The cash games are always going to struggle as it is £100 to enter!! Thats alot of money for your average person, especially when the main event of the weekend is only £75 IMO.

Yes I agree - tbh I"m not yet 100% sure we will continue with the Cash Tournament - that will be decided this week and if need be, the Bristol weekend changed accordingly - if we didn"t have the Cash Tournament on a Fri evening, I"d be interested in players" views to what they would like to see replace it and 2 what would attract them to attend on a Fri evening - of course I"m not adverse to simply tagging onto something that the venue will be running - means I could play and have a "quiet one"!

I would say make a decision based on the Casino"s game. A lot of people who go Friday don"t play anyway - Friday is generally seen as the drinking night.

True but if APAT could lay on something a little different...like 2-man team comp (with chip passing), or a SNG shootout comp that could be over and done with in 2-3 hours...that still leaves plenty of time for frivolity*.

* Not that I do that any more.

Or....perhaps arranging for us to self-deal something ourselves..one table at a time.

A suitable table-rent/vig wouldn"t be out of line.

I know we"ve tried to get a PLO8 SNG going on a few occasions but have been denied for various reasons.

Loving S8 schedule.

I like to play as many APAT's as possible and any venue I can go to without the need for overnight accommodation greatly increases my chances of playing it.

I feel very lucky that my Midlands base would allow me to play; Bristol, Luton, Leeds, Manchester, and Coventry quite easily.

I will make a special effort to book a hotel so I can play more than 1 event at the WCOAP.

So S8 looks like my best chance yet of a deep run!

What about prehaps doing some SNGs on the Friday evening and having WCOAP buy ins as prizes? Or if enough interest what about WCOAP package, ME + 2/3 sides if a player snags more than 1 they can use dosh for expenses if they prefer?.. Obv you could have SNGs consisting of NLH, PLO, or PLO8 depending on Casino etc..

I like Carl"s idea. Basically, live satellites.

My only concern, well my principal concern, is the vig.

I have no problem paying £20+2 for a shot at a ME /SE seat but I"m not going to pay what seems to be a casino minimum of £20+5

The max buy in for the cash tour is £100. You can just as happily buy in for minimum of £50.
