Rainman's £2.20 @ 2.20? FREE UKOPS ENTRY UP FOR GRABS?
I'll be playing Rainman's £2.20 @ 2.20 today, alongside the £22 Omaha @ 2pm.
If - & only if - Rainman's MTT gets 100 or more runners, whoever busts me in Rainman's £2.20 @ 2.20 will get FREE ENTRY into tomorrow's "UKOPS DEEP" Warm Up MTT @ 4pm, which has an £11 entry.
Good luck!

I ought to manage top 3 based on curent field size......
Groan. Can't get rid of that woman.
She's only entered to spite me.
Thank you for taking time to participate, just made it back from work.
All the best.

p.s looks like a strong field..In Response to Rainman's £2.20 @ 2.20? FREE UKOPS ENTRY UP FOR GRABS?:
The winner thoroughly deserved his win, he played the best poker. He busted me when I raised into him with a big hand, & he had a biggerer hand.
Really enjoyable afternoon, that.
What a brilliant structure, deep stacked and 12 minute blinds and all for just a couple of pounds!
I wish the two hands I played against TK could have been recorded somehow! Let's just say we threw our brains away for two hands to have fun. Anyone watching who wasn't aware of our PLO8 daftness, must have thought we'd gone mad.
Well done rainman for promoting the thing, I'll defo play again.
I made it known in the ChatBox before the hands were dealt, two or 3 hands earlier in fact, that if it was walked to Macac in the SB, & she shoved, (I knew she would) I would call blind in the BB.
I was rather hoping someone would limp in, or raise before it got to Macac, but they all folded, sigh.
I don't recall the exact hands, but they were something like...
Macac shoves, I call "blind" as promised. I did not like my call much, until I saw her hand......
Maca 4-2
Me - 5-7
I doubled up.
An orbit later, same thing, Maca 5-3, me 6-2. I busted her......
It''s what poker's about, eh, having a bit of fun?
I would not have done this if anyone else was in the hand, that'd be a tad naughty.
Tremendous fun, & after that, I settled down & (tried to) play it properly, & win the thing.
Incred fun for £2.20.
I did promise an £11 Free Entry into todays UKOPS Deep Stack Warm Up @ 2pm IF yesterday's £2.20 @ 2.20 got 100 runners, but it fell way short, & only got about 76 or so.
I can't really award the Prize on that basis, as if I make an exception here, people will expect it every time, so no prize I'm afraid.
So......
If Rainman appears on this thread in time today, I'll arrange Free Entry for him into that UKOPS Deep Stack which starts at 4pm this afternoon. It'd be rather nice if the £2.20 @ 2.20 regulars could rail him in that, I think.
Calling Rainman, calling Rainman........
I dont know what to say, a very generous offer.
Thank you so much, and for all your help on promoting the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack.
Also a massive thank you for all the players who have played in the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack in the last year.
Watched your play against Macacgirl was in stitches, to me that is what poker is all about, also had great fun on my table earlier with Hhyfydrftdr and waller02 2 really funny guys,and made the £2.20 a great investment.
Once again thank you very much Sir Tikay, you are a true gentleman.
All the best.

Fingers crossed, your name should appear in the Lobby shortly.
Good luck mate, & I really hope the £2.20 @ 2.20 regulars all rail you in that UKOPS thing.
You've effectively agreed to consolidate your stacks, giving the winner of the flip a free rebuy and a significant advantage over his or her opponents. Would you still have made third place in this tournament without that double-up?
I've no idea how far into the tournament this happened, but had the UKOPS entry been available macagirl1 would have had a far greater chance of winning it than anybody else.
Best of luck rainmain, hope you run deep and will certainly pop along to rail you.
Lighten up a bit Gary.
It's impossible to say if I would have finished 3rd without that double up, but I agree, it's highly unlikely.
No "naughtyness" or ill-intent existed, it was spur of the moment, & just intended as fun. The rest of the Table seemed to enjoy & applaud the "spirit" of it.
I'm more than happy to donate my winnings to charity if anyone thinks my actions were unethical.
It was, genuinely, just a bit of fun between two fierce competitors & good friends, not pre-meditated in any way, & not intended to confer any advantage over anyone.
"effectively agreed to consolidate stacks" was certainly not how it was intended, it never crossed my mind.
I do see your point, though.
Apologies to anyone who felt this was improper.
Incidentally, there is no "Late Reg" for this MTT, so the 100 runners criteria never came into it.
Been blown completely out of proportion.
The way Sir Tikay and Macacgirl were playing was purely for fun and enjoyed by everyone at the table and the railers, i am sure no one at the table saw it as a way to double up.
Also the late reg lasts 12 minutes and was well over by the time this had happened, and was well short of 100 runners.
All the best.

Late Reg had closed by the time it happened, but I don't really have a precise memory of what stage it arose. I thought it was early doors, maybe early to mid. I know I had 7,000 or so, & Macac had double that.
