Thanks to everyone who railed me and kept me company throughout the night.
It was a game of two halves or, more accurately, four fifths and one fifth.
For the first 4 hours I was cruising along and the score stood at one point at 11-5 to me. Then in the last hour disaster struck as I racked up the number of games and lost every single one!
So the final scores on the doors are... Orford 11
Sky Poker Community 12!
Well done then to the 12 who go through this week to the big Roller freeroll. They are... TheDon90 mkgunner amazinal mp33 GregHogg SCubagda Boxster TommyD Donut64 CrazyBen23 munksy lynx3ffect
I'll be back at 7pm next Wednesday to do it all over again. Make sure you catch me on the heads-up tables. Remember, beat me just once and you're in the freeroll.

If you reread the first post Richard amended it early last night to make it so you only have to beat him once to get in the draw.
Must admit i was trying to get a game last night for a while. kept searching ur name but before i cud join there was already someone in..not sure how some ppl managed to get to play twice.
maybe it'll be easier next week seeing as these 'greedy' ppl are already entered ;-)

Hi bludreid- as TheDon said I played between £1 and £5 sng hu yesterday. And I managed to play 21 individuals, two of them twice in the 5 hours I was on the site.
I don't have a table set up specifically for me, so what I do is finish a game and then immediately jump on to the next empty turbo table at the same level. If I'm changing levels I announce it in the chatbox and on the forum.
Some players are through to that freeoll for a quid, so I'm afraid I don't understand your point about buying-in direct. Firstly- the tournament they are winning entry to will be a private freeroll i.e. you can't buy-in direct. Secondly, there's two prizes in it-one worth £220 and the other worth £110, obviously possibly a heck of a lot more if the player then goes on to cash with their Roller seats.
Therefore you'd have to play and lose against me dozens of times for there not to be extra value i.e. impossible, firstly because you just can't lose hu against me that many times in a row (!) and secondly because at the rate of play yesterday I will only play about 80 people in total over the four Wednesdays.
Because of this, I've also changed the criteria. You now only need to beat me once, not three times.
It comes down to whoever shows the most initiative and tracks me on the tables, therefore has the best chance of jumping into an empty seat against me and playing me for a pound to five pounds to win entry into the freeroll.
Everyone who perservered last night, got in there.
I don't play anyone consecutively, so if they want a rematch against they have to come back later in the evening and try and nab that empty chair. As I say, I only played two players twice yesterday and that was enough because they won their second games.
Maybe if you sit at more than one table, this would be easier to get a game v you. find: richorford result: sitting in game emmmm !!! rinse and repeat and maybe he will be alone waiting for a player just constantly hitting refresh ) Gets a bit tedious :O maybe once found just rail and wait for game to finish then rinse and repeat and basically stalk him Posted by rancid
If you open the game in question, then you'll see when it's about to finish- you can hover over the empty turbo table in the lobby and then reg as soon as I've left the game.
Well, that's what I'd do anyway! ;-)
I did play several batches of games 2 at a time, but I would always lose one of them as to concentrate on turbo heads-up on two tables whilst chatting and posting on the forum is a bit too much.
Thank you for updating the list of players afterI had left, you may have gathered I wasnt feeling all that good by the time I had to go, and had to get up early too , but, will be back next week, ill, or not )))))))))))

I miss Baz's lists ;-) Can we have a comp to guess how many games Rich plays/how many players get through to freeroll?
How I got to play Rich was, I railled his game before and also had the sit & goes set up in another window, as soon as he finished I went striaght to the other window. I then saw the next game pop up and had time to check the lobby first then register. I managed to play him on only my second attempt of trying this method. Good luck to anyone else that gets to play him!
21 players got their chance last week- of which 12 went through. Will you manage to jump on my table tonight, beat me and win a seat into a MASSIVE free-roll for Roller Seats?
It's a no-brainer- if you're on the site tonight keep half an eye on where I am and take your chance!
In Response to Re: It's back on tonight- 7pm till midnight: Orf With His Head! Beat me Heads-Up for a place in a massive freeroll! : Hi Baz, ty for your help mate on this thread and the prediction one too. Not sure what's happened with your above post but it's not quite correct. 12 players are through in total and they are...
