James, I really am struggling to understand why you are adamant that the Dublin leg should be changed back to NLHE? Do you not believe that APAT should try new things to attract new members? I can understand Brendan"s/Damo"s POV because they live around the corner and it is their "home" leg so to speak, and also that they do not play PLO, but confused as to why you are so against it (and really the only one fighting for it).
You can see from posts above (Paulie, Stu, DodgyEnd, Ger, Rodders etc) that there are more than a few people willing to go to Ireland BECAUSE it is PLO. On top of that, it is well known in the UK that PLO tournaments do not work over here. DTD struggle to get runners for PLO. APAT struggle to get runners for PLO in their side events. If I were in Des/Tom/Matt's shoes, I would much rather try somewhere unknown than somewhere where bigger tours than APAT have tried, and failed miserably. Ireland to me seems the best chance of success for this event. Over the last 2 seasons, Ireland NLHE APAT main events have had

Something had to be changed.

But I think Brendan has got this spot on when he said getting an Irish based promoter onboard is the change that was needed.
I think the the bigger deal here is actually APAT hosting an event in a hotel based environment. I think that is a huge step forward and potentially opens up all sorts of opportunities.
One other thing to add here, and I don"t want to second guess what Tom is planning for the WCOAP, but with the additional days booked in at Aspers Stratford, I can"t see why a 2 Day PLO Side Event would not be included. This would again be a first for APAT and another great step forward.

Yeah, I think you would be correct there, and Tom has done his research, so let"s all go play a crazy four card game in Dublin whilst drinking Guinness.
What could possibly go wrong ?
