We have pointed out to ISPT what the flaws are in their current logic and indeed a large number of our players have fed back directly also, at DTD.  You need to bear in mind that Stephen is in a somewhat similar position to ourselves in that he has a good deal of experience and he is trying to utilise that to improve the ISPT proposition.  Whether he achieves any improvements is to be determined, but I hope he does.

Now I don"t like to knock new initiatives, certainly not until I understand all of the details involved.  We"re clearly not at that position with ISPT yet.  APAT had plenty of knockers (oh err) when we first launched and we seem to have done just fine.  I understand the ridiculous rake charge includes contributions towards the use of Wembley stadium and the technical and security infrastructure, a lot of which will make this a completely unique event; a bit of a poker woodstock if you will. 

In addition the ISPT might bring a lot of new recreational players into the game.  It will almost certainly (based on my discussions) have a large guaranteed prize pool; which is likely to be across a number of events taking place, not just the main event. 

Ultimately...as always, players have the choice as to whether they want to play or not and sometimes I wonder why some allow themselves to get worked up over something they don"t intend to participate in.  Alan - remember your blood pressure! ;)

Either way, APAT has covered a decent percentage of our operational budget for the remainder of the year and that"s a good thing for us and for you.

That final remark gets them a lot of play in my book regardless of whether I think it will be a success or not.

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

However they are having a press conference on 3rd Sept, so maybe there will be answers to many questions then.


This didn"t happen.

Hopefully a sign that they are listening to feedback, but time will tell.

The rumour from 2+2 (from a generally solid source) "Spoke with someone prominent in French poker media, they said to expect the ISPT press conference to take place later this month at Wembley Stadium."

ISPT are a partner of APAT, so I think the sensible thing to do is to wait until the press conference, when they have already stated they will be dealing with the issue of the guarantee, etc. 



+1. I"m sure some of us have doubts but let"s keep the comments in proportions please.
