First-would like to say as beforestructure was pretty good but as I said earlier i think any alternates money should go to the players over the usual 10% that-get paid which would have given the 5 a little cash
I deliberately chose to add the prize money from the 6 alternates (£450) to the existing places paid
APAT is looking to provide festival type experiences for low buy ins. With that comes festival practices, comparable and hopefully better organisational standards and not (as per playing for the win) hanging on for £75 for 21st or something
Keep the money to the top 10 per cent.
The fact that four players went out quickly on day 2 at least showed they werent trying to limp into the bottom money.
2 players went out in the final hand of day 1 and the table dynamics were completely different at end of day 1 compared to start of day 2. Day 1 end was short handed and all in shoves were generally getting through. Day 2 start was 10 handed.
I too was all in in the first few minutes of day 2, admittedly a reraise all in after the flop, but with only middle pair. £3700 for first or £176 for 15th, No brainer which place to play for.
As for booking hotels for day 2 . Lets see, slept in my car once (and ended up at the local car boot at 6am!), cadged a room once and in season 1 thanks to Lee Mulligan managed to get a bed in the transit accommodation at the local army camp!! All part of the apat experience!!
