Sincere apology to Machka

Hi Aaron,

Firstly,I am honestly sorry that you did not gain that last seat in last night's SPT Semi Final.

I withdrew at the last minute due to personal circumstances which I feel I do not need to explain to anyone on here.

I also watched the whole game and I was a little disappointed in some of the regulars comments directed at me which I feel were uncalled for, but not too much of a shock, when the full details were not known. That, for one reason, is why I am not going to elaborate on my reasoning behind my action.

I hope you do get to go to Newcastle and have a good week end whether you play or not in the Main Event. TEAM KNIGHTPLOP NEED YOU!!!!

I shall not be going now but hope EVERYONE has an enjoyable time there and look forward to reading all about it on here. 

Once again, sorry for creating a difficult situation for you last night and I wish you well on the tables.

Alan

    My Sincere apologies for my comments Alan, said in the heat of the moment.

    You are right, you don't need to explain anything. You are entitled to deregister from the tournament at any point. I was just a little perplexed that it was done about 3 mins before it was due to start. I am sure you can understand this too.

    Hope all is well, and i am sorry that you cannot make Newcastle. I am sure to be at Luton, and hope you are there too. Best regards, Greg.

    When I had look at the SPT semi last night and learned that you had pulled out, I was certain in my own mind that your reasons would be nothing but genuine, and so it has proved.  Alls well that ends well, as Aaron has got his seat anyway, I think this is a good decision by Sky.
    I am sorry that we will not see you in Newcastle, as I, like many others, enjoy your company.  Hope to come across you again soon.

    Hope everything is ok with you alan.

    Think the main reason people were miffed was because you pulled out with 3 minutes to go as greg has already stated. Obviously you had a good reason to pull out but I and others were puzzled with the late de reg because it was frustrating to not have 2 seats gtd and not allowing another player the opportunity to play. It is not really a big deal in the light of day because it's only a game of poker at the end of the day and bears no comparison to"real life" issues. I make no apology for any of my comments because I don't feel like I said anything wrong but I do wish you all the best and hope you sort everything out.

    Agreed Dyl, it wasnt the fact Alan deregistered, it was the timing of it. I checked the lobby with 3 mins to go and there were 10 runners, so i was very dissapointed when there were only 9 when it commenced.

    Why the decision to deregister wasn't taken a good few minutes earlier, to give someone else the opportunity to register, only Alan knows... And you are right, it doesn't matter!

    So I gather Machka now has a seat and good luck to him.  Has the seat been won through another semi, or just awarded as prize for something?  Just curious.

    It's in the sky poker tour section - he was offered the opportunity to make up the difference in order to purchase the seat.

    Hi Alan,

    No apologies necessary-ish.  I never for one moment thought that you would have done it out of malice and knew you were considering pulling out earlier in the day. 

    It was just unfortunate that it left one seat and cash for second place.  It has all worked out fine in the end, I have my seat.  I now just have to hope there isn't the wrong type of snow on the tracks during my train journey up there!

    Obviously it would be great to see you there*, so hopefully all things considered, come January, you will change your mind.

    Aaron.


    *If you need directions please just ask.

    You don't need to explain anything to anyone Maxxy....

    Now stop being a big girls blouse and get yourself and your horrific wardrobe to Newcastle..

    It just wouldn't be the same if you wern't there to provide a misdirection or two ;o)
