Sorry for the lateness, but needed time to reflect on the morning after the night before.
My evening couldn't have started off worse, losing my internet connection for an hour put me in real bad mood and I was really stressing at losing an hour.
My plan tonight was to play just Cash and the odd MTT, got off to a real bad start start losing a buyin on a AKJ board me holding AJ oppo AK. SIGH.. I then took the decision after another 30 mins of hitting absolutly nothing to stop the cash. I was trying to push opponents around but when they kept firing back at me, I decided enough was enough and I was off to multi table MTT's.
I started a £50 DYM to try and get even for the night, 4 left and shoved SB Q9 and got looked up by chip daddy with J9, send the J high flop and j turn GG me. I just felt at this point nothing was going to go right for me and really wanted to turn the lappie off and go to bed. But I battled on playing just MTT,s. The ME didn't really start for found some good positions but again no one ever believed my raises and I couldn't connect a flop.
I grinded away on about 6 MMT tourneys but had no luck in any managed to take a few bounties but never cashed in any.
Overall as I had said to my Mentor, if I had the choice of not playing last night the lappie would have stayed off. Sometimes the mood just doesn't grab you and that day was yesterday, never mind no excuses was just one of those days.
The whole experience of Total Player has been unreal. Like all the other comments by my fellow TPer's the railing between the community and the players has been fantastic, of which I will never forget. I would like to wish everyone the very best of luck for Saturday, glad I'm not a mentor. Everyone deserves to go through this competition has been very tough , not only are you all good players your all great people too, people who I look upon as good friends.
Unfortunately some of you are unable to make the 9 seater SNG these evening, and as a result having conferred with Naomi as it was her idea, we've decided to not go ahead with the game.
All that remains is for me to say is that I wish you all the best of luck for Saturday and that you all "run good" on your own accounts over the forth coming evenings.
How must the TP-ers feel today? Well 6 of them will feel terrific at 11pm tonight. 3 will not. Brutal stuff. To remind everyone, here are the Nervous Nine. Dantb10 Dohhhhhhh GliterBabe lJAMESl Nutter5932 Phil12UK Sharksbite Sparce Yipeeyappee Posted by Tikay10
The nervous nine will then have to become the super six...(what is the password for that Barry?, LOL) GOOD LUCK TO ALL of you tonight, it will be tough me thinks.
Hey all, I dnt think this week has been as close as most thought. Im not nervous or excited at all this morning, just resigned, and I feel YippeeYapee will be the same, having had a bad week and then not even turning up for the final round robin sit and go. - I guess he is as resigned as I am.
The people I guess who will be feeling it, are Sbite, Sparce and James, these guys are all in with a shout, the other 2 groups are pretty much automatic decisions.
Still looking forward to the shows tonight though, MC and TP - Saturday night on SPoker is wikkkid.
Gl to SB, Sparce and James tonight, and the rest of you in the next round - I got the email about the next stage, and can't wait to watch it!

Thanks Dohh, and best of luck 2 you too, and every other Tp. Its not a nice feeling for sure, but none of us know the outcome yet so keep positive Good luck guys!!!
Good Luck to all 9 of you tonight - I bet your nervous now!! To the three that don't make it through, just remember that you have done well to get this far and take away the positives from the competition!! And good luck to the 6 of you who do go through to the Phase 3!!
Just would like to add my best wishes to you all tonight you all deserved to get this far and by the very nature of the contest only six can go through its been tough and will surely only get tougher but thats why you got picked,because people believe that you have what it takes,it certainly has been great entertainment well done to you all and much respect yours Mark aka Mabsue
Yep, good luck to everyone. will all be a very close shout. think the only conclusive one is yippy likely to be out. Dohh, u won a tourney!! definitely still in it and i thought u played class in it!!!
Good luck to my fellow two team mates. Come what may we all have an excellent game and its a super tough decision for matt tonight.
Good Luclk to all you TP_ers, well done.You have given it everything you've got to get this far.You have all got the required skills, but as you know in Poker you need that little bit of luck as well.Lets hope the poker gods are smiling on you tonight. Whatever happens , you are all great sports.
Just to say I'm enjoying the show tonight - goodness knows what the nervous nine are going through but well played every single one of you - you have been excellent and done Skypoker proud! Good luck all :-) xxx Shaz
Just to say, well done Naomi and David, and HUGE comiserations to James. A truly impressive display by all, and by no means an easy decision to make - especially as I've spent so much time with James, both as part of the TP compo and just as a really nice bloke to chat with on MSN and email.
Hi there, as a player who has not been able so see much of the TP on TV (moved house twice in 2 wks) , but catching it tonite, i think that you should have more info on the TV such as showing the remaining players names on screen before they go out so we know who's who and what they've won so far. this wuld make much more interesting tv ! i'll have to try and watch more so i know wots going on !
