APAT Scottish Amateur Poker Championship - Reserve a Seat
AAroddersAA:
Gotta agree with Des here . If there had not been the event in Swansea at the start of 2010 I would not have started playing the events. Giving seats to the casino and letting them use them will bring new members to APAT. Unused seats will almost certainly get used on the day. We are talking about a very small number of seats here which are being used to promote APAT and help ensure it continues to grow. A very good decision in my opinion.

The casino will hold sit and go satellites on Wednesday night and a number of seats may be released back to APAT following that event, ie we"ll know more on Thursday. However, APAT always wants to bring new players in so allocating seats through the host venue will always be part of our plans.

Defo important to attract new blood and this seems like a good compromise.

I take it the people playing the SNG satellites will be APAT members?
I can"t help but feel a mistake has been made choosing the Alea as a choice of venue. Sure, it"s big, it"s on the Waterfront and it looks nice, but the way things are organised in that place is ridiculous. The Genting is maybe another option to consider in future :)

Yes
Playing it automatically makes them APAT members.

My concern with the Alea, although I guess this could relate to any casino, was that I played the £200 festival in the summer there but some of the locals that came along for the normal Saturday ended up entering it. I had two at my table who literally were 3 and 4 betting each other blind every other hand while enjoying way too many beers. I got stuck in the middle of one of these altercations with my AA which I obviously wasn"t folding and was bust when my flopped set lost out to one of the guy"s straight on the river - he committed himself blind preflop with 53os! I don"t mind losing a hand but these guys turned up for the usual £20 turbo afternoon game, were getting well trashed and decided to "play" this tournament! There was no poker getting played and the whole table were p1ssed off with proceedings.
