"Despite misses in both Main & Mini, I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see that @TimmyRaRa won the Main. In 17 years with Sky Poker I've met all sorts, good & bad, made a lot of pals & a few enemies, but it's hard to think of many who are more admirable than Timmy, & not just because he persists in calling me "Kid". He seems to qualify for most Vegas trips & rarely misses an SPT. He's played a whopping 195,400 games here, of which 191,200 were DYM's. ROI's in DYM's are funny things, & Rewards/Rakeback play a big part, but, serious question here, has any currently active player on Sky Poker made as much money or a better ROI at DYM's over a proper sample size as Timmy? Can't be many who earn a better return. Yesterday was a typical day for him, he played just TWO MTT's (Freeroll & Main), winning the Main & collecting just over £960. Alongside those 2 MTT's he played 86 DYM's, winning 51 of them (59%). Add in Rewards/Rakeback & that's not a bad day. Can't ever recall him moaning about bad beats either. Proper bloke is Timmy.
The Mini went to @Chalky666 who many of us met at SPT Brighton. He's a dead ringer for Sam Ryder, the Eurovision bloke, and many at Brighton were naïve enough to think it was him. Not me, obv. Fun guy though, & I was pleased to get a PM from him a few days later.
Pete @Brrrrrrrwon 9 @ 9, & earlier in the day ran 3rd in a £300 BH. Pete is one of the guys who help keep our Forum going, as he has run the popular Naps Table for as many years as I can remember. There's more work to running Forum Comps than many realise, so well done yesterday Pete, you can have a good bet with your winnings.
@crazykaron had 4 attempts to get into Mega via £1.20 All-In Sats, won the last of them & went on to win Mega & over £300. Love it.
@timeforbedprobably slept well as he logged on to play just one MTT, the £1k BH, and won it."
The swings & swongs of MTT traffic are a perfect demonstration of variance, so maybe it was no great surprise that after a really testing week or so, last night's £5,000 Main came in at a very handsome £6,000. And that was despite Arteta's mighty Arsenal being on TV. Tonight? I fancy the Main will struggle to cover Guarantee.
@mikeEEe took the Main. Tends to only play the Main, & usually only if he wins a satellite. Well he won a sat to Monday's Main & pocketed the cash, using it to enter last night's Main, going home with ~£1,100. Been with Sky Poker around 14 years but very thin volume, but this was his 2nd Main event win, as he took down a Sharpshooter in February 2022. In 2nd was @dazadude making their thread debut & very modestly rated by Sharky, so that suggests a great performance, & perhaps a PB. Was a decent FT, completed by @bakersdoze@claudel9@whitters95 & @MAGPIETYKE.
Stunning scenes in the 339 runner Mini, which went to @Smccaff. Never heard of him? That's because he only signed up yesterday. Played 4 or 5 MTT's & DYM's & then went on a quite extraordinary run, here's his last 4 MTT's;
3.30pm; 1/62 in a £5.50 entry £300 BH.
8pm; 1/162 in a £2.20 entry £400 BH
8.30pm 1/339 in the £5.50 entry Mini
09.00am this morning, 1/36 in a £5.50 entry £150 BH
By any standards, that's some sequence, especially for a NKOTB. Be very interesting to see how he progresses. Definitely one for the notebook.
As usual, Summit was very competitive, with @tonyp142the last man standing. 2nd was @fishhhhhthen @GoldNug22@Limp2Lose@MikeyW94& @Sharki0. What a FT that was. @tonyp142 has ticked off most of his Featured MTT bingo card, including two Majors, two Summits, a few UKOPS, a BWBH, and several Mains including Avenger & Sharpshooter.
@kettle9930 had a short but enjoyable sesh, 14/68 in a £300 BH, 12/201 in the £1k BH & then 1/50 in the new £500 BH.
@mrtee who has notched up wins in both Sharpshooter & Gold Rush Main has been quiet of late, until taking the win in last night's Mega.
