This day last year
"This is going to be one of those days when I find it really tough to write an interesting review. You have been warned.
Still a bit of minor assorted overlay around, but unlike Wednesday the Main did at least get over the line this time - just - at £5,050, which was a 19% y-o-y increase.
There's currently a cash game Promo running, so that may be affecting MTT numbers.
@eyre09 got into the Main via a £7.20 satellite & walked away with ~£985. That's all he played last night. Good result for him, though not his best, which was 2nd in an Avenger Main back in 2019.
Very decent FT which included @jawzindawz @WOW1tsANDY (who won Quickdraw) @MikeyW94 @IamAll_En & @JCordy.
A word of warning if these things matter to you, Sharkscope have not (at present) included the results of last night's Main for some reason.
@GREGSTER is a bit of a Mini specialist & won it again last night for at least the 6th time. Seems to have won quite an interesting variety of them too, including a Super Mini, a UKOPS Mini, a Rebuy Mini & the Avenger Mini, which is the Daddy Mini.
@Nitrogen who only recently returned from 6 months MIA took the Rebuy BH, his 2nd win in 48 hours as he won Tuesday's 7 @ 7.
@Dice06 makes the thread & the winner's circle for the first time by winning Mega. Been here 2 years but only played 39 MTT's, & just 4 of them were in the last 6 months.
Sheriff saw an interesting result as it went to @LittleLu who has only been here 3 weeks. Primarily a cash game player I believe, & is in the Top 10 of one of the Cash Game Challenge leaderboards. The other podiumates (yup, I made that word up) were @tonyp142 & @rspca12. @tonyp142 then went on to win Turbo.
That's it for today. You were warned.
Enjoy your weekend."
Morning.
Yesterday was the UKOPS Day 6 and at £23,500, it had the lowest one day total guarantees of the entire series. Even so, it barely covered (prize pools 8% above guarantees) and in fact 3 of the 6 Events overlaid, albeit only by tiny amounts - £100, £210 & £20, so £340 in total. It was "Rebuy Night" too, & Sky Poker don't rake rebuys, so a bit of a thin night one way & another.
If one thing could have been guaranteed before this UKOPS Series began it would be that @Tedson would make his presence felt, & so it proved last night. He not only won the Main but he won the Turbo too, & in doing so further enriched himself by some £3,900 (£2,850 + £1,050). I could spend all day trying to work out his achievements here, and I believe last night were his 8th & 9th UKOPS wins. He's also won the Major 8 or 10 times, & is well into double figures on his Summit & BWBH victories. All that whilst playing 95% (literally) of his action at the cash tables, where he's equally dominant. And if we look at his Sharky it's breath-taking. Rated at 97 (anyone beat that?), ABI £61, ROI 56%, profit from a 2,399 game sample £129,000. And a question for the stats geeks - has anyone won more UKOPS events than @Tedson? And a Gent in the Table chat boxes. Luckily, whilst perusing the internet, I managed to find a 'photo of him.
Moving on to the rest of the finalists, most of them were no real surprise - @loosecamel @roddy28 @ILIKE2FISH @Ironpump1 & @Bensons22. The last-named has probably done better than many would have thought - in this Series he's now made 4 Finals (1st, 2nd, 3rd & 6th), plus 7th, 7th & 7th & so FT bubbled no less than 3 times, & 9th once. Prior to last night he was sitting 6th in the Leaderboard, so he's in with a shot at that too.
