When I set up this challenge it was really for myself as those are the games I play the most. The addition of other players was really for the £50 freeroll i'm chucking in, plus now Tikay's tournament ticket.
I'll see how we get on in the first few months, and if we're still sitting on 1 or 2 wins then I can tinker with it. It was more of a side comp to the diary i'll be keeping along the way of profit/loss whilst trying to win as many of the 9 on the list.
anyway as I write this, 6/7 in the main and 5/5 in FTT 3
I think we should all remember this is PKRPar's challenge and we have all hijacked it. It's my belief it's his personal challenge and he should decide which tournies he wants to include. I'm just grateful he has asked us all to join in. Thanks PKRPar.
crossed paths with my message above Appreciate everyones participations and comments though
Fell a little short tonight, only played FTT 1 2 and 3 and the mini. Didn’t seem to be any 5 or 11 BHs that would make >100 runners and I was too late for the 7 at 7.
Going to make a note of my PBs
FTT1 6th FTT2 12th FTT3 7th Mini 75th
GL everyone, good to see some wins on the board already
I completely get that this is a personal challenge for @PKRPar and we're all just coming along for the ride with him.
I didn't mean to sound like a demanding diva and hope that the main takeaway of my post was something like "hey Sky, what at great idea for a promo this is!".
Am railing the Main FT now so glgl - 2 wins in a month would be epic!
Just finished 2nd in FTT2, rivered after what I think was a pretty poor shove from the winner (below); so near & yet so far; a miserable 68th & 23rd in the other 2....
So jumped into the main event (+one £7.20 sat attempt) , mini event and late regged the FTT 3 tournaments last night and had some success, although fell short of a victory.
In the mini I bombed out pretty quickly so that was that. In the FTT3 I managed to get to FT along with @68Trebor, with @bbMike FT bubbling and @Ironpump1 finishing 9th. Sadly I didn't manage to take it down and finished in 3rd place picking up £11.57 including bounties. It was good, some would say not so good, to see @68Trebor lock this one up and he's off the mark.
In the Main event I played pretty well, self confessed, however also had a lot of luck at good times. For example I cracked AA twice, once with QQ and the other time with 1010, hitting my card both times. Losing the QQ hand would have knocked me out. Anyway, i found this "last 12" players a lot harder than my maiden victory last week. Managed to get to the FT and ended up in 4th picking up £237.85 in cashes and £92.11 in bounties. I had no complaints about knockout hand. My AQ v the KK of @lyonsbob06.
The stats
Total buyins = £64.20
Cashed = £249.42 Bounties = £93.11
Total cost of Operation Unicorn 2: +£278.33
Best Results: Main Event 4th - 27 January 2020 FTT3 3rd - 27 January 2020

Off and running!
Proper write up tomorrow when not so tired. AQ v KK the exit hand. No complaints.
Well done @68Trebor
Think you just suffered the worst beat of this Challenge so far - that MTT you won only had 97 runners. Oh for 3 more entries.

I think @68Trebor has ticked off one of the elusive FTT MTTs with this win.
@Enut @68Trebor
Ahh yes, so it is.
My bad, happy to be wring on this occasion, sorry mate.
