DRESS CODE

Clean and tidy dress is strongly recommended.  The dress code is smart casual. No football tops and no hoodies on the gaming floor, but jeans are fine.

Is this correct? Never had a problem last year at the APAT wearing a hoody, nor at the UKIPT. Has the dress code changed recently?

IM TAKING A HOODIE.

To answer a couple of points.

Hoodies are generally OK (I wear one there occasionally) but just don"t walk into the casino reception wearing it over your head or whilst on the gaming floor otherwise they won"t like it. But in the card room is fine.

The 4.30 comp used to be a "deep and steep", ie chip throwing contest though I"ve never played it so cannot confirm it still is.

The Friday comp is not normally dealer dealt but they might (and I stress might) have some extra dealers on as they know extra players from APAT will turn up. They may be training a couple ready for the Saturday as well and even that"s better than self deal.

I"ll email Ruben and ask him and I"ll post the reply on here.

Reply back from Karl the card room supervisor. Sadly it will NOT be dealer dealt on Friday.


"Hi Dave,

It was something we wanted to do however due to the demand of the APAT
weekend tournament and shift patterns, putting a dealer dealt tournament on
the Friday night was not possible.

The usual cash games/Sit and Go"s will be available on demand throughout
the weekend.

Thanks,

Karl Johnson
Poker Room Supervisor

Probably....but you"ll pay extra.

I don"t think the DeVere (ex. 71 rooms) takes bookings on Saturday for arrivals that day though....but I could be wrong.

[Charlie44]

Really looking forward to the weekend. Good that there are extra levels. But, with 15 levels on the first day x 45 mins. and a 2.15 p.m start I make it the earliest possible finish without breaks is 1.30 am or am I missing something ? This is not a criticism - just some clarification is possible.

[TightEnd]

If we play through it will be 3am or so as there are breaks. And the clocks go forward so 4am. Extra levels yes but much more aggressive antes so interesting to see how it plays. Play to the cash day one is the aim. The weekend will see if this is achievable

[ladman]

Could you not make breaks every 4 levels?

[TightEnd]

Could you not make breaks every 4 levels?

yes but you"ll want one before then, trust me

It"s a long slog

[WYoung83]

 These are a really long slog, if i make day 2 i probably wont get home untill gone 4 am with the clock change. This could be the first time i have made a day 2 witout stopping over at a hotel.
