for making your false assumption because I have never said anything like that. Does make me laugh how people like to attribute points of views to others when not actually true. Firstly I have played against far more profitable players than the guy who won the first event and personally I am never been put off by playing anybody. Infact I have enjoyed many a MTT against professional poker players. But then again if it's more convenient for you to make false assumptions go for it.

What I have done is question the impact of such a player and how this may effect the creditability of what the APAT stands for. People can indeed choose to play or not but it has already been remarked upon by several people that they are unhappy with such a profitable player winning in a so called amateur/recreational event. As a result some people have subsequently stated that they will not join or continue to support the APAT in the future.

Just because I dare to suggest such a winner may effect future membership doesn't mean I want it to be "full of people that have never seen a deck of cards in their life and something that gives me maximum a chance of winning an EPT seat" so what gives you the right to make such an assumption. Personally it doesn't effect me one bit who plays in the APAT events for I shall NOT be joining under any circumstances even if it is limited to my so called dream of just "fish". I won't be joining because whilst I would like to play the live events it's a lottery and I'd rather spend my £10 down the pub. I know the £10 allows me to play the online comps but as these are on a Saturday night I have little chance to play them as Saturday is a social night. The only other reason for me to join would be to have a voice but my view is that any changes will take place with or without me.

I look forward to seeing my view somehow being twisted and adopt some other meaning I haven't actually expressed.

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..

just out of intrest who is this?

Congrtatulations to the successful members

Hard luck to those not selected


to answer a few questions on this thread:

about 600 people were in the draw

Purr of Aces is Des Morris, from Manchester

Event 2 onwards will be first come first served, no more random ballots. This was a one off due to cicumstances

APAT has covered in great detail the other advantages of being a member in the very very very long Launch thread on this page Rupert. If you are not happy with what you read, PM me and I can talk to you

We are actively sourcing venues that can accomodate more runners. I found one such at the weekend that could in theory hold 700 runners. So progress is being made there

Any people with problems paying for their seat. contact me. (not for money but if your preferred payment is not an option!)

I cant believe im reading this ....

If you got a seat, CONGRATS.

If you didnt, unlucky.

If you didnt get a seat and you are crying like a bitch ...take a good long look at yourself and think how you are coming across to everyone reading this thread.


what was that saying ??  something about pleasing some of the people ...

I could not agree more.

I'm in and really looking forward to the event.

I cannot understand all the negativity about the apat.  This is new and different for poker and something that we as players have needed for a long time.  It will be a learning process and things will be need to be tinkered with as we go along.  Feedback is crucial to make the apat successful, but it needs to be constructive and presented in a positive manner.  

Good luck to all blondes who are in & see you at the Broadway.

Also has anyone else had trouble with the payment link or is it just me?

Tighty Star City can hold 700 if you are looking?

Thanks for this.

Will event 2 be done as "fastest finger first"?  And at what time will this be?  This may place some members at a disadvantage due to connection speeds or not being able to access the site at that time.  What about the possiblity of members who were not selected for event 1 being seeded for event 2 and future events to allow all members equal access to the live events.

I'm not sure is the honest answer. I take your points and I'll pass them on

i dont think any top pro will be at broadways due to it being on the same weekend as the ept in the vic, any pro worth his salt will be in that rather than trying to win a £75 freezeout

[Bainn]

Ha, so the heads of HIPPP and BUPP will clash again, i'm in......

[Ironside]

well that means the number 1 reserve will get in then as i am going to get KIV to sit on all members of HIPP at bB3
