Title: APAT replacement therapy
Post by: technolog on August 31, 2007, 18:06:34 PM
It"s only 3 weeks since the last on-line APAT comp and I"m already getting withdrawal symptoms (gobble-gobble-brrrrrr).

Anyone know of a deepish stack NLHE tourney for a reasonable buy-in (no more than $50) for a Saturday evening?

Don"t play the deepstacks on PokerStars.  I entered one once, and boy does it take some time to get to the end.  Might be worth doing if you"re playing some others tournaments or cash games at the same time.

Other than that, I can"t help at all. No need to thank me...

I think there"s a $10 one about 5pm ish?

I"ve got a hazy memory of one anyway.

Here"s a couple to look at -

19:30 daily $20 + $2 Deepstack on Virgin (Boss Network), 5000 chips, 15 mins levels.
19:00 Sat $24 + $2 Doublestack on Full Tilt ($17.5k Gtd), 3000 chips, 10 min levels

Does APAT have any leverage with BlueSquare to get a weekly tourney added to their schedule during the off-season with the same buy-in and format as we had on Poker Stars?

That Virgin tourney looks absolutely fantastic - exactly what I was thinking of. I love the way the clock increases too. Cheers Rio, that"s one I owe you.

There is also a $22 dollar tourney on Paradise Poker starting at 7.30pm with 5000 chips and blinds escalating from 12 minutes to 30 minutes.

$10 5pm start with 5k starting chips on pokerstars was the one I was thinking of.

This thread reminded me to look it up and play it.

So far, so good - running 2 hours and I"m in first place.

But there are still 462 players left, plenty of time for me to muck it up. :)

The virgin one was a very good structure.There were at least 5 apat players playing it managed to bust out in 7th.

There is a ridiculous amount of play in the pokerstars one, we are well inside the money and the average stack has about 70 x bb.

I haven"t completely messed it up yet, but I am down to 10th place (57 left)

I can"t believe these muppets will call preflop, post flop and turn raises with a pair of 3"s!!!!!!

And then hit there runner runner straight on the river!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean to say, I went out in 26th.

Cinqtupled my entry fee but not quite so good when the entry fee is only $10.

How many runners were there in the Virgin one by the way?
914 in this Stars one, I was wondering if it was a little bit less of a marathon on Virgin.

I played this tournament on Stars once! 1000"ish players, finshed 12th for $96... but it took 11 1/2 hrs.

There were only 111 runners in the virgin tourny,but with 15 minutes blinds ,it took about 3 3/4 to get to the final table.

Deep stacked and then some.

Only need to hang for another 750 odd players for victory :)
