S8 Live Tour Discussion Thread

I can confirm that the guidance given HERE will be effective from Season 8 English APC in Luton onwards.

Really looking forward to Luton. I"ve managed to get together some friends from Swansea University Poker Society"s alumni, most of whom have never played an APAT event. Can"t wait til the cards are in the air!

Yay looking forward to Luton, even though I missed the holding tank deposit doh doh doh should be good fun and really looking forward to the team game in November. Sorry to say I cant do the splits at the minute so will have to find a new party trick in case I get short stacked

There are still seats there at the moment I think. I reserved one this morning.

Hi Kev, yes we have increased the Eventbrite seat capacity so you should be able to use it now.

Ty for the replies, will get them done later

A few questions. I"m a Luton regular but never played an APAT event before. If I reserve a seat for the main event at £5 is this part of the £75+7.50  buy in or is it an addition and lost, therefore the buy in will cost £87.50?

If I turn up on the day without reserving a seat how many seats are available on the day? If it looks like I won"t get a seat I may skip the main event and just do the Omaha which looks great although a little on the cheap side.

I am registered as APAT although have never played an APAT event, so I presume my G Casino membership card is enough for I.D. Is this correct?

Cheers.

The £5 is in addition to the buy-in+fee

We won"t know the number of seats as these will depend on how many turn up (who have prepaid & registered) and how many bust-outs there are.

Alternates will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis. I"d get there early...there are usually a number who get in as alternates.

Yep, you"re good.

Paulie - I can"t find the link for the Eventbrite for the OHL. I know I"m being an idiot, but can you post here?

Thanks!

See you on Saturday!

Joe, presuming OHL = the Omaha High Low on Sunday in Luton, there is no facility to reserve a seat for side events - just the Main Event via Eventbrite.

OK. Thanks!

Hi guys

Are we having a separate thread for this? There are a few comments on the S8 thread but Bristol had its own thread. There is the player briefing but we can"t comment there!

I have a question, I think the brief says "smart casual"? Previous experience of Luton G says they are obsessive over footwear and only shoes are allowed, no trainers of any kind, converse etc. is that still the case? If so it would be well worth highlighting to anyone who hasn"t been

Hi JP, Player Briefing for Luton HERE directs players to this Season 8 Discussion Thread to discuss Luton.

Within the Player Briefing it states "Smart Casual dress is required" - that I had confirmed by my poc in the Poker Room - but thank you for the heads up regarding footware and I"ll send them an email now just to ask/confirm - I"ll copy your post to this Discussion Thead (and the answer) - and update the Player Briefing if needed.

Cheers/Tom
