Title: APAT Members Needed For TV Event On Tuesday
Post by: APAT on June 21, 2008, 12:50:47 PM
We are looking for two APAT members to join Tim Magnus in an APAT team participating in the Stacked Up cash game competition on Sky Poker (Channel 846). The show will be filmed this coming Tuesday between 1.30pm and 8.00pm, and be broadcast a week later.

Stacked up features 6 teams of 3 players, participating in a cash game based league.    APAT will be the 5th team featured and our team of 3 will be required to use their own money during 2 x 50 minute cash sessions, with the objective of recording the best possible return as a team.  The team can play at any cash limits they choose but will be required to hold some of their team bankroll for the second session.  Of the 4 previous teams that have participated, I don"t believe any team has banked a positive result over the course of the programme, so there is a good opportunity for the APAT team to win the series league.

APAT members who are experienced cash players and who will not be phased by appearing and being interviewed on TV would be a welcome addition to our team.  Each player will be paid £200 in expenses for their day.  

Can anyone who is interested post on this thread and I will finalise the team tomorrow.

Thanks,

Des.

what sort of bankroll we talking here Des.


Completely down to the team Nigel.  On the low end you might want to put in £20 each and play at 5p / 10p levels or you might want to put in £100+ each and play at higher levels.  It"s not that crucial as the league is decided on percentage increase or decrease on the team bankroll.  That said, it is likely to be carnage playing at the lowest levels - 7 players in every hand etc.  Whatever you choose to play, I would strive to ensure that the expenses payment covers any potential losses you might make, while offering a bonus of any gains you might bank during the show.

Okay, with time short and you needing to sort a flight I can confirm your place Steve.

Nigel, do you want to lock up the third seat?

In Des" absence, I believe these are recorded at the Sky studios at Feltham, Middlesex, near Heathrow.

Hi guys, Jack is right, the studio is in Feltham and you would need to be there for 1.30pm on Tuesday.  Either of you would be first class for APAT and I would be happy to do a random draw or if you are both playing tonight, offer it to whichever of you lasts the longest in the tournament?

Hi Des, sorry to throw a spanner in the works.
Has the third seat been assigned to anyone yet?
Or are they playing for it tonight?
If in the latter could i participate? Or is it just between Chelsea and Everton.
I"m prepared to stick my neck out for Tottenham ;D
Title: Re: APAT Members Needed For TV Event On Tuesday
Post by: APAT on June 21, 2008, 18:33:03 PM
With Ant out this evening I think the last longer isn"t the way to decide the last seat.  So Nigel, if you are definitely in for it, I will do a draw between the two of you.  Paul, I think you"ve missed out on this occasion but will keep you in mind for the next one if that"s okay.

Good luck to those taking part.

I was on this last week (filmed the week before).  Slightly strange format for a cash game - as the time constraints and the inability to reload during the first session make it a bit artificial. 

But it"s great fun.

Hi Guys,

(FYI - declaring interest in Stacked Up - as I will be producing it tomorrow)

Hi hope everyone is looking forward to tomorrow. Should anyone wish to dish the dirt on any APAT outdraws that the team have served up or any good stories of APAT events / APAt community etc. Please post on the site. I will be reviewing this thread regularly untill filming and it will help to provide "a strong background" to the team.

Just to let you know so far the "Class of 1970" are the only team to have posted a profit on the leaderboard so there is a real chance of the APAT team to reign supreme.

The show will be aired a week on tomorrow and can be seen either via Sky Poker or or via the website feed.

There"s no dirt to be found at APAT events "Ling, you should know that  ;) with the exception of one rather rude photo that came out of Dublin last year...

Unlucky in your second session Tim, I think you were the leading APAT player in the first session.  Well done to the team overall and we"ll be looking to take this down when we go back for the second leg in a few weeks time.
