APAT down!!

Debit cards only?  No credit cards?  

No, surprised me too.  Apparently been that way since the Vic event at the end of last season.

I don't like using my debit card online for a number of reasons.  I'm investigating a number of options (including a pre-paid debit card, opening a dedicated poker account with debit card, etc.).

Oh well, thanks.  No biggy, but credit would have been better cos then it's almost free eh

Still, going to get one in the fest hopefully

Apologies in advance for going off topic.

Have to say to Mr Codd, some nice photos via your link sir. I've tried the water splashes also, with varying results, and yours look better than mine

I was yapping with him on the phone last night (his battery refused to do the decent thing and fail again) whilst he yo yo'd between 16,000 and 26,000. I couldn't believe it when he told me this morning that he finished 44th after donking.

Thanks very much, I've failed so bad and tried loads of times.  I spent about 4 hours a couple of weeks ago trying again but failed agin.

Have you seen Irene Mullers photos?  She's the Queen of the splashes, some amazing photos.

I haven't, I presume examples of her work are on the interweb ? I shall have to go looking....

[Graham C]

Her pbase gallery is here http://www.pbase.com/daria90/root

Amazing

just noticed she's added a few in the milk and coffee bit (the shots with the  cup are new)   There goes my weekend trying again lol

[HaworthBantam]

Just found the gallery myself - very impressive.

No Exif data though, that would have been useful.

[Graham C]

Yeah that kinda sucks.  She does have another gallery at a photo competition site (don't have the details at work) and there's a bit of exif info on there, I'll send the link to you later if you like.

oh,not hard to use Google these days, it's here http://www.dpchallenge.com/profile.php?USER_ID=52549

That would be good, thanks.

I'm also interested in the lighting she's using, it's absolutely spot on. Ah, and on the subject of work, I'd better do some.....

It's a talent.  I only had 25K, and there were 1 million chips in play, so still lots to do.  Went card-dead and lost some races.  Don't think I played all that badly otherwise.  Bodders also had a decent stack.  He went out only 5 or so places short of a seat, and was knocked out with AK v AT all-in pre.  The fella who knocked him out had already won a seat the previous night... rule-changes are afoot!

Yes, think he said he was trying to win a non transferable seat for his girlfriend..........??

[Laxie]

Isn't it kind of a sticky one?  The seat can be put up 'for sale' on the exchange board and he can say she's bought it when replies come in.  Only way to stop it in future is to have Blue Square block anyone from entering who already has a seat won.

He will have the money instead of the seat.

The question is what APAT does with that seat.

In this satellite the option to buy it was given to the person who bubbled - this seems fair, but I think it would also be fair (and simpler) if it just went in the general pool to be available to the clickfest.

As long as there's no possibility of someone actually winning 2 seats (and hence then being able to sell one to who they want) then I don't see how this could cause a problem.
