    Here's the trophy the winner can display on his mantelpiece, assuming he has a mantelpiece. Not sure I've seen one in years. Anyone here got a mantelpiece? Anyone here know what a mantelpiece is?

    I’m curious Chris? @chrisdonkb

    What did you use the larger empty bag for in the end? 👹😜

    (Well played btw!)

    Sorry...what I forgot to say last night-so tired- is that Sky shouldn't under estimate what a great, sociable atmosphere there is at these events; which is down to the great way the forum is run by Tony, the flexible approach by Sky James/Sam when there are issues which people have in attending and the overall good camaderie by players on line with chat and at the events, which has a positive effect

    My personal view is the 'aggressive overtones' I've experienced at tables in casinos by the locals and regulars starts to diminish when 2/3 sky players chat when playing live!

    Before the bubble burst, James lmfaoallin, Corey miniman and I were chatting as normal and you feel the rest of the table relax a bit and join in

    Long may they continue!

    Thanks again guys and look forward to seeing you all again in Brighton! (only 1 exc. mark at a time) ;)

    Ha! I doubt he plays much poker. He honestly looks under 18 and prob fed up getting id'd. Good thing at his age mind.

    I don't know if he's pj or if he's Duncan but he's the other one. Not forehead/alcoholic guy.

    They present Britain's Got Talent. So does Alesha Dixon. I've seen both this weekend so I'm presuming that was on in Manchester. You've missed your chance if you wanted to enter!

    Manchester really is a buzzing city.

    Madprof has just hit a Straight Flush when 9h came on River, 7h-8h-x on flop, he was holding Jh-Th .......and he got paid ;)

    He's on 43K

    Genuinely..One of my mention weak strengths is how to get best value/bet so any advice on bet sizing for the above hand would be mucho appreciated...

    Context

    100/200, raised to 600 preflop- I called ( early doors and they look so pretty) 3 handed to the flop
    Pot 1800

    Flop gave me gut shot straight flush draw and flush draw, I bet 2100, I call- heads up pot 6k

    Turn Qh giving me the flush , 1 bet 2100, he calls..pot now 10,200

    River 9h( yes I made a mess in me pants) 🤪I just knew he would bet so I checked....Should I have raised here and how much to a pot of 10,200....what gobsmacked then was HIS bet size...600

    I re-raised to 6k, representing either a steal or a flush or I don’t know what I’m doing( please delete as appropriate), hoping he has the K or the A of hearts, he calls with a K flush then sulks a little SO

    Where and how could I have got more chips via my bet sizing? Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t unhappy about the outcome but given his bet size and now knowing he had the King flush, what size of bet on the turn or the river might have induced him to go over the top OR

    did I get lucky with his call on the river.....thoughts?🤔 @MattBates ?? You’re normally good at making me put in more chips than I think I should

    Thanks in anticipation 💩

    You took a direct dig at the site 10 minutes ago. You might have amnesia.

    Lovely to see so many runners at the SPT. Only downside was that unable to chat to Tony-that and the 10 hour journey home.

    Well done for a well-run tournament, and for the excellent commentary on this thread.
    And particularly @madprof for cashing.

    See you in Brighton.

    No. But in your case we'd all like to make an exception.

    You live in topsy turvy land or something? Ppl don't get frustrated with you for not praising the site. The frustration stems from you constantly accusing Sky Poker of having nefarious intentions.
