Some very insightful analysis which may well help your heads up play. He did a "proper job" on me. :=(
Thanks again for doing it Chris and Congrats!
I can't think of a more deserving winner, as you always support these things and compete with good grace and spirit.
As soon as I get the trophy back from MonkeyGLB, I will be getting yours and Alvez's (from last year) names engraved on the trophy!
I have emailed Monkey asking if he could send it to me by post/courier.
We have some history with it now, the next one will be the fifth year, can you believe that!
Ty graham mate always fun to be part of charity hu comp and nice to get the win at 5th year of trying. ty for everyone who donated. I will defo try and defend my title next year.
Is there still time to donate for this? Just watched the commentary there, such helpful analysis for me and my woeful heads up game
hi guys glad u enjoyed the vid 1st time doing anything like that and glad u liked it. i did repeat a few things and sometimes the sound went funny think being to close to mic that was. ty for watching waller02 and allan23. and anyone else who watched.
Congratulations on your win Chris and well done to Graham on finishing runner-up. Just watched the final and thoroughly enjoyed the commentary from Chris as well. Again thanks must go to Graham for organising this and hope his target of £1k is reached for the charity. Well done guys on a very entertaining final
Great video with great insights. It would be cool if Grahams point of view could somehow be input on some hands.
Yeh, I think next time, we should get both sets of finalists to record the game with their views/comments. So between the two recordings we'd see both sets of hole cards.
In fact, I am sure a "techy" person could synch them up so we see both screens next to each other.
I can't remember too well what I had each time. (It's my age)
But suffice to say, I was comprehensively outplayed.
Anyone wanting to improve their play, I would say getting better at heads up for MTT players is critical.
As when you do get to heads up in a SkyPoker MTT, there is so much difference between first and second place, as the payout structure is quite steep and also you get both bounties.
It's not unusual to get twice as much for first compared to 2nd place.
So well worth watching RSPCA's insightful video, to help improve your heads up play.

Just a slight snag, with that tho,
I will still be in work at that ungodly hour.
how about after 6.30pm, if not, Gl to you Graham,
and of course puppy boy
Regards Alan ( should of been hu champ, but will settle for plo8 champ)
Thanks for the support though!
Playing any minute now if people want to/are available to rail.
If not, Chris is going to try and record it.
It is best of 9, but must win by two clear games.
Game on.
Thoroughly deserved mate!
Chris recorded the game and has done some commentary, so hopefully you'll be able to see how he demolished me.
Chris is now the fourth winner of the trophy.
2015: STAYORGO
2016: MONKEYGLB

Many thanks to all who have supported and who took part.
So far we have raised £925, which I am hoping to get to four figures by the end of April.

Well played Chris, really enjoyed the video. It was good to hear your thought process during certain hands, a lesson to us all.
Yes that would be great. The deadline for donations is 1st May, as I go to Gloucester House in person on 3rd May to give them the cheque.
Any donation would be much appreciated!

Thanks again,
