APAT Season 2 suggestion

[Eyeofsauron]

I've really enjoyed the series so far. I've made some great friends and picked up more experience. I like the idea behind APAT, in trying to develop amateur players like myself, in providing an opportunity to enter larger tournaments and the like.

One suggestion I have is this: Would it be possible in future series to tournaments such as Omaha, Stud, Razz, 2-7 Triple Lowball, and HORSE events? The reason I'm asking is I've never had an opportunity to play any of these games live. I really enjoy playing all types of poker for the variation and challenge, and feel these formats are massively under-represented at present. If APAT wants to stand out from the rest, this could be another good way of doing so.

There's so much more to poker than Hold Em. It would be encouraging to see if APAT would be prepared to host different poker tournaments, as this could send a clear message to the various casinos that there is a demand for such games.

I can imagine my thoughts on this matter are in the minority, and most people feel more comfortable just playing Hold Em. Anyone want to share their thoughts on this?

All for new things for season 2 but I do think extra events in disciplines not many are familiar with is unrealsitic.

One idea I would like to see would be a heads up event - either managed by PS or live over a cpl of days.  I dont know how easy it would be to organise but no doubt this would be extremely popular!!

Thanks fior all the suggestions guys, keep them coming. (Eyes, sorry I missed your Post originally).

Season Two plans are well advanced, but we will take a look at the things you gave suggested.

As well as what you can see is happening in APAT, there is a huge amount of "Association" work being done right now, stuf that's critical to our wonderful game of Tournament Poker. The nature of some of it means we need to stay under the radar for a while, but we are talking to all sorts of people, & progress is, to be honest, way ahead of target. The public face of APAT are the Tour Events, but we have a lot of work to do to meet with the Association's aspirations. We are on the way! Many of you have seen how we run our Tournaments, and your feedback from these continues to tell us what we need to know.

We are on the case Mr Champion!

Has to be said, "maxward" is the UK Amateur Poker Champion.

Along withWelsh Amateur Champion  janjellis, & English Amaterur Champion kinboshi, APAT have been blessed with three great Ambassadors for poker already.

Long may the trend continue.

100% with you Sauren.
As the live events are completely over subscribed surely filling another discipline shouldn't be too hard?
Or perhaps at least some alternative events on Stars?

All aboard the Horsey?

I too agree with EOS, I personally would like to compete to be the APAt season 2008 seven card stud  or omaha Hi/Lo champion. Variety is the spice of life and these could be additional comps to run alongside the tour championships. 

[Tractor]

Maybe an APAT Festival at DTD, with more than just holdem?
Im sure that would work.
I havnt had chance to play any of teh APAT events and im hoping there will be plenty of room if they can tie up with DTD.
Fingers crossed.

These are wonderful suggestions, & we shall see. We are in talks with numerous people, but we want to ensure tht....

a) The APAT Hold-Em Series is not diluted by losing our focus.

2) If we do go down the route of other poker variants - & I love the idea - then we will add money.

We are on the case.

Brilliant, I'm already excited about season 2, this one has been brilliant (when I've managed a seat), and it's sounding like it's only going to get better.

Here's to the DTD WSOAP festival type thingy!!!!!!

The problem with HORSE events its staff who know how to deal it!
