Thanks to all for the updates/competitions/general info, following the main event especially with 2 respected Sky players haveing a deeeeeeeeeeeep run was really interesting.
Thanks for the support and wishes people. Just read through the whole thread now and it's nice know people are sending the positives vibes. (Please send more when I'm AI with KK��). If you don't know, I qualified for £16 so my ROI on this is massive. The whole tourney,trip,experience was superb and I'll deffo be trying to satellite into the next one. As for being crestfallen, it was more a combination of little sleep, long days and mental overload finally being over. It was so intense at times that I even miscounted my stack(thought my 2 milly stacks were 1 milly). More of a relief and a quick chat with Simon Allen(who's appearance later on in matters to rail was a boost) over a brew in the reverted me back to my normal jovial self. As for the money, plans are afoot for new bathroom,stair and landing carpet, new heating install, garden work, garage roof,stuff for the kids and couple of new tattoos. Any left may end up being punted over counter at my local Yamaha dealers. Once again, thanks for the support, it means a lot. Hopefully it'll inspire someone else to make the most of their shot at a big pay day. Regards, Mohican. P.s. Thanks to Dave Thompson for a cheeky rail in the arvo. Also Tx to Chris Jones,who was railing the EM,for lending some support to me as well. Its massive seeing a friendly face and a cheer when you win a hand. Posted by Mohican
Told you I had a good feeling. Great result mate - the Bromleys are very chuffed for you - must be toblerorange karma
What a nightmare it's been trying to settle THIS one......
Reminder, this was the Competition that Tighty set up;
"going to do a quick competition today
tikay, prizes please
Deadline for entries is 6pm
1. Name the time the last hand finishes today
2. Name the winning hand, cards and suits. in the event of duplicates, the first correct guess wins. If no correct guess we'll go to the correct hand, incorrect suits and pick the first person who got that"
Looks like "mouska" got that, with a prediction of 01.14, who beat TwoAnchors by 13 minutes. Nobody got even close to 02.35, & to be fair, none of us expected - or hoped - for that.
No less than EIGHT people predicted that, though nobody got the suits right. Commiserations to TheDart, who correctly predicted BOTH hands (A-K v 4-4) but the wrong way round, as 4-4 lost, & wrong suits for the AK.
So by the rules, the first one to predict AK (wrong suits) gets the prize - I think - & that would be "ItsOver4U" as far as I can see.
I'll not organise the entries for this one yet, in case there are any objections, or a Stewards Inquiry. If not, I'll sort it tomorrow. Posted by Tikay10

Got to first break with 4k @ 50/100.
Just folded big hand on turn, limp from active player utg, I raise to 3x with TT, he calls.
Flop 299, he bets pot, I call, turn 9, he bets 1500 I call again.
River brick 5, he puts me in for my last 4k, I folded.
What do you think? Looking back...
I think that if I'm calling the turn I should be calling the river.

I'll make it to DTD one day....

Yikes.
