No. We don"t have our own chips and cards

[Paulie_D]

Will the apat tour be supplying their own chips & cards for the players to use ?

I"m bringing my own...is that allowed?  

[bhoywonder70]

James....your building this up into something its not....its a rake free tourney,played in good spirits,but also highly competitive....haven"t played in one,but I imagine those that tour the country play the game to a high standard.....whilst a prize is nice,I reckon the pride in winning a medal is just as sweet.....I would know....the money is long gone....but the gold is still there.....

[silverfox]

I"m sure I seen that gold medal in cash converters Window the other day! Yours ?

The tournament is a two day event.

Day one will start at 2:30pm on the Saturday and finish somewhere around 1am.

For those lucky enough to make it through to Day two, this will also start at 2:30pm and finish around 10pm.


As with any poker tournament, finishing times are only for guidance (especially the day two finishing time)

I"ve been asking round a little this event seems to have slipped under the radar on the Glasgow poker scene. I"ve been playing mostly in the alea & the mint I ain"t been in the merchant for some time so don"t know if there advertising this event! So might not see as many of the regular Glasgow players as normal I"m thinking that might not be such a bad thing ?

I play regularly at the gala merchant city and there have been no flyers advertising the tournament. I only found out about it in this months poker player magazine, and will be direct buying into it, once I find out the times the tournament starts and is due to break for day 2 (assuming I will make it that far!)

i cant buy in for another week or so, so im kinda just fcked as it wer atm, really wanting to play this as i havent played an APAT since the scottish 2 years ago! plus this is the weekend before my 21st.

Also whats gonna happen with the structure if you are using the the gala"s chips? as the smallest denomination the merchant have are 50 chips. (sorry if this has been asked/mentioned)

the Venue has had the structure for some weeks and has raised no issues with it, or timings, or dealing resources

[Paulie_D]

Oh sure. Like they"re that organised. Aren"t they they ones with the flyers that no-one had seen? Still, I"ll rely on Tighty to get them in hand.

The lack of 25 chips is easily rectified. Just play double stacked and double the blinds, i.e. 20k stacks start with 50/100, 100/200, 150/300, etc.

Pretty sure there are more important things to worry about.

[Paulie_D]

Actually that would seriously affect the structure. Doubling the starting stack is not the answer. It would be more appropriate to just play the first 3 levels as 50/100. Then every level is the same (except for antes where something could be worked out).
