A bit of a late response to this, have been offline much of the week
I am pretty sure this is a fantastic move for APAT, and will do much to drive it forward in the years ahead. Certainly the right people are involved in the team to do that.
A combination of things means I have to step aside from that team, but I very much hope I"ll be updating a good number of APATs going forward on an ad-hoc basis. I might play the odd one too.
This will allow me to kid myself, right up until the cards are dealt, that I know a good deal about all of your playing styles and tendencies and I can play accordingly :D
All the best to everyone, see lots of you at DTD I hope!

You"ve been the engine behind APAT since the very start Rich and we (especially many of the players wives and mothers!) are going to miss your incredible sense of humour in the live updates.
Thanks for everything you"ve done, from travelling to the far flung corners of the globe to having to deal with last minute venue issues. I don"t think I"ve ever heard you properly complain. Even when you had to spend an hour standing outside Orangewings in freezing conditions while the world seemed to implode all around us. Happy days :)
Look forward to having you guest update for us and above all, play!
Thanks again.
Des.

Thanks very much Tony, those words mean a great deal to the team and I.
You have been a fantastic partner in this initiative over the years and I have no doubt there will be times ahead when I"ll need advice and it"s your door that I will knock on. Knowing you as I do, I know it will remain open also.
Since the day I chased you around inner London, it"s been emotional...

That would be a whole chapter in a book in itself...... you don"t take no for an answer, & I did try!
I had recently retired, & just wanted to slow down, & chill, but you were not listening. As it turned out, I would not have missed it for the world.
Think you first nailed me @ Gutshot one night, & later, when I was working on Poker Week, or Poker 425, & you even came across to the studios in Wapping one day & we met in the Canteen. I"m in a hurry, as ever, & hoped to get it over with quickly. Then you tabled your 195 page Power Point Presentation, & insisted I read every page.......;)

Haha, I"ve still got that presentation....and tens of thousands of emails that seem to have gone over and back between yourself, Tighty and myself over the years. God, what a blast we had, particularly in season one. To think it was nearly scuppered by PayPal the day before launch!

APAT IS the greatest, & I don"t see that ever changing, it is in safe hands.
