Well firstly I'll discuss TSP I mentioned in my last post that I might have to sacrifice Priority because I'm bust this weekend. I'm going down for the team gathering on Thursday and fingers crossed we'll be there till Sunday so think I'll give Priority a miss this month.
Being a part of TSP is something I have ALWAYS wanted to do, virtually from as soon as I joined the site and saw any footage of the TSP guys (back then it was like Gliterbabe and Redmond etc), I always wanted to get in via the league system but just never played enough/high enough to have any chance.
When I got an email from Tikay yesterday asking me to give him a call, I obviously had suspicions what it is was about and was just like 'wow, please tell me I'm not jumping the gun!'. Was so happy when he offered me the place and am really excited to represent TSP at such a big event.
The opportunity to win £100k+ is great but that really is secondary for me, and whatever happens I know it's gonna be alot of fun and a really great experience.
As for tonight, I heard Hartigan on 861 talking about there was so much overlay in the ME at 8pm, they were like 200 runners short of the guarantee and obv some will come thru late reg but I figured it was still gonna finish with overlay and Emma convinced me to play.
So I late-regged the ME only about 5 mins late and was bust before the mini even started lol, got it in with what I thought was TPTK v FD... turned out to be TPTK v AA... gg me.
Then I meant to de-reg from the mini but never got round to it and it ended up loading so I had no choice but to play. I won't lie, I ran VERY well, only 1 sick outdraw all game when I got it in Q8 v AQ and binked the 8, apart from that I was just getting it in good and holding but that is most definitely a form of rungood.
So there were 496 runners and I went and took it down for a total of £398.29 which is by far my biggest cash on Sky to date. Prior to that my biggest was only about £120.

@Larson - I'm not really 100% sure yet, all the details are gonna be sent to me but I know it includes the £1100 buy-in to the Monte Carlo tourney at Dusk Til Dawn and probably a Sky Poker hoody etc (Emma seems to have already called dibs on this lol). I'll let you know when I know.
Yeah, what a day! What a month really! Hope my rungood lasts till the weekend.

Over the moon for ya mate.
Brilliant choice for TSP and im certain you will do yourself and the team proud.
Also WD on winning the mini mate, like i told you last week it only takes one bink to boost that br.
Right, this is gonna be my last post for a good few days, as I'm heading off to Nottingham later today. I'll be leaving around 3pm to get to my hotel for about 5ish. Meet up with the team at 6pm and try not to get too drunk before the big day.
Got my game plan sorted, Friday crush, Saturday crush some more, Sunday win it
I'm useless when it comes to having the latest gadgets/phones etc so my phone doesn't even know what the internet is. Bit of a shame as I can't keep people updated on Twitter or anything but TK and Orford are gonna be there reporting on it and I'm sure as there's only a small group of us, they should be providing pretty regular updates.
Most of you will know the general idea of how my Monte Carlo went but I'm gonna write a post on here about it all tomorrow. I was gonna do it tonight but lots to say and it's been a really long day and I just need to get to bed.
I played 1hr 30 mins of 3tabling 30NL tonight. There was a reason I was 3tabling but dunno if I can mention it, so I'll leave it at that. I finished +£28.93 for the night.

FWIW, I'd be calling him with sets, but obv he has the worst set so that's not great for him lol.
