The satellites for the Scottish National Championships to be held at the The Gala Maybury, Edinburgh on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July 2009 are :-
Monday 15th June 2009 - 9pm - $20 + $2 freezeout
Tuesday 16th June 2009 - 9pm - $10 + $1 freezeout
Wednesday 17th June 2009 - 9pm - $5 + $0.50 rebuy
Each satellite will offer a seat for every $150 in the prizepool (£75 seat + expenses)
All satellites are hosted on Blue Square Poker
All remaining seats will be sold via the APAT home page at 9pm sharp on Thursday. The entry fee for the event is £75 and no registration fee will be charged.
-
Satelites in the Blue Square lobby currently state 9pm start? ???
-
Not sure whether to play these or not - PM sent to Des.
-
We are aware. They will be staying at 9pm due to the number already registered.
Entertain yourselves for a hour. ;D
We do keep telling Blue Square, when Mickey is on the eight and Minnie is on the twelve, that"s when the tourneys need to start. ;D
-
Think I"ll have a bash at the 20 dollar sat if dnt qualify will just clickfest lol
-
Are we going to look at the Package players win in these sats.
I believe that we could be losing at least 5 seats due to the $150 package.
I understand that exchange rate is the issue. We just take what ever the BSQ exchange rate is and we the work out £75 and pay these as seats.
What are others opinions.

"Not sure whether to play these or not - PM sent to Des" Sir Percival.
Very cryptic Skip, do elaborate.
I guessed 2 final tablists at the last event do I get a clickfest get out of jail card?
-
Yes you do Mike, pm me if you want to use this option. The option is also there for the top ten in the rankings, the top three in the Scottish Online Championship and the defending Champion. Let me know if anyone of these players want to buy in direct.
-
Blue Square have mistakingly put the sats tonight at 9pm, instead of the normal time of 8pm. We"re going to have to leave these up at 9pm as several players are registered and I feel it would be a good deal worse if players show up an hour late for this as opposed to an hour early. Apologies in advance if anyone ends up playing well beyond normal bedtime.
-
25 in so far good enough for 4 places paid and 3 seats so far
-

Thanks Des, I"ll take my seat whilst I"m still top 10 - save my clickfest finger for another day.

does electron go through or am i gonna have to put money in my rbs account to use my maestro? lol
-
Why can"t bluesq get it right? 9 o"clock is too late for school night imo.
Can you make the one tomorrow a $20 buy-in as well, make it an 8pm start and then at least there"ll be more seats available?
Just a thought.
-
can we have some DS sats???

I think your right but it makes things complicated and exchange rates can change in minutes.
I like the idea of whoever finishes with the extra money being given the choice to buy a seat before the clickfeast.

I was in for an early night tonight - still not recovered from sleepless night at DTD on Saturday. For some reason, registered for the FullTilt 34k gtd at 7pm half expecting to donk it away by 8pm...... but am now sat 73/505 at second break. Perhaps late night after all.

Congratulations to the nine players who have won their seat to Edinburgh tonight :-
In no particular order
pawprint75 - Leigh Wiltshire
Ant66 - Ant Williams
CaratasMzee - Tom Steuart-Feilding
DaddyBadger -
Flincher - Blair Kirkland
Hoshe - Derek Liddle
Logie66 - Don Logan
scottishbawbag -
sundancejon - Jon Garrett
And very unlucky to Gimac1 who after what seemed like ages, went out on the bubble for $50.
-
Well played all, see you in Edinburgh
-
Good game all - I"ll see you in Edinburgh. I"m CaratasMzee now on BlueSq as I couldn"t figure out my Ashhen login details :s
-
Yes well played all, a very cagey final hour or so! Very unlucky to GiMac1 as well. Look forward to seeing everyone in Edinburgh.
(Flincher)
-
Well played all particularly Leigh Ant and Don. Anyone know what happened to Spartan (Jeldon) as I nodded off.
::)

Blinds were going up and we were down to 11/12 and needed to double up. There was lots of stealing going on and a bit of shoving and eventually two half decent hands were going to collide. He was on the wrong end of it.
-
Leigh,
Can I just clarify the money that we "won" last night in the online qualifier is automatically used to buy a seat in Edinburgh and the remainder paid into the bluesqr account? So I don"t need to buy a seat at clickfest (I thought I read somewhere a long time ago that the online qualifiers meant that you were guaranteed a seat but still had to buy it, maybe that was last year?)
Jon (sundancejon)
p.s. well done last night.

Jon,
Well done on last night. Your seat is secure for Edinburgh and the balance will be paid into your Blue Square account, usually after a gentle nudge towards Blue Square from us.
See you in Edinburgh.

Does tonights sat start at 8 or 9?
-
Does tonights sat start at 8 or 9?
It"s another 9 o"clock start.
To give you an idea, last night saw 70 runners, with a final table starting just before midnight.
Would expect a similar time (or earlier) with the same structure for the $10 tonight.
Tomorrow"s rebuy is another story though. At $5, there are usually a lot of chips in play come the addon, so that may last a while.

