The APAT Online Series at PokerStars will conclude with the five event, World Championship Of Amateur Poker festival.
The events are scheduled as follows:-
Saturday, August 4th, 8pm BST / 3pm ET
APAT WCOAP - Pot Limit Omaha Championship
2,500 Chips
$20 + $2
Sunday, August 5th, 8pm BST / 3pm ET
APAT WCOAP - Limit 7 Card Stud Championship
2,500 Chips
$20 + $2
Wednesday, August 8th, 8pm BST / 3pm ET
APAT WCOAP - Limit Razz Championship
2,500 Chips
$20 + $2
Saturday, August 11th, 8pm BST / 3pm ET
APAT WCOAP - No Limit Texas Hold'em Heads Up Championship
2,500 Chips
$20 + $2
Sunday, August 12th, 6pm BST / 1pm ET
APAT WCOAP Main Event - No Limit Texas Hold'em World Championship
5,000 Chips
$50 + $5
With 225 points available across all 5 events, the WCOAP will almost certainly have a significant bearing on the final ranking positions and possibly even determine which player wins the expenses paid entry to the PokerStars.com Caribbean Adventure event.
In addition, the top three in each event will secure Gold, Silver or Bronze medals, as shown below by Irish Amateur Champion Jacques Kieft.

As we seek to find our online poker variant Champions and World Champion, let"s keep up the incredible competitive spirit and good humour throughout the week. This is an oustanding feature of the live and online tournament series, and almost unique to APAT.
The events will appear on the PokerStars client from early next week, under the Tourney / Special tab. If you are not seeing all of the games, please ensure your PokerStars client filter is cleared, to display all games, and not just Texas Hold'em.
Good luck.

Lets hope for a decent turnout in all events and not just the holdem events, also is it the same starting chips in each event? Cheers Chris

Inevitably the non hold"em variants will not have a couple of hundred runners each, but these are likely to become quite intense affairs fought over by specialists and players looking to move up the rankings. I think it will be fascinating to see smaller fields in some of these events, if that does turn out to be the case.
Chipstack information is shown above.
-
thatll teach me to pay attention to detail lol, sorry for asking a stupid question. I know the non holdem events will feature smaller fields but it would be nice to see everyone that plays the holdem events trying out games that they wouldnt normally
-
I only play Holdem, but I will be playing all the games. I have got out of a birthday party to play the Omaha. I hope I get lucky in these games. What kind of fields do you think will play 30, 50, 100?
-
just gotta work ma way through both super systems before then now ???
-
How do you play Omaha, Stud, Razz?
??? ??? ???

I have just noticed that Pokerstars has the APAT NLHE World Amateur Poker Open down for the 4/8/2007, instead of the listed PL Omaha highlighted above? Is this just an error or are we looking at a change to the scheduled tourneys?
I also expected the Omaha to be limit Omaha H/L as per the "H.O.R.S.E." format, but i suppose PL Omaha is the preferred european game and i also believe that Ironside is a master at it-so fair enough!?
Can the actual online tourney formats & dates be checked and confirmed and of course i will not mention the next live venue & dates as everyone is putting the APAT team under undue pressure for that info!? Cough.....sorry-lump in my throat!?
::)

I had seen that PokerStars had put that up and it should be corrected tomorrow.
It isn"t a pressure to be involved with APAT, it is a pleasure. We know everyone is keen to firm plans for the next event and as soon as we can post the update, we will.
-
How do you play Omaha, Stud, Razz?
??? ??? ???
If you"ve never played them before then FT do them all on freeplay and maybe pokerstars too. That will give you an idea of how to play the game. AS far as how to win? Just buy in and watch the experts take your chips ;D
Seriously though, it is worth learning other games (RAZZ is particularly easy to pick up). Like you I prefer HE but do like to change games every now and then, especially when I"m running bad. (quite often then).
Good luck to everyone in the WCOAP. I"ll be in Italy on holiday so have to miss out
-
Looking forward to this series of events... Do not have a clue about Razz, so on a crash course.....Any one fancy pm"ing me basic rules then feel free.....
All of the others are almost certainly a definite entry.......
I am going to put a bounty (free drink(and not a Loius viii brandy)) on Ironsides head in the Omaha tourney.....Got to get him b4 the money though...LOL
-
Fair looking forward to these tournaments. I love all of them and Razz im addicted to lately so looking forward, particularly to that one.
Cheers
Mary
-
I have really enjoyed learning and playing these games recently and like many others i am looking forward to pitting my new learnt skills against fellow APAT members!? It will be interesting to see how many members support these different poker variants as a precursor to possibly mixing a few into season 2"s online diary? Anyone have any comments/opinions on seeing more of these poker variants added to the APAT online timetable in the future?
-
Yeah totally agree, it would be great to see possibly a rotation of different games or even 3 holdem events a month plus one different variant. Its important to remember that poker doesnt end with No limit holdem, a horse event would be great for next year
-
If I"m playing the Razz one, I don"t want Jon on my table.
-
If I"m playing the Razz one, I don"t want Jon on my table.
Likewise, I"m trying to avoid the fishy calls early on
-
Do you think Jon will play online wearing his lucky hat.
-
That"s only for when I really need the luck, with Kinfishy playing luck shouldn"t be needed :)

My boss has just told me that I have to go and work in Luxemburg; from 5th August till the 10th meaning I will miss 2 WCOAP. After telling him NO he replied it's not up for negotiation and my job is on the line. What do I do?
a) Go to Luxemburg, work for 5 day's, get paid, pay my mortgage, pay my bills, put food on the table
b) Stay at home, get fired but play in the 2 games, win them both get 18 points, win the Caribbean trip, win the WPT/EPT WIN $1,000,000

