I already did, Ryan, & got a bit of a black eye. I'll mention it again, but as I suggested yesterday, it's not so much this MTT itself, I suspect it's a wider thing really, designed to protect the Mini at 8.30, which has an identical price point & is a cornerstone of the nightly schedule & very important for the lower stakes players.

No worries then @Tikay10, I didn't realise you had already mentioned it.

*@MynaFrett is out of the gate strong with a win in the £100 Rebuy. I said when he joined that he was one to watch and he has so far failed to meet those expectations. Will this be his week? Week 3 winner @Drudkh is off to a strong start with 4th in the Mini Marksman and 4th in an earlier Bounty Hunter, good enough for 121 points and an early lead. He usually either wins the whole thing or gets zero points, so I'm going out on a limb and predicting it will be a good week for him. @lewjax79 finished third last week and he's right back at it with the full 100 points in the £200 BH. **Starting the week in fourth place is @Duesenberg. Anyone know anything about this guy? Haven't seen him score any points before, probably just some fish.
* Scathing. Giving me flashbacks of school reports and parents' evenings - I'm trying my best Mum, I'm trying my best.
** Very much a fun player.
Congratulations on your deep run in the main last night @NOSTRI , GG.
I have decided not to take part this week. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this range of tournies over the last 4 weeks and I congratulate the organisers on a well run league, especially Nostri. No offence Ryan. I'm afraid, at my age, I do not have the stamina that you youngsters enjoy, lasting until 1.10am having started at 6.30pm, and another til after midnight (both last week), is quite a stint for me. So I will "rest" this week and come back firing on all cylinders next week. In the meantime good luck to all who take part.
By the way well done MAXALLY (Alan) on winning the last league. For those of you who may not know, some years ago Sky invited ideas for "new" tournaments through the Forum. One idea was the "Mini", now a very important part of the Sky tournament offering. That idea came from MAXALLY.

Thank you Gordon. Take care Sir, and come back refreshed with all guns blazing.
Good morning. It was pointed out on the forum recently that there is a player using the alias potamophobia, the fear of rivers, which I found rather amusing, so here are some other phobias poker players may experience:
Agyrophobia - fear of streets
anablephobia - fear of looking up
Atephobia - Fear of ruin
Ballistophobia - Fear of bullets
Chirophobia - Fear of hands
Ichthyophobia - Fear of fish
Kleptophobia - Fear of stealing
Plutophobia - Fear of wealth
Rhabdophobia - Fear of being severely punished
Sinistrophobia - Fear of things to the left
I have a bit of Ichthyophobia myself. But enough of that nonsense. Excellent results last night.
The MML gang showed us how it's done in the £100 Rebuy, occupying half of the final table seats. No surprise that @stokefc took that one down. @Boxster got himself on the board for his first full week of the league with a 2nd in the Nightly Micro. And final tables for @engy, @pomfrittes, my nemesis @MAXALLY, and @Gp1991. Well done to all.
That's going to see @lewjax79 jump into first with a modest lead over @Drudkh, who appears to have taken the night off. @stokefc into third, and @Boxster in fourth. Poor old @MynaFrett gets squeezed out of the top four after finishing Monday on second. Early doors though, so plenty of time for upsets.
Spare a thought today for @mumsie who put in a impressive performance in the £110 Summit Bounty Hunter satelites but went out second in the event itself in an ugly spot. Back to the micros for you, @mumsie.

I'm in agreement with Tikay. Particularly enjoyed this list and it will also be providing me with my Unibet aliases from this day forward. I come down with chronic ballistophobia every time I'm holding KK and chips start flying around pre flop. Sinistrophobia is a very clever one too. GG.

Let me know please & then I can get it sorted.

As always, a lovely write up, I do enjoy the eclectic excursions, which embraced phobias today.
A little harsh on @MynaFrett though, who went very deep indeed in the Escalating Freeroll, finishing well inside the top 61.

I've skimmed through the thread but not read it all. Do results still need to be submitted via the form?
