Thanks for the posts and the kind words posted so far guys.
I hope to see you all online tonight trying to win the seats that eluded most of us yesterday. FYI, I"m not lukybugur on BlueSq - G3LBOY2 will be coming after you instead!
I met so many of you yesterday and I"m SOOO bad with names that I"d like to be able to put names, usernames and locations to the faces I can remember. So if you too have a different handle on BlueSq, please either post it here for all to see or Add me to your Buddy List by clicking on my name top left of this message and send it to me in a Private Message. If you could give details in the following format I"d be most grateful.

First of, congrats Neil on your new Post, you did a superb job yesterday, you were so welcoming to us all and explained everything.
Was a gr8 day, the Maybury were brilliant IMO, every table had a dealer, very professionally run, although the scoreboard was a nightmare, it changed so much I was gettin dizzy lol.
Buffet was fab, and the poker was gr8, even tho I didnt get too far heehee. Looking forward to the next one.

Hi Neil,
As well as the 3 on the FT there was a good response from other Officeporites:
Terry, Colin, Mair, Stevie Paterson, Dougie and Graham Dunn. Managed to pass details of the tem event to a couple of Blondes from the west who are keen to play.
Went out early with KTsuited on TJJ4K (no flush) board to matey who had slow played his Aces. This left me down to the felt. Oh well, next time maybe - lol

Have to agree with dunc on this.
My table is punctuated by abuse and the usual uncalled for comments that you find all over the place.

I have your window open Leigh ... keep it goin
Now youz have me interested ...
I like a good laugh at the ultra-abusive - I"m off to Thinker"s table! If his abuse is as good as his postings on his Vegas trip (I"m a big fan ;D) it should be worth seeing.

I don"t seem to remember using my Fold button as much on PokerStars ...

Was coming back from Dublin yesterday missed the first one and the live one -- so I am registered for tonight -- username: lubandige (throwback from a misspent betting youth before poker)
-
I don"t want to hear anyone knocking Blue Square Poker! They"ve just dealt me the hands I needed to win a 701 player tourney and paid me $484.50 for a $1 Buy-In. I LOVE THEM!!!
I entered all the listed APAT Online Series tourneys earlier and left myself with $2 in my account - not enough to enter the last qualifier tonight. So I just thought I"d get some practice by putting one of my last $2 into a $1 Rebuy at 12:15 today.
So, now that I"m full of confidence, you"ll see me on battling for my Seat to Walsall yet again tonight.
-
Nice one Neil. Good luck for tonight.

Good turnout this evening everyone, with 16 seats to Walsall up for grabs. Best of luck to you all.

Thanks Des, my non poker playing wife doesn"t understand why I need to play 3 nights in a row and still pay £75 to enter!!!
She thinks I"m good at this game....... ha ha ::)
-
lol....mention implied odds, that oughta do it ;D
By the way, thanks very much for doing the dealing duties at the Vic on Saturday. That was a great gesture and very much in the spirit of APAT.
-
No Walsall seat online for me! Just went out to horrible beat and gonna rant about it here then say no more! :) 2 limpers when blinds ar 50/100, I have AJ OS 2 off button so decide to raise it up to take pot so far or at least have position if either limpers calls (I fold to a re-raise!) Flop comes jc 6d js, JACKPOT! Bet 600 into pot and guy minimum raises me, I re-raise him minimum as no flush or straight draws and want maximum. He calls and turn comes 4s and I push all in for last 1900 (best way to get paid I think), he calls his whole tournament with :as: 7s and of course hits a spade on the river for runner, runner, runner! Right that"s got that of my chest, horrible! Fingers crossed for clickfest ;)
-
8.4K at first break.
Got off to a good start with 4h 7s netting a nice 2.5K profit. Then just bits and pieces
-

No problem Des, it was a pleasure. (Manchester btw)
Next time do I get an APAT T-Shirt?

