APAT World Championship Of Amateur Poker (WCOAP)

[Jon MW]

If I"m playing the Razz one, I don"t want Jon on my table.

Likewise, I"m trying to avoid the fishy calls early on

[Bodddders]

Do you think Jon will play online wearing his lucky hat.

[Jon MW]

That"s only for when I really need the luck, with Kinfishy playing luck shouldn"t be needed

My boss has just told me that I have to go and work in Luxemburg; from 5th August till the 10th       meaning I will miss 2 WCOAP. After telling him NO he replied it's not up for negotiation and my job is on the line. What do I do?

a)   Go to Luxemburg, work for 5 day's, get paid, pay my mortgage, pay my bills, put food on the table

b)   Stay at home, get fired but play in the 2 games, win them both get 18 points, win the Caribbean trip, win the WPT/EPT WIN $1,000,000

Ask you boss to hire out a wifi enabled laptop for you for the week, go to Luxemburg, score the points, win the million.

Do not under any circumstances, lose your job.  That is -EV.

The WCOAP events are up on the PokerStars client now, so registration can begin.

[Divitts.]

I will be on my holidays too so i will miss most of the games but i will be back in time for the heads up and the big one at the end. Its been a great first season and i shall miss it during the close. Roll on next season.

Great to see the "minority" events getting a look in.

Will there be a table for the Festival events, so their is an overall player of the WCOAP festival?

Just an excellent idea to squeeze out an extra prize from APAT/Pokerstars?

[FlyingPig73]

What about a Champion of champions event? All the champions of the online and the live events, no added juice neccessary. Just the added value being champion of champions...

Wayne Wayne Wayne.....go to Luxmburg.....dont worry about the No 1 position....ive taken care of that!!!!! mwaahhhhh...

There is a RAZZ tourney on PS at 9.45 $10

Any body wont to practice?

Don't worry Mark I will be playing

No Omaha h/l?

:"(

No big money H.O.R.S.E. tourney?

:"(

Best bet is monkey was planning a serious return to the online frey on the 4th August now that babymonkey is old enough and i dont really need to keep all of my pokerstars bankroll to one side for him now - may ease my way in gently playing these

[Ironside]

I also expected the Omaha to be limit Omaha H/L as per the "H.O.R.S.E." format, but i suppose PL Omaha is the preferred european game and i also believe that Ironside is a master at it-so fair enough!?
 

actually i am a much better PLO8 and limit O8 player than i am PLO so out of the 3 omaha choices PLO is my weakest dicipline the good news is though that i am better in any game than i am in NLHE which at the moment i am sucking at

Des,

This is currently set up on the site for a 6pm BST start.

[APAT]

Thanks Jacko.  I will amend the original post on this thread.  We set the main event up earlier than standard APAT events as it is on a Sunday evening and could well run beyond five or six hours.
