Pokerstars not only because it is the biggest but the software is the best, occasionally play ladbrokes because i have an online betting account there, also have started playing bluesq as apat has switched there and because they have good satellites to grosvenor live tournaments

Noticed it on pokerstars
12 -WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT APAT TOURNAMENTS, STANDARD OF PLAY AND STRUCTURE?
Played 1 live event and a few online no cashes but loved the deepstack structure
13 - HAVE YOU PLAYED AT AN APAT LIVE EVENT AND IF SO, WHAT WAS MOST MEMORABLE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE?
Played in luton and was amazed by it all to be honest, played terrible poker though and only lasted 3-4 hours, didnt help that i didnt get in until gone 4am the night before my day of play, really bad idea and i won"t be doing it again, a little disappointed but i qualified through the bluesq satellite so didnt cost me as much as most of the others, apart from what i spent on my nights out in luton
14 - WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF POKER?
Typical 18 year old really, love going out with my mates usually drinking and spending too much, trying (but generally failing) to pull girls, watching/playing/betting on football.
15 - WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK OR FILM?
I have a few favourite films, when i was younger my favourite film was the original jason and the argonauts, sheer quality. now my favourite films are the shawshank redemption and goodfellas

The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come
