Morning.
Some of you may be a little bleary-eyed this morning, and I'm certainly feeling a lack of zing & zap, so we'll keep the thread mercifully brief today.
I was quite surprised to see the Guarantees last night were unchanged, despite it being New Year's Eve. There were in fact small misses in Avenger Main & Reload, but that apart numbers were surprisingly good all things considered.
On the topic of Guarantees, please note that tonight's Sharpshooter Main has increased from £6,000 to £8,000. I've no idea if it can sustain that, but if it can't the remedy is easy.
In the New Year's Honours list, sport was well-represented, many of them Olympians. The top Honours went to Laura & Jason Kenny, holders of no less than 15 Gold Medals, 12 of them gold. Very rare to see a husband & wife team honoured at the same time I would have thought.
Jonathan Rea got an OBE, & even young Emma Raducanu made the list despite her tender years.
The Honours system receives much abuse, perhaps rightly so, but whilst it exists, there's no reason these young men & women should not be proud.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£980)
7 @ 7 winner Bonham73 only has low MTT volume here (less than 150) but seems to be doing quite nicely. Last appeared in the thread this time in 2021.

£6,000 Big Weekend Bounty Hunter (£6,300)
A fine BWBH victory for rankers. In 2021 he was twice a Sheriff winner, plus 2nd in Summit, so it looks like he he ended 2021 with his biggest win. By way of celebration. I see he was playing £100 & £200 Heads Up Speeds at 6 & 7am this morning. Did OK too.
24 hours after a terrific 13th in the UKOPS Main, IrishRose was 4th. There's not much here she has not won, & I know she has taken down at least 1 Sunday Major. I doubt she spends too much time studying training videos or droning on about blockers & ranges, she just plays it as she sees it & it works wonderfully. Most refreshing.

Big win for baxter21 in the Avenger Main, or Waller Invitational as it is sometimes called. baxter notched up 2021 wins in the late night trio of Turbo, Quickdraw & MidEx, as well as Sharpshooter Mini, but this was his first biggie I believe.
scotty77 seemed to end the year in fine form, & was 5th.

Almost 2 years since running 2nd in Sharpshooter Main, MkII took down the Mini Version. Had been absent here for 9 months until returning on Xmas Eve, & played a handful of UKOPs without success, before registering the win here.

RUTSTER used to be a frequent winner of the now defunct £1k BH @ 7.30pm, but that's all the info I have as he's "not available" on Sharky & other than those £1k BH's, nothing comes up on Forum search.
In 4th was MAGPIETYKE who had an excellent December, winning both 7 @ 7 & Quickdraw, as well as 2nd in a £6,000 BH.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£1,500)
whitters seems to be on a never ending upswing. Won at least 4 Mains in the last 4 months, and as recently as this week was runner up to PokaBayb9 in a £15,000 UKOPS.
2nd was RCord, who won 7 @ 7 just 24 hours earlier.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,500)
Returning after a 5 day absence, & single-tabling, daly07 made his thread debut with a Reload win.
Gotta love the alias of the player in 6th. I had a look on google images to see if I could find a suitable picture, only to quickly realise that was probably a bad idea. It's very odd that so many people find sexual innuendo funny. Why is that, I wonder?

£1,000 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,200)
Now this is an alias & a half - Mr_God. Love it, although I suspect feminists may well be displeased. Has a very solid CV, including a Sharpshooter Main.
Arguably the night's toughest FT too, with roddy, loosecamel & Mean Machine all involved.

£1,000 Quickdraw (£1,320)
utang, missing most of December, has won several Turbo but beat another good FT to take Quickdraw.
Mean Machine & roddy, who clashed in the Turbo FT, were both involved again, joined this time by Mr Arrogant, who made the Sheriff FT.
As an aside here, if I had to pick a "Forum Thread of the Year", the thread Mr Arrogant made about staking might be top of my list. Even now I can't decide if it was legit, or just a tremendous troll. I'm going to assume it was legit.

CABBAGE130 took the final Sky Poker MTT of 2021 - or more correctly, I suppose, the first MTT of 2022.
