Morning.
This day last year
The Main was taken by @sam1234 who has just 600 games here but has had some smashing results, including 1st in a £10k UKOPS for £4,200, 3rd in an SPT Online for £5,200, & 3rd in a £25k UKOPS for £1,500. Runner-up was @DabVPoker, who collected almost £600, which I'm sure will come in handy. @thisltedu & @2Geronimo both did well, 3rd & 5th respectively.
Until last night, the best win by @fRAISEr84 was a £400 BH, but he took down the Mini for what appears to be a PB.
@bossquaid won MidEx for the 2nd time in a week & 5th time in total, he's won Reload 3 or 4 times too.
The opening £1k BH went to @platinum4, a nice way to celebrate 10 years here.
@Tilting took 7 @ 7 for the 2nd time in 9 days. Is nicely profitable at these stakes. Meanwhile, there was a 1-2 for @maccol, won it on Tuesday, 2nd last night.
Really pleased to see Pommy @pomfrittes win the PLO8, a game which seems particularly suited to our older friends. Shame we don't see him on the Forum these days though.This day 2 years ago
The Sky Poker massive were out & about yesterday.
In the GUKPT Fessie at The Vic, our very own @Essexphil played the £500 buy-in 6-Max Championship & finished 4th for £3,300.Meanwhile much much further away, all the way over in Las Vegas, @IrishRose had a nice result at The Venetian, 4th in a $200 BH.Where are they now?
@pomfrittes got a mention above, but has barely played this year & not at all since June. Anyone heard from him?
Comments
Considering there was so much high-class football on TV, including Arsenal in the CL, I thought numbers were ok, with the Main making £5,040, 14% up on last year's £4,440.
Winner of the Main was the curiously-aliased @leftarmove. I'm guessing he is a bowler who was one character short of "left arm over". Quite low volume considering he's been here 13 years, & only returned last week from a 6 month absence. Not his maiden Main win though, he won a Hitman Main in October 2018, & a Sheriff in September 2019.
2nd was @67912092 who is mainly a cash game player, a big one too. Only played 93 MTT's but has a Sky Poker ABI of £89.77 which is about as high as I've ever seen on this site.
5th was @NOSTRI & it was good to see him back as he's been pretty much off-grid since the Autumn UKOPS ended.
@4kingboss took the Mini, so two wins in 24 hours as he won a £400 BH the night before. Humour - especially in the written form - is so subjective. When we had the TV Channel all the Presenters & Analysts - especially the dreaded Orford - used to think phonetic aliases such as 4kinghell & flops such as J-K off & so on were hilarious whilst I sat there stony-faced. It all seems so juvenile to me. I expect 12 year olds to find it amusing, grown-ups, not so much. A quick peruse of Sharky suggests we have at least 20 aliases that start with "4king". I kind of imagine that what they hope to get for Christmas is a Whoopee Cushion & one of those baseball caps with a dog **** on the peak. Meh, maybe I've just become old & grumpy. Apologies if I've offended anyone, & I very much hope you enjoy watching Mrs Brown's Boys & Miranda at Christmas.
Morris707 took the 9 @ 9, & if I'm not mistaken, that's the first time he's done so. Won plenty else besides though, including 5 Mains.
Attempting to complete a 3 day hat-trick of 9 @ 9 podiums @snoxx11 made a brave effort but came up just short in 13th.
Quite a thin night for the Big Boys, with only @AlexaAJ (Turbo) & @StayOrGo (Quickdraw) registering victories.
The SPT actually ran last night, with @__Assassin booking his first seat & @bigfatfish winning his 3rd.
That's it for today. If you plan to venture out, wrap up, it's super-cold & we have snow here in Derbyshire.

First time live for 18 months. Day 1 was online. Only 6 left at the Vic.
And I played really badly😀
We could almost certainly cut crime dramatically in this country by showing these in every prison cell for 12 hours a day 7 days a week, no one would ever re offend, but the European Court of Human Rights probably wouldn't let us.

Spot on Tuney.
Imagine being forced to watch either - or both - of those Shows. Does not bear thinking about.
Be a bit like being on a long-haul flight to, say, Vegas or Sydney & finding oneself sat next to... (think I'd best leave that blank).
