HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT APAT?
APAT found me!
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT APAT TOURNAMENTS, STANDARD OF PLAY AND STRUCTURE?
On the whole excellent events and a pretty decent standard. As for the structure, I would welcome the inclusion of a 150/300 level, even at the expense of the 75/150 if need be. I would also like to see antes introduced, to give it more of a "big tournament" feel and experience.
HAVE YOU PLAYED AT AN APAT LIVE EVENT AND IF SO, WHAT WAS MOST MEMORABLE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE?
Yes, Newcastle & Dublin... Memorable - the other two members of "The Witney (inc. Carterton) Mob" doing better than me... Rich Stevenson, 18th in Newcastle and Paul Townsend, 3rd in Dublin.
WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF POKER?
Family, Dogs and Golf.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK OR FILM?
Book - Not much of a reader, but Amarillo Slim In A World Of Fat People is a good read.
Film - Schindler"s List
WHAT THREE MUSIC ALBUMS WOULD YOU TAKE TO A DESERT ISLAND WITH YOU?
Crossroads - Tracy Chapman
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
Piece By Piece - Katie Melua
FINALLY, WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW APAT MEMBERS?
Don"t take it too seriously... enjoy the APAT tournaments... and if I push, Call, I"m probably bluffing!!
