UKPC Main Event

edited March 2016 in The Sky Poker Tour
Returned from a weekend in Nottingham where I participated in the UKPC main event. I bagged my seat winning one of the freerolls in January. Being a micro stakes cash/tournie player on-line this was the only way I could play in such a prestigious tournament. Was a bit daunting at first as I have no previous live experience but managed to get through till early day 2 finally going out in 253rd place. Have to say the whole experience was wonderful playing in the packed Dusk Till Dawn casino and something I would love to repeat in the future.

    No problem Tikay, forgot to mention that I briefly introduced myself to you on Saturday during one of the breaks. I was the lad from Newcastle that shared your marvellous fashion sense, we both had similiar scarves on :-)

    Post of the week. 
    Lovely story and congrats on your cash. I think your only downside was meeting Orford TBH ;)
    Really glad you enjoyed it. Plus I also enjoyed reading MJX's opening post. Great stuff both.

    A huge thanks to all at sky poker, having qualified by winning the 996th millionth (Very Lucky) hand i could not have enjoyed myself more! Great experiance and will be looking to get involved in more live poker events moving forward. Down side is that i was knocked out around an hour before close of play on Saturday, flipped after the flop miles ahead only to be on the wrong end of someone hitting runner runner (Not so lucky). That being said, the way the tournament was run was great, giving the recreational players a chance at such a prestigious event. I think it is fair to say a huge pat on the back for all involed at Sky Poker is well deserved!! I will be there again next year, hopefully qualifying online but if not i will stump up the buy in to be involved in such a great event.
