This day last year
"MTT traffic was OK, especially the £6,000 Main (£7,170), & the £1k Quickdraw did exceedingly well for the 2nd straight night, £1,960. Perversely, the nightly £200 PLO8 came in at just £220, which is the lowest I can remember. Go figure.
It's time to keep an eye on @Awoken who won last night's Sharpshooter Main, just 5 days after 1st place in Monday's Marksman Main. Further successes last night included 3rd in Mega & 2nd in Turbo. Won a BWBH last month too, & has several wins in Mega & 7 @ 7. Seems to be improving rapidly.
@hoult08 plays the Mini a few times per week & precious little else, in fact 7 of their last 8 MTT's have been regular Minis, the exception being a Main event satellite. They were 6th in a Mini two weeks ago & got the coveted top spot last night. Probably helped that his alias began with "h" as that applied to 4 of the 6 finalists - @hoult08 (1st) @Harrald2nd (2nd), @HomerJS (5th) & @heed2000 (6th). Shame we don't have a statistician on the Forum who can work out the odds of that. Incidentally, the alias of @Harrald2nd who finished 2nd really is "Harrald2nd". Don't even ask.
@MattE17 makes their thread debut having won last night's 7 @ 7, which was just their 21st MTT in 8 years here, has barely played any DYM's or cash either.
A nice win double for @goeasyonme who won the £1k Rebuy BH and followed up by taking a £500 BH later in the evening. 2nd in the Rebuy BH was The Notorious @gobbleoff.
There was also a double for FTT regular @jawtho who won Mega & remarkably was still on site to play & win an 03.00 £100 Turbo BH this morning.
1st place & £232 was a personal best for @lukeee742 when winning 9 @ 9 for the 2nd time, has a 7 @ 7 win on their CV too.
Reload went to @TRAX aka "Cheers Lad".
Think I'll have to stop now. Shorter than ideal, longer than intended, & suddenly, Sunday morning has been and gone."
Morning.
Despite the England game, MTT traffic was quite frothy, with just £100 of overlay (BWBH) across the featured events & numbers generally way above their recent run-rate. Doing especially well were Rebuy BH (£1,495), 9 @ 9 (£1,026) Reload (£1,803), Turbo (£1,530) & Quickdraw (£1,700). All good, & fingers crossed more of the same over the weekend. The clocks go forward next weekend = longer days (so to speak), so we'll start to see traffic do it's seasonal decline soon. Then the usual Negative Ninnies will say "RIP Sky Poker", normies will ignore it, & then, come the Autumn when the numbers start to rise again, no more will be said. As a society, we seem to be be told all the negative stuff & but positive stuff is rarely mentioned. Weird.
Avenger Main went to a good & long-standing mate of mine, @Doooobs & I could not be more pleased for him. When he won Turbo last Saturday I remarked that due to ever-increasing family commitments - he has two daughters who I believe must be teens by now or almost so - he does not get to play here as much as used to be the case, & in fact this was just his 36th MTT on Sky Poker this year. Despite not playing very much at all, has a very impressive "Live" poker CV, the best of which is £62,600 for winning a GUKPT Main at The Vic, although his "Hendon" shows him as 2nd, but I believe they did some business & he got the most. I don't ever recall sharing tables with him in the UK, but it's rare that a year goes by when we don't share tables somewhere in Vegas, usually in WSOP or Golden Nugget PLO8 &/or Big O events. He has 6 WSOP cashes, 4 of which are for PLO variants, & he ran 2nd for $16,000 in a Golden Nugget Omaha Mix. He'll be in Vegas in early June I believe, so will I, & hopefully we'll share tables & maybe one of us will have a deep run or two. (Probably him...). 2nd place last night went to @abhouston who has shown useful form in the past, including 1st place in a Sharpshooter Main just over a month ago, so he was very close to winning 2 Mains inside 5 weeks.
@Archie8888 is a very infrequent MTT-er these days & when he plays it's usually the Mini. Exactly two weeks after finishing 8th in Avenger Mini, he went all the way last night. In 4th was @rancid who sadly (for me) is no longer visible on Sharky, with @UnEuropean who only returned after a 4 month break a few weeks ago in 5th.
Arsenal fan & Backwards Baseball Cap Bloke @Alvez11 won BWBH. Keen observers will have seen that he's currently leading the Week 3 Las Vegas Leagues leader board, having finished 2nd in Week 1. And if you wondered where all his volume comes from, yesterday alone he played over £2,600 worth of Heads Up SNG's & DYM's, including 9 £100 Heads Up games & 2 x £200 Heads Up duels. And won BWBH on the side. Some folks make it all look so easy.
In winning 7 @ 7 @Frankson8 completed the early evening (£800 BH, 7 @ 7 & £1k Rebuy BH) hat-trick in just over a fortnight which is a rare achievement, so full marks to him. I said a few weeks ago he'd enjoy his poker more if he played less, & I stick by that, less is so often more in terms of pleasure, satisfaction & even profit. He currently leads - albeit only by a handful of games - the 2025 Sharky Sky Poker "COUNT" Leaderboard with the player in 3rd a whopping 600+ games in arrears. On average he plays 29 games a day, every day, though many - most - are All-In Sats & the like. Don't get me wrong, I've got that T-Shirt, but eventually I learned that it's hard to enjoy the scenery if you drive at 100mph.
@samsandu06 is becoming something of a Rebuy BH specialist, winning it for the 2nd time last night having finished 2nd in it a few weeks ago. Later in the evening he was 6th in a Turbo BH then 2nd in an early morning Timed. 2nd in Rebuy BH was @craigcu12 with @chrisdonkb back in 5th.
A third 2025 Mega win for @RobRenzi who, historically, has some great scores here including 1st in an Avenger Main, 2nd in a Sunday Major & 3rd in a UKOPS "Main" Main.
@potgrot has been here less than a fortnight & played just 30 MTT's so far. Exactly a week ago they made their thread debut after making the Rebuy BH FT, last night they registered their first Featured MTT victory.
In that Rebuy BH FT that @potgrot made last Friday, the winner was @snoxx11 & he was back in the winner's circle last night, Turbo this time. With over a week of March remaining, this month's haul of wins for the Snoxxster already includes Turbo (twice), Reload (twice) & 9 @ 9. Also ran 2nd in Avenger Main last Friday.
Big Boy watch? Usual schmusual, with victories for @Morris707 (9 @ 9), @Natnug (Quickdraw) & @Sharki0 (MidEx).
That's more than enough for a Saturday morning.
Oh, let's finish with a little quiz. Last night at DTD I shared tables with this man (red top bloke). Name him.
Clues? Played for 20 different clubs - including at the very highest (English) level - & scored over 100 goals in his career.
