I have to agree, the sportsmanship has been spiffing. Well done all. I'll update the board later today when a few more scores will most likely have come in. My best 100 since failing miserably has been 65, which is as good as I'd ever get and would prob take me another 5 goes to equal, so unless I hit a silly run good period, that'll be my final second chance saloon figure. I'll be having a go at the bravery thing tonight, I think I've completed it twice up and including the £5 game, but had stupidly done it the wrong time of the day when no £11 game would ever start, so I gave up on it and went back to the £3 games! And, what TK says, ta everyone.
In Response to Re: Calling All PLO8 DYM Players, Our Competition, Scoreboards, Results, Chirps & Whatnot. : Ouch! For rubs, he did not even need the flush, he flopped the wheel. Yikes. Hard to imagine why anyone would want to get a full stack in with 10-2-3-4, but I guess we all have our own ways of playing the game. Was the villain Spite Lady? I'm assuming it was.

Ha no it wasn't Karen but was another reg at the 60p level which suprised me when i saw his cards.
An interesting fact based on the latest stats is that of those that have finished 100 games 9 have stats of above 50% and only 2 below. Of those yet to finish 16 currently have stats above 50%, 4 of exactly 50% and 4 below 50%.
Given that the average must be 50% I assume this means that the 'non regs' i.e. those not in the competition, are being absolutely crushed by the regs!
Obviously this is not conducive to getting more people playing this great game and not helped by BBMike, Tikay, Eon etc slaughtering all before them.
I have done my best recently to redress this and fully expect other regs to also play ball and lose a few!

3/3 tonight means I have now won 33/49, but more importanly 13 in a row.
I haven't even had to play particularly well, to be honest. The first game tonight just played mad, chips flying around left right and center and watched the carnage from the sidelines.
Over the run, I have just run extremely well. As I just said in the chat box in the most recent game, it's been embarassing the amount of times draws have come in, and I've ended up with nut/nut against second nuts and scooped important pots. I may have dropped below 1250 chips about once in the streak.
Having said all that, watch me get busted on Level 1 1st game tomorrow....
3/4 last night whilst attempting bravery, won 1st 3 blew up in 3 quidder. 2nd chance total 7/13. Would just like to reiterate TK and Colin's (TALON), comments re the success of this challenge and the interest thta has been generated in PLO8, Well done Twiglet. I think your next mission should be to introduce/promote/set up a PLO8 MTT league to run along the lines of the Monday DTD tournies. What do you think Maca??? Posted by pomfrittes
I'd love to pom, but we're moving next year and Sky poker not allowed, it'll be a long gone distant memory, so I can't try to organise anything I'm afraid!

Yes, yes and triple YES! you can do it Barney! WE WANT A 20 WINSTREAK!
I've got a different slant on the bravery cross, lets call it the Victoria Cross (with Maca's permission of course). You play all 6 levels in one go! I tried it tonight, it's a bit hectic, but I managed to win 4/6 losing the £1 and £3 ones. Not for the feint hearted and needs a bit of traffic to be able to do it. Posted by Enut
Now we are talking! A proper lunatic challenge! I'll try that tomorrow if I think I can get all 6 going at the same time.

Hey ho onwards and downwards !

well over my original target of 40% so far and up to a small profit of 2.05
How about losing a lot?

Unfortunately you need 60% to break even if you play at the 20% rake levels.
you can do it Barney!
