Please keep the results coming in. I'll do the scoreboard on Monday morning (then daily) by which time we should have more reports/scores and achievements to list, with more of an inkling of what's what.
I've luckboxed my way into a biggish game tomorrow, so (for once) I'll be concentrating on it, please don't think I'm ignoring anyone but I'll have observer chat turned off. It'll be a struggle enough I reckon without someone piping up in observer chat about me being at-it all the time! It quite obviously goes without saying that I'll still be playing PLO8 at the same time, so if anyone sees me doing something daft on the telly, that'll be the place to give me grief.
ps. For sale, one ukops gold bracelet.
Oh and to try and even up all the posts showing people starting well in the challenge I played 5 and won.....1.
I think Tikay calls it a 'downswong', although it seems to be about my average recently. Included in those were a couple where one player in each got extremely short stacked and then managed to run their stacks back up until I went out, something I seem incapable of doing. If I continue to play this badly it may be quicker for me to just donate my bankroll to charity.
My personal goal is now to finish in the top 50!
Love to see you play NLH, PLO8 & PLO at the same time. Oh yes, I would LOVE that. Especially if you are on bottle of wine no 7, which you generally are by mid-evening.
And thanks for being my answer machine for the last 7 days :@P
GOOD LUCK.
I just had a look at the PLO thing for tonight, that starts at 2100, the HR starts at 1930.
I suspect the PLO is starting about 83 minutes too late for me to be playing both at the same time.
I'm just over half way through the competition, on about 60%ish I think. I haven't hit any sort of streak yet (win or loss) and it just doesn't feel as though anything like that is going to happen, I can't feel it if you know what I mean, so, I suspect I'll be finishing up somewhere around that 60% mark. Nothing spectacular, respectable only, but sometime on Monday the score will be there for all to beat.
ps. When I knock this moomin bloke out tonight, why don't I get a free entry into the ME next weekend?
I'll be lucky to finish this at 60% for sure.

Thanks everyone for support last night, sorry I didn't reply until after the bubble, for once I concentrated!
Chuffed to bits for you
How many bags of Twiglets does that buy?
I should have known really on the FT that I was facing a monster hand, a min raise from that position, but with JJ and only 10 Big Blinds left, I kinda think I did the right thing by getting the lot in. In fact I'm sure it was the right thing to do. I didn't get that far to just try and ladder another place, I wanted to win the thing! So I gottem in hoping I was flipping or that I'd be lucky. Nevermind.
It was really interesting to play the game actually. My plan played itself out perfectly. I knew there'd be some serious players there and that I couldn't outplay them, I knew they'd use sharky and see that I wasn't a tournament player, so I played it super passive for 30 minutes, let em take my blinds, didn't defend once. Luckily after an hour or so I found top set on the flop, managed to double up and knock out one poor soul who hit middle set and that set me going. Played super passive again for an hour, let em steal my blinds, then hit another big hand to knock someone else out. After that, my plan of creating a super tight image obviously worked as I was at-it left right and centre! I didn't have a genuine hand for another two and a half hours, but every twenty minutes or so I went for it. Only 'orrible situation was when I was moved to a table with the top 4 stacks and me when I was about position 9 or 10 out of 15, I knew I'd be the target but luckily only had to defend blinds a couple of times whilst I had junk and before I knew it, I was moved to new table as we were down to 12 players left. Yet again, before I knew it, it was FT. so, Mission accomplished and win £100 from freerolls challenge completed!
Thanks Neil, I think you're being too kind, I was lucky to be honest. I had to throw a couple of three barrel bluffs into the mix in the last couple of hours just to stick around and luckily I never got looked up come the river.
