lol @ 10 seconds to act. Some of the idiots playing live take more than 10 seconds to realise its their turn to act.


lol!!

did anyone see the World Speed Poker Open a few years ago? 15 seconds to act - and a damned good game. Suited the internet players perfectly - but also showed that the big pro names who are generally dwellers were actually able to act and make decent decisions in a much shorter space of time.

30 seconds to act with a couple of 1 minute time bank chips would be awesome IMO.

I think we"re slightly just a tad getting away from what"s reasonably practicable given APAT's budget and resources, and that it"s probably not possible to do this live anyway.

APAT Structure in seasons 1-2 was a 40 minute clock, moved to 45 minutes. A very popular move for Season 3

Unikely we"d move to a shorter clock. Some changes to the structure around levels and antes are being worked on. Indeed I sent a new structure to my colleagues today, and they would lead to the money being achieved earlier than 4pm Sunday ish, all things being equal


Aside - was there any noticeable difference in the play?

Off the current topic, not sure if the question has been asked already.  Are there any plans in place to deliver the APAT Magazine again in Season 5.  The first issue was a great delivery but sadly no further issues were seen.

Not especially. In both structures the same pinch points...post dinner day 1, last two levels of day 1, final level pre final were seen

Completely standard


Got a few tricks up our sleeve for season 5 though that will need some adapting in play to be successful in APATs.

Tighty decides the rules before each hand is dealt?

I would love to do this again.  There was quite a big time committment to produce, but definitely one or two a season should be the target.

One of my ambitions for the upcoming season is to take part in a Tighty Sit and Go. I"ve heard the legends but have yet to experience it first hand!

It"s a case of crossing his palm with silver.

And then whilst you play the Sit and Go, he will also predict your poker future for you.  Not bad ?

Any chance of having a tournament where we don"t have a long journey?

London has been the only one anywhere near the South and that is halfway to the Midlands from here anyway.

Or compromise with a second one in London instead of going to some no-mans-land like Walsall or Bolton.
