Afternoon.
I'm short of time today, so we'll have to keep this one brief, & I'm sure many of you may be pleased to read that. Not too much went off last night, though I suppose that depends if you done well or not.
Was a pretty quiet night at the tables too, (though not on the Forum....) with the Main & Mini covering by a smidge, Summit missing by a painful £600, & Quickdraw falling a couple short. Still, considering the quality of televised CL Football, I guess those were acceptable numbers.
Tonight sees the delicious match up of Man United & Messi Barcelona, so numbers might well be on the thin side again.
OK, let's get this done.

Gold Rush Main
Rocket919 is on fire. He only plays MTT's occasionally, just 8 in the last fortnight, but he has cashed nicely in no less than 6 of them. In addition to last night's bink, he cashed in the £6k BH on Sunday, Sharpshooter on Saturday, finalled Hitman on Thursday, finalled the £6k BH the prior Sunday, and was 3rd of £463 in the Mini a few days earlier.So 6 nice cashes in 8 attempts over a fortnight. That's extraordinary, can anyone remember a hotter run that that?
The runner-up did pretty well too, played just 8 MTT's here since Xmas, & got into it via a satellite.
Top binking by them both.
5th placed kodiak1985 was maybe the class act, he does pretty well with a 46% ROI from a small sample size.

Deep run by Jac35 too, though whether he was pleased or disappointed is not clear. When we go deep, there's always that "if only my 9-9 had held up" sort of thing.

wynne won, well done him. I have a bet with one of the Sky Poker Suits that "wynne1938" does NOT refer to his age, he swears it does & I'm equally sure, as I've met him, it does not. All I can say is that if wynne is 80 years old he has worn unbelievably well. Bit like me I suppose.Runner-up was gypsyluck, but I'd bet good money he's not a real Gypsy. I have a very close friend who is a Gypsy - proper Gypsy - & he gets mortally offended if he sees Gypsy written with a lower case G. Gypsies are officially a race of people, like English, Russian or whatever, & they consider it derogatory if a lower case G is used. Bet you never knew that. Or cared, to be fair.

In the "most heads" department, three players took 11, one of whom finalled (wynne), one was 8th, & the other was.......51st. Must feel odd to take 11 heads & not finish in the Top 50.

You will know that I, & many others, have a soft spot for Flopper-Wopper oynutter, so what a delight to see him win this. He's been here for 11 years, & his graph is a lovely, unbroken rise, but it went vertical last night & it looks to me that it was his best ever result on Sky Poker. 11 years is a long time in poker, so he must feel chuffed to bits, & quite right too. Bet that cash will come in handy, too. He's a bit of a head-case, for sure, but in all those years I doubt he's ever posted a negative post on the Sky Poker Forum despite the fact life has been a struggle for him & "me julee".

Poor old Danny, out with the washing, but he's a proper bloke, so he'll have shrugged his shoulders & moved on.

No surprise to see wineli get the cheese, & note both starfox & Monty15 have Sharky ratings in the high 80's. (For context, Villain Bates is 89).@wineli 140000 1 £400 + £196.08 Head Prizes 4

Meanwhile, tailed off where these 3. No matter how good we are at the poker, these things are gonna happen, & if you play the game properly, it will happen from time to time, it just will.

My kind of mtt. Turbo and so skill not a factor
Had a good run and exit was standard. You’re right though. When you get that deep it’s always a tad disappointing to bust out before the proper money
I was loving it, until the flopped flush and I was out. He continued to Donk shove knocking another out with q5off. And turns out he wasn’t in a rush and ended up winning. Gotta love Poker....although I hated it last night.
Anyway I’ve never seen him play like that before so still assume he was in a rush and shoved his way to glory. Gg.
Finally got a bit of a bankroll now, so hopefully things are looking up.
Great to be playing with the big boys now.
Thanks Tikay, you is still my hero
Cheers all, floppa whoppa!
Thought you were already mad @oynutter ?
In a nice way, like. You are my hero too mate.
They’ve certainly been updated
I always thought no-one was your hero (except Orford, obviously)
No such thing as a poker player hero to me, no. I don't count you as a poker player though.
