Thanks Phil, what a great hand that was, & thanks for reporting it. (And at least one person has read my thread, lol).
I was still finishing my own poker session at the time, so with 6 tables popping up & down, I could not watch the 8 or 9 tables of the Sky High until later, around 11pm. Then I cooked a bit of dinner & settled down to watch the whole thing.
Pretty good tourney, I thought, & all of the finalists played well.
After a blank day on Wednesday, managed to get 2 cashes yesterday, 1 of which was a win. Nearly felt guilty about bubbling Dollie in that 1 (nice to see you getting some results).
So-update:-
1. To achieve my highest place on the rolling monthly stats on Aussie's excellent site. I am currently in 925th, but my highest placing is 61st. New highest position-10th
2. To win a tournament ( 1 tracked as being a £500-plus tourny). Done (won 3)
3. Final table a Main OR Mini. Done (but only once)
4. Play in 100 tracked tournaments. Done-189. Will try and make that 200 today
5. Average at least 0.5 points per tournament. On track (0.6)
6. Make a profit. Small, but I'll take it! 5-figure profit (if you count the pence)
Just 1 day to go-due to the fact that I have 0 points to lose in the remainder of the month (from late August) feel I am now certain to end up top 20, with a good chance of top 10.
Managed to achieve over 100 points for the month. That should be good enough for top 10 for this month. However, the new schedule means that it may well take a higher score in future months. I would also mention that 2 other Essex-based players (Messrs Bates & Melt) have managed to score over 200 points this month-well done.
Need just under 500 points for Priority-so I can hear DYMs calling this afternoon...
Tomorrow will be my last update on this thread-I hope some of you have found it interesting.
Read, enjoyed, even contributed. I'd say for all Poker Chat threads my stats would be 95/25/5* so you are well inside the top ten there as well.
GL tonight.
* IE I read 95% of posts, enjoy a quarter and probably only comment in 5% or less (which is bad form but not untypical if you enjoy threads up to us all to let the author know if we can).
It encourages them and hopefully others to keep posting the interesting stuff, or at least the stuff we find interesting.

Disappointed that you only felt "nearly" guilty But it was a 50/50 flip. Well played and delighted that, with the help of my chips, you went on to win it. Great results for the month and you are on a freeroll today to exceed your targets with plenty to spare.
Last day was a nearly day-I managed a 3rd and a 7th. I suspect that the shock of me making Priority (at about 22:10) was what caused the site to crash.

5. Average at least 0.5 points per tournament. On track (0.6)
6. Make a profit. Small, but I'll take it! 5-figure profit (if you count the pence)
Managed to achieve over 100 points for the month, and finished a pleasing 8th. To a large extent, it is a numbers game, i.e volume is key. One of the main reasons I finished 8th is that (of the top 100) I played 6th most MTTs over the month.
Thank to everyone who posted on this thread-your comments are much appreciated. I am really looking forward to playing no poker at all today-gl at the tables.
