Afternoon.
Generally MTT traffic was decent, though nothing like the remarkable spike we saw on Friday.
In sport, the big news was Man U at last biting the bullet on Ole. Anyone care to speculate on how much his pay-off will be for failing to do his job well? Only in football do failures get so well rewarded. It's likely he can now sit at home for the next 3 years & be paid an 8 figure sum for doing so. Funny old game. If your boss sacked you for incompetence & gave you 3 years wages to sit at home, I guess you'd not shed too many tears.
Yesterday I posed the question about the 3 PL Managers making their debuts for their new clubs - how many points would they get between them? The answer was 7 from 9, with Gerrard (Villa) & Smith (Norwich) both getting off to a winning start, whilst Howe (Newcastle) could only collect one point, though to be fair Newcastle were playing one of the "Big Six", so there's some excuse.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£868)
I have very little info on 7 @ 7 winner SLANLEAT, but he seems to do quite well.
2nd was Karver, whilst Pedalpower nut-pedalled his way into 3rd.

TIMBER felled the Sharpy Main, collecting over £1,250.Here he is (below) at the Feb 2019 SPT Manchester (in the blue hoodie), going to war with Mr Channing. Can anyone name either of the two players to Mr Channing's right? Anyone else in the room you recognize?
As it happened, it was TIMBER's last hand, as he had the flush, but Mr Channing had the nuts.

BobaFett, a veteran of the live poker scene, & who hails from Edinburgh if I'm not mistaken, took the Mini. It may be a different BobaFett of course, but I think it's him. Last month he collected £33,000 when 4th at GUKPT Manchester.
Runner-up was Ninja, who won Thursday's 7 @ & as well as last Sunday's £6,000 BH.

Mr cabbaz was a busy boy last night - 4th in a £500 BH, 5th in Sheriff, 1st in Turbo & 6th in Quickdraw.
4th was Dooobs, who must be one of the few Bradford City fans here on Sky Poker, with Arrogant in 5th off the back of running 2nd to Palace in Sheriff.

£1,000 Quickdraw (£1,340)
Quickdraw went to lordbyron.
Did you know that the real Lord Byron was actually a bit of a weirdo, & that at the tender age of 8 had strong sexual attraction to not one but two of his cousins? He also had an incestuous relationship with his half-sister. He was a busy boy actually, as at the age of just 9....
When nine years old at his mother's house a Free Scotch girl (May, sometimes called Mary, Gray, one of his first caretakers) used to come to bed to him and play tricks with his person
Plays tricks with his person?
One wonders what sort of tricks. Magic, perhaps?

3-0 almost feels like a good result.
