"Some good football on TV but the eve-of UKOPS numbers were OK, with the Main coming in at £5,550, an 18% uplift on the same night last year. Tonight there's Palace v Spurs on TV, & UKOPS Day 1, so that'll be interesting.
@rancid took the Main. Think he's more of a cash player traditionally, & he's just coming up to 15 years since he joined Sky Poker. 2nd was @Reds69 who won Midex the previous night. @K0BAYASHlwho we don't see on the Forum these days was 3rd.
@Ubbi4820 is a fairly infrequent visitor, but showed up last night & won the Mini, exactly 7 days since he last played, when he was a close up 7th in the Main. Has won several Mains & Minis down the years. The much-improved @mumsie was 3rd, his graph is heading nicely north, & he won the £1k Rebuy BH at the start of this month. 3rd was @steveysee who made several other assorted FT's later in the evening.
The new Sheriff in town is @tonyp142 who aside from winning that also ran 6th in the Main & 3rd in Reload. Big things are expected from him in UKOPS. 4th was @NChanning who I saw described on the Forum this morning as the "karate ambassador". I guess he's been called far worse.
@bisgas80 took Mega, adding it to previous victories in MidEx (twice), £1k BH & Quickdraw, though I suspect his best cash was 2nd in a £5k BH last year which earned him ~£650.
@thoughtfox was another recent MidEx winner (Sun/Mon) who was back in the winner's circle last night, 9 @ 9 this time.
Solid night for @T_Bundy who was 1st in Quickdraw & 3rd in Sheriff. You may recall he had a banging August - 1st in both a Major & an Avenger Main, 2nd & 3rd in BWBH & 2nd in Avenger Main all in the space of 3 weeks.
That'll have to do for today, as I've got a few UKOPS bits & bobs to sort.
GL if you get involved in UKOPS, but please remember it's a 10 day affair, so keep some powder dry."
A plethora of interesting Champions League ties on TV suggested MTT numbers would not be great, & so it proved, with 6 of the Featured MTT's suffering for an overall combined miss of £524. Turbo was worst affected (£220) followed by the Mini (£105). Surprisingly, 4 of the 6 misses were in MTT's that started at 9.30pm or later, which seems a bit odd.
@addy79 has been running well of late & took the Predator Main, having won MidEx last Saturday. Won his Predator seat in a £1.80 All-In sat, in fact he won two of them, so was freerolling big time. Placees (yup, it IS a word) included @Steed432 & @PAPABURG both of whom we shall return to shortly.
The Mini went to @IamAll_En & in truth that's small change to a player who has won a boomlet Major worth just shy of £5,000, 2 UKOPS, 4 Summits, and a dozen or more Mains including an Avenger. Every little counts though. In 6th was @SilverRiz who made Monday's Marksman Main FT.
One of the most improved players recently has been @PAPABURG and they had a lovely win double last night, £800 BH & 9 @ 9. It's interesting how on occasions players seem to suddenly improve, though maybe it's just variance performing it's wonders. Joined us in 2021, & took 3 years until this Summer to make £7,000 of profit, then in the 3 months from then until now, doubled it to the best part of £14,000. Recent scores include winning a BWBH & 2nd in a Major, & overall appears to have won the 10pm Turbo no less than a dozen times.
We had another win double too, @Steed432 who took Sheriff & Quickdraw. Is not visible on Sharky, so I have limited data, but this year's highlights includes wins in both a Sunday Major and a BWBH.
@Fitza89 seems to be showing improved form, adding last night's 7 @ 7 to wins in a Mega in August and a 10pm Turbo last week.
@urabanhust seems to be on the up & up too, winning last night's Rebuy BH, in addition to 2nd in a £250 BH, 3rd in a £300 Rebuy & 5th in the £800 BH.
Having played just 8 MTT's since July, @spideryd17 came on the web last night & won Mega.
We finish today on a real shocker. The UKOPS Rewards Freeroll had 639 entries - the biggest field of the night by a very long way - & somehow @Amarie finished 5th, winning herself £20 plus a £110 UKOPS seat. I know it's a cliche, but really, how DO these things happen in poker? We have players who belong to study groups, memorise call/fold charts, subscribe to Training Sites & God knows what else, none of which MOTHER does, she just sits there doing her knitting & clicking buttons as & when it takes her fancy. Ridiculous really.
More European football this evening including Man U & Spurs both in action. Neither are ever much fun to watch these days though, so maybe numbers will be OK.