Ask you boss to hire out a wifi enabled laptop for you for the week, go to Luxemburg, score the points, win the million.
Do not under any circumstances, lose your job. That is -EV.
-
The WCOAP events are up on the PokerStars client now, so registration can begin.
-
I will be on my holidays too so i will miss most of the games but i will be back in time for the heads up and the big one at the end. Its been a great first season and i shall miss it during the close. Roll on next season. :)
-
Great to see the "minority" events getting a look in.
Will there be a table for the Festival events, so their is an overall player of the WCOAP festival?
Just an excellent idea to squeeze out an extra prize from APAT/Pokerstars?
-
What about a Champion of champions event? All the champions of the online and the live events, no added juice neccessary. Just the added value being champion of champions...
-
Wayne Wayne Wayne.....go to Luxmburg.....dont worry about the No 1 position....ive taken care of that!!!!! mwaahhhhh...
Should be an interesting week......i feel that ive mastered all the different classes of cards!!! :o :o
-
There is a RAZZ tourney on PS at 9.45 $10
Any body wont to practice?
Don't worry Mark I will be playing
-
No Omaha h/l?
:"(
No big money H.O.R.S.E. tourney?
:"(
Best bet is monkey was planning a serious return to the online frey on the 4th August now that babymonkey is old enough and i dont really need to keep all of my pokerstars bankroll to one side for him now - may ease my way in gently playing these ;)
-
I also expected the Omaha to be limit Omaha H/L as per the "H.O.R.S.E." format, but i suppose PL Omaha is the preferred european game and i also believe that Ironside is a master at it-so fair enough!?
actually i am a much better PLO8 and limit O8 player than i am PLO so out of the 3 omaha choices PLO is my weakest dicipline the good news is though that i am better in any game than i am in NLHE which at the moment i am sucking at

Sunday, August 12th, 8pm BST / 3pm ET
APAT WCOAP Main Event - No Limit Texas Hold'em World Championship
5,000 Chips
$50 + $5
Des,
This is currently set up on the site for a 6pm BST start.
-
Thanks Jacko. I will amend the original post on this thread. We set the main event up earlier than standard APAT events as it is on a Sunday evening and could well run beyond five or six hours.

And there"s me hoping Stars had got it wrong !!
Now all I have to do is get out of Sunday lunch with the in-laws, bathtime for the kids and putting them to bed to be able to play.
Better start being extra nice to the wife !!!!
-
Is this start time a tester for session two?
-
As an avid supporter of Ironside i feel it"s only right that APA put a bounty on whoever caps his ass in the ohama tourney........or a pint or two from me!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
All though $50 is not allot to some people, it will still be out of reach for others. Should there be a satellite so all have a chance of playing?
-
The WCOAP is upon us, who will be playing who will not?
What will the fields be?
Will Ironside win any?
Will Mark still be No1?
Will the wife still be talking to me?
-
I am in, but its like dodging bullets...... Youngest sons bday, wedding anniversary, wifes birthday. These are all through the WCOAP events....
What doesn"t kill us makes us stronger........

I"ve only just got back from a big family picnic so I knew I couldn"t enter this one - I can"t say I"m too disappointed as I fully expect I would have beaten you to the rail. Now I can look at it as $20 saved.

Looking forward to tomorrow :)

Des,
Just to let you know, i"m not being rude, my chat on Pokerstars has been banned for LIFE!!! (after 4 prior suspensions!)
Good luck me lol
Paul "thegame" Townsend
P.S. Season 2 looks great well done
-
its very quiet who won
did mark extend his lead?
-
It was a great game, with five previous APAT medalists making the final table, including Zukertort who has won two.
The winner was Ronnie 1, aka JD Force, aka James Dwinfour.
Results will be posted shortly and the rankings will be updated on apat.com after this evening"s event.

No, at a wedding unfortunately.
Sounds like it was a laugh though.

I"d be grateful if you can hook me up with the Password when you get a moment
Thanks in advance

i havent played any of the previous apat events. is there any reason to play in tonights game? is there anything i can win except the normal pay out prizes?
-
You could win a Gold, Silver or Bronze APAT medal for making the top 3.
Other than that just tonights prizepool i think, which should be half decent though :)
-
Don"t forget the leader-board points as well.
Though it might be a bit late for you to challenge on that.
-
Good luck to you Wayne (Nosey-P) for the remaining events of the APAT season 1. I think you are the most impressive player within APAT today and really deserve to win the Caribbean Cruise.
I can"t wait to play against you again 8)
-
Thanks for your support supperballok
I take it that we have played against each other on-line?
I think Mark (dougal7878) will have some think to say about that as well as a few others
Are you going to Luton?
-
We were at the same table when you got that terrible bad beat in WCOAP main event, my player id is "fethepo" and you were seating on my left.
I can"t make it to Luton unfortunately but will try to show up at APAT Worldchampionship.
-
Was that my pocket A's v pocket K's v pocket 10's
Or was it my set of A's v his gut shot, (I am still getting over that one)
-
Obviously still not over them yet though... ;D
-
I"m afraid it was the gut shot draw yes :o

Hi there im new to APAT and was just wondering when the next online APAT series 2 starts and will it be through bluesquare or pokerstars.com?

Hi there im new to APAT and was just wondering when the next online APAT series 2 starts and will it be through bluesquare or pokerstars.com?
Full details of Season 2 will, I believe, be released soon.
The Online Series will be on Blue Square.
-
Could anyone speculate how long until the details for the online series for season 2 will be announced for an impatient young pup like myself? :)
-
Just re read my question, confused myself, i know its Blue SQ but i mean the timescale until season 2 starts :)
