If it"s friendly and higher than normal quality games you"re looking for Davey, you"re at the right place :)

See the APAT main website at www.apat.com or go straight to our schedule of events at www.apat.com/index.php/apat-tour-schedule/  where you"ll see a range of Online games that we run on BlueSq (our main sponsor), online Satellites to our Live National Events and details (including structures etc.) of the Live Nationals themselves.

Good to have you on board. Feel free to post a little about yourself at http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=126.0

Oh, and don"t worry about not being very bright ... :)

You need photograpic ID to join.

Lots of other tournaments around London.

What level of buy-in are you looking to play?

i play online poker at skypoker.com and they have never used the word freezeout on their tournys. what does that mean when they say - £30 Extreme Stack Freezeout

Please excuse me as this does sound like a dumb question but hey you wont learn if you dont ask

It means that once you lose your chips you are out - as opposed to a re-buy when you can buy another set of chips.

Extreme Stack - just that you start with a large stack. (6000 for that event).

Generally I would say good players at the International.

I think the Loose Cannon club has re-opened.

Not clear from the website though!
