    Sharksbite is absolutely brilliant and well worth railing just to get some guidance and inspiration as to how to play when  getting close to final tables.

    No doubt about it - Naomi  is a real class act.

    There's no secrets to what she does - she just plays the game superbly.

    Sky Poker are lucky to have such a player. In fact, Sky Poker seem to have an awful lot of stunningly good female players.

    And the best of it is that she GIQ (gets it quietly) & does not go round chirpiing & larging herself up.

    Like I say, class act.

    Yep, I need to learn how to crack AA with QT!

    No, seriously, another excellent performance Sharky - it's always great to see you doing well.

     i noticed she was the best mtt player on here a while ago, and posted it on the thread that questioned who was the best and sharksbite was not even mentioned.. only the likes of flash flush and daveyzz who are good players but sharksbite is by far the best mtt player..

    the open and bounty hunter are so fast that luck has a big factor and i used to think that skill had nothin to do with these tournies as there is too much variance.. sharksbite has proved us wrong this month

    If i remember right, Sharksbite won £7K or was it £8K in the vegas tourney where second prize was a £7K or £8K due to not quite enough players. What a great cash prize eh? (sky poker are the best!) I don't think i'd ever come back to playing on-line poker after that cash win, but she does......so max respect for that......

    On 25th July, Sharksbite was 1st of 691 for £1,529.

    On August 16th, she beat a field of 549, to scoop £2,143.

    Last night, she was 2nd of 607, for £1,348.75.

    Pull your socks up Naomi - only 2nd last night? You are slipping.

    PS - Many congrats - that is a STUNNING sequence of cashes. And, what's more, you get it quietly.

    You, young Lady, are a class act.

    That certainly is an excellent record and something that Naomi should be extremely proud of, and you didn't even mention her £9k for coming 2nd or was it 3rd in the Vegas qualifier lol.

    How about Sky running a special invitational game for the best 50 or 100 players over the last year, something like a "Champion of Champions" game

    Correct - it was £9,000 for coming 2nd.

    Her husband is a pretty tidy player too, by the way - he won the Swansea Leg of the SPUKT.

    I'm not disputing Sharksbite's achievement or poker ability by any means, but I still feel that the open structures become <10bb poker after the first half an hour or so, making it very much a luck than skill factor as the majority of action is preflop. You get a range of hands, factor in action ahead of you and stack sizes, and stick it in the middle. It's not really a huge amount of skill.

    Remember if some people say they are running bad and really below EV (such as yourself Tikay), that means others are running really hot and way above their EV ;)

    A fantastic achievement none the less, i was watching myself!

    Yes, The 9pm Main Event IS fast - though it's interesting to see that players such as Sharksbite, TheSwiss, DAVEYZZ & others have won it multiple times. They must be very lucky.......;)

    But there are plenty of other, very much slower, &, some might argue, more skilful, Tourneys on Sky Poker, we now have several DeepStacks every night, & they are gaining in popularity.

    Me running bad means others are running good? Absolutely! I did mention - not complain, simply observe - that I have run bad since before Vegas. But it can change quyickly. I won the Deepie on Thursday night for £145, & was second in the Deepstack Showdown last night for £600. Variance is a beautiful thing.
