£6,000 Hitman Bounty Hunter @ 8pm

Was quite a busy night last night & all the headline stuff covered nicely, despite (or because of?) Arsenal being on TV.


Main Event winner @chappy43 is an infrequent MTT-er here, this was just his 8th MTT in 2 months. Really fascinating how some players just play occasionally, most poker players are all or nothing.

Runner-up usually plays much smaller stuff, so this was a big result for him.

@bearlyther (3rd) was probably the best player in the Final, & now has over £80,000 of Profit on Sky Poker from 22,000 games. That'as a bit misleading though, as within those 22,000 are 12,000 SNG's from which his profit was "only" £3,000, so in fact his MTT stats understate his profitability & ROI. If we look at his "scheduled games" only, he has £78,000 of profit from 8,000 games at an ROI of 47%. Heady stuff. Stats can be so misleading, a glance at the Brexit thread proves that.

@Blaiseee (4th) has very impressive stats too, with £35,000 of profit from just 6,000 games.

In 13th was @Essexphil, who had just started a Forum Diary I'm delighted to say, & it's a cross between a poker Diary & a lifestyle one. I could read Diaries like that all day long, fascinating.

£2,000 Mini Hitman @ 8.30pm

@MRMYAGI took this down. Many years ago, in the early days of Online Poker, "MisterMiagi" was the online alias of a chap named Willie Tann, who many of you will have heard of & some will know. Don't know his age, but he must be well into his eighties by now, & he's still playing the circuit. He arrived in the UK in the 60's, from Singapore, & planned to study Law. Doubt he spent any time studying, he just played poker for the rest of his life. Did OK too, including a WSOP bracelet in around 2007, which I was table-side to watch. Some amusing tales emanate from that, but maybe they are for another day. Lives in leafy Hertfordshire. Here's Willie in his characteristic posture;

Might be something we could do again with other players if anyone is interested.

The first time I saw Mr Tann in the flesh was in the Vic casino in London, he was simultaneously playing 2 virtual roulette machines while playing the poker tournament, to say he's got some gamble in him is an understatement.

@cpfc_2010

Yes, fair to say Willie "likes a gamble".

Oh my, there are some stories awaiting the telling there.....

Great read as usual tikay.... have no idea what that rating means though??? If it means I’m half decent there’s been a mistake somewhere

It means exactly that, Sharkscope rates players between 50 and 100

Hi mate @jwrighty

"Rating" refers to the Rating that Sharkscope awards every player. It's a bit hit & miss, but essentially it's arrived at from the stats & data they have on all MTT &/or SNG players. The maximum rating is 100.

I'd say its more indicative than accurate.

Ha, that's perfectly logical.
