    @maxally - avid reader. I really do hope you turn a profit. BUT, as long as you enjoy + its within your br, its win win. BTW how do you decide which ones NOT to play?

    Cheers mate...appreciated.

    It is usually the larger BI games which I swerve if I don't manage to satellite into. I am playing most of the £11/£22/£33 ones though, whether I satellite in or have to buy in direct. Hence, my accounts show how much I spend on Buy In's, not necessarily the actually buy in. If that makes sense.

    Hi Alan
    Was good to share the last couples tables with you, well played getting there ( lucky s... 😉)
    Kudos for your reaction to being rivered when aipf when you dominated , maybe try that PL08 one later - it will defo suit your game , and you never get rivered by worse hands

    ( by never , I mean 2% of the time you don’t get rivered )

    Good luck for the rest of UKOPS

    Cheers Tom. Well played yourself too Sir. Yep, enjoyed that game. There are more worrying things to occupy us all nowadays than any bad beats on a poker table. My new 'work in progress' philosophy is to just smile...make notes...and have another slurp on my can ;)

    I might play that pl08 later, but only if I satellite in .

    Hope you and yours are well. Good Luck to you too for the rest of UKOPS. Rumour has it that there is a MINI one coming up soon too. (but dont tell anyone I told you that)

    Cheers again,
    Alan

    5 days in & you are only (only?) £125 in the hole.

    Would you have taken that before it started?

    Genuine question by the way, not a dig. Even the very best players can drop big money during an online series.

    Morning Tikay, I hope you and Gill are well Sir.

    Only -£125. Would you have taken that before it started?

    Absobloodlylutely. I have sort of set myself a budget for this but did not want to disclose it prior to the start, which would have put added pressure on me.

    I still know that I am realistically going to 'fail' this challenge. Sky bet go bigger odds on this than having a MINI UKOPS. ;)

    I am just going to take it one day at a time and see where it goes. I will however quit if the time is right to do so. I also realise there are a couple of folks who would love to see me fail/make a big loss and jump all over that fact. Thankfully, there are a lot more folks hoping I succeed (I hope).

    When does Mini Ukops start BTW?

    Cheers,
    Alan
    Genuine question
    You’d really have taken being down at this point before UKOPS started?
    It just seems a bit defeatist to me

    I see no reason why you shouldn’t make a profit
    I think right now your game is pretty suited to those mtts and how people are playing
    You’re very patient and while outcomes like the one with QQ v 42 will happen, mostly you’ll win those

    Earlyish evening report. Was actually getting tired tonight playing the last few events and was more interested in watching Quantum Leap on forces TV than the poker. I really dont think I should have played the last event. I didnt realise it was a 'hyper rebuy manic tournament' . The play was just crazy at times. Had two really good players on my opening table though in Marc Railtard & Alves. It played out like a cash game (imo).

    Day 6 accounts....

    Cheers. Thanks for the rail too. I must have inspired you to your bink last night in the unicorn Challenge. You do learn from watching better players ;)

    Are you mad?

    It was a one off. Normal drinking routines will resume again tonight. Probably normal results too ;)

    Cheers mate.