If it wasn't for me you would have been home by 4
;D
-
No seat for me tonight....was running well, 16th at second break, then bust out when I pushed post flop with my AQ with 8A7 on the board...... ran in to AK ....ahhh well
Good luck to all still in ......click fest for me!! ::)
-
If it wasn't for me you would have been home by 4
;D
Wayne I have 2 words for you......
ace and jack ;D
-
My final attempt at a seat failed dramatically (for me anyway) ... :"(
ah 5s on BB (800). SB raised to 2x BB with 15k. I call leaving 3.2k behind.
Flop comes :3s: kh ac SB bets out 1.6k, I push my 3.8k in and he calls turning kc jc
Turn comes :3d: River ks and I"m railed again!
Good luck with my chips iamasleep and to all who remain.
-
Survived a stupid all-in with JQos when called by AK, then missed a raise in front of me when I pushed with A 10 - called by QQ and deservedly gone in 29th. See you in Walsall - hopefully!
-

highest hand in 25 mins is 63o
ffs after 4th in newcastle for a seat bubble and now probably here too....

Congrats to all the quailfiers tonight.
Busted out 19th when my AK was no match for chip leaders K10.
Only had 4 big blinds left so it was an easy push.
Who said you need luck in poker.

Aye mate, well played, i litteraly got the answer off live help as that final hand played out, feel sorry for 17th, but i was in that position on saturday when i finished 4th and top 3 got medals and seats
Good luck and see ya in walsall!! ;D
-
Same querie as smilinassasin, im Bowlestown on bluesquare, AshB1983 on Stars, just wondering what the deal is for sorting out online seats.
Wp everyone, see you next month.
-
Felt for u on the AK have learnt the hard way to i folded jacks and queens near the end there as not worth playing any hand unless had to ! I have folded aa in that situation to as no hand is garenteed i learnt that the hard way for a wsop seat got involved with one person to go with big stack who bust my aa. didn"t even need to play a hand lol.
Still no money in bluesquare account so not sure what they are doing?
hope to see u there get one tomorrow online!

Blue Square have your real name and address, assuming you are playing on your own account. I"m sure they will just buy you in to the Walsall event and pay the remaining money into your Blsq account.
Patience, Patience, Patience

Thanks Wizza.
I did consider folding but the way I saw it was there was 4 or 5 of us on similar stacks and with the blinds at 2500/5000 I saw a chance to double up and cruise into the top 16. Maybe I should have folded but I was a big fav. with AK vs K10. I think its one of those damned if you do damned if you dont situations.
Good luck to everyone with the clickfest tonight.
-
got a seat!!! over the moon!
Hey Morlspin well played. This is the same Buck Pete here from AWOP.
I gave up my Virgin Festival seat to you as i can"t make it. Busy November for you mate.
Good luck! especially in the Vfest as i am on 10% remember ;D

Cheers for the info rio. :)

I"ve never met you Wizza (hopefully will get the oppotunity at a future event) and I"m sure you"re a sound guy but my god do you like a moan on here! The glass certainly is always half empty! You do realise that everybody who works for APAT does it for free and in their own time. Give the guys a break!
-
After railing my wife in the first event of last season in Birmingham and then missing out on a few clickfests for other tourrnaments, I was actually fortunate enough to win a seat last night through the online sat. Looking forward to it.
All the best
Mike
-
After the long haul last night i am so glad i got in (BulldozerD) - i usually suck at satellites.
See you all in Walsall.
-
Yes i do moan alot lol but at least im upfront and tell it how it is, at least they can then address things for next time. if we say nothing they cant improve and attract more players. If that was someones first saterlite they might never play again. I no they do it for very little but in the future their may be some perks and jobs.
Anyway on a good note it was a great game thats the main thing and im sure walsal will be amazing to so keep up the good work. if am moaning its only to help i hope ha ha
See u all for online on thursday should be good
How about someone doing a translation of pokerstar names to bluesquare or setup topic to do it
ie mines smilinassassin from wizza
Ill try to moan less promise!!

Busted out 19th when my AK was no match for chip leaders K10.

I was the other person involved in that hand and folded my AK after the chip leader bet out postflop, so glad i did now, as i went on to qualify :)

thank you, hope to see you there. i didn"t think it was right to say at the time, and didn"t want to give any info away, although i thought his call was poor with an all in and a call in front of him, you were unlucky.
-
to be honest I had a feeling you were strong and he was weak and this turned out to be correct. Maybe the poker gods will smile on me one day.
-
i am sure they will :) maybe in walsall if you got your seat tonight 8)

The player briefing note will go out to all players in around a week or ten days. We have all of the details for players who qualified online, so there is absolutely no reason to worry.
