Considering the weather, which is seriously bad for Online Poker at the moment, the numbers were not too bad last night with the Main, Mini & Quickdraw all beating target by ~15%.
The Billy Let-Down was Sheriff though, which missed by 7 runners, or £350. That does not sound much, but on a £2,000 G'tee it's enormous.
SPT Brighton semi came in at 14, a tad shy of target, but which seems almost to be the default number for it.
Dreading tonight's numbers with this mini-heatwave kicking in. Fill yer boots boys, fill yer boots.

£6,000 Marksman Main (£6,900)
Long-standing Sky Poker regular goldnballz scooped the win & some £1,300. Think he's been here for 8 years or more & has always been profitable. Like most good players, he never comes on here hooting & hollering after he gets outdrawn or has a bit of a downswing, he just takes it on the chin like a proper grown-up. When I read those oh-so-tiresome "it's not fair, my pocket Queens got beat" posts on here I really do have to bite my tongue. It's a game for grown-ups, & if we don't have the character or mental fortitude to take our beats then poker is not the game for us, & we should go play Chess, or Angry Birds or whatever.
And breathe. Anyway, well done mate.
SueF began the day by winning the Midnight Express, then ran 6th in this, & finished up by running 7th in a tenner BH. Good day's work, that.

£1,500 Mini Marksman (£1,880)
Haz12353 was on fire. 2nd in a little BH at 5.30pm, won a tenner BH that started at 8.15, then won this.
In 4th, playing his first MTT for 4 months, was Sandstorm. There's a terrible pun there somewhere, but even I can't stoop that low today.
Yet another Final for tomgoodun, probably about his 70th of 2019.

The best thing about The Bates winning a Headline MTT is that I don't need to write anything, as you all know everything about him. It'd been ages since he won a Sky Poker MTT - 28 hours to be precise. What a life.@MattBates 115000 1 £287.50 + £292.57 Head Prizes 8
