S8 Live Tour Discussion Thread

Just a quick one. Any news on direct buy ins on Coral yet?

[mporter123]

Yes I agree - tbh I"m not yet 100% sure we will continue with the Cash Tournament - that will be decided this week and if need be, the Bristol weekend changed accordingly - if we didn"t have the Cash Tournament on a Fri evening, I"d be interested in players" views to what they would like to see replace it and 2 what would attract them to attend on a Fri evening - of course I"m not adverse to simply tagging onto something that the venue will be running - means I could play and have a "quiet one"!

My preference for the Friday night would be something like a £30-£40 freezeout. APAT bounties on well known players selected pre tournament. Added value of a London side event seat + Coral bits for the winner. Hoodies for all at the final table. Ranking points included.

Basically the casino comp but with some APAT extras. Ranking points will encourage a fair few extra I would think. If that sort of tournament was guaranteed to run on the Friday night, I would make more effort.

As it is, it"s usually the casino comp where the structure, buyin, runners, etc is usually fairly unknown until you turn up so not worth risking.

Friday nights (IMO) should be more about the social, fun, side of an APAT event...a mini-ME is, erm, waaay too serious....

I"m not sure any APAT tournament is that serious anyway is it  

Just think a fun £30 freeze with some APAT"ized bits would go over well.

A Blind Mans Bluff tournament!

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I can"t find it anywhere.

Please could you tell me what the side event will be for the Luton champs in Sep. Thanks

Don"t think it"s been announced yet...my bet is that it will be PLO though.

[Slim Chance]

OK Thanks.
Do you have any rough idea of when it will be announced?
Obviously it helps if booking hotel as cheaper in advance. Thanks.

Probably not until after Bristol would be my guess.

Tom's away at the moment but you could PM him and I"m sure he"ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Does anyone know what time the main event next Saturday will finish for the day?

It"s usually around the 1 - 2 am area....if that"s any help.

Do we have a rough guide to what we will see in the WCOAP this year?

I played most of the events last year, and just a couple of points id like to raise.

1) Start Times - could they be earlier? ie 12am, this gives an extra 2 hrs for people to bust and then jump into the later game that evening.

2) 3 Day 1 flights - with scheduling this should also allow those that wanna play PLO and PLO8 to still be able to play the Main, on which ever day it doesnt clash

3) OFC - Yes i go on about it, but after getting back from Vegas its amazing to see how the game is taking off.  Its a great game, easy to run and i think would be a huge success

4) Mix Max Tournament.  Even if played as a 1 day event, you could run it as 9/10 handed until 36 left, 6 handed until 8 left and then HU there on in.

5) Other mixed games....we have the NLH/PLO ROE, why not try a PLO8/Stud8 or something similar....??

That would be nice.

Triple Stud - ie Stud, Stud Hi-Lo & Razz.
