Really looking forward to this again.  I"ll also be posting a banner directly to your diary from the APAT home page James.

lol, nae pressure ...  :)

ThinkerJE:
Okay, flight booked 29 May direct from Manchester.  Also on the flight will be fellow SHGC (Solihull Home Game Crew) members Jon G (4th APAT Luton) & Sharp (APAT cashes at Dublin & Walsall).  Its a ten hour flight and no doubt we will pass the time playing 17 card chinese poker.  I am officially the world"s worse chinese poker player (even worse than Hellmuth) so I may have done my entire bankroll before I touch down at Mccarran.  Plan is to pre register for the big $1,500 NLHE with 2 day 1"s that starts at the Rio on the Saturday (should be a monster prize pool).  Staying at the Circus again, it was great last year and is so much cheaper than other hotels (great value for money and more to spend on buy ins).  Cannot wait for this trip to begin and looking forward to sharing my experiences and random thoughts with you again.

Jon G is spending 8 weeks in Vegas for the WSOP and I have him to make a final table at least (or even a bracelet).  You can follow his progress on his blog.

Shameless plug I know, but he has put a link to this thread on it.

Anyway will up date nearer the time on how the bankroll is looking and what my poker schedule will be.

NO BAD BEATS - Vegas won"t know what has hit them with the SHGC in town!!!

Spursman:
What has APAT done, brought big tournament poker to eager and keen amateurs. Let them find out that they can step up and face the big boys with confidence.......

If there are any doubters out there about what the value and ethos of APAT is cannot be left in any doubt. Des's idea of poker for poker players must make him proud to see members showing in major tournaments across Europe and the world.

Sorry you Northern boys aren"t gonna be on your own, there are going to be any number of members out there at various times during the series, even playing the main event.

I"ve got three events lined up, O8, PLO and HO, there are players in the stud, other Omaha and of course various vanilla holdem games. Back up events at the Golden Nugget and Binions are also being scheduled, so there is every opportunity that we"ll cross chips at a table somewhere.

Des get your finger out and produce some sort of Commemorative APAT shirt so we can recognise each other, maybe get Blue sq. to put a few dollars in so we can buy each other a drink or three perhaps? Mine and Terry"s are XXL, Danny 3XL? Pottsy and co XL"s and large maybe. Get it done in enough time so we can order them personalised.

APAT:
Thanks Jim.  Mary has done a lot of work on this and there will be embroidered shirts available in plenty of time for Vegas - and you will be able to personalise them.
