Well thinking i would not make it in time due to some person being rather silly in Chesterfield and holding the train i was on up for nearly 45 minutes, i have to say it was without doubt one of the most enjoyable weekends i have ever been on (Playing for over £600,000+ on the TV 7 years ago down in London was a life changing and enjoyable weekend which was totally amazing but this weekend at Nottingham was a bit special!)
I seriously from the bottom of my heart cannot thank you all enough for all the warmth,kindness and serious good spirit that was shown to me by you all (You know who you are!) and without going into much detail, no one probably realises how much that meant to me because even though i may not have ever shown it, i have always been a very shy individual from when i was little and it has affected me in the fact that i could be perceiving to people that i come across as quite ignorant or cold but i just get very nervous and worried of how people react to me. I mean for those who do not know i will be amongst the new batch of "My Name is" segments on Sky Poker and i am dreading them coming on channel 865!.
I was very lucky to have got 42nd out of a top quality field of 267 and yeah i will admit i was gutted not to have cashed or better still win the whole thing but i have to be proud of the fact that i grinded hard and my exit hand like Dave (SolarCarro) said to me it was the "try to win the tournament" hand i went all-in with and it was not to be but i gave it my best shot and maybe i put too much on myself to achieve high and not be realistic enough. I had a good 2 hour walk around Nottingham to clear my head before i jumped into a taxi for DTD on Day 2 and i kept saying to myself that if i did not win it then i sooooooooooooooooooooo hope and pray either Dave or Sian do the business and both Dave and Sian you want to be soooooooo proud of the superb efforts you put in because that was both phenominal performances in my estimation.
Overall everyone of you are quite simply legendary and i would like to possibly build our friendships even stronger and hopefully you all feel the same perhaps and once again many many thanks for such a superb weekend and ill see you all at future SPT Events somewhere down the line.

Sorry I wasn't quick enough for the post SPT sng ....in my defense YOU WERE EARLY.......
and yes.....i did manage to aquire a very nice white firetrap cardigan...as i understand the modern british legal system....POSSESSION IS 9/10THS OF THE LAW ;o)
Well i was Last Knight Standing at SPT Nottingham and tonight i am First Knight in at SPT Blackpool!!!!
What an absolute scrap it was but yet again at the first time of asking i qualify for an SPT event and bring on October thats what i say!!
I have to say also it was one of the most enjoyable nights of Poker i have ever had which was full of friendly banter and good spirit which is what poker should be all about and some great peeps that played in the Satelitte including SolarCarro, Mogsy 1957, Jamielou, David36, DAVEYZZ and many more and if i have forgot to mention ur name then i apologise!!.
SIR CT IS IN AT BLACKPOOL, ITS A CASE OF WHO'S NEXT?!!!
booked the weekend off, now just got to qualify. well done to all knights in nottingham, was working that weekend but my heart was with you. trip you must gather the knights and send them north to black of the pool x
I'm over the moon i have qualified for SPT Blackpool but the mood i am in with this bad run online, i'm really feeling like venturing into Moany Moaner Moanersville until i take down another 8pm'er or i get a serious big cash in one of these MTT's because i've been on the end of another sick bad beat in the £4k rebuy Open (Seriously that tourney can go where the sun dont shine for me cause i aint playing in it ever again!).
I don't mind a couple of days worth of bad beats that i can take but this has gone on for weeks and i really do not want to stop playing but the poker gods are being complete barstewards with me at the minute and it is becoming a complete joke to the point i might have to take a little break away from the tables!!
C'mon fellow Knightsploppers i dont want to be the only Knightplop at SPT Blackpool and it would be perfick for more than one Knightplop to be on that final table!!.......
WE STAND AS ONE AND UP TEAM KNIGHTSPLOP!!!!.........
I'm gonna have one more MTT tonight and if i dont cash in it big then i am going to have no choice but to have a break from here because this bad run is really testing my patience somewhat but ill probably in the Primo on Sunday if i can sat'lite my way through it but then probably after that it will be a case of winding up members of a certain other forum (Not Poker related bearing in mind!) that i belong to for a bit.
Well I tried tonight, the satellite, no success, the semi, no success. I will try again. I've been looking for travel and accommodation. From Southampton the train journey is between 5 and 7 hours depending on when I catch it. Accommodation looks like a bargain, all B&Bs about 150 metres from the g-casino look pretty decent. I'd say I'm 99% sure I'm going. Posted by Machka
