APAt Has lost it
APAT:
It is too late to amend the online sats and they are non comparative with the online series anyway.

As an official losing tournement player according to the databases, I guess the longer the tournament lasts for, the less money I am going to lose overall!!!
Anyone else for 50000 chips?

Don"t think this many chips would help increase the standard of play or the length of the tournament. With all the new players coming into APAT we have to expect a wide variation in the standard of play. Its true a lot of people seem to know nothing about "risk reward" or "pot odds" and it can be very frustrating when you get a bad beat (no names mentioned Sir Percival in tonights on-line Sat... you should know better ;) ), but that is the nature of poker, when your good hand holds you think what a donk and thanks for the call. Inexperienced players seem to be all in preflop no matter how many starting chips we seem to start with....
To win tournaments you need a lot of skill and luck, and pray the donk doesn"t luck their way into the big win... but it does happen... but for how long.... sooner or later their luck will turn and they will start losing the money they have won.
APAT is set up for the "Amateur" player, $10 are well in the range of all amateurs.
Antes would have been nice but as Des said "not possible with Blue Sq". Also most new players would never have played in a tournament with Antes.... should we be putting them at a disadvantage just because they are not as experienced.
I have spent 9 hours in an on-line tournament on PartyPoker so it is something that is to be expected but with work next day I agree that this is a little long on a Thursday so cutting the starting stack by 1000 chips may be the answer, but as a total poker hoare who justs loves to play going back to the 50000 is starting to look even better.....
but I"d probably still be out in three hands against somebody who feels the absolute need to push all his chips preflop when I have either AA or KK sighhhhh... ::)

I agree that this online deepstack isnt really working as it should. As this tournament lasts for 5 hours or more, good players are taking bigger risks early on to define their tournament. They are reluctant to invest 4 hours with no return and the buyin is meaningless to many.
I vote for 3000 chips and a 12 min clock.
