"Unusually, let me start with Turbo which went to @Thoich& which gives me the opening I need to make mention of his Stack Builder results which I was unable to report about over the weekend as I was AWOL. As you know, there were 4 Stack Builder Freerolls, each with around 190 runners. Well he played all 4 & finished 1st, 1st, 4th & unplaced, earning himself (£2,700 + £2,700 + £752) some £6,152. Stunning stuff, many congrats to Thoichy. Over £6,000 from three Freerolls, who'd have thought? We've seen some terrific performances down the years on Sky Poker, & surely that's right up there amongst the best.
Talking of stuff I missed whilst AWOL, last Thursday, & for the 2nd week running,@NChanning won the new PLO8. It runs again tonight, & I'm relying on you guys to prevent the hat-trick, otherwise he'll be chirping for England. Even more remarkably, he so nearly won Saturday's PLO version too, eventually seen off by a great performance by @FORDAKIDZ. Good to see those two Super Seniors doing so well.
Back to the present, there was a smidgeon of overlay in the Main, which went to love him or hate him @Marmite11. Seems to only play 1 MTT per night, but has done very well of late - 3rd in Saturday's Turbo, 1st in Sunday's Quickdraw, 5th in Monday's Main & then the win last night. Considering they are only playing a single MTT per day that's some going, 1st, 1st, 4th & 5th from 5 MTT's. A big score in 2nd for @terrier922 who turned up for the first time in a fortnight, played a couple of £1.80 All-In Sats, winning the 2nd, & going home with £580, which is tidy money for someone who plays off an ABI of £4.40. It was his 3rd best result all-time after 12 years & almost 7,000 MTT's, beaten only by 2nd in a 2017 UKOPS & 5th in a 2020 boomlet Sharpshooter Main.
I was supposed to give @ILIKE2FISH free entry to the Mini but was unable to do it, so he registered anyway & went on to win it. Perfect ending really, and saved him being cross with me hopefully. Nice when a plan comes together like that. @mumsie only played three x £4.50 MTT's & ran 6th, so a nice bit of profit for Mr MML, & it's good to see his Sharky graph heading nicely north.
@bakersdoze is running into a bit of decent form, & won 9 @ 9 to add to a decent bunch of recent results. In 6th & making a relatively rare appearance in an MTT was @Jac35. That's at least his 2nd MTT FT since 2010.
That will have to suffice for now, whilst the battle to regain all my Passwords continues."
As expected on a quiet night for televised domestic football, MTT numbers were "OK", which beats bad & loses to good. The only overlay was £108 in Reload, so overall OK I suppose.
An excellent win for @PICKLE33 in the Main. Most of his action (around 70%) is at the cash tables but when he turns his hand to MTT's he seems to do quite well & has a healthy profit. Has quite an eclectic portfolio of results, as shown by his wins in 2024 alone which included a Sharpshooter Main, Mini Gold Rush, 9 @ 9, Reload, Mega & two £1k Rebuy BH's. 2nd was Stoke's @TIMBER with @D_Legend completing the podium & @Swifteyyeu 4th.
In December @smackpack suffered the disappointment of running 2nd in Avenger Mini so will have felt especially pleased to have won last night's Gold Rush version. Best result that I can recall was 1st place in a Mini UKOPS Rebuy back in 2020. In 4th place last night was @Hawkinni & by referring to the Main-Mini Leaderboards that @Slipwater constructs each day, we can see that he's now made more Mini FT's this year - 4 - than any other player. 6 Top 20's too, though he's yet to win one.
The £110 Summit went to the loveable & very popular @Gutshotter & when he's on the table the chat is always going to be lively, to say the least. What a FT it was too, with 2nd to 6th respectively going to @destinycod@GSmith13@ozzieowen@Jscorgie & @Swog. That's a tough FT by any standards.
@keczmo is rarely seen entering any MTT's after 8pm but does very nicely during the day & early evening, after which he logs off & maybe watches comedy greats like Miranda or Michael McIntyre. Or maybe not. Won last night's £800 BH just 24 hours after finishing 2nd in 7 @7. Has some solid scores though, including wins in the Sunday night £6k (as was) BH, & a Predator Main, as well as 2nd in an Avenger Main.
7 @7 winner @telboy4386 is another early evening specialist, this win coming just 24 hours after he narrowly missed making the FT of the Rebuy BH.
Yet another win for @lundie - the Rebuy BH this time. Was on site from lunchtime & made two other FT's too, finishing 2nd & 4th. Has a stunning CV which includes no less than SIX Avenger Main wins, each of which was back in the day when it had a £10,000 guarantee. Some might say he's really a SNG player, having played 56,000 of them compared to "just" 27,000 MTT's. Look at it any way you want, he's profitable in both disciplines & has banked over £100,000 in profit. Nice.
Reload went to @Thendo1987 who is perhaps best remembered for a purple patch in April 2022 when he won Quickdraw, MidEx & Mega in the space of a few weeks. 5th last night was @PICKLE33 who was also busy winning the Main.
The consistent @Makaka won Turbo, with @NChanning (who I notice swerved Summit) in 2nd place. Mr C seems to make a FT most nights these days. Wonderful to see his enthusiasm for the game remains intact after all these years.
@FBT22 only joined us in January & has played just 76 MTT's so far, hitting the woodwork repeatedly with FT's including Mini Major, MidEx, Mega, Sheriff & Turbo, so winning last night's Quickdraw was his maiden win & must surely have felt great.
A good session for @deloresdd who won a seat to Summit in a £24 satellite then took the cash, had a deep run into 27th in the Mini & then won MidEx.
That's it for today. Wrap up, it's colder than you think out there.
