7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£875)
hewley has been here 5 or 6 years, & apart from 4th in a MidEx 18 months ago has never made the Results Thread until winning last night's 7 @ 7, though to be fair volume has been light. Congrats hewley, hope you win another soon.
In 2nd was spearsy136, who has been a little subdued since an exceptional January when he won a Mini & two Reloads.

Until last night, the best results by mcg899 in the last 5 months was 3 Sheriff wins, so this was a lovely boost. Spent 8 years & 6,000 MTT's here from 2011 making £5,000, since when another 2,700 MTT's have yielded over £40,000 of profit, a stunning improvement.
A fine effort too by MynaFrett, who remains much missed for their excellent forum contributions.

derrrp is not a player who features here very often at all but is a season ticket holder in the Mini & booked the win last night, his first ever featured MTT win.
In 5th was Natnug, who went on to book a win double later in the evening.
GREGSTER only finished 6th but took more head prizes than any of the other 298 runners - 15 - which was also more than twice as many as the winner.

FeNdeR36 struck all the right notes last night to win Mega, his first ever £22 MTT win as far as I can see. Has a ton of good form in the book though including an unusual trio of Mini wins - a regular Mini, a Mini Major & a UKOPS Mini.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£1,500)
Another in the long list of excellent nights for Natnug, winning both Sheriff & MidEx, and won his Sheriff entry via an All-In Sat for good measure. It was some night for him, 1st in Sheriff, 1st in Midex, 5th in the Mini, 3rd in Reload, 3rd in a £1,000 Rebuy & won a post-midnight Timed. Rare to see anyone with that many FT's in a single session.
Always a pleasure to see Cheezy do well, and he was another who gained entry via a £3 All-In Sat & he went on to run 4th for £160.
RiverDonS, who won a MidEx last week, was 6th.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,749)
Reload winner Han94x has some decent scores including a Sheriff in January & two Mains - Hitman & Gold Rush - last year. Not bad for someone with an ABI of less than a fiver. Was 4th in MidEx too. Incidentally, it was a year to the very day since he won that Hitman Main so a nice way to celebrate the anniversary.

This day last year
After @destinycod won Quickdraw, I wrote...
"The Codster won this. I'm increasingly convinced he is one of the best MTT-ers on the site but does not always fully apply himself. Sort of like the poker equivalent of Dele Alli or Paul Pogba - supremely gifted but sometimes cba."
And there was an Honourable Mention for @Shrimpy28

Things you love to see on returning to the forum after a year away: Tikay is still the heartbeat and ticking over very nicely and @misterpj has given up the endless stream of "bad beat" nonsense posts and now has a couple of informed, insightful and entertaining threads. Happy days.
@mcg899 was terrific last night from final two tables to the finish. It was a perfect display of how to read the situation/dynamics/stack distributions across the two tables and then exploit it at every profitable opportunity. It's no exaggeration to say I was almost completely handcuffed and essentially folded my way to 2nd place in this one. It was also one of those rare occasions where you finish 2nd in a small field tournament but there isn't even the slightest feeling of disappointment at coming up one place short of the win.
You recently said that I had gone on to "bigger things", Tikay, and described me coming back to play these £33 Sky mains as "picking low hanging fruit"... not entirely accurate. These £33 games are my highest buy-in and whilst my ABI has increased from the £6 or £7 it used to be (when £5.50 games on Sky were a large part of my schedule) it is still only around the $15-$20 mark and I'm not exactly crushing the games on the sites with the bigger fields and better players.
I had a brief spell of being coached/staked for bigger games (a few months at the end of '20 beginning of '21) but things declined after a promising start. I chickened out after a bad patch and left the arrangement to drop back down in stakes and play for myself again.
It was January '21 when I uninstalled Sky after finally losing patience with all the software issues which were having too much of an impact on my sessions, affecting my other sites/tables as well. I came back to the forum last month out of curiosity to see if new software had been rolled out (no) or whether new software was imminent (no) or if there had been any kind of announcement (no) or any information or update on the situation at all (no). It's all good. I don't feel as passionately about it as I once did. I won't download the Sky client again in its current and unchanged state nor go back to multi-tabling here, but, to be honest, I haven't experienced any crashes or freezes at all whilst playing the one Sky table in the browser alongside my other sites/tables these past few weeks - obviously still regularly missing the first hand at a new table and sometimes your new table not loading automatically and having to find it and load it from the lobby and also getting infrequent lag but those aren't the game breaking bugs and I can just about live with those.
Apologies for the unsolicited wall of text and TMI (giving Doubleme a run for his money with this one) but just thought I would say hello and give a little update as you had mentioned me a few times Tikay. Take care.
Terrific update & great to hear from you @MynaFrett
Thank you.
I'm happy to see that both you and Nostri have been doing very well on here in the last 12 months. GG's and all the best.
