Brill ! :)

Just read this in the Poker Player Mag...nice one.
Will we be required to de-reg if we have already paid for a day 1a or 1b, as per other Betfair Satellites?
-
Wow nice one......
What are our official partners, WPT magazine offering then ;)

As far as I am aware, no you won"t. Betfair will manually enter the succesful players into the events. If you already have a seat in the holding tank, then Betfair will let you know whether you can just unregister or if they will do that for you and credit your account.
These tournaments won"t be linked to the holding tanks, so you WILL NOT need to unregister from a holding tank to be able to play them.

What time will these events take place?
-
Any idea when they will appear in the BF lobby for registration ?
-
Not sure guys, if I can get more info, I will post it up.

wowsers, pretty awesome sats.
Event that says 5card stud, is that mistype? Surely its 7card stud?
Either way will give it a bash :)

It"s a Betfair promo, so I"d register for the satellite, then see how many cards you get. ;D

Sounds like a plan :p

i know i might be pushing the boundaries on this but i don"t know if i can get this magazine in ireland so if anyone knows the password can you pm it to me.
thanks

Question about this. Does anybody know what time these things are, work is doing a really good job of interfering with poker (again) for me. I already may end up missing one event (non apat) I have qualified for. I want to try and play in these if I can though. Will they be 8pm starts?

I would guess they would be, but haven"t got anymore info from Betfair/Poker Player yet.

have you tried??
-
not yet
-
I"m pretty sure you can get it in Ireland. Most of the freerolls in the mag have the "available only to uk and ireland players"
-
Is there any indication of when the first one might appear on the BF site ? It"s only five days away and even with my reading glasses I still can"t see it.

I"ve noticed before that a lot of promotional tournaments tend to get added to poker sites at a very late date
-
Hi all

-
And it"s an 8pm start, with registration opening around 8pm on Saturday.

You"d be refunded your ME buyin in full.
The passport enables you to play upto 5 events. Nothing says you have to play all 5, but I believe the package value would remain the same, so remainder in expenses.
Hope that clears that up for you.

thanks leigh

i have had a look for the poker player mag in easons and a few other shops and it seens that i can not find it anywhere, does anyone know if if can be got in ireland or not if not can someone PM it to me.
thanks
-
Hardly anywhere stocks Pokerplayer magazine anywhere anymore, the only way people I know get it is by subscription or if they live near a casino that gets copies.
-
Sigh - tried 3 shops and none have the magazine :( if sum1 cud PM me the password or give me a link (or even a shop around the Chiswick/west london area who stocks it) then it would be much appreciated. Cheers!
-
I had one of these magazines, but now it is filed under B... Can someone please please please pm me the password so I can have a go..?
-
If so few people have the password from the magazine, I"m feeling a lot more confident about my chances :D

Its not really fair on the mag if a non subscriber enters the tourney
tbf its pretty poor form to even ask for the password, i suspect you already know that....

Unfortunately it appears the password for this was in the Daily Star today.
So it will be full of non-subscribers.

Unfortunately, I don"t take the Daily Star, so out of curiosity, how was it in there ? A Betfair advert ?

Ahhh, that all makes a bit more sense now, I was a little concerned how you knew this information. ;D
-
So, where are these 400+ players when we run value for money satellites for APAT events ?
or the events we run with added value GUKPT and APAT seats for that matter ?
Everyone seems to want something for nothing these days. ;)
-
The first 12 hands played on my table there were 8 all ins - most of them preflop
Think it"s settled down a bit now though, so hopefully will able to play some actual poker
-
8th hand on my table saw it fold round to Dewi on the button... raise to 50..... me in the BB.... re-raise with AK to 250...... Dewi 4-bet to 600...... me 5-bet all in for 2500...... Dewi call with Q8........ flop x88. better to bust now than 5 hours later I guess :)
-
I"ve got Dewi now.
Playing UKIPT sat as well - 5/10.
11/66 left at end of rebuy period - lol.
-
55th
man that was hard work, he called 40% of stack from limp call with 44, no help for me in the race
-
And it"s over - no seat.
3 seats - finished 4th. Had someone all-in with 4 left - KK v A7 - I"m gonna get a seat..........no chance - A on Turn.
£150 for 4th barely covered my rebuys.
-
Dewi is now on my table. Wish me luck ;D
-
21st. AIPF with 77 v 55. Flop 456. Turn 8. River 4. lol
-
AIPF against Dewi and the fish won.
Why cant the man fold AK.
-
Out in 18th after a good run, enjoyable night though.
-
Out in 15th :( - Dewi still looking strong
-
Dewi just lost a chuck. now 6/13
-
Up and down like a yo-yo.

