the airport is about 10-30 minutes from casino (maybe longer during the daytime)
there is a good bus service with the bus station just round the corner from casino
train would be a good option is there is a service as the train station is next to the jurys inn
which is 250 yards from the international casino


Have cancelled Premier Inn and booked the Jury"s as well as booked a train to come up rather than drive.  Cheers for the info.

Not sure what to do now :-(

Total costs with trains/planes/hotels/babysitters/taxis/takeaway for kids/buyin (plus donating to sats as I never win them) works out about £500 which I dont mind if I know I have a game I can play on the Sunday if i get knocked out of ME as flight back is booked for the Monday. I wouldnt want to donate to the £250 so the thought of hanging around all day Sunday and worst still stranded there because of some bloody volcano has scared me off a bit.

Awww Suzanne would love for you to come up, and as John has said STTs are an option which will be good, also think positive, you WILL be in day 2 as you are a cracking player and its your turn to take one down.

Hope you do come xx

does "dealer dealt" mean button deals or there is an dealer? what are the blinds and are there limits on games that can be played?

do any other cash games run reguarly/will any run during this weekend, looking for games around the £100 buyin range.

this is my first APAT, anything i need to know? thanks in advance

Dealers Choice: Casino provides the Dealer, dealer button calls the game.
Usual games include Omaha, Super Stud, Irish, sometimes with a double flop.
The weekend of the APAT the casino will be "Dealer Rich", so Cash Games and Sit n Goes will be available.
Basically it boils down to customer demand what we run. If enough people want a £30 PLO sit/go we will run one.
