Morning.
Weather impacted traffic again last night, though it could have been worse - over on 'Stars they had big problems & had to cancel the Anniversary Sunday Storm. To compound the pain, there was some serious overlay in it too.
Today is going to be very interesting too - the so-called "Freedom Day". How will this affect online poker traffic? We shall see soon enough, but it's not going to be pretty, is it?
A really full day of sport yesterday, with controversy in the F1 British GP at Silverstone which resulted in a spectacular prang & some serious handbags.
No such controversy at The Open, where we were treated to a fabulous Day Four. If that was not the best TV ever, I don't know what is.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£952)
7 @ 7 was probably the best performing Featured MTT of the night, things went a little south later in the evening. A terrific win for Daily Forum Comp regular Telmison74.
Essexphil was 4th, & OldTimer 5th. Wonder which of those two is the oldest?

A very pleasing day for kingloui3, winning a mid-afternoon £300 BH to collect £120 then following it up big time by taking down the £6,000 BH & a lovely £1,050.
MrKey locked up 2nd, Dooobs 4th & Jscorgie 6th.

£12,000 Sunday Major (£12,100)
The Major fell to high stakes MTT-er trusoldier. Has twice won Summit & pretty much only plays £100 affairs here.
grinddd was 2nd, with style2737, another super high roller in both Online & Live tournaments, third. Back in the days of the TV Shows he featured in Top Of The Pots almost every week.
Despite being under a COVID cloud, PBKR managed fourth.
I'm not sure we should ever feel sorry for players who suffer beats, it's part of the game, but I managed a few seconds of sadness on behalf of Shrimpy, who took a monster beat when down to three tables, getting it in with villain needing a three-outer which arrived on the river. Win that & he'd be huge chippy. Such is poker.

£1,500 Mini Major (£1,550)
cobber36 took the Mini Major. Last MTT they played an MTT here was four long months ago, & that was also the Mini-Major.
Serial-casher darsh was third, with IamAll_En 5th.
In 4th was craigcu12, who was not a million miles away from a Final Table Jackpot bink, as he made the last four tables of the Major.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,240)
Szary is having a decent July, having already won a Mini, FT'd a Main, and now adds Mega.
2nd in the Mini Major, darsh was third here.
In 4th was Arrogant, who has had a terrific few weeks.
Busting in 6th was wothef, though I'm sure he took it in good grace.

rossybee would have been a little disappointed to make the FT of the Major, only to exit in 6th, but took Sheriff by way of consolation.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,500)
Reload was won by Boneyard, which gives me the chance to shoehorn in some trivia. "Boneyard" is an American term to describe airfields where disused aircraft, mostly ex-military, are stored. I could stare at this photo for hours in absolute awe. Think of the wasted money there. Literally billions of dollars worth.

MidEx went to Potsnacker for the second time in four nights.
Shrimpy, so unlucky in the Major, came up just short of the win. Not his night I guess.

By tradition, & rightly so, this goes to the Sunday Major winner;
@trusoldier
As suggested by @MAXALLY a few days ago, what better way to mark Freedom Day than this?
Shrimpy 4-bet shoved on me early on. On a 10 9 2 rainbow board. I had 10 10. And I lost
This was a bit of a milestone for me. At the end of May after 5 losing months in a row I found myself £8,200 down for the year, Given I haven't been working for a while, this was a bit of a blow. I seriously thought about setting myself a -£8,200 to £0 challenge and starting a thread for it. To be fair, I didn't think I'd make it to even by the end of the year, and my real aim was just to stop the bleeding. The forum seemed full of new challenge threads, so I gave it a miss.
Anyway, if I ignore some training I paid for in March, last night I made my way up to a massive +£50 for the year. I think I must have won more tournaments since the beginning of June than I did in the previous 5 months and if anything I have cut volume down.
From now on, I will probably be cutting down volume a bit more still as I started looking much harder for a job by the end of May, so not only have I replenished my accounts, but I am going to have some regular earnings coming in from next month. It is probably a good thing, as I was likely getting a bit spewy again. Maybe I need a £50 to £50 challenge by the end of the year to keep the discipline?
Anyway, hope you are well and guess you won't see me playing the midnight express much going forward,
Lovely post David, thank you.
I don't keep precise track of these things but sensed you had done rather better in the last month or so. Less volume, more wins, sounds a plan to me.
If we see less of you going forward, we'll assume the world of actuaries has reclaimed you.
Did you have a bet or two on the Golf?
I struggle to get a bet on anything these days, now I am limited to a couple of hundred quid max win, so only had a couple of bets. The betting sites saved me a few quid as one missed the cut and the other was nearer last than first.
Did you watch the F1? I was really hoping that someone pointed out to Horner that his driver is Max Verstappen. He may be very talented, but is clearly pretty aggressive in his driving style and has taken out more than his share of other drivers over the last couple of years. Loved how Lewis did pretty much the same thing to get Leclerc at the end. Was definitely an above average race.
Do you ever hear from Marc Wright, I haven't seen him for a while, which may well account for some of my upswing too.
Yes, real pot & kettle stuff for Team Max to accuse others of over-aggressive racing. I was quite surprised at how emotive Horner got about it.
Like him or not, Lewis is some driver, & the whole thing never seemed to bother him.
Mark Wright? Not seen him on the site for several months. I'll ask Mr Bates, he know him very well.
