ROE = Round of Each, so the tournament will go round of NLHE, round of PLO etc etc


Mix Max starts 9 handed, then at 36 players goes 6 handed, then at 18 players, you play heads up (Biggest stack vs lowest stack and so on), then the final 9 play the final table to a winner.

OK brilliant thank you  -  is it likely to be OK to turn up and pay and play or do they tend to reach the limit early, or can you buy a seat for Thursday and Friday when you pay into the HORSE on the Wednesday?  not sure if you know these things, but thought I would ask  cheers

Hey Brian, we really have no way of knowing, so I wouldn't take the chance and say turn up and pay... I'd recommend be safe and buy in via the Grosvenor Online Holding Tank, or reserve a seat via APAT Eventbrite to be safe.

The Cash Game Championship... is that you get £60 of cash chips and you play for 180mins and keep whatever (if any) you have left?

Hi Ash, not quite... you buy in for £50 min cash chips plus £10 'tournament fee' (plus reg fee)... you play as usual with the cash chips, and the 'tournament element' of the event is the £10 per player which goes to the winner/runner up of the final table, which will be the top 'cash chip stacks' at the end of the first phase...

Looking forward to coming along for the Main Event and - hopefully - HORSE. Will there be any car parking offers similar to those at previous WCOAPs held in Stratford?

The Grosvenor in Bury Road, Manchester has it's own free car park.

Grosvenor BNR has ample free parking... around 120 bays immediately outside the main entrance, plus around 60 additional bays in an overflow car park at the opposite end of the casino building - you can also park on the main road (Ramsgate Street).

Quick question - if I enter a bunch of events, but then make Day 2 of one of them (wishful thinking!), can I get a refund on the event I can no longer play?

Excited! Train and hotel booked!

Hi Joe, we posted earlier on this thread HERE about being able to multi-table during WCOAP if you make Day 2 of an event...

But yes, if you prefer, we can withdraw you from an event if you have made a Day 2 that clashes...

Hi Tom

May seem a silly question.

I take it anyone who buys in online for the high roller and then plays the live high roller satellite at the Casino will get a refund if they qualify through the satellite.

As someone who stopped playing poker last year after 16 years, I will make a few observations. I hope they are not considered too negative but for a start I will give the reasons I have never played an APAT event. A seat is not guaranteed unless you reserve one in advance, and then the reserve deposit is lost, not considered part of the buy in.

I love the old games rather than NLHE all the time, in fact I came to hate the game. So for me there would never be enough stud and omaha type games to make it worthwhile a few days overnight stay to play the APAT. The only place that now does those games is the WSOP - perhaps a trip to the WSOP if ever I get off my arse and inspired enough to play again and donk off £10-15k. I know that's a lot more than a few quid to reserve an APAT seat but I consider that deposit money being lost to be a bit of an insult.

The APAT was sometimes tempting but it just never had enough of those alternative games (not the dreaded open face thing) to break through my increasing apathy. APAT is a very commendable thing, and I hope you keep going, but I also hope you broaden the appeal with a few more stud or omaha type games, not fewer. I know that's the way it's gone, and that's the way it will keep going. God I hate holdem.

So the 8 game would be the 5 games in horse, plus Nl Holdem, PLO and 2-7 limit triple draw yes?

If it's not in Scotland you can forget it!
