Thx Paul.

Right- I'm off and running. Main...mini shortly, and aiming to satellite into the £55 Bounty Hunters later on.

RICHORFORD

Not bad, not bad. Got about 3 hours into the main and mini but didn't cash, but then entered an 86 runner £22 Bounty Hunter and came 2nd!

Spent a bit on rebuys, add-ons and satellite entries tonight, £89. But finished the session with a £245.14 win.

So, profit this evening was a non-too-shabby £156.14. :-)

Here's the new and improved Sharkscope...

Now just £205 away from having a website career profit of £1! Which believe it or not, after 8 years of play and much money spent is massive for me.

Still going strong after 2 months of 2015- who'd have thought?

See ya next week!

mrsduck

Well done!

Which means, after 8 years on the site, my tournament graph has finally moved into profit as of today.

I'm £279 up on my Sky Poker MTT career. And £1565 up in 2015 so far. Mission accomplished for 2015 already :-) Will now have to think of a new target.

Thanks to everyone who came and dropped by this evening to say hello.

Cheers. No actual coach, but it feels like everything's finally clicked into place after years of listening to experts in the studio.

I guess I've received the best coaching around in that respect.

Also, I'm playing a bit more regularly at the mo...once a week.

Maggiesdad

Well played sir and best wishes for the future

My bad, i though tikay was actively coaching you or was that just an excuse you were using while things weren't going so well? are any of the sky presenters coming to the Forum even in newcastle this weekend?

And it's only February  ;-))  MY advice STOP playing NOW!  That way come end of the year (November) you'll still be up!!

oh and VERY well done.

Every donk has its day ! :-)

Nice one Rich

GELDY

now look what you've made me do - i'm not here any more - can't leave without saying congrats though

great set of results

you've truly come of age this year

vwp

ever thought of writing a sequel to your last book "four to a straight"

you could call it " from stooge to idol: my life with TK"

MAXALLY

Brilliant mate! You know you should get the suits to show that FT on Thursday's last show. Getting Tikay to talk through your win with a curly bottom lip will be comedy gold.

Hope this sets you up nicely now to progress further this year.....but, PLEASE use some good BRM.

Thanks mate. Appreciate your support for the channel and site over the years.

RICHORFORD

Thanks guys for all the kind comments.

Perhaps it's fitting that as the channel finishes, I suddenly get better at poker. I don't think it would have suited 861 for me to be anything other than hopeless at the game.

:-)

liamboi11

vwp mate 

defo should be mentioned on the last show,it is confirmed you are a winning poker player now

goldnballz

Nice result Richard, vwp!

mrsduck

VWP Rich! Will miss you on the tele, gl for the future!

BorinLoner

Well done Richard. Shame the world is ending at midnight tonight. Make your peace with your loved ones.

Nice job lad.

RICHORFORD

Another reasonable result tonight.

Was resigning myself to being the bridesmaid in every MTT going- must have entered 3 or 4 to no avail, when my last one- an 84 runner £11 BH- resulted in second place.

A total of £36 profit on the night, after all buy-ins were accounted for.

Will post an updated Sharkscope next time.

Definitely enjoying my poker at the mo. :-)

RICHORFORD

Hi all,

 

Haven't posted for a little while and I’m playing on the site again tonight, so thought I'd drop by and update.

 

Bit of an (expected) downswing in my Sharkscope fortunes since I last posted a graph back in March. Let's reveal the brutal facts:

 

So I'm down £413 on my Sky Poker MTT career from a high earlier this year of plus £279.

 

I'm still £561 up during 2015, but I've definitely taken a tumble.

 

And that's where tonight comes in…hopefully! Playing the main and mini, trying to qualify for the 9pm BH which I won a few weeks ago and generally looking for a decent cash.

 

See you at the tables!

mrsduck

Best of luck!!

RicOrford

Thanks Mrs. D!

So- it's gone midnight, I've been playing for four and a half hours and here's the state of play...

Just gone out the main- 3 off the bubble!!!

Still in the mini- and we've just burst the bubble. Although I'm currently 22nd out of 24 remaining. 

Watch this space!

RicOrford

Finished 14th in the mini for £30.

A very deep run in a field of 210 but I'm a little disappointed as I was chip leader with about 40 players left and was also flying high in the main at the same time.

Oh well, better than nothing. :-)

Back next week.

Gl rich. im sure at this rate not only will you be on aussies 'value' table but also 'most improved'. impressive stuff, from being the butt of many a joke on the couch of 861, to ft'bling main events and binking £55 bh's!!

Thanks mate!

Is this value table of Aussie's a real thing? Can someone post a link to it?

aussie09

hi richard,

it compares heads and points.  those with a strong ratio of heads to points earned are the most fearless.  those with strong points and few heads per game are value players. 

there is a minimum threshhold to ensure there is a reasonable confidence in the results and to give interpretations that are quite reliable.

you seem to do well in the lower table.  fearless is not your middle name.
