S8 Live Tour Discussion Thread

Would love to see Mix Max and also triple stud, would prefer triple stud to the regular stud event

[IrishTom]

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

For Bristol we will stop at 00:30 after Level 12 (including 2 x 15 min and 1 x 30 min dinner break) - which will allow a little time for socialising! - to return for Day 2 on Sunday starting earlier than normal at 12:00

Will this be adopted for the rest of the season? (hope so)

That"s the plan guys - just need to see how Bristol goes first before confirming it

[ayresi]

Hi guys. So I"ve read all the season 8 threads for the live tour and online legs, including info on the main event blind structures and leaderboard prizes. I"m a bit of a nerd when it comes to studying the offerings of the various uk tours and I have to say that I am very very impressed with your schedule. Great spread of events at affordable prices! You have a knack of listening to the people that are going to be playing these events and make good adjustments.

I am looking to play Luton next month, all of WCOAP and all forthcoming online legs in an attempt to win the Vegas trip. Can you give a breakdown of what the trip comprises? Also, any ideas when WCOAP schedule will be released?

PS I echo the request of a previous poster to include in WCOAP a 2/7 Triple Draw event, or even Badugi! The 10-game bracelet event this year was heaps more fun than the 8-game because of these games. Also, it"s easier to train dealers in these games compared to more complicated hi-low variants...

Again, keep up the good work!!

Hi Haresh, thanks for your comments.  The Las Vegas trip hasn"t yet been confirmed, but going on previous years, it would be early Jun, Wed to Wed with return flights from Manchester and shared twin-room accommodation - you would be able to pay extra to bring someone along with you to share the room - and it has also had entry to an exclusive freeroll where the winners gain a seat in a WSOP bracelet event - but as said, nothing confirmed for 2015 yet and I don"t expect to confirm the exact dates and details until early 2015.

Regarding the WCOAP schedule, I"ve just started putting this together and will be fine-tuning it over the weekend before getting feedback from APAT Management and then looking to put a draft on the forum for member feedback in September - with a view to finalising all with Aspers London asap and then officially publishing hopefully by end Oct.

I"ve not played an APAT event since the team champs at Luton last year.

Can"t wait to play all of the events at Luton and put some dead money in the prize pool.

Looking forward to seeing some faces.

I have not played in an APAT event since season 2 but have decided to go for Luton.

Irish gate - I know none of you wish to continue the discussion but I don"t mind who I offend.  I think the assumption that PLO is popular in Ireland is probably based upon the widespread belief in the UK that Ireland is basically like some backward, isolated community in Britain 50 years ago, but more ****.

I hate Omaha, I am no good at it.  However the last time I played a round of PLO8 in a dealers choice game I won a load of dosh.  I still don"t know why.  It may have just been my turn as I have always lost whenever I played before, is that how poker works? I am tempted to go remembering that last experience but it would be good to know there would be either NLHE OR PLHE cash or tournaments for those of us who have sweetened the pot with dead money in the main event.  I certainly don"t want to buy a plane ticket and hotel rooms to end up playing an hour of poker and then have to watch.

Welsh gate - humiliating that the Welsh leg will not be held in Wales, however I would like to correct all those that think the Brizzle is in England.  It bearly counts, they speak even funnier than they do in South Wales.  It seems only fair that the welsh should have to pay a toll for crossing the river to play in their own event, is there a way we can make them play double?

Hi Paul, I can confirm that there will be NLH Side and NLH Cash Games over the weekend in Ireland.
