"Despite some decent Premier League football on TV, including the Arsenal, numbers were ok, with Gold Rush Main making £5,880, just shy of 10% up y-o-y. The standout MTT was the £1,000 Quickdraw which came in at an eye-popping £1,920.
@Damon8 took the Main. After taking around 8 years to get to £10,000 profit he's had a wonderful year & more than doubled his profit despite relatively low volume, taking almost 5 months for his last 100 MTT's. Last night was his 7th Main Event triumph, including no less than 4 Sharpshooters & 2 Avengers. Maybe he's a Thursday/Saturday sort, as he's also won 2 Avenger Minis & a Sharpy Mini. 2nd was @FeelGroggy. It's good to see Groggs playing more MTT's but he's been hitting the post a lot, in the last week or so he's been 2nd in a Main & a Sheriff, & 3rd in two Mains & a Summit. 3rd was @claudel9who has played just 1 MTT since 11th November. He was also 2nd in the Rebuy BH & 3rd in Reload, plus he satted into the Main for £7.20. Good to see him back. @Limp2lose, who won Quickdraw on Sunday, was 4th. @chkngeorge won his seat in the MML & managed 6th for £166, hardly life-changing money but nice when it's off the back of a Sky Poker freebie.
In the Mini we saw a real blast from the past as @mabsue took the win. Been here - on & off - almost since day one. Back in the days of the TV Show, LML & myself took a film crew down to South Wales to meet him & his family. I used to love those occasional "specials" we did, & it's such a shame that all the videos have been removed from You Tube for regulatory & Compliance reasons. Our one-time Viva Las Vegas last-longerist @boggo was 2nd, just 48 hours after running 4th in Sunday's Mini Major.
@MikeyW94 continues to be in splendid form, from just 5 MTT's played he won Summit, 2nd in Turbo & 6th in Quickdraw.
What's in an Alias? Well in the 7 @ 7 @lennononotook top spot. The alias tells us a great deal, clearly a Beatles fan & presumably not a youngster either, maybe a similar age to me. I'm just guessing of course, but it's nice to Imagine.
Toughest FT of the night was probably the Turbo, where @NChanning applied his guile to guide himself to the win from a super-strong field. I'm very much hoping we'll see him at the weekend in Manchester.
Must give mention to @tonyp142 who made FIVE FT's (3rd, 4th, 4th, 5th & 6th) and also won a Main Event seat in a £7.20 sat. Impressive stuff, though I'm sure he'll be a little disappointed not to manage a win. Such is human nature.
To the 9 @ 9 goes the dubious honour of the only featured MTT to miss guarantee, albeit only be 3 entries. In taking the win @Kyocera nets their maiden featured MTT victory.
Despite around £300 of overlay, MTT traffic was a bit better last night. As I was reminded by James over the weekend, these days there's another element to the traffic equation - Deposit Limits. These re-set on the 1st of the month, so towards the end of the month many players run out of credit, so to speak, then they deposit & return 1st of the next month.
The Main went to @jedinemo and it was his 2nd 2024 Main, as he won a Sharpshooter in January. Seems in decent form at the mo, won an £800 BH 10 days ago. Runner-up last night was @TONY509 & it's worth noting he had a quite exceptional day. Played just 4 MTT's, notching up two 1st places (both £100 Timeds) & 2nd in the Main, the only negative was finishing way down the field in the Mini.
In the Mini @ChipDiddy0 took the win, & that follows a great performance on Sunday when he won Sheriff & was 3rd in both Turbo & Quickdraw. He's cashing all over the show at the moment. Folks are starting to talk disparagingly about him behind his back these days, a sure sign that he's doing well.
The £800 BH went to @zzgoose, which gives me the opening I needed to mention that he won Sunday's Mini Major. (There was no write-up yesterday). He made the Final of last Tuesday's Gold Rush Mini too, so he's in good form.
@Ironpump1 took 7 @ 7 & had a deep run in the Main, just missing the FT. His profit graph is getting ever steeper. 2nd was @gixxerk4who is a fellow golfer, though I don't know if he plays right through the winter. I'd prefer just to play in the Summer but at my age every opportunity has to be grasped. He's a proper golfer though, whereas I'm a genuine hacker.
A win double for @davtherav who took Mega as well as a £300 BH. Won the Rebuy BH around 10 days ago too. Best result on Sky Poker was earlier this year when finishing 2nd in Avenger Main.
Sheriff went to @loosecamel & thereby hangs a remarkable story. 4 months ago, & after 1,100 MTT's, he was around £4,500 in loss. 4.5 months & 800 games later he's over £4,500 in Profit. Those are Sharky numbers, so not always entirely accurate, even so it's clear he's turned things round big time. Historically he's been a significant cash game player, done very well at it too, but I sense he's enjoying MTT's more these days.
Good session for @lundie. From a limited sesh, he won the Rebuy BH, was 3rd in the 19.18 PLO8 (which runs in parallel with the Rebuy BH), & finished 1st & 2nd in a brace of late night Timed affairs. It's not easy to play NLH & PLO8 at the same time, anything but. He's recently breached the £100,000 profit barrier if Sharky are accurate, so many congrats.
Reload went to @cheekydekewho has a Mini won on his CV, & I believe he's a very useful PLO8 player too.
That's it for today. The weekend really wrecked me, & I'm still on sleep catch-up, but I've made a start at getting back into my routine.
