Morning.
MTT traffic had been sluggish since the weekend's SPT, but it bounced back big time last night with good numbers across the board, most of which were up w-o-w. Hitman Main made 5 figures, £10,260, 10% up w-o-w. Maybe a good weekend in prospect.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,344)
spearsy, in his 12th year at Sky Poker, has had some good scores this year, including 2nd in Reload & 8th in last Friday's BWBH. Now he adds 7 @ 7 to his growing portfolio.

The only surprise here is that it's the first (featured) win by Super_Oli for over a week. He's completed the 7.30 £1,000 BH Trifecta now too, having finished 1st, 2nd & 3rd in it in the last week or so.
runner-up neenio has a gorgeous looking Sharky graph, just relentlessly profitable. He won Reload a couple of nights ago.
In 4th was TTayseer, who then ran 5th in Sheriff later in the evening.

The extraordinary rise & rise of newdaddy continues. Just 5 weeks into 2021, he's already won the Main twice, Turbo twice, Quickdraw twice, & been 2nd & 3rd in Sunday Major. Excluding one time binks such as SPT Online, has anyone had a better 2021 in Sky Poker MTT's? He sits 2nd in the Sharky Leaderboard, behind hughjarse9 (obv) but ahead of Crushy.
StayOrGo was 2nd, & Melty 4th.
Just missing the Final was Toffeeandy, but as Everton beat Leeds the other night he's had enough glory for this week.

£2,000 Mini Hitman (£2,325)
Playing just his 4th MTT of 2021, brucey took down the Mini, which was nice to see, to see nice.
Runner-up MrKey won a Main 3 weeks ago, but has yet to hit the form that saw him take a whole series of big scores in the Spring of last year.

Mega went to djsnorlax. His 2020 graph is really odd, he seemed to suffer a really bad downswing in the Autumn then got out of in one one foul swoop when running 2nd in Sunday Major.
diceable28 threw a 2, which is not ideal. His best result was in last September's inaugural SPT Online when he finished 15th for some £700.

£2,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£3,550)
8 nights ago, memfno won a satellite to Predator Main & went home with £1,500+ after taking it down. Rinse-repeat last night, entering two £3 All-In satellites to Sheriff, winning the 2nd, & then taking Sheriff proper for close to £1,100. He wrote last week that he was hoping for a good run in SPT Online & maybe make Day 2. Well he fell just short of Day 2 but picked up over £450 in bounties, so I'd say that went pretty well. He must be absolutely buzzing at the moment & I'm delighted for him.

No intro needed for this great intro;
Sabotage by Frusciante on the guitar, who was struggling in the band, wanted out of the limelight and would leave soon after, before returning many years later.
Suffice to say, Kiedis was apparently steaming at this; back in 1992 they were far from the huge band we know now, and this was a prime Saturday night slot to showcase their talents to a wide audience. Not the ideal time or place for the guitarist to go all rogue on the rest of the group.
Turned out alright for them in the end though.
I saw them for free in Doncaster on their 'Stadium Arcadium' tour back in 2005 maybe?
Got offered a ticket by a neighbour the night before the gig, but would need to throw a sickie at work to attend the next day. Problem was I'd been at work all day without issue, so I needed an ailment that they couldn't really contest.
When backed into this corner, just pull out the excuse they can't argue with; I had the sh1ts and couldn't make it in.
@hhyftrftdr
Didn't Frusciante leave & return about 3 times?
Big Keidis fan here, his book (Scar Tissue) is a jaw-dropper. God knows how he's still alive & functioning though.
Incredibly talented band. I'm not a fan of all their stuff and the album that sent them into the stratosphere, By The Way, I really couldn't warm to at the time. Maybe I'd appreciate it a bit more now I'm older. But individually they are all so talented, no weak links in the line up.
I started his book many years ago but never got round to finishing it, something I definitely need to revisit. He's had a very colourful life, as have all the members, amazing they got this far in all honesty.
Scar Tissue (the song) is about Frusciante.....''sarcastic Mr know-it-all....''
@hhyftrftdr
There's been a superb 4 part series on, I think, Sky Arts "The Art of Drumming" in which the RHCP drummer Chad Smith features prominently. He might just be the coolest & best-looking dude on the planet.
To have such hand/feet co-ordination is incredible, but they make it look so effortless.
I know you shared a cover of Green Day recently with someone covering the drums.
Tre is a great drummer, but it's probably hard to look past Travis Barker of Blink 182 as the best there is.
Personally I rank him in my top 10 rock drummers.
Probably (definitely) even worse a performance than the one from SNL.
If looks could kill at the end....
Ha, feel the tension.
