Guerilla tactics are keeping me ahead of Richard. I'm hanging grimly on for now... I surely won't win, but hopefully Mr. Orford will be seen off. Posted by BorinLoner
I can't win the prize of my own comp- so it doesn't matter where I finish- it's whoever else is in front who gets the seat.
That said, I always like to post a moral victory and test myself against the community.
There is only 1 chance in the whole last hour. The Sky Suits should put on 3x 15 minute ones. That would mean that there would be carnage in those 3. I'm in the 23:40 so will hopefully come with a late rally. Best of luck to the rest of you in that one. I just hope I don't post a good total and get surpassed by someone in the 60 minute one that finishes at 00:05.lol. Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham

I'm getting the powers-that-be to look into putting on more timed tourneys on a Wednesday Shaun as from next week. Watch this space.
I am weeping. Are you happy now? Beaten at the last by that fella off the telly... I'll never live it down. Posted by BorinLoner
Don't mess with the bloke on the box, is the moral of that story John. ;-)
Although stick around, looks like you've won tonight's star prize of the BH seat for tomorrow as the best ROI on the night (presenters NOT inclded of course!)
Well done sir. You play in tomorrow night's Sky Sports Bounty Hunter for free!
Check the lobby tomorrow to find your name in it and let me know if you have any problems.
Good luck and thanks to everyone who gave it a go.
I'll be back for another night of it next Wednesday so see you there and meantime see you on Sunday at 7pm on Channel 865 for five hours of live Sky Poker TV with Tikay.
That feels dirty. Taking a prize for second place... but with that said, I feel no shame so will happily accept.
After giving you a hard time all night I've also got a nice hand lined up to send in to the show on Sunday, as promised. Butchered it good and proper, I did. You'll like it.
All you've got to do is record the biggest profit in a single timed tournament between 7pm till midnight this Wednesday night.
That's it!
It's a really fun challenge and you can give it as many goes as you want.
The prize for the player who beats the rest on the night?
A free seat into Thursday night's 12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter! (which we'll be covering on the live Sky Poker TV show)
Here's what you'll need to do-
As soon as you've cashed in a timed tourney tonight- cut and paste proof on to this thread and then calculate your Return On Investment (ROI) below- like this:
Machka705011£17.62 £400 Gtd 30 mins
Buy-in £5.50
Prize- £17.62
Profit= £12.12 (£17.62 - £5.50)
divided by the buy-in (£5.50)
= 2.20
multiplied by 100 to give a percentage
= 220%
So, it doesn't matter how low the buy-in is, or how long the timed tournament goes on for, because only the ROI is important!
You can keep recording scores all night. I'll just take the single best individual result from all entries as the winner at midnight.
Last time BorinLoner took the honours with a solid score of 227.5%.
NOW WE WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AGAIN THIS WEEK. SO FROM 7PM, THE FIRST PERSON TO POST AN ROI OF, SAY 1%, WOULD BE LEADING.
You should post even if it's only a small ROI because you never know how many people will enter and, as a result, if you're lowly score might turn out to be the best one.
So, do you think you have what it takes to be the champion of timed tournaments?
Only one way to find out!
I'll be on the site from 7pm myself playing timed tourneys and Mastercash tables till midnight.
See you there and good luck!
PS- Can anyone beat my record of 1226%? Yes, I posted that a fortnight record and I think it's a website record. Beat it, if you can!
Oh, and due to popular demand, we've added another timed tourney this Wednesday so there's not big gaps during the night and a game kicks off at regular intervals.
It's a £250 Gtd timed tournament for 30 minutes with a £5.50 buy-in and it starts at 19.45.
