Title: Newbie Help Please !!!
Post by: jonniek on September 30, 2009, 21:56:16 PM
Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some help and will keep it as short as possible.

Myself and a few mates are looking to enter the luton tour on the 21st November.

The questions i have are as follows:

1: Is this a main event or is it a tournament to enter a main event?

2: Once you have paid the £75 entry fee are you guaranteed a seat?

3: Has anyone entered these tourns before?

4: anyone playing in the particular tour?

All help appreciated.....

Look forward to seeing some of you at the tables soon


Thanks
Jon

Also do you have to be a bluesq poker memeber to play in the live events?

Right.
1) It is the APAT main event so you are playing for money, winner gets about 3.5k(I think) on average depending on runners but there is also the added incentive of a seat in a GUKPT event to the winner.

2) Once you have paid you have a seat

3+4) I have played about seven apat events they are good fun, good value and a ideal place to start your live poker experience.

5) you do not have to be with blue square. You may find that all seats have been taken for the luton event though.

The opportunity to buy a seat for Luton appears to still available from the home page (http://www.apat.com) so yeah, go ahead and make the purchase.

If your names appear on the Player List (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=4399.0) and if the payment is taken from your account, you"re in. If not, keep an eye on the Seat Exchange part of the forum here as a small number usually become available a fortnight or so before the event.
