Was just wondering how many seats there was for this event? There are 42 names on the direct buy ins list. Obvioulsy there are the regional/online qualifiers to be added to that, but the Maybury can hold at least 150. just wondering! :)
Cheers
Billyho
"Team FNP"

There are 130 seats in total, just as there was last year. The Maybury have confirmed that as their capacity for this event. We could have filled the event several times over.
-
Cheers for the quick reply :)
Will be their anyway.....unfortunately as the cheerin section :-\
Come on Team FNP qualifier Kenny "TheGuy" McKenzie ;D

Hi billy, I am noob to forum land, and I have been fortunate to win a seat on BSQ ::)
It is my very first land based seat won in any guise, just hope it is the beginning of the next level for me ;)
I am Paul from Rhyl in N.Wales, and i am really looking forward to hooking up with some of you guys out there in APAT world. Including Kenny, "The Guy"
So gl all as always.
Will anyone be playing Friday night?? I believe there is a £10 rebuy, but don"t quote me on that!!
CU there ;D

Well done cyntaf... A couple of us won our seat in the clickfest and will be up there for the game on Friday night as a bit of a tester for the real thing.. We are not far from you (Ellesmere Port) be nice to share a drink or three in Edinburgh....
-
Cheers Billy, and well done Duke + co, sure we"ll manage a brew or two.
Bloody email >:(
Been on phone to B.T. most afternoon >:( Isn"t technology great WHEN it works.
Off to Birkenhead for £30 freezeout 2nite duke, was gonna do leo"s £20 rebuy, but won"t be able to get there in time :(
See y"all in bonnie

The re buy on the friday is £10.You only get 500 chips and re buys are for 2 hours i think.Its very loose and not my cup of tea,saying that there should be good numbers with the apat event the next day and a good prize pool.

Wow thats poor amount of chips.. I just cant believe that anybody would want to play that except for players who like a big of bingo.. :o
-
You"ll find a fair few of the regulars play "all-in blind" for the entire rebuy period too. Not fun!
-
I just dont undertsand how that can be fun poker @ £10 a shot.. I was lucky locally there was a £5 re-buy which meant you could easily afford £30 and have 6 buy ins, but how can anyone learn or play poker when its like that..
Thank god for APAT leading the way. Virgin"s tournament on the weekend was exactly the same minus the 150/300 level and u know what, it was fine, but its the way people want to play..
Virgin for next APAT sponsors IMO.. ;)

Just a different game with adjustment required. Treat a £10 rebuy the same as £100 f/o in bank roll terms. There was a good thread on rebuys on this forum a while back, explaining that you can get some good deep stack play after the addon break and that in some ways the skill required to TID is higher due to a bigger range of stacks you get compared to a freezeout
I personally dont like rebuys, but that is because i cant afford them

Not your cup of tea ;D
Its right up your street Mickey, suits your playing style perfectly ;D ;D ;D ;D

And that"s where the argument falls down about skill - a lot of them end up not being about who"s the best, but who has the deepest pockets and who gets lucky.
Once you get to the freezeout stage, if you have got lucky in the rebuy stage, you can use superior skill to win.
But you shouldn"t have to rely on getting an hour (or however long the rebuy period is) of luck before you can start playing properly. As the skill only comes in to play when you reach the freezeout stage - how can this not always be worse than a tournament which is a freezeout all the way through?
You may have guessed - I don"t like the whole concept of rebuy tournaments.

If maniacs want to shove in with anything and juice up the prize pool for an hour thats fine by me

It is fine if you dont get sucked out on.. but if you do 3 / 4 times and your pockets aint that deep then its goodnight for you..

Works both ways though - you sit and wait for a premium hand in the knowledge that you"re guaranteed action, but then your all in open raise with AA gets six callers!!
Cheap rebuys are just a freak version of poker, but they certainly don"t represent poker in the purest sense! I prefer double chance freezouts, and steer clear of rebuys.

This is true, double chance freezeouts and limited rebuy, rebuys represent a different type of skill set, but I think unlimited rebuy tournaments should be left to the poker tourists and the gamblers.

i was just wondering how many seats are still available, if any, for the Scottish Amatuer Poker Championship in Edinburgh on May 3rd and if i would be eligible to play in the tournament having missed the regional qualifiers for the event? If so, how i would go about buying a ticket for the event? i know it is £75.00 for the ticket, but who would i pay or am i too late?

I"m deeply offended by your statemant Duke.My game is cultured,well thought through and mathematically sound.
For at least the first 10 minutes.Then i throw the chips in and hope to get lucky. ;)

What sort of cash games are usually offered at the casino (I am assuming that I"m not going to run well in the main event ;D)?
Also, who"s going to be around on Sunday evening?

Last year I got suckered into a 6 card Omaha cash game -- still emotionally scarred -- lol
Unfortunately travelling back with the trophy on Sunday ;D ;D ;D

I"m not flying back until Monday, so hoping for some sort of game on the Sunday night.

We"ll have to see what"s available. If there isn"t a decent tournament there are always cash games.
-
I"ll be there on Sunday evening
-
Me and Petch (FrankyWortho) will be there on Sunday night - I"m sure we"ll be indulging in some sort of poker-related entertainment, possibly with the mearest hint of alcohol involved.

Sounds good to me.
-
I"ll be there Sunday too.
;D
-
I"ve blocked Monday out on the diary so I"ll be hoping to be there for a game on Sunday night. Not Omaha 6 tho ... I"m not that loose / brave / rich / stupid!
-
All being well and as long as i haven"t done my tits(bankroll)in, I should still be there until Monday morning. I"ll see if her indoors will let me have an extra £10 pocket money...Lol
Still having trouble with my isp @ mo :"(
So if no more posts, look forward to seeing y"all there.
