so 4 more days until the cardiff leg of the tour, talk about excited.

As somebody who is yet to play an APAT national, i feel like a kid at christmas. There aint many opportunities to play 2 day events for me so i will do my best to take advantage of this.

Just a couple of questions, i want to try and come as best preared as i can, so if any of you posters could tell me how mnay chips you start with and what kind of clock you play on, i would greatly appreciate ip.

Tar

this is really wierd. I"ve been playing online for around 4 years and live for about a year, and have played some pretty decent tourneys along the way........ BUT, I can"t sleep at night right now cos I"m so excited about Saturday. The chance to play a 2 day deep stack game - feels like I"m off to en EPT event.   Am loving APAT right now.

Bring it on!!!

You"ll have a great time, friendly people and some good banter.  ;D

It"s going to be a strange weekend for Caz and I, as it"s the first national event in 12 months that we"ve missed.  :(  Hopefully we"ll get to the European event though  8)

We"ll just have to keep up to date via the live updates this weekend, sigh.

I feel for you guys who didn"t make. I thought my days were numbered after bubbling at the regional in Luton  :o but I managed to win a seat on the Sunday night Blue Square satellite ;D

this is also my 1st 2 day tourney and I can"t wait, just hope I'm in for both days :-\

I"m sure you"ll have a great time. My first tourney was Luton and then Manchester in 2007 and it was GREAT!!!! (even though best I could do was 40 something). People are great and it"s really well organised.

Can"t make Cardiff but am looking forward to being back asap.

ENJOY!!!!!

You will all enjoy it.  Plenty of time to play poker rather than shove and hope.  Only around 10-15 per cent of the field have gone by the dinner break.  Feel free to say hi (Bald git in baseball cap and full tilt shirt)

..... and if you"re wearing a baseball cap, how will we know you"re a bald git?

If anyone want"s to say hi, I will be the bald git without a baseball cap.

Played three sit and gos last night with Glenn, Karen, Geo, Andrew T, Paul Garnham, Chris (Kem), Kizi and a few others and managed to cash in all three! The winnings just about covered my bar bill! I had to warm up ready for the Duke"s arrival! There was another bloke who turned up late claiming to have had a bit of a journey.  He wasn"t much good, can"t see him ever winning an APAT event :D
