@IrishTom:

please check the Crazy Pineapple details... you mention 4 cards dealt there, but should be 3!! (probably copy/paste from the Irish and didn"t correct)

@ everyone:

we had this event during our last Belgian APAT tournament (first time ever in Belgium that Crazy Pineapple was dealt in a casino) and players really enjoyed it!! So if you are able to play this event, please do... you won"t regret it!

As I"m a bit thick, how do I reserve a seat in the 6 max? Do I have to reg an account with Corrals or are there other ways? Looking forward to playing this a I don"t get play live much, let alone 6 max(my fav tourney type).
regards,
Mohican.

Holding tanks on Coral are closed now (I think).

Eventbrite would be your best option to reserve a seat. Then you could pay on the day.

Thanks for that. I saw that option but wasn"t sure about it. I take it just turning up on the day to buy-in without a reservation is the worse option,esp when these events are very popular.(got a mate who won"t be sure he can play till next week)

Thanks for pointing this out Joel.  We have just sent an email to a small number of affected players drawing their attention to the error.  We will process a seat reservation refund to any player who may be unable to attend the event at the correct time.

A 2pm landing means leaving the airport by say 2.45 after taxiing, immigration & customs etc.

Depending on how you"re getting to Stratford I"d say 90 minutes by Underground, perhaps a just over an hour if you take the overgound into central London first.

Tom, you advise in the player briefing to pre join as a member of the casino to cut down on the time taken to finish the joining process when you arrive.

Is joining the casino the same as Aspre Xtra membership?

A "new membership" system/scheme was set up about 6 months ago - so anyone who has not got a "new card" needs to replace their old one - Aspers Xtra is the new system/scheme.

Basically the "new" scheme will be a red, gold or black membership card - if you have a different colour one (mine is brown ish from last year) then you need to replace it at the casino reception - but that will be a simple and quick process as you are already a member - it"s just a new card you need to update.

Hi Tom,

So if we"ve been a member of any Aspers in the past, even a few years ago, we don"t need to register fresh and they should be able to find us in the system?

They found me in the system and I was still using an Aspers card from Swansea..which they closed down years ago.

They found me with my DOB etc and I regged with no problems.

I got a new card issued in a couple of minutes at the Loyalty Desk. Might be a good idea to take ID just in case though.
