    Another good result this week. First chance I've had to post it as i finished playing at 2am this morning and have been out all day.

    Final-tabled the Saturday night main event!

    6th out of 290! A welcome profit of around £200 on the night and knocking on the door of a main event win. I'm playing again on Wednesday night- hope to see you all there again.

    That's the plan!

    Or at least, that's the prayer!

    I'm still debating whether or not to slip in the brag about my first main event win last week..........

    Haha, if I can then you can trust me! Keep up the great run.

    Very well played this evening in the 9pm Bounty Hunter Mr Orford!

    I suspect you'll be far too modest to mention it...

    Absolutely delighted obv. Chuffed with my form and chuffed with all the excellent players and lovely people who I encounter along the way. 

    Thanks to the rail tonight and to mattprawn who was a brilliant opponent and uber-gracious in defeat. Had to switch my chat off for the most part as I get distracted too easily when I chat to people and I think in the past, it affected my results. So, sorry if anyone said hello and didn't hear back from me.

    The result tonight puts me firmly in profit. £1528 on MTTs in 2015 and, after 6 years on this account and having played practically 600 MTTs, now £574 in profit overall.

    The ol' Sharkscope's looking good these days, you can see the turnaround starting right at the beginning of this year.


    In case you think I'm getting away with myself here, don't worry I'm not. I know about variance of course and I'm not suddenly proclaiming myself to be a good player or anything. I'm just happy I've made a marked improvement in 2015.

    I've also decided once and for all that cash poker, whilst I love to watch it, is not suited to my skillset in poker. It's MTTs all the way for me. Taken me a a few years to admit it to myself but there you go. Acknowledgement is the first step to (bankroll) recovery. ;-)

    On a roll now this year- will almost certainly be back again tomorrow night to play the main, mini and the two £55 Bounty Hunters. Where I will almost certainly fall flat on my face. Lol! Hope to see you all there.

    Lol at this! Whilst I was too busy typing away about how I took the game down- up pops this to take the p*** out of my proceeding post.

    Well, you're definitely too modest to mention you came second, so I did it for you, (see post above)

    Well played Matt, I enjoyed our battle tonight. Hope to see you in tomorrow night's one :-)

    Nice one Rich. Now you have learnt the game proper like, your next challenge will be 'how to be a presenter'.  ;);)

    Saw you (briefly) in the £22 BH last night. That is a good one to add to your list of MTT's. The 10.15pm one. Plus maybe the 9.30pm (£11).
