    Day 68

    So, UKOPS began today! To avoid what happened during the last UKOPS (where I lost a lot of money), I decided to set myself limits this time. I'm spending £10 per day (£5 on a satellite and £5 on a UKOPS event directly - or £5.50 per event due to rake) as long as I play some DYM's too in order to keep the balance up.

    Played 1 x £20K UKOPS 1 Sat (result: 24th, did not qualify)
    Played 8 x £3 Double Your Money (results: 5th, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 4th, 4th, 3rd, 1st)
    Played 2 x UKOPS IX Freeroll (results: knocked out early, 43rd - needed top six!)
    Played 1 x £3000 UKOPS Mini (results: knocked out before late reg ended ..)
    Played 2 x £3 Sky Head Hunter (results: 1st for £11.88 in bounties, 2nd for £3.24 in bounties)

    Had a small loss today, but hey, It's UKOPS! Just need one cash and my bank roll could be awesome ;-)

    Down to £93.13, shall update the first post now.

    Day 69

    Balance dropped a little today, didn't have the best of luck in STT's or UKOPS events.

    Played 1 x £1000 UKOPS Micro (result: out quite early)
    Played 1 x £4K UKOPS Direct (result: 11th, needed top 6 to qualify!)
    Played 1 x £400 Bounty Hunter (result: knocked out very early!)
    Played 8 x £3 Double Your Money (results: 3rd, 4th, 6th, 6th, 4th, 1st, 2nd, 1st)
    Played 6 x £3 Sky Head Hunter (results: 2nd with £1.88 HP, 3rd with £1.88 HP, 2nd with £2.52 HP, 1st with £10.08 HP and then a 6th and 4th - no head prizes).

    Bank roll now £76.73, will update the first post now. What I haven't yet mentioned is that I won a £22 seat into tomorrow's £8,000 UKOPS B/H via Sky Poker TV, a cash in that would do very nicely! I'll try my best :p

    We're supposed to try and win it??! Maybe that's where I've been going wrong so far ..

    I've had a great day so far, spent my daily £10 UKOPS allowance on two sats, qualified from the second one into the main event semi, and now booked my seat in the main event :D

    Two big UKOPS events tonight for me; hope I run well! :-)

    Full report later of course.

    Right, so for some reason I can't view the last page of my diary ..

    I can view all other pages fine, but when I go to the last page, it just doesn't load up. I see the Sky Poker banner and everything on the left hand side, but nothing loads where the thread should be xD I have tried two different broswers also.

    Customer care have been less than helpful .. but they do tell me that they see the page fine, so now I'm not sure what to do :/ Any suggestions then PM them to me please!

    Just re: 1st place finishes on scope. I think it calculates every cash in a DYM as 1st place - hence the enhanced stats.  :)

    I can see that Sky_Lee responded via the Poker Chat section of the lobby, however I can't see the response as I can't see the page. Please PM me regarding this matter.

    I should clarify that I talked to customer support once more after the time mentioned above and this time they were very helpful and said they would investigate the matter.

    Keep seeing that people are posting in my thread, but I can't read them ...

    Maybe when it goes onto a new page that will solve the problem? :p

    Someone must have said something pretty bad on page 13 - it broke the thread! ;-)