Well played Dewi, might have been different if you hadn"t accidently folded your pocket nines against my AQs !! ;) It was all going in at that stage I think.

That can"t be right, he"s a fish!
-
He"s now 2/5, nearly got his main event seat paid for at least.
-
With five players left, he"s guaranteed a payday of $6.72
;D
-
Cashed for $1.24 in this. With a buy-in of $0.90+$0.10, that"s an ROI of 24%!

To be fair, the guy got dealt pocket aces twice in the heads up.
First time againt your QT which hit two pair on the flop, only for the board to pair the other card on the turn to bail him out.
Then against your QJ, when you hit the quad queens. I thought you were very generous to let it go on as long as you did. ;)

Well done Stu ;D

Well done Stu ;D
fish ;D

Will be hard to not play the HU while you you skipper Scotland to possible glory.
Lets face it, you do have a good chance, given the lack of a Costa Rican team

the good thing with these passport jobbies, is you pick whichever event you want to play, i.e you pick the ME only, the rest you get in exe"s, obv the more events you play the less you get in £££

WP Stu :D had I mis read this, I though it was PLO? Didnt play it went out for a Pizza instead !!

I though it was PLO?
It was meant to be - classic betfair

Welcome to APAT "sheriffatman".
Very unlucky last night, I watched the final table and thought you played very well as the shortstack when down to 4/5 players, and were very unlucky in the heads up.
Look forward to seeing you in Nottingham.

Welcome to APAT "sheriffatman".
Sheriffatman is new to APAT? I thought he was the guy who busted REALLY early in the 2008 Team Event in Manchester ;D (sorry, couldn"t resist)

private joke?
it def wasn"t me
btw could someone please explain which day 1 entry we"ll get and what the procedure is- do i need to join DTD eg?
cheers
Sorry no, wasn"t a private joke...... there"s another Sheriff FatMan out there somewhere.
Not sure which day 1 you get - sure Leigh will confirm though. But I can answer the DTD question - yes you need to join, and you can do this in advance on the DTD website, but will need to take driving license or passport on your first visit.
-
My initial comment was very much in jest at "Perceval", I certainly wasn"t having a dig at you whatsoever.
Betfair should contact you to choose which starting day you would prefer. You will need to be a member at DTD prior to playing the event. This can be done online through the dusk till dawn website, and save yourself a bit of time on the day.
As I said, you were very unlucky with the second lot of aces, not a lot else you could have done.
See you in Nottingham.
-
-
ps the other is an imposter! there can be only one sheriffatman! lol
think I recall the guy I"m thinking of was Curtis Ledger - presume that isn"t you then....
-
LOL, I thought it was Curtis too, untill I saw the post count.
Pretty sure his forum name had the correct number of f"s in it as well
what is an "atman" anyway?
well done last night anyway
-
Think you"ll find Curtis is "Sheriff Fatman" on here

no mate, my name is Jon, def not Curtis Ledger
looks like i picked a bad name!
i didnt realise Carter USM were still so popular ;D
maybe i could change name on here if poss? curtis looks well established on the forum - mods?
nice one ace, apparently there"s also a band called sheriff fatman from leeds (wonders of google.....)
Saw Jim Bob (or was it Fruitbat) at the Birmingham Academy last December supporting the Wonderstuff -still quality!
-
-
Not Curtis?! Oops. I"ve some editing to do. lol
-
Thanks for all the messages guys.
Really pleased to have won the event, even if it was all due to pure luck on every hand I played throughout the tournament. ;)
wp on second Jon, and welcome to the forum.
