2015 HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR!
We're barely two weeks into the New Year- but what has been your high point so far?
For me- 3rd in my first main event of the year. (Anyone would think I was looking for an excuse to bring this up again...)
Let's have yours, no matter how big or small!
At around 11.30pm we'll award Tuesday Turbo Open main event seats for our three favourite messages of the night.
Over and out. For now...

Winning the PLO8 weekly league a couple of weeks ago.
Best 2 from 4.
Got a 3rd and a 5th.
Look forward to show
My highlight so far this year is asking Mr Channing to play the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack, and he has agreed to play when he has a spare afternoon.
Would also consider it a great honour if Mr Mahenholz and the beautiful Mrs Barauskite could spare the time to participate in the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack.
All the best

1. Being "headhunted" to join the delightful Outlaws team
2. Beating the delightful FlashFlush heads up in a £22BH on friday (for £200+ my biggest cash for ages)
Have a great show!
If I win a tuesday turbo ticket, please give it to Rainman397, or another Outlaw, as I work Tuesday nights.
Thanks!

My work's Christmas night out in early December ending up in a casino where I ran into a (very drunk) friend of mine who was doing a fantastic job of losing most of the money he had sat down at the £1/£2 cash table with. I told him to stand before he lost the rest of it. Annoyed, he gave me the £40 of chips he had left and told me to 'do better'. I didn't really fancy playing, but I sat with his money and spun it into £250...
...at which point I hit upon the fantastic idea of attempting to take advantage of the Christmas drinking culture and maybe win a few quid along the way. I keep the coffee flowing while they sink the alcohol. It's also fair to say that the standard of live play is comparatively very poor.
I've gone there every Friday/Saturday night since and (completely unexpectedly) made more money doing so than in my day job, so the highlight of 2015 is realising that I'm not out of my depth at the live cash tables... and making some nice pocket money too
Hi Rich, Karl & the gorgeous Daiva.
I usually watch the show due to Rich Orfords Charismatic delivery of poker terminology, his in depth hand analysis & his extremely competent guests......however..........
Daiva is on the show tonight, so unfortunately anything Rich & Guests have to say will seam incomprehensible due to my inability to hear anything other than what Daiva has to say.
Highlight of the year so far........
Finishing 2nd last night in the 12K Bounty Hunter for just over 900 quid (Slightly better than Rich did in his final table efforts. (but that being said...i've never won a side event or the £2.20 deepstack)
Question For Daiva....
in 2010 you mentioned a Heads-Up challenge v's Tony G....Did this ever happen & if so what was the outcome?
Have a great show guys
sats
2 of the last 3 MTT main events have seen me get past the bubble having qualified for the event through a sat and today could be my 4th.
doing direct entry can cause concerns on exiting when a chip stack is short, but when i gain entry via the sats, I am able put full focus on my actual poker game.
another high is how much use the chris moorman book is at helping me with my MTTs.
i did try to do the unthinkable today and win the £2.20 @ 2.20 but i busted in the respectable place of 46th
i have had a pretty good start to the year and had a few cashes so trying to carry this on for the rest of the year
Starting of the Tournament Leader Board 2015 Charity Competition.
£1,715 Raised so far!
Thanks to all involved!
Cheers Graham (StayOrGo)
My own poker highlights for the year are:
1. Doubling my Bankroll since 1/1/15 (yes it was low to start with!)
2. Making the FT in my first attempt at the FOSP PLO8 Thursday night tournament and seeing plenty of new players trying the format.
Hoping for some bigger and better claims before the end of the year - but you did say no matter how small.
There have been TWO winners of the Final Table Jackpot this year.
Conor (bearlyther) Gilmore and not to forget Chris (rspca12) Cunliffe
Cheers Graham

Hello Richard, Karl and Daiva,
My highpoint of 2015 so far .. Winning entry into tonight's ukops quarter final on last Tuesdays show...
Lowpoint... Logging on at 7.15pm and realising the game has already finished.
#shouldhavecheckedthegametime
Is Daiva playing all the UKPC events?
Learning to open the betting with 3BB instead of just limping.
(It's been a slow year)
in a hand just gone he tried a 3bet raise on the river as an attempt to bluff a missed draw and unfortunely it failed.
i call the hand preflop with the decision to fold the flop if my hand misses.
863388982
Q. when he goes all in, i'm thinking he might be now feeling a bit tilted, does this give me much more chance of being ahead or was it still too big a risk?(need to be a forum reader to get that one)
Highlight of 2015 So Far?
Nothing of any real note. Won six DYMs on the trot (two against Tikay).
Think I need to pick up the pace a bit.
