Good morning.
This glorious weather is all well and good, but it's no good for poker, & once again it was all a bit uphill yesterday. Mega (£20), Sheriff (£300) & Quickdraw (£250) all missed, so that was £570 which has disappeared never to be seen again, & for which nobody accrued any real benefit. On a happier note, Main & Mini both did reasonably well.
As it happens GGPoker would love to swap with Sky Poker right now. The WSOP Online glitches they experienced over the weekend, & which were caused by a cruel combination of problems, some of which were outwith their control, resulted in them getting thoroughly beat up on Twitter yesterday by folks who were not really interested in seeing both sides of the coin & don't appear to understand the complexities of running a poker site. Tough gig, keeping poker players happy. Probably best to blame Danny Negreanu for everything that went wrong, that usually works. Oh, wait, they already did.

£1,000 Bounty Hunter (£1,380)
ufud has had a whole bunch of cashes recently, including 3rd in an £8,000 BH for £575, but this looks to be his first win in some time.

There are days when it's hard work writing these reports, but when someone like SJspanky binks big it is always a pleasure. He's been here since the start, & while 80% of his volume is DYM's, 90% of his profit comes from MTT's. He's a kindly sort too, a few years ago I dabbled with playing NLH DYM's & he was good enough to demonstrate how bad I was by taking all my money with alarming alacrity but wonderful manners. Always looks after your best customers, eh? Top bloke, for sure.

Well done Bakers12, a win was exactly what he kneaded, & I believe this was his best ever result here. He also ran 3rd in a £1k BH a few days earlier.
Darty continues to be in fine fettle, another good score, with The Bates 3rd & SzaryPolak 5th.

£1,500 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,500)
mushroom1, one of the best horse racing judges on our Forum, loves a Mega Stack, & he got home ahead of Szary Polak (2nd FT of the evening), with Arrogant, who I saw described yesterday as the best player on the site, also making his 2nd Final, in 6th.

And it's that Arrogant man again, his 3rd FT of the session. Tough FT too, with Team Heavy Hitter well in evidence.

ValueJL is super profitable from a small sample size, & I noticed he plays the occasional £200 Heads Up Turbo DYM, he's played 8 of them in the last few months, winning 5. I've no idea how often those things run, but I doubt it's too often.
Another FT for mushroom in 5th, ditto NooGooood in 6th.

Mean Machine has been quiet of late, though showed signs of a return to form when he ran 2nd in last Friday's BWBH before booking this one. It was a 3rd FT of the evening for NooGooood, & a 2nd for Monty15.

Great write ups as usual
It might be time for Sky Poker to invest some time into looking at the satellite trees (IMHO). For the bigger games to survive, they need to be designed better to get 'bums on seats' for the target events.

Thanks for the kind words Tony. it's been an ambition of mine to appear in these write ups since you started doing them and I've failed miserably up to now bar a few freeroll winnings. Nice to break the duck with a W. Hopefully I'll appear again somewhere around Xmas 2023 if I can maintain this strike rate.
@SJspanky1
That made my day, thanks mate & very well done.
