Grant,
It"s always been in the schedule for the last weekend in July. Don"t think it"s ever changed from anything else.

yeah poor turnout, maybe reaction to last night
Won my seat so playing regardless of shifts etc etc. Well done also to HK Phooey, amazingly came back from $11 and to BKDJ Kebab. Unlucky to others I came across, still look forward to seeing you all on 30th. Good luck in other satellites 8)
I am trying to arrange a £25+5 Six Max NLHE for the Sunday afternoon, 48 runners max
Razz was the plan, but the venue would have to train dealers from afresh and I would rather they got the main event right first and foremost
Will confirm as soon as I can
hi im new and never played an event, im from london just wonder what is the dress code? and what id do i need bring? as i only have drivers licence but no passport, what time do you recomend we get there for the main event?

Or perhaps a reaction to the fact that Glasgow is a long way away for most! Having said that, I"ll be there.
just your birthday suit will be fine no 1 will notice you :-[

Perfectly understandable - sometimes people have seen James Bond in a casino wearing a dinner jacket & bowtie and think that is compulsory. It isn"t - a normal suit and tie is totally acceptable nowadays.
thank you for your help i see that many people are going there for 3 night? what is happening on the friday? do i need to turn up then? or is saturday fine?

Binked a seat (sorry gerry) - bring it on
Satellites are now all live for Glasgow. If you win a seat, I will add your name to the list in this thread. You will not be added to the holding tank on 888poker. Any problems with this, just drop me a message.
You will also see the Direct Buyin Holding Tank in the Lobby. This will become available for registration from 9pm on Thursday 7th July.

Bold above - not true! So there"s actually only 81 seats on sale tonight. Yikes!
Trying to remember from last time. Am I right in thinking no password for tonights buy in.

Correct. Holding tank should open for reg at 9pm, and you just click to register.
If it is anything other than that, I will be unavailable for the rest of the night, having gone for a long walk off a short pier.

I"ve jnust bought in directly. anyone know what happens now with regards to main event reg do you just turn up and play do the send out anything to say youve boiught in etc?
One problem with the current method of buying in is that when you are playing live, the card-rooms block all the online poker-rooms except the one they are connected with, so you cannot buy in until you go home, whereas the APAT site is accessible. I guess there will be spaces this time, but it could become an issue if the scrum for seats starts again.

how far is the airport from the casino

how far is the airport from the casino
it"s usally easy to get from any airport that serves any city, you can get a bus from the airport to buchannon st station which is beside queen st rail station, £7 return 25 min journey bus every 10 min 24/7
What date and time will they go off sale?
i can"t seem to find it on the site
Can"t get on 888 at the moment how many players are registered for this one so far ???
I"ve been asking round a little this event seems to have slipped under the radar on the Glasgow poker scene. I"ve been playing mostly in the alea & the mint I ain"t been in the merchant for some time so don"t know if there advertising this event! So might not see as many of the regular Glasgow players as normal I"m thinking that might not be such a bad thing ?
I agree 100% I"d be one player that would like it be pre reg online seats only! Maybe this is the event to make that rule a reality !
I agree with boywonder the standard of player willing to part with £75 on the day to be honest is not the best to say the least !! These players are used to cheap wham bam thankyou mam style of poker events you get in most casinos in Glasgow. Those who are willing to travel some distance in some cases to play the APAT events are looking to avoid these kind of players that could ruin such a well organised event as this one ! I"d opt for less players with a higher standard everytime!
Trust me if 50% of the field buy in on day it will become clear what I mean ! Mecca bingo could be a better option!

Would be disappointed if there was a move to withdraw the Scottish Amateur Championship. Marketing could have told you that the weekend of the Tourney coincides with the local "Glasgow Fair" Holiday, a possible reason for the unfilled capacity.
The other reason could be the the Gala is not the best of venues, the Alea would have been more suitable.

better to play a 150 runner tourney in which two thirds of the field don"t have a clue, as opposed to a field of 50 sharks!!
Feel free to spread to word, we are slightly baffled as to where all the Scottish APATers are hiding at the moment.
If the demand is not there, it makes it tough to justify heading to Scotland next season.

The Alea was a major disappointment when they were used for an event I was involved with before. Great facility, huge improvements required in hosting large scale third party tournaments
No idea what "Glasgow Fair" is. Neither did the venue suggest the date would be an issue

Has there been any mention of a move to withdraw or are you just scaremongering? lol.
All bought in and looking forward to my first APAT tourament ;)
I was responding to the suggestion that it may be hard to justify staging the SAC, due to the lack of patrionage in an earlier post

72 registered now, I suggest it will hit the required numbers by the end of the week, justifying the decision to allow The Scots to have a Championship.
it may be slow but i think its going to reach the magic number of 120 players !
what happens if the event sells out online ?? im sure you will have some players hanging around on the day looking for a seat!
for how many levels ?
go for it - 47 names in so far
48
Will see you at the bar.

And wonder why you have been bust by a random who called down your large all in bluff with bottom pair. I"ll save that for the weekly events. I would prefer a higher standard of player in a two day event in all honesty.

Lesson to learn - don"t try and bluff the fish. I still don"t understand why you would prefer to play a field with a higher standard of player. When it comes to online table selection, do you go looking for tables full of decent regs to ensure you see some good play, as opposed to looking for tables full of easy money?

