Post by: Matt D on March 21, 2014, 16:59:40 PM: Aye Steve, it"s certainly going out with a bang!

Quick update: Have just had it confirmed that the max. capacity for these tourneys is indeed 5,000 players. Have updated this info in the OP.

Hopefully as well as. I"ve a copy of the database so know everyone"s FPP count. I"ve posted on other thread a couple of times re: FPPs: http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=15216.0

With Boss Media closing the IPN (International Poker Network) at the end of May, and us leaving the network shortly before that (1st May)

These freerolls start on 2nd May, the day after Apat"s proposed departure date ?

Is that correct?

Post by: avongirl on March 26, 2014, 00:07:04 AM: Couple of questions please...

Raked Hand - does this have to be on cash tables (and any particular ones?) or do tournament/STT fees count?

What happens if the Bad Beat Jackpot is won before the freerolls run?
Title:
Post by: Matt D on March 26, 2014, 10:02:17 AM: An MTT/STT entry counts as 1 raked hand.

The bad beat jackpot has been taken down, so it can"t be won.

Post by: Matt D on April 01, 2014, 16:09:26 PM: Quick reminder that the first of these is tomorrow.

Registration opens at 4pm tomorrow, with the game starting at 8pm. I have no way of telling, but I predict this will sell out very quickly (5,000 runners). Therefore I"d recommend getting regged ASAP if you want to play.

Thanks Matt, may save a futile dash home.

Post by: redsimon on April 02, 2014, 16:15:10 PM: Checked on playerzone. I raked 14 cents Feb 2014. Is it minimum of 1 euro raked rather than one hand?

Title:
Post by: Matt D on April 02, 2014, 16:36:10 PM: Registration has been open for just over 30 mins, and there"s already a massive 2,564 registered... Increasing by 1 or 2 every second. I think you"ll have to be really quick to get in this game.
Title:
Post by: Matt D on April 02, 2014, 16:41:49 PM: Those who can"t register but have played 1 or more raked hands. Please keep trying. It should let you in eventually.

Post by: Sugar_Free on April 02, 2014, 18:25:33 PM: Can"t believe this, it"s closing down next month but it still had to install an update.

Now waiting for all my bank accounts to disappear.
Title:
Post by: Matt D on April 02, 2014, 18:52:40 PM: < 200 spaces.... It"s now or never people! :)

I"ve noticed a lot of people are clearly multi-accounting here (and have been stupid enough to register with almost identical names - e.g. zozo66, zozo666 and zozo6666).

Boss have stated that anyone multi-accounting will have any winnings withheld from them. (would obv. be better if they stopped them registering in the first place!).

1 player stupidly unregistered and another took his place. It"s possible that could happen again in the next 20 or so minutes.
Title:
Post by: Matt D on April 02, 2014, 19:40:39 PM: Someone else unregistered. 1 place left!. Edit: Taken just as I posted that.

I reckon if you keep you eyes peeled you might get in.

Post by: MintTrav on April 02, 2014, 19:59:39 PM: Very annoying not to be allowed to play cos you have a job, when you have contributed at least your fair share to this prize-pool.

Is Zozzy going to be banned from APAT as well for doing this?

Actually, there aren"t a lot multi-accounting as I first thought. There seems to be only a few.

I can assure you it isn"t me. In fact I forgot all about these freerolls until now so I didn"t even get to enter once :(

Post by: MintTrav on April 02, 2014, 20:26:00 PM: Makes me feel better to see people posting on other sites about registering and playing one hand so they could take part in this (and play for our money). I am one of the few who has always liked playing on BOSS, but it"s a sour note for them to go out on.

Post by: Matt D on April 02, 2014, 20:45:41 PM: It would appear exactly 100 APAT/PCUK players registered for this game, so we represent 1/50th of the field.

Early doors, APAT player, XRicayBoyX is up to 8th spot... Going to have a quick scan to see where others lie...

Why not play this game alongside? http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=15282.msg229472#msg229472
Title:
Post by: Matt D on April 09, 2014, 16:21:41 PM: Update: Registration seems to be filling *much* quicker this week!.

p.s. if you get an error message, keep pressing "Register" until it accepts you. Just took me 20 attempts, but I got in eventually.

2618 players regged with just 21 minutes gone...

Post by: Matt D on April 09, 2014, 17:56:54 PM: All sold out now... Though, all is not lost! Last week some silly people unregged, leaving 1 space left at various points...

There"s always our special private MTT tonight instead! :D http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=15282.msg229472#msg229472
Title:
Post by: AMRN on April 09, 2014, 19:03:07 PM: Yay - caught an earlier train back from London so I could play this freebie tonight, but still can"t get in as sold out early.

So glad Boss are putting this value back in - shame they don"t give the opportunity to us loyal customers that go out to work. Perhaps open registration in advance to give us all a chance?
Title:
Post by: Matt D on April 09, 2014, 19:22:09 PM: argh :(

Yes, totally agree with you. Opening reg. at 8pm the night before, or delaying it until 6pm on the night of the freeroll would seem fairer.

But, this is Boss, and they do things a little differently...

Still, as you say, it"s good that they are redistributing the cash, when it would have been fairly easy not to.
Title:
Post by: Scousebill on April 09, 2014, 22:22:14 PM: >:(
Not far off the free money.... 1264...

Obviously a flopped A-5 straight is not good enough for a raise then 20k all-in called by K-6 then a 3 hits the river....

To give the 45K pot to a 6 high straight...

Who then comments about just dumping chips but may as well carry on playing.

Post by: reevio on April 24, 2014, 17:13:45 PM: Ha - I can imagine it did look pretty silly. I noticed from a couple of hundred players out that pretty much everyone was clinging on by their fingernails for every jump in money and didn"t want to play a hand. Therefore I was struggling to let a hand go by without raising as it was so likely to get through and the returns were massive every time.

Obv got lucky a few times but fancied my chances with the negative play of everyone else - guess I had to run into a hand eventually! :)
Title:
Post by: ian.ski309 on May 01, 2014, 00:42:45 AM: Didn"t recognise any other APATers playing the last of these freerolls tonight. Finished 36/5000 for 87.50 euros, very card dead for the last hour or so but better than nothing.
Title:
Post by: suzanne on May 01, 2014, 15:04:03 PM: I went out quite early last night, table was full of sitouts except me and two others. One guy was shoving EVERY hand so eventually called with AJ v 56 and he hit..very annoying. The muppet went out around 3000th tho so someone got a nice donation.

I got 65 euros in total over the month so cant grumble.
