Title: APAT UK Amateur Championship - Online Satellites
Post by: APAT on November 11, 2007, 15:41:22 PM
The UK Amateur Poker Championship will be held at the G Casino in Manchester on December 8th & 9th.

Over 50 players qualified for the event via APAT Regional Championship events at 11 Casinos yesterday.

Online satellites into the event will be held tonight and tomorrow night (November 11th & 12th) at 8pm at Blue Square.  The satellites can be found under Tournaments / Specials / APAT.  The buy in will be $20 + $2 and the top ten percent of the field in each satellite will win a seat at the UK Amateur Championships.

Finally, a direct buy in to the UK event will be available at the home page of www.apat.com from 9pm on Tuesday evening, November 13th.  The buy in will be £75 and no registration fee will be charged.

The event is expected to sell out quickly, so we recommend that members interested in participating in Manchester have their payment details ready for 9pm.

Regards,

Customer Services
customer@apat.com

Only 30 registered so far.  Still 3 and a half hours until kick-off, so plenty of time.

Hi

Re the direct buy in - will we be paying on Wed or will it just be the email clickfest with payment to follow?
Title: Re: APAT UK Amateur Championship - Online Satellites
Post by: APAT on November 11, 2007, 19:55:33 PM
It will be as per the last two events, pre-authroised payments via the APAT payment server.

Please please please can something be done about the software.  On every hand I tried to play, the screen froze after I made my bet.  I then get told that I am in "SitOut" status and asked if I want to rejoin the game.  When I confirm that I do, my hand has been folded and I have lost my bet.  The only time it didn"t happen was when I pressed the "All-In" button in tilt mode and then I ran JTo into pocket Aces.  It did make 2 pair though but he got a straight.

As I said, I"d have settled for 19th!

Out in 49th after pushing with AK on the AQ4 flop - beaten by neepheed"s AQ. I wish he was the one having the connection problems ...  ;)

Good luck to all those still in.  The rest, see you tomorrow ;D.

Can someone please post on here the BlueSq names of the folk who get the seats tonight? I REALLY need to go to bed now and although I keep my PC on and have it on the screen, I can never find out how things finish. I seem to remember PS used to have the results of all our APAT Events available under "Completed" for around 12 / 24 hours.

Do y"all have the same problem with BS or is is just the way I have my software configured ... ?

It was not really the place I was aiming for i think I would have rather got nothing.. poker is a cruel game over the last week or so.. Bubbled in a GUKPT seat, Bubble FT in Manchester on Saturday, and got $4 in qualifier last night.. Im like the Bridesmade this week..

Not playing again tonight, cant justify the time, takes far to long.. clickfest for me.. Good luck if ur back in

Title: Re: APAT UK Amateur Championship - Online Satellites
Post by: Swinebag on November 12, 2007, 21:04:23 PM
said i wasn"t going to play. wish i"d kept my word. stuck em in post flop, was behind with 14 outs...no improvement. gl the rest of you.

If I can type in details as quick as shipping chips, the clickest should be no problem

The day after the satellite Steve.  It should have been just under $50.
Title: Re: APAT UK Amateur Championship - Online Satellites
Post by: inthepink on November 21, 2007, 13:51:11 PM
How much under $50, as i got about $42, and was wondering how the $200 was broken down
Title: Re: APAT UK Amateur Championship - Online Satellites
Post by: APAT on November 21, 2007, 14:15:02 PM
The $200 is broken down as £75 to the host casino (G Manchester) and the balance to the player.  This calculation is done by Blue Square and based on the dollar / pound exchange rate at the time.  Clearly £75 was equal to $158 on the day in question.
Title: Re: APAT UK Amateur Championship - Online Satellites
Post by: Swinebag on November 21, 2007, 15:29:18 PM
$2.1066 for the pound.

Bet you dont get that when you deposit!
