Wow What a day!!
CONGRATULATIONS to Ross, Penguin7 and all who cashed at SPT Luton.. Including an extremely noteworthy performance from our very own Mr Trevor Harris and a HUGE hug for the magnificent Dollie (My seat neighbour for the tournie) who hit a horrific Bubble. I just might love him more than I love Tikay.
I would like to personally extend a MAHOOSIVE thank you to everyone to turned up and everyone I had the chance to play or speak with for making it a truly enjoyable and memorable experience.
A new blog in the making!!
It was a long 17hour day and I can quite honestly say I have never enjoyed myself more in a live tourney.
GOOD WORK PEOPLE!!
Another shining affirmation of what a warm, friendly and generous spirited community we have here at Sky Poker.

Lisa... glad you enjoyed yourself and regardless of what he says ...."You are a real "POKER PLAYER""....shame on him for saying that.
The S'n'gs were a fun way to spend the evening(winning two helps) and the 7 2 rule really spices things up.
I'm gonna try to qualify for another, maybe Glasgow but Swansea is a definte.
Met some great people but a big shout out to notmyweek,Machka, diggerman and diddlydoo who all manned
up and had a drink in the hotel bar after the casino one had shut. Not so pleased with the bunch of light in their
loafers welshmen(lead by dylan12) who went to bed instead of sampling the ale on offer.
Looking forward to the next one and meeting some more of the people behind the names.
It was 4.30am and havin final tabled the night before and not finished until 5.30am I think I fully deserved my beauty sleep Will make up for it during the Swansea leg though - that is if you will be able to handle it m8 lol
nice to meet you LML
In Response to A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL SPT LUTON PLAYERS!!!:
Lisa, that is a great post, you have said it all (and thank you for your kind words).It was lovely to meet with you and sitting next to you for so much of the day was a great pleasure. You were absolutley charming. And I tell you what, if I was 30 years (or so!!) younger nobody else would have a chance (lol).
You could have also gone a lot further in the tournie had you got any value out of the pocket Aces you had on THREE occassions (you got next to nothing each time).
Look forward to meeting up with you again.
Great to see old faces, familiar faces and new faces.
So much action going on, don't think I spoke to Lisa once - sorry, but I was running hot on the other high-stakes Indian Poker table.
Everyone at that table was an absolute gem, especially Sparce who kept the energy levels high with his side-bet action. (Though not sure Tikay was too pleased)
Best quote of the weekend has to be from around midnight on the Friday night, during the £75 2nd break.
Mickjenn appears clutching a Smirnoff Ice in each hand
SkyRegular (maybe Dantb) "Are you out of it Mick?"
MickJenn *looks at one bottle, then the other, pauses to think* "Yeah..."
SkyRegular *pauses* "The tournament...?"
Mick *longer pause* "Oh... Yeah..."
Well played everyone and see you all in the Freeroll!
Top weekend with top people
He was sat next to Johnny Nelson at the start of the main event.
After 30 minutes he asks Johnny, "So did you ever hold any titles?".
Johnny glares at the player, "I was World Champion for 7 years... Unbeaten."
The player didn't say much after that.
lol
Wow What a weekend!!
It was so good to finally meet and talk to Tikay, Lisa and so many of the people I've conversed with on line.
