"Traffic was "thin to middling", the two standouts being the £5,000 Main which made a pleasing £5,550, &, by way of balance, Reload which missed by a surprising £129. Worth noting that there were some attractive-looking Premier League games on TV last night, though the one I watched (Brentford v Brighton) was perhaps the dullest game I've watched all season.
@ra1dhas been doing increasingly well of late, finishing 1st & 4th in the last two Summits, & last night he took down the Main and a useful ~£1,075. Runner-up @Elmo69 had a decent day, as in addition to £550 for that, he won a mid-afternoon £200 BH for over £100. @Vertigo continues to hit the crossbar, on Sunday he was 6th in the Major, Tuesday he was 6th in 9 @ 9 & 4th in Mini, & last night 5th in Main. Come on Shropshire man, time you won one of these.
Arguably, most pleasing result of the night was MML man @mumsie winning the Mini. He does remarkably well in the Mini, so far he's had 3 x 1st, 5 x 2nd, 1 x 3rd, 4 x 4th, 1 x 5th & 1 x 6th. Other decent scores include wins in the £1k BH, the £1k Rebuy BH & that 20.25 Mega (twice). Well done Charlie, keep them coming.
@shad8604who won Mega last Tuesday had a nice little double last night, taking both the £500 BH & 7 @ 7.
On Monday @purpleaki won Turbo, which was their first featured MTT win as far as I'm aware, & promptly went & won it again last night, which is quite something.
@NOSTRIhas been MIA for a week and celebrated his return by making no less than FOUR FT's. He won the £1k BH, 4th in a £300 Rebuy, 4th in a £500 BH, and 5th in 9 @ 9. Had a deep run in the Main too, 8th for £165.
It's heater-time for @lukeylund9who has notched up 8 wins in the last fortnight or so. Won the Rebuy BH last night, Mini 22/3, Mega 24/3, £1k BH 31/3, & perhaps most impressive of all the 20.15 £500 BH FOUR times in 10 nights between 22nd & 31st March. Amazing stuff.
No less impressive was @Becksiboo an alias you won't recognize as they had never played on Sky Poker until last night. Played 3 MTT's (Turbo, Quickdraw & MidEx) & took the Quickdraw victory. Some debut that, imagine winning an MTT on your first night on a site.
@rickrose who won the £500 BH @ 19.35 a few weeks ago was back in the winner's circle last night, this time for 9 @ 9. Won a Mega a while back too.
On Monday @utang won 9 @ 9 but did even better last night & really went to town late on, with three 1st places - MidEx, a £300 BH & a £100 BH, as well as 2nd in another £300 BH & 4th in a £200 BH. Those 5 results were all between 10pm last night & 3am this morning.
As predicted in yesterday's waffleage, a very attractive evening of domestic football, including the Forest - Man U clash, resulted in overlay galore, some £963 in total spread across 7 events. The worst sufferers were Summit (£300), Reload (£192) & 9 @ 9 (£156). The later stuff, which started after the football final whistles, all did just fine. The Big Cheeses won't mind though, Sky Poker loses a little but Sky Bet wins a lot.
Gold Rush Main fell to @Froozlewho had a great night really, 1st in Main, 8th in the Rebuy BH, & got 2nd for over £600 in the £110 entry Summit after winning his seat in a £24 satellite. The £890 he collected for winning the Main was his best result since running 3rd in a Sunday Major in December for around £1,200. His Sky Poker MTT profit is now over £160,000 at a 36% ROI, & he has almost fifty 4-figure cashes, including several UKOPS, 4 Majors & a 2018 Vegas package. Seems a perfect Gent in the Table Chat as far as I can see. (Most good players are). @Chalky666 will have been desperately disappointed to "only" finish 2nd but he does just fine here & has won 4 Mains & several UKOPS down the years. 3rd was @blablabla who had a busy but productive session, 3rd in Main, 5th in 7 @ 7, 6th in MidEx, & made the FT of two x £300 BH's & a £150 Freezeout. Seems to be on the upgrade, & is playing much-increased volume these days.
In the Mini, 1st place fell to @deviantjok (tmi....) who was last seen in these threads when making minor FT's in November & December 2023. Runner-up @LeZilla had a decent session, in addition to 2nd in the Mini he won a seat into Sunday's Major in the nightly Freeroll, & won a DYM too.
An astonishing Summit result. When a Summit FT includes @Froozle (2nd) @Upswing (3rd) @destinycod (4th) @grinddd 5th & @newdaddy (6th) you can't help but wonder someone rated 60 by Sharky can beat them all but that's exactly what @densaldid. There's the beauty of poker, when it's your night you can beat anyone. Been here since 2008 & as far as I can see has never won anything of that magnitude before. @destinycod won his seat in a satellite & later ran 3rd in Quickdraw, we'll return to @grinddd shortly, & @newdaddy was 8th in the Main having run 4th in the Major 48 hours earlier. Some result by @densal, well done buddy.
@spearsy136 is one of the players on Sky Poker I really admire, he just goes about his work quietly, never gets ool in the chatbox, & at the stakes he plays he does exceptionally well - 18,000 games, £53,000 of profit with a 51.6% ROI. That's exceptional. Last night was a typical session, 1st in the £800 BH, 1st in a £300 BH, 2nd in a £250 BH, 3rd in a £200 DS, 13th in Reload, won a satellite to the Main & went on to run deep in 13th. And in his last comp of the evening was honest enough to type in the chatbox "I've run very well tonight". Proper playa.
@JR12Booom had not played an MTT here since June of last year but suddenly showed up last night & won the very first MTT he played, 7 @ 7. The last - & only - previous reference I can find about Mr Booom was by @Aussie09 - remember him? - when he used to do various Sky Poker site rankings, & he had Boom Bloke as one of the best Newcomers. That was in around 2017 I believe, just after he joined us.
@ACEHOLEACE has played just 6 MTT's since February 1st, all of them 8pm Mains, & with no joy at all, but last night he lowered his sights a little & 1-tabled to 1st place in Mega.
Similar tale for @royburns who has not been seen on the MTT streets since finishing 4th in Turbo on 17th March, then re-appeared last night & won Quickdraw.
On Monday @666bumpy was 2nd in a £300 Turbo BH & last night he went a spot better in Reload.
@davidlamby signed up to Sky Poker in January & went dormant almost immediately, re-appearing last week to run unplaced in two small-stake daytime affairs, only to suddenly win last night's MidEx.
In Big Boy Watch, @grinddd won the Rebuy BH, was 5th in Summit, 4th in Quickdraw, 8th in Turbo & 5th in a £500 BH. After winning Sunday's £5k BH, @loosecamel took Monday off then returned last night & had a solid session, & from just 6 MTT's played won Turbo, was 2nd in a £500 BH & was 10th in the Main.
That's about it. Another very attractive raft of PL matches tonight, so MTT's will suffer again. Fill yer boots. Responsibly, mind.

That's it, I'm done. Waffled on rather longer than planned today."
