Congrats to all the teams that made it.

Looking forward to seeing Luton"s new refit in January.

Should be another awesome weekend.

On behalf of LPM, thank you for our selection. We will be fielding an extra special VIP guest player this year, announcement nearer the time, just something else to look forward to.

Oh... Is Liv available again? :-)

Good luck everyone, hope you enjoy it as much as we did last year. Disappointed not to get in, but you can"t win them all. Enjoy!

That"s a bit gutting Paul.

It"s always a difficult decision to make, but I"ll put it out there, I do think groups/forums/communities having a second team at the expense of others that have made requests (who have played and supported the event before) does seem a little unfair.

Decision made now I guess, but perhaps one to consider for future years.  The event always (famous last words) sells out, so shouldn"t be an issue.

Thanks Leigh. Yeah I saw a few of those and was a little disappointed but who"s to say we"d have got in anyway? Not to worry. Fingers crossed that if a team drops out (unfortunately) we may be lucky enough to fill a place.

Like I say, no hard feelings and good luck to all teams taking part, it"s a great event.

Was there last night... Place casino looks great now. Poker room is now very similar to the Manchester Grosvenor room with a stage, projector etc.... Gone is the smoking cage to be replaced by a "terrace"... Unfortunately dealers were terrible.

[ShoveOnMe]

I"ve got to admit that I"m genuinely quite surprised that our request for 2 teams from LBPN was not only considered, but accepted.  However, what I will say is that we have 16 players ready to go & hotel rooms booked for them all....if nothing else, we are always reliable!

Thanks for selecting us once again for what I consider to be THE ONLY team event in the UK.

Bring on Luton 2016!!

The Pokeriety are very pleased to confirm that Stuart Oliver (SirPercival) will be captaining our team for this event.



Stuart has a wealth of team experience within the APAT tour, unfortunately most of that is total abject failure due to his Scottish roots.

He was very fortunate to be a part of the victorious Team APAT in this very same event back in 2010. The team captain that day even allowed him to hold the trophy for a quick photo. Whatever did happen to that guy ?

The Pokeriety appreciate all the hard work Stuart will put into selecting a winning team as much as we are sure Stuart appreciates the photos we"ve used for this announcement.

We"re looking forward to a great weekend of poker in the New Year. Bring it on !!!!!!!!

Team LPPL will be pleased to show the advantages of playing:-

Live Pub Poker League with members from Scotland Lincolnshire and  Portsmouth who have all met locally and also at National events .

Try it at a local venue near you , if you don"t have a local venue     start 1 contact Irish Tom for details .

I dare say that every team entered in this comp has the ability to win it - given the delivery of run-good at the critical moments. Personally, only managed to play in it once before (for the Phoenix-like Blackbelt team - GL!), but had a brilliant time & rate this event as one of the best on the social calendar.

This year I"m delighted to be playing in Carl"s APAT team. GL to all involved. Can"t wait for January - if only coz it gets another bad year behind me!t

[Dawnie]

very excited to be able to field a team again this time - near enough the same team that won time before last so even better alongside this I have been asked by my teamies to captain the side this year which is a lovely honour

look forward to seeing you all in January
