"It's Easter Monday & I've been invited to play a round of golf at a proper posh course, so this will have to be somewhat briefer than the usual Monday version of War & Peace.
Traffic was pretty good with one exception, but what an exception that was as the Major racked up a nasty £1,200 overlay. Ouch. Remember, Sky give away 3 seats per day to the Major in the Freeroll, so that comes to £2,100, meaning the real overlay was over £3,000. Reduced guarantees for the Summer can't be far away.
Ignoring the overlay, what a FT the Major was, with @grindddleading home @Limp2Lose@Itsover4u@Sharki0@SoLack& @Vertigo. Hard to imagine a more experienced FT. Remarkably, not only was the 5th time @grinddd has won the Major but he won it last week too, so that's two weeks on the spin. Extraordinary. Runner-up @Limp2lose has a glittering CV, while 3rd placed @Itsover4u must be due a Major win soon as he's never won it but has been 2nd three times. The 4th, 5th & 6th all have great CV's here too. Some FT.
An interesting result in the Mini as @urabanhust who joined Sky Poker just 48 hours earlier took the win in what was just his 26th MTT here. One to keep an eye on. 2nd was @Natnug, 5th @loololollo with good old @DiggerMan in 5th, hoe hoe hoe.
The £6,000 BH went to @CU180 (no relation to Jimmy...) who has had a fair degree of success in his 12 years here. @bnana has had a great week or so which has got better as it progressed, 10th in Sharpshooter 8 days previously, 6th in Wednesday's Predator & 2nd in this.
7 @ 7 was won for the third time by @Boxster, & continuing the German car theme, @Bmw335car was 3rd in the £1k BH which was won by the fishy-sounding@Stickleb1.
A fine double for @JScorgie who won both Sheriff & Turbo.
As always on a Sunday, the Usual Suspects were well represented, as in addition to those previously mentioned, 9 @ 9 went to @Froozle, Quickdraw to @Natnug& MidEx to @hazelwoo05.
My tee-time awaits (rain permitting) so that'll have to do for today."
MTT traffic was solid, just two smidgeons of overlay amounting to £49 (£28 from 7 @ 7, & £21 from 9 @ 9).
There was a tremendously popular Sharpshooter Main winner as it went to @JammyFker who just 24 hours earlier had won Avenger Mini. On Friday he was within touching distance of FTJ cash, but unfortunately last night he was out with the washing in the Mini. Very rare indeed to win Main & Mini 24 hours apart, especially on Friday & Saturday which are usually the two biggest prize pools of the week with the exception of the Major. Well done Shane, delighted for you. 2nd was @Froozlewho then won a £300 BH that kicked off 15 minutes after the Main. @tai-garhad one attempt to win a satellite into the Main, no good, wrote off the £3.60 and then entered the Main anyway, eventually running 3rd for £330. Another popular result.
Exactly a year & a day since joining Sky Poker @edgeplaya1 won the Mini. Looks like he only ever plays the Mini - never anything else - & does OK, last night's win coming just 5 days after he was 3rd in Monday's Marksman Mini. Very low volume but pleasantly profitable.
@The_Pattois having a terrific week, 2nd in Tuesday's Summit, 3rd in Friday's Avenger Main & last night he won Sheriff. Not an easy Sheriff FT either (are they ever) with a whole bunch of heavy-hitters on the FT, with @Doooobs on the 2nd step of the podium ahead @Jscorgie@Super_Oli@cabbaz& @Sharki0. Sheriff FT's don't come much tougher than that.
Family responsibilities mean @Doooobs does not get to play as often as he used to but he's managed a few nights recently & taken full advantage. 1st in last night's Quickdraw follows 2nd in last night's Sheriff, 3rd in Sharpy Main a week earlier, 1st in Avenger Main the night before that, & 1st in Turbo a week earlier. Fingers crossed his run-good extends to Las Vegas in 2 months time where he'll likely be playing some WSOP & Wynn PLO8 & Omaha Mix.
@hendry1 has a very good record in Reload & won it last night for the 2nd time this year, then went on to win MidEx for a lovely win double on the night.
On Monday @THRXLNT was 5th in Reload, then went better by taking top spot in last night's £800 BH.
98.5% (exactly) of the play by @ROBK05 in 13 years has been in cash games & he's played just 10 MTT's lifetime here, of which just 8 were in the last 2 years, but he must have fancied a change last night, as he entered & won 7 @ 7.
Rebuy BH went to @BigDane who has a very decent CV which includes wins in 3 Mains - Sharpy, Gold Rush & Predator, as well as 2nd in a Summit. Other notable results include 2 UKOPS wins & 1st place in a Mini Major. Has a very impressive 47% ROI over a 5,000 game sample.
Next week is the Aintree Festival & Grand National so @NChanning will be super busy on behalf of his Betting Emporium clientele, but this week is a rest week for him & he took full advantage with a win in Mega.
@mrx133 returned this week from a 6 month absence & in fact has only played around a dozen MTT's since late 2022 but seems to have retained his ability as he won Turbo having been 5th in a 9 @ 9 earlier this week. Back in the day - 8 or 10 years ago - was a very successful player with wins in Sharpshooter Hitman & Iceman Mains, though his best score was almost £4,000 for winning a 2016 Super Roller, which was the predecessor to the Sunday Major.
That's it for today. Clocks went forward last night so we all lost an hour's sleep, so am going back to bed for a nap then off to DTD this afternoon to play the Incredible 100. Living the best life, or what?
