Yes, I noticed you were playing last night... rather untimely exit! Unlucky.
-
Yup..bad exit, bad play on my part was doing real well, AQ v AJ and he hit the J
-
im going to enter the free roll what is the festival like it looks good.woulod love to play in it as i would also love to play in a apat event can anybody go to a reginal game to try qualify for a main event?or is it sats all the way?i really want to play in a apat live event

Hi 2make1whole,
The next APAT event is the European Championship. No regional qualifiers are planned, there are online satellite qualifiers planned tho for the 16th and 17th of February on Blue Square, failing that the "clickfest" sale of tickets is 18th February. More updates and information will be on the forum shortly.
-
No chance of me qualifying via any event on Blue Square, that site hates me. I find it difficult to win a hand let alone a tourney. Last night I thought I would make a real attempt to build my BSQ bank roll, pair 3s in the hole, 4 limpers I raise 3xbb and hit a 3 on the flop, 3 limpers, all in from me, 2 fold, big blind calls and hits his flush when the fourth spade lands on the river! Oh well back to the cash machine!

That"s lucky then... all the satellites are on Virgin! :D
-
Oh I"ve a chance then LOL
-
Normally I"d have little chance of qualifying but in this case I have NO chance of qualifying.
My 3 Boss media accounts and therefore subsequent ban from virgin has seen to that. >:( :( :"(
Sounds like great fun. Good luck to all going

you got banned for having 3 accounts, why? ( i have 4 )

i think i have 3 as well...
-

ban is a bit over dramatic. I was unable to open a virgin account and when i phoned them they told me i already had 3 boss media accounts.
I"m thinking that it may be the email address that flagged it up so may try again with a different email address

Bit gutted.
Finished on the bubble in last nights tournament. 3 hours of relatively good play and my reward is to get my money back! So close, yet so far! Hopefully will have some better luck next week!

Qualified tonight also.
Does anyone know when we get any confirmation or details??
-
OK.....You can only register on 3 boss media sites from 1 pc..... however you can have as many boss media accounts as you like if you register elsewhere.
I have 12 accounts on various boss media sites and im sure ill have plenty more.
So those of you who cannot register because of the 3 registrations per pc rule, get over to a mates house/diff pc, download and sign up, then log in....once your logged in, you can then log out and log in on any pc you want.
See you all in Newcastle!

I qualified about 2 weeks ago and received an email a few days later which said, "You will receive full information about the event in the next couple of weeks."
You"re asked to send them confirmation of attendance, mobile phone number where you can be contacted and additional email addresses you have (if any).
I"ve still not received the "full information" they"re on about, but I"d imagine it"ll be out soon enough.
Well done qualifying!!! :)
-
Missed out by 2 places yesterday. 9 qualified came 11th. Oh well try again next week.
-
Hi, managed to qualify from last nights freezeout. The 3rd attempt. (user name - nabucco).
Does anyone know if other poker events are held as part of festival that you can buy into when your there. In case I get knocked out early or if friends come along who aren"t in main event.
Can"t make the APAT euro so this makes up for it. Look forward to seeing familiar faces in Newcastle.