As Forum readers will know @spearsy136 is doing a Bankroll Challenge - remember them? - & it's been going well, & it received a £1,080 boost last night after he won the Mini. It's not his biggest cash here - that was 2nd in a 2020 boomlet Avenger Main, and he's won the Sunday night £6k (now £5k) BH twice too, but an ABI of £6.24 over 17,000 games does rather suggest he does not play a great deal of higher buy-ins such as we see in UKOPS. We know we have to tread carefully with Sharky stats, but a 49% ROI & £50,000 of profit from an ABI of £6 odd takes a bit of doing. I suspect he'd do very well if he moved up stakes - but I hope he does not. Keep it fun & all that. The rest of the Mini FT yielded no great shocks, with @Upswing 2nd in what was, I think, his 5th or 6th FT this Series, so he must surely be close to topping the Leaderboard, young @Shrimpy28 in 4th, @grinddd 5th & @MSDOS 6th. Oh, & Man of the Moment @Bensons22 was 3rd, & as he ran 6th in the Main, he gets a £150 cash bonus from the FTJ, the first player to ring the FTJ bell this Series.
We had the PLO8 affair last night, & I found the results fascinating. Of the 6 Finalists, only 2 of them - @Asho28 (who has made a UKOPS PLO8 FT previously) & @Dynesy have any record of playing PLO8 with a degree of frequency. The other 4 - @destinycod (1st) @loololollo (3rd) @StayOrGo (4th) & @loosecamel (5th) usually only show up in PLO8 stuff on high days & holidays. Despite which, they do well when they do - @destinycod for example only plays PLO8 when it's UKOPS & in the last year alone he's had a 1st, a 4th & a 6th. How do we account for that? I have two theories.
1) Good players - really good players - can adapt to any Format. (See Matt Perrins, who won a WSOP 2–7 Draw Lowball despite never having played it before).
2) Aggro is key, & all good players are aggro. As a general rule, PLO8 players - a much older demographic generally speaking - tend to be less aggressive in my personal experience. I'm not denigrating their achievements - not at all - just trying to work out how these guys do it.
Bit of a stink in UKOPS 36 when the very capable @GSmith13 lost heads up to @skunky1 who was playing his first MTT here in 3 weeks, & only his 101st in the 1 year & 1 week he's been here.
@skunky1 caused a bit of a stink when beating the very capable @GSmith13 Heads Up in UKOPS 36. Skunk Bloke was playing his first MTT here in 3 weeks, & only his 101st in the 1 year & 1 week he's been here and his only previous featured MTT FT was 3rd in a regular (i.e., non UKOPS) Mega last December.
The night's closer went to the super-competitive @StayOrGo who also ran 4th in the PLO8. He's won everything there is to win here, including all the big stuff as well as a Punta Cana package. His best score was actually a UKOPS when he collected over £8,500 for winning a 2017 UKOPS High Roller. He's also won the Major & it's various predecessors - Super Roller, PRIMO etc.

1) Good players - really good players - can adapt to any Format. (See Matt Perrins, who won a WSOP 2–7 Draw Lowball despite never having played it before).
2) Aggro is key, & all good players are aggro. As a general rule, PLO8 players - a much older demographic generally speaking - tend to be less aggressive in my personal experience. I'm not denigrating their achievements - not at all - just trying to work out how these guys do it.
I agree with that but let's also add that the PLO8 regulars were massively outnumbered by the pro or semi pro holdem regs, great players though they are, as there is the UKOPS leaderboard to play for. Also many of them have a good appreciation of the game, we just don't see them on the £5 nightly PLO8 MTT as it frankly isn't worth their time. The fact that 1/3 of the final table were PLO8 regs was quite a good result I think and well done to @Asho28 and @Dynesy.
I got well and truly beaten up by a good holdem reg who seemed to hit everything with hands I wouldn't have even seen a flop with (but I'm a nit, obviously). It doesn't bode well when, in the early stages, you pot raise a limped pot pre with AA25ds, get two callers and end up getting 1/4rd in a 3 player pot when you hit the nut low and a 23456 high only to see 6788 (I think, I can't remember the exact hand) get 1/2.
Still onwards and upwards and it was great fun, it's still a shame that the bigger buy in PLO8's only come around fleetingly, despite Sky's efforts.
@Enut
Yes, I don't really disagree with your first para, it's fair comment.
