UKOPS War Chest - The Mini Blog

Morning all,

Hope everyone is doing well in these rather challenging times!

For the next two weeks in the run up to UKOPS the goal is build up £3000.00 profit, mostly playing MTTs, starting from today, including rakeback/ promos/ tokens.

Whilst monetary goals are not ideal in poker, I wanted to put a tangible figure in there, this is all underpinned by striving to play well and mitigating mistakes at the tables.

The treasure trove, whatever that may be, will be used for UKOPS.

The goal is ambitious, and will require quite a bit of run good; although it is far better to shoot high than aim to low. If you say you going to do x, no matter how challenging, you have a far better chance of succeeding.

The great promo starting tonight is also a massive boost to the challenge.

Volume during these 2 weeks ideally will be 90%+ MTT's/ tourneys, where as last month would have been 98%+ cash.

Really looking forward to playing MTT's on a regular basis again. To start with will be playing an eclectic range of stake

Can't wait to begin the final table hunting and hopefully some binking!

Will keep a record + / minus as well as sharkscope, although might be a slight discrepancy due to rebuys on sharkie.

Bankroll: +/-

Sharkscope 16th Oct: 7331

    This sounds quite ambitious, Best of luck with it.

    Will you be playing standard MMT's or look at playing the satellites that start next week, these to me would seem a better option as is would remove some of the MTT variance or is that because i still don't understand the game.

    How many games do you plan on playing at once.

    I was thinking if doing similar but just concentration on getting the freeroll entry points and playing the low stakes satellites

    GL with this pal.....you will need it :)

    I take it you must be getting some coaching off Regi before you begin?

    I like your use of the term 'electric range' . That just means you will be tilt registering for every MTT going regardless of any BRM.

    Think he said "eclectic" not "electric", the latter would be a shocker.

    Ooops, my bad. It is hard to understand these Scots sometimes.

    Good luck Larson, lofty goals indeed! You'll need to bink a few big ones (unless you are planning insane volume) so fingers crossed 🤞🤑

    Good luck with it sir. I look forward to reading snide comments in discord when you take an aggro line and knock one of the discord regs out!

    Day 1: + £30.43

    Made 2 final tables on the day, with a 5th and a 6th, must do better!

    Managed to collect 3 bounties in the freeroll too which was sweet.

    A wee bit rusty, but not bad for 1st reasonable MTT session in a while.

    Enjoyed Waller's dulcet tones as the back ground music :D

    Yes mate standard MTT's and will maybe play some satellites next week but they are a bit of a rake trap. Last night I played something like 10 games, ideally i'll be playing 20+ MTT's a night. For sure get your freeroll entry points - it's a great promo.

    Ty mate, no regi coaching but he sent me a signed copy of his new book "fold".

    Good luck with this Larson

    Tyvm much mate, same to you with your 200nl challenge!

    Ty buddy, indeed it is a loft goal and a punchy figure, most importantly it's getting back into playing MTT's and playing well. I find it hard on Sky to play over 8+ MTTs at a time, but can easily play 10+ at cash, guess it's the small timebank/ MTT's can be a lot more intricate with the different stages.

    Tyvm buddy and well done on your charity fund raising, excellent work. Not sure how easy it is to monetise things like twitch, but you were really entertaining and i would for sure tune in should you decided to start it up again. Discord? You kids and your fancy technologies.

    Thank you. It is very hard to monetise and too difficult to set up without a lot of help for a tech noob like me so it's very unlikely. I'll just continue to be a knob in other people's channels I think :smile:

    I haven't been called a kid for a long time. I've been called many other way less complimentary things though and I wouldn't have that any other way.

    Stay safe chief!

    Thanks kind Sir

    Half way through the week:

    Bankroll: + £135.34

    Sharkscope + £61

    Freeroll Bounties = 5

    £3000.00 was indeed very optimistic! And derived from Fishhhh's post about the cost of all events being 3.6k

    New goal is to get as many credits under "Publish" on Sharkie + no of final tables/ 1st 2nd place finishes.

    Good luck with the challenge Larson! If you fall short of the target will you still be playing some UKOPS, or does whatever the profit total ends up being become the bankroll for UKOPS?

    Thank you very much Mozart.

    I will indeed be playing UKOPS irrespective of the out come of the challenge.