Thanks for the info

In that case please can someone gently nudge them for the Irish sats last month, I qualified in the first one but never received any balance circa 50 bucks.
Well done all last night I couldn"t play as I go to bed at 10 ::)

They should have all been done ages ago. Have you checked your sportsbook balance, as sometimes they transfer it in there. If not, we can raise it when we nudge them for the Scottish balances. ;D

Sigh.

FML!!!!
Chip leader from 45 players out right to final table. Then card dead as every short stack around me doubles up. I make one move from SB with K 2 get called by 89 who hits 2 pair and thats that, lol. Just call me bubble boy. ::)

-
Well done on getting a seat last night.
All you need to do is turn up at the venue on the day.
If you are not a member of the Gala Maybury, you will need to do that on the day, so photo ID will be required.
There will be a players briefing posted on the forum nearer the time, so sit back, soak up the forum and look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh.
Oh, and welcome to APAT. ;D

how come it starts at 9.00 now? i havent slept for a few days and need a early night. cant no play though.

Unfortunatley for Jeldon, Kq in the big blind was no match for A8 suited. ::)
-

Unfortunately, there was some confusion from Blue Square and people had already registered, so the time has stayed at 9pm. Usually they are 8pm.
-
Well done every1 who qualified last night and GL 2nite!
-
Good luck tonight, got to be up at 5.30 tomorrow so its the click fest for me.
-
51 players in tonight.

Congratulations to the three players who have won their seat to Edinburgh tonight :-
bdixon8888 - Ben Dixon
scjn01 - Alan Mower
swinebag22 - Rob Swindells
And very unlucky to Telmison4 who went out on the bubble for $60.
Bobby (Telmison4) was unlucky in a hand with Rob towards the end. He had pocket tens and Rob had AK. Flop came AAK. MBSN. ;D

2:30pm start on both days Alan.
Difficult to get a finishing time on the Sunday, but you would hope to have the trophy in your hands around 9pm.

Must stop reading this thread it"s getting to me, I don"t miss many APAT live games but this one I will (having booked a fecking holiday that clashed FML) good luck to all and wherever I am in the World I will be following the live updates.
Good luck all
-
Currently 19 runners in for tonights $5 rebuy satellite, starting at 9pm.
These are normally carnage for the first hour and usually provide more seats per player than the $10 freezeout.
I"m not sure who holds the APAT rebuy record at the moment, but I"m sure Scouse, Kinboshi and Boddders have got close to double figures in previous tourneys.
Good Luck all.
-
tempted anyway juts to be on the same table as scouse who goes all in first orbit every time
-
... the record will go tonight!
L
-
40 runners tonight.
5 minutes in, rebuy count = 15

How quick are you with these results?? ;D
and chuck was v v v unluckly esp as I flopped a str8 flush on the bubble blind v blind in an unraised pot. I could only min raise on the river as I was shaking too much to type anything else and risk folding by mistake.
See you in Edinburgh. Hope Chuck gets a seat s/he deserves one
This calls for a triple smiley :) :) :)

Yes - it was a bit unfortunate to flop that straight. I should have just called the river though.
Will be having a go at the credit card shuffle tonight...

Thanks for quick reply Leigh re starting times.
I was already intending to stay until Monday whether I"m still in on the Sunday or just watching/supporting/propping up the bar.
Congrats to all last nights qualifiers.

Can"t find anything online, but I recall from last year that Sunday night was deepstack night at the Gala Maybury.
Don"t get too excited though, their idea of deepstack was 3k chips and it was self dealt. I recall donking chips off in first five minutes and playing a tighty sit n go instead.
If any locals have more details, would be interested to know.
-
Leigh,
Currently at the Maybury on a Sunday night is a very Juicy £10 rebuy.
They may change this knowing who is appearing from APAT. :D :D
-
Here is the final player list for the 2009 Scottish Amateur Poker Championship, being played at the Gala Maybury Casino, Edinburgh on July 18th & 19th.
There wasn"t space for every player who attempted to get in, so seats were allocated strictly on a first come first served basis. Entries were pre-authorised, so if your name does not appear on the list below, your pre-authorisation will be cancelled.
PLAYER LIST
Raymond Crowe
Richard Rudling-Smith
Rob Swindells - Sunday Warm Up Runner Up
Robert Burke
Robert Kirkwood
Ross Johnson
the way it should be :P
on a brighter note woop my names on the list :P
-
So great to see some names on the list I haven"t caught up with in ages.
Looking forward to it!

Thanks

Hi Michael, We"ll play down to around 25 players on day one, which will be at around 1am. Sunday will start at 2.30pm also.

the circus does a good sunday tourney
£20 with 1 re buy OR add-on
start time of 4pm and each buy in/rebuy/add on gives you 5-7k from memory
blind levels start at 25/50 too so it can be quite a long affair

Start with 4k the rebuy / addon is for 6k, (you only get one). First 2 blind levels are 1 hour each, thereafter the blind levels are 25mins.
its a good game only needs more runners as only gets 30 ish
Cheers

if the weather keeps up think i could smuggle a pair of shorts to the card room? lol
