Me neither but I"m gonna reload my BlueSq account and give the HeadsUp and Main Event a bash.

Oh bum! The Main Event clashes with the Sky event at DTD, which I"m in. Also the GCBPT at Liverpool, which I"m not (well, I was, but that"s another story). Guess some decisions will have to be made.

If I wasn"t on holiday in Scotland (http://i513.photobucket.com/albums/t337/HaworthBantam/Scotland1.gif), I might have been tempted to come out of on-line retirement for these events. Oh well, good luck to all those that will be playing.

Unfortunately ipoker cannot run a heads up tournament so that will be removed from the schedule.

Didnt come across APAT in the days when it"s online programme was hosted on Stars, but I have to say that for tournament play and structure, Stars is just sooooo much better then iPoker......... and they do Razz tourneys... and they do HeadsUp tourneys.

The online tournaments were better on stars but i suspect there must be reasons why blue sq/grosvenor are the preferred choice

Blue Square are quite simply second to none with regards the development of live poker in the UK, particularly with their sponsorship of the GUKPT and APAT.  Make no mistake, PokerStars were a superb sponsor of APAT in season one, but they do not have access to the largest portfolio of poker rooms in Europe, as Blue Square do, through sister company Grosvenor.

cant believe the main event is on a sat night...oh well can see me phoning in sick for that one..the promise of yet another gukpt seat is all too tempting!!! ;D ;D

If it were only an online series then Pokerstars would be second to none, but as I think most people agree that it"s the live poker that really makes APAT special then a link to some bricks and mortar is much appreciated.

Just seems strange that they dont have all the different poker variants on their site, surely there must be plans for ipoker to have them in the future

I"ll be trying to learn how to play stud so I can have go at that one too. I"m in for the Omaha and really looking forward to the main event. Shame the heads up can"t be supported and I hope ipoker may change this in the future but this looks a really good series all the same.

The Duke proposes to develop and analyse past error correction for APAT tournaments and will be making a tangible research contribution with practical applications. I recommend that Duke, poker software not withstanding, will play like an absolute rock and that this situation be accepted by the wider APAT community.

Furhermore this particular combatant will endevour to be sober, however mitigating circumstances will be taken into consideration.

I am in -- bring it on
