One point to understand why did my £250 buy-in cost me £261.37? yes I know the dollar has gone south over the last week but it was advertised as a £250, I expect it will all go in the pot or Des will buy a round or three or a tip for Tighty.

Possibly one of the little discrepancies that will pop up with a new site, could be embarrassing for someone who only loads the buy-in and finds themselves screwed on the clickfest.

Looking forward to playing the whole season, because of work I ain"t going to get to Vegas but only once this year and that probably at the end of the year.

Come on Des do a season ticket for all the events I"d buy one tomorrow.

Good hunting all, have a great season.






Anybody who didn"t see this coming wants their head checked.

£261.39 for me. Hopefully going in to the pool as you say but if not it"s a bit of a bugger.

Maybe next time Des or Tighty could tell us beforehand how many dollars the comp"s going to cost?

I played in the SKY Poker event there last May and it is definately wear what you like within reason. Most were fairly well dressed in the eveing but the vast majority of players wore T-shirts and jeans, not sure about trainers but I would say no. It"s an excellent venue but beware that Wind Street closes between 7pm and 7am on Weds, Thurs, Fri and Sat due to the sheer number of pissed up punters about. It"s a bit like Beruit around 3am!!

Sorry for the confusion guys, the lobbies on both events had the $ buyin and we"ll ensure that is communicated for the next events.  All of the money goes to the casino, so the payouts will be slightly higher also.

OK I understand that this is just an issue of exchange rate fluctuation between the time when the tournament was advertised, and when it went on sale, and that has caused the converted buy in to be slightly higher than the GBP value advertised...... BUT.....


One point to understand why did my £250 buy-in cost me £261.37?



£261.39 for me.


....why the heck does it cost one person 2p more than another person?? Surely the exchange rate fluctuations aren"t applied by the split second?   I appreciate it"s only 2p, but even so....

not sure about trainers but I would say no.


I hope this isn"t the case because I only really own trainers, i"ve got some smart-ish ones for going out with but no shoes except the old funeral/wedding ones in the back of the cupboard that are a bit too fancy for jeans.

I played in the APAT European Championships in Luton in November and there were almost 200 runners.  It appears that there will not be anywhere near that number for this years nationals.  Is this because of the addition of the professional tournament and, if so and those tournaments do not fill up are there any plans for additional seats for the amateur events?  It seems the clickfest for Swansea yesterday had only 61 seats available.
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere on the forum.

It has, several times, and frankly, I can"t be bothered to re-type it all again.

Have a root around, you"ll find it.