I"m talking about a two day event event - you"re going to run into better players sooner or later so I would prefer to be playing against better opposition in an event like this to test myself and make it more of an achievement. I only play live tournaments, I don"t typically play online or sit"n"gos anyway.
Also, fish get lucky too - if you are moved to a new table mid way through a tournament and figure most of the "fish" are gone and have an opponent with a good stack on a weak hand, you may well be prepared to pull the trigger to win a large pot only to find out then that they are inexperienced and the good stack they have come by was purely down to luck and bad calls which they have just made.

Will the apat tour be supplying their own chips & cards for the players to use ?
I"m sure I seen that gold medal in cash converters Window the other day! Yours ????
Hey does anyone know what time the tournament is due to start on the Saturday. I will be direct buying into the tournament but depends on when it starts and finishes on Saturday. Anyone with any insight into this please?
Thanks

i cant buy in for another week or so, so im kinda just fcked as it wer atm, really wanting to play this as i havent played an APAT since the scottish 2 years ago! plus this is the weekend before my 21st.
Also whats gonna happen with the structure if you are using the the gala"s chips? as the smallest denomination the merchant have are 50 chips. (sorry if this has been asked/mentioned)
Im sure if there is an issue the casino would have raised it by now so i would think theres no need to worry ;)

THOU SHALT TRUST IN THE TIGHTY. ;D ;D
wasnt trying to cause any fuss or anything just thought i"d bring it up, but im assuming they are gonna do somin about it.

The 25 chip issue has been resolved.
Tighty and I will be at the venue early, we have just been issued with 888poker hacksaws and an APAT branded workmate.
Will have 25 denomination chips cut up in no time.
And before anyone asks, no, this does not count as the first APAT chop.
Actually that would seriously affect the structure. Doubling the starting stack is not the answer. It would be more appropriate to just play the first 3 levels as 50/100. Then every level is the same (except for antes where something could be worked out).
Looks like I"m going to have to come out of retirement for this :)

The 888 software prints me out a list. Three columns. Alias, real name and football allegiance.
We then rig the seat draw to ensure all Partick Thistle fans are kept apart from St Mirren fans, and all Old Firm fans are put on the same table, Rangers bb to celtic button and the other way on alternate tables
I then don"t turn up, leaving it to the local TD to sort
I was speaking to a merchant city regular about this event he heard that they may be moving the poker tables upstairs instead of the usual location of downstairs on the gaming floor! I think upstairs could be the better option ! Anyone know what the the casino plans are ??

Been a while since i was last there but upstairs would defo be better option as it would be very cramped in the normal cardroom
exactly that
91 seats have been sold
120 is capacity
remaining seats on sale on the day, first come first served after midday, in cash
Have offered the venue the opportunity to do a live satellite for seats, so if you are local you might like to check if they intend running one
when will the player list be posted?
PINT PRICE ALERT!!!!!
Over £4 a pint for tennents lager in the merchant !! Think I"ll be upgrading to Stella for the extra 40p!
The only downside to that I"ll be knocked out the comp & pissed for £8.80

I can"t imagine that Glasgow is short of places that will do us cheaper drinks....hmmm, this might call for some research.
The Horsehoe is too far of a stagger from the casino &/or my hotel.
I"m voting for the Scotia 2 minutes away. [ur=http://www.scotiabar.net/l]http://www.scotiabar.net/[/url]

No need to employ separate security to keep control of the punters - those girls look pretty rough.
Still not a sell out 29 seats to be sold on the day from 12pm first come first served so get down on Saturday fairly sharp!!
Yeah as far as am aware that"s the case! Could be an early start for you if you want that seat ! Gl
Capacity is 120, which means there will be between 20-25 seats available direct from the casino.
We will liaise with the cardroom staff when we get there on the Friday night, but usually in this situation, we will make them available on a first come first served basis from noon on the Saturday (That is unless the venue have allocated any seats in the meantime)
Once the 120 filled, we will run an alternates list for the first two levels (90 mins), where we normally get anything from 2-8 more players into the event.
Failing that, you can always hang around and register yourself for the 6max side event that is taking place on the Sunday.
Hope that all makes sense.

I can"t see it on 888 lobby anymore, is it full?
Any chance of getting my Silver medal before the game so i can use it as a card protector? Blatant brag obv :)
Plenty of other cheaper car parking around the merchant city area !

A little bird just told me you need an 888 account to play this...true?
IF there is a problem not having account I would rather not waste time and money on parking, travel, etc if I wont be allowed to play ( ok, I am taking a chance that a seat will be available, as there are about 20 spots ) but getting refused an open seat for no 888 account would be a nuisance

No-one will be checking live buy-ins to ensure they have accounts on the day...there are more importantdrinks to be drunkthings that will need attention.

Is it bragging to say you"re flying up? We"re flying as it"s cheaper than the train or by car! Do have to get up at stupid o clock tomorrow morning though so if i fall asleep at the table i apologise in advance!
It"s going be a hot one tomorrow in Glasgow!!! Let"s hope that the gala"s air con is working !! I don"t want to see one bit of sunshine from 2.30pm onwards :-)
Hi all,
Had a great time yesterday despite being over starting stack for only 3 hands in 8 hours. Never been so card dead. However hoping things will be different today. Could anyone let me know the details for the 6 max and if there is any seats left. GL to everyone still in today.

Think John announced yesterday reg for 6 max will be at 2pm for 3.30 start. £25 + reg fee buy in, 8k starting.
