It"s an APAT National. End of. Not an APAT Deep and Steep, APAT Turbo
p.s you"ll not be worrying about day 2 anyway. :-*
Open to locals, I assume?
Open to locals, I assume?
Yes. Expect 60 Brits and 120-150 total

Whats the addon for this? Bearing in mind, if a yank wins gonna be hard for them to play a UKIPT.. :)
UKIPT or equivalent value if a local player wins
NAPT for example
For those interested, indirect flights are about £400pp from London, £475pp from Glasgow and £415pp from Manchester.
Can I play? :o
I"m in and also Lee Smith (smythe89 on APAT, I believe).
Just something I remembered reading about Caesars (And I understand lots of poker rooms) regarding speech and phones etc etc.. That there are rules in these poker rooms that we may not be used to. Maybe someone who has played there recently can confirm, just so none of us fall foul of these rules.
I understand that speech play is not allowed in a hand, for example, cant sit there asking an opposing player, have you got a pair, do you want a caller etc.?
Also, mobile phone rules, I have heard that if you start playign with phones, dealer insta-mucks you?
Andy any others that we should be aware of.
Maybe someone can specifically get the Caesars rules that we as APAT players would not be used to, or, are APAT having APAT rules?

Wow feeling v. jealous now, must admit to the news making me very distracted at work, surfing airline web sites to see if my various FF miles can get me out there.
How to get time off work though, might be a series of WAH days (long distance) ;)

This tourney is before you are married so I think you"re safe.
Anyway, good call marrying a poker player, makes life easier/cheaper all round. (You will understand this once you meet my non poker playing wife)

If Rich isn"t allowed to play how are we going to ensure Amercian pros don"t?
Personnaly I think it should be an open event to remove the risk.

Don"t know why he asked though, Rich"ll never get up for 1pm!!!
Had kinda mentally given up on this ( apologies guys ) but really is suitably epic news. I can only imagine the jolt felt by our poor unfortunate non travelling Apat brothers and sisters.
Since I"m staying at Ceasars, I would like to complain about the ridiculous distance from my room to the cardroom. ::) It"s probably further than the hike from Aspers to the hellhole FrankieB booked for me in Swansea ;D ;D
Oh and lest I forget, IN

Del, you must know you dont walk on the road in Vegas.A man like you with all that money.Get a taxi.
Wait; isn"t there a free shuttle between CET properties?

Or cross road to mirage, turn left,then right.

Sorry....walk south down to the Flamingo and cross the road or keep going down to Bills and take the bridge.
Best route:
Stop off at Imperial Palace for a pitcher of coors lite.
Move forward to O"Sheas for some Guinness and beer pong.
Quick 10 hands of blackjack in the Flamingo with a $1 bottle of bud,
Stop off for a rest at Bills while listening to fake Elvis and enjoy a bottle of corona.
Take the escalator across the street.
Stop off at the open air bar for a draft pint.
Enter ceasars, turn tight for poker room.
Hope that helps. :D

Surely, walking travel tips are impossible, how will you know where you are setting off from ;D
P.S. Don, I"ve forgotten now with Paulie"s interuption. Was it Left then right or vice versa?
UKIPT or equivalent value if a local player wins
NAPT for example
This is an odd one and we"re going to add $500 to the prize pool, in place of any add on seat. APAT will pay the cardroom in advance of the event.

Cheers Des.
...and early reg?
When: Saturday 19th November and Sunday 20th November 2011
Where: Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel and Casino
Start: 1pm local both days
Buy In: $120 NLHE Freezeout with the APAT National structure
APAT Members will pay $135 on the day to include all dealers tips, cocktail waitress service etc
APAT will pay the registration fee for APAT members travelling across
Des Duffy will be your APAT host for the two days
As APAT needs to fund the registration fees in advance, the next step is for all of the APAT travellers going across to confirm they wish to play.
Please do so on this thread.
Many thanks to Jim"ll fix it for being Go-between. Many thanks to Caesars Palace for hosting.
The tournament is about to commence, good luck to you all.....
Delighted that Des is attending but won"t be the same without Tighty.
I completely agree.....I"ll chip in towards a flight & more.
Call it a "thank you" to Tighty for all the hard work from the membership.
Don"t let Tighty be bashful and let"s bully him into it.

F*cking right - and do it quick,
Direct - £590 BA between 17th and 22nd Nov or £570 Virgin between 16th Nov and 22nd Nov.
Indirect - £355 US Airways (caveat is that the outgoing flight is 2 changes, return is bog-standard one change) Looking at over £450 for a one change both ways flight.

Although it"s a worthy ambition my impression was that Tighty doesn"t want to just jet there and back and work all weekend.
For it to "work" it"d have to involve an actual restful holiday and that"d be maybe a couple of grand - that might be a little ambitious

I"m in and also Lee Smith (smythe89 on APAT, I believe).
I very much agree with the "support tighty to go" theme also. It"s definitely his gig and I"ve been asking him to go for months. APAT would be paying his travel and hotel expenses, so its very much with the man himself and if he confirms his intention to go, we"ll let you all know tomorrow or Tuesday.

I"m sure Tighty will not need any beer money as we all each owe him more than 1.

Frankly...that"s all done with what we have already....assuming Richard wants to partake
Thursday & Friday - already planned
Saturday & Sunday - APAT duties
Monday - Wedding & JAPAT
Tuesday - He"s due to fly back...AFAIK.
If Richard is staying longer...then I can plan "on the fly" as it were.

By sheer coincidence, the APAT Vegas trip coincides with a a Vegas trip 3 of my mates and I are going on.
Since I"m not on the APAT trip, is it still OK if I play in this?
I (Chris Baylis) have played a few APAT events in the past including two team events for EatMyStack (inc Luton last month), a couple of national events and some of the old regional events at Luton in the earlier seasons when those ran.

Absolutely no problem.
Great news about The Tight One.
Wouldn"t bean APATpoker event if he was not there making it look really easy to run one of these things whilst doing about three other things at the same time.
I of course completely concur with ensuring he is not seen to be putting his hand in his pocket for the entire event.

In all fairness, most people booked Vegas thinking an APAT would not even happen, and, were just gonna go to make a holiday in a great place.. I personally never made an APAT torunament my reason for going there, in fact when I booked a few weeks ago, I was convinced there would NOT be an APAT tournament.
