Title: New to APAT, Will be playing at aspers
Post by: IHASTHENUTS on September 03, 2007, 10:00:18 AM

Hi all,

Ive just signed up to this league and will be playing at aspers when its on in september, just wondering if anyone here is playing at this regeion?

On a side note, what do people think of the weekly freezeouts at aspers, is it possible to get a decent ROI considering the stack sizes and blind increases? Without some serious luck its pretty hard to take down, although ive taken it down before, i was damn lucky.

Ash.

Hello Ash and welcome to the APAT.

I have only played in Aspers the once and it was a very nice casino, so I really cant say about their comps.

Look forward to seeing you on the forum and at the events.

Jimmy

So itll be the Grosvenor casino in Newcastle holding apat events rather than aspers

Not necessarily...APAT have a clause in their contract to allow them to play at ANY casino. They are not bound to Grosvenor. Or so I"m told :-)

Would have thought that might have more to do with playing in areas that dont have a Grosvenor like Dublin ?

What your saying sounds right Chris, shame, as I enjoyed Aspers a lot.

Ill be playing in the northern region this year.

Hopefully well have a structure and timetable sorted soon.  One thing I want to avoid from last year is the late notice for all events, I travel round Europe a lot with work and so really need firm timetables in order to fit events around my work.
