    At the third break...

    Main event 23rd out of 66 remaining (starting field 292)

    Mini event 47th out of 67 remaining (starting field 189)

    Top 30 get paid in the main, top 21 get paid in the mini.

    Hope I'm still in both at the fourth break!

    Not the greatest seat draw in the main.

    Chipleader is sat to my left.

    The dream is over for another week...

    Out in 45th in the main (15 off the money)

    And out in 47th in the mini (26 off the money)

    This was my exit hand in the main event- which made Tommy D the chip leader..the luckbox ;-)

    racing against MrD, never a good idea.

    looks like you were right to turn down the offer of a last longer...........

    ....... as i guess you realized you wouldn't be able to beat 3rd!

    Previously...on Orford's jackpot quest....

    Out in 45th in the main (15 off the money)

    And out in 47th in the mini (26 off the money)

    So this week, I dust myself down and go again. The main and mini rebuys for me tonight and to beat those figures above is the target. 

    Look forward to playing and chatting with you on the tables! I'm playing under the alias 'ricorford'

    I did that! Good advice.

    Finished about 30 or 40 off the money in the main and 12 off the money in the mini.

    I'll just keep hitting that crossbar I guess for now.

    Which is at least better than Mario Balotelli is managing!

    Afternoon all,

    Going to be playing on the site again tonight.

    Last week I managed to turn a profit in the £10,000 UKOPS Bounty Hunter, by satelliting in for £24 in the Late Reg Semi and then taking three heads for roughly £120.

    I then just faded the cash spots by 4 places.

    So, a reasonably solid performance to build on this week as I go once more for the Wednesday Rebuy Main Event and Mini Jackpot.  8pm and 8.30pm. 

    Hope to see you all there again. Come and say hello.

    :-)

    maybe because no-one bothers with sats for rebuys. hardly worth winning 1/3 of the minimum sensible buyin.

    gl anyway

    Fair point- although it's all good practice though for bigger satellites.

    It's my weekly foray on to the site tonight. And as usual I'll be kicking off proceedings by playing in the main rebuy event and the mini.

    I'm hoping that I can finish off the year with a decent cash in one or the other. Preferably both!

    Come and say hello tonight on the tables- my alias is ricorford.

    GAME ON!

    It's all gone horribly wrong, hasn't it? We could have gone 7th if we'd beaten Newcastle about 3 weeks ago.

    Dunno about you, but I'm already doing that thing of looking for the three teams who are worse than us in the division. 

    I think we just about scrape above QPR, Leicester and Burnley and so should finish 'un'comfortably 4th from bottom.

    Still, it's that type of league table where 2 or 3 bad results puts you into relegation trouble and 2 or 3 good ones puts you in contention for the Champions League, so maybe we'll get it together soon!

    Off and running.

    Loaded up my table 15 mins into the main event- was down to 1800 chips, rebought immediately to 3800- and then over the last couple of hands have taken that back over the 4K mark to 4400.

    So, happy at the moment, got a proper starting stack!

    Good luck all!

    Lol- thanks Gran.

    Yes, I might well be now, because as you know, because you railed me- I came third in tonight's main event for £804.56.

    Watch this space...

    Good start to 2015 for me!

    Talk about peaking early!

    Thanks Mrs D. And HNY to you too. 

    Still sinking in this morning.

    Went out to a sick bad beat as well. Really thought I was going to win it. Kudos to Patcho and BearlyThere for some fantastic play.

    J-Q-x flop - 2 hearts

    I've JQ and shove my 20 BBs.

    Get called by 2nd in chips (also with around 20-23 BBs) with A-Q (ace of hearts)

    Runner-runner low hearts to give him the backdoor flush.

    Yuck.

    Was a cooler though to be fair. It's just that I went in as a massive favourite.
