Scattered overlay again last night, continuing the post-UKOPs hangover. At £611 it was almost identical to Wednesday, however England were live on TV last night so there's the makings of a legit excuse there.
Hitman Main winner was @Swog who is laying claim you be Sky Poker's most improved MTT-er, & might even be in the argument for best MTT-er. He's opened up his Sharkscope, & for those with a keen interest in these things, go take a look at his profit graph. When you've played some 7,000+ MTT's over a 13 year period, it's very very difficult indeed to get a profit graph to suddenly rise so steeply as his has. He does very well indeed on other sites too, ditto the "Live" arena. It's particularly pleasing to me that he accepts bad beats as part of the game & does not bellyache about them. No adult should, of course, but plenty do. He played exactly one MTT on Sky Poker last night - the Main - & won it.
2nd was @braggars12 and prior to last night his last 5 results have all been in 9 @ 9 - 1 win & 5 FT's, so that was a big step up for Braggar Bloke. 3rd was @IVIystical aka Sam who only plays occassionally these days - he & Pippa have a very young child - but produces some remarkable results when he does. In 4th was @Chalky666who we met at SPT Brighton last year & I notice he qualified for this year's renewal last night. He's an absolute dead-ringer for the odious Sam Ryder who you may recall was a Eurovision one-hit wonder. Every report these days seems to include @PAPABURG and he was at it again last night, 5th in the Main & 6th in Mega. 6th went to @stonecrows, playing just his 3rd MTT this month, in fact he's taken 10 years to play just 165 MTT's so not exactly high volume. Good result for him though, and his 2nd decent score inside a week as he min-cashed Sunday's £40,000 UKOPS Main.
The Mini went to the wonderfully-aliased @AFFMAHEED and it comes just a week after he was runner-up in the Rebuy BH. Has some very decent form in the book, and his best two results were 1st in an Avenger Main 2 months ago, & 2nd, also in an Avenger Main, back in 2021. As Minis go, it was a tough Final as evidenced by @loololollo 2nd @FlynTimber 4th & @ILIKE2FISH 5th.
@GFKIJKLLhas been MIA for 2 or 3 nights but returned with a vengeance last night to wrap up a splendid hat-trick of wins - Mega, Turbo & a £300 Turbo BH. In 2023 he was the 5th most profitable MTT-er on Sky Poker according to Sharky, & he currently holds the same position this year.
@Drewett continues to rack up results and Sharky now rate him 91. Only played 5 MTT's here last night but managed a win in the Rebuy BH & 5th in Quickdraw.
The £800 BH fell to @craigyb22 who has some decent scores in the book from 8 or 9 years ago, and, more recently, last month he won a Marksman Main for a personal best.
@urabanhust won Reload, which caused me an arched eyebrow, as he's a Rebuy BH specialist, having won it no less than 5 times this year.
Two years ago @woop99 won a Sheriff since when we've barely seen him, but he was on the mark last night by taking MidEx down.
Good to see the SPT Brighton Semi run again, & in addition to @Chalky666(already mentioned) @PBKR booked his seat. Last time I shared tables with him at an SPT it all ended rather badly for one of us...
Am hopeful traffic will be a little better tonight, there is some "Nations League" football on TV, but none of the matches hold any interest for most of us.*
*Except the matches involving Scotland (v Croatia) & Northern Ireland (v Belarus) obviously...
Thanks for the kind words as always Tikay. I do miss the needles and rub downs from you though :-)
@IVIystical good to see you back playing and well done on the deep run.
