APAT Presents The PokerStars.com National Online League


Great news. Makes complete sense.


+1 and as many people already have an account it obviates the need to sign up to yet another site. Will Stars be sponsoring the Live Tour as well ?

We"re going to have to wait for that one.

Sorry for my "updaters nightmare" comment.

My memory must be failing me. Have been put right by the powers that be.

That only leaves.... Walsall FTW!!

Exactly my thinking. The fact that it used to sell out very fast on the clickfest, and i can remember lots of dissapointed people starting threads in the seat exchange, more so than any other venue iirc.

But as tighty said before. Coventry and DTD rep the midlands so fair enough

I wouldn"t exaggerate this. Redfern Walsall in 2009 was pre UKIPT, pre GPS, pre lots of things....the UK Poker landscape was very different. People had far less choice

I don"t think in this competitve environment that any venue we chose would see an instant sell out via click fest. We should sell out, but it will be gradual

Clickfests were also administratively complex, expensive in merchanting charges and I would think we are highly unlikely to see them return

Scene of the Running Man.  Legendary.  And the no"e" alchohol incident.  And Scouse"s outburst.  We"ve not had our finest hour in Walsall it has to be said.

Walsall 2007. Still have nightmares about it. I have nearly 50% of the chips in play going into the FT, and i manage to finish 4th. Some fish called Offless wins it. What"s he ever done since then..

Frack me....that was you!?

From what I can recall, through the mists of history and alcohol induced amnesia, you seemed determined to take everyone out which led to some...erm...rather loose calls which never worked out for you.

Or I could be thinking of someone else. I"m gonna have to find my old blog and look to see what, of anything, I said. I suspect, if I"m recalling correctly, I wasn"t complimentary.

EDIT:

FT..

Darren Shallis 944,000
Rich Offless 271,500
Andrew Tracey 271,000
Neil Walsh 142,000
Dan Bradbury 109,500
Brendan Duffy 92,000
Mike Young 90,000
Alan Armitage 82,000
Paul Davis 60,500

Quote

Once we make the FT, I"m really short but double up twice in a couple of hands thanks to AA and AK in good position. Then it"s a grind. One guy had 50% of the chips in play and was really the elephant at the table..however, he started donking them off trying to take people out.


Sorry Darren!
