It"s great to have all the variations of side events, but it"s interesting to see that the biggest number of runners so far is for a NLHE event on a Tuesday afternoon.
Indeed.
I"m sure there are a number of factors at play here.
I know that we missed quite a few players to the Vic on Saturday as they had a 10k guarantee event on and they absolutely smashed it with a prizepool (I understand) of c.80k.
Of course, these variations aren"t seen very often anywhere on a regular basis, certainly not with the deep structures that APAT offers, and so arguably, the deep player pool isn"t there...at least as much as we might hope.
Another thing is,
and I know this is a concern to the PTB, APAT doesn"t really have a reliable medium to promote this to the
unknowing masses.
The forum caters to it"s existing player / user base. Facebook isn"t really the medium (forget Twitter) and it requires the user to know about APAT already and casinos don"t always promote in house although Aspers did run satellites for Main Event.
It"s a delicate operation and I"m not privy to the behind the scenes goings on...you would probably have more insight than me there Leigh.
It would be nice to find another robust medium to provide these updates in a structured linear fashion above, beyond and in addition to the forum with the same level of detail as I know we like but I haven"t found it yet.
