Well done for completing.

That will make you 2nd on the leaderboard.

Phantom66 · August 2016

Short winning run brought to an end by the champ tonight but at least back over 50%.

I'm 84/165 now.

OP updated with new entrant Chris_Mc and new 2nd place leaderboard for mr cheez.

Chris_Mc · August 2016

Cheers for adding me. A change though since thise stats.

Currently

125 played. 70 won.

bbMike · August 2016

Hello, it's been a while.

Just reached the halfway house. 286/500.

Presumably, as it's a challenge for 2016, the challenge for most will be to get it finished?!

It will be for me, that and not going broke trying :-)

Phantom66 · September 2016

Ok been a while.

I am now 102/194 = 52.6%

If anyone else wants to update I'll get the table refreshed before my hols.

bbMike · September 2016

Giving this a bump, haven't had a lot of time for PLO8 whilst the points promos are on as I can make points (and lose cash) much faster on the NLH games.

My half-marathon result is just above Phantom, I'm somewhere around the 570 mark in games atm but I like to update in round numbers.

Phantom66 · September 2016

OP Updated including bbMike's appearance on the half marathon leaderboard.

I managed 3/3 last night in spite of a malfunctioning pointer on my keyboard to be 105/197.

Guaranteed a profitable 2nd 100 games after a disasterous 1st 100.

Phantom66 · September 2016

Just completed 200 +1 for luck

W	P	%
108	201	53.73%

2nd 100 was 58/200, about where I think should be. Hopefully that rate will continue for a while.

Any more updates before I do the OP?

The champ and 67Bhoys have gone very quiet...

ajmilton · September 2016

just waiting to hit the 1k

Should be done in the next few days .

adzbo · September 2016

Hi all,

I'm not officially in this but I hit the 500 mark a while ago, with 306/500 for 61.2% or so.

The next couple of hundred have been way more raggy though and I had a massively slump which has dropped me down to 405/708 for roughly 57.20%

Phantom66 · September 2016

Hi adz, sorry you are not "officially" in, not that you are losing out on much, like a prize or anything.

I have been happy to accept "late" entries, with the only proviso that results should count from after the declaration of joining.

Still, some good numbers there, WP. Always helps to track your results and feel free to keep posting here.

When I started this I expected to be playing mainly PLO8 this year with the aim of gettign through 1000, it looks increasingly unlikely I will do that. Partly the bad start didnt help, but then all of the great Rewards Accelerator and Happy Days keep me off the PLO8 tables too.

As the nights draw in I expect I will get more PLO8 running, I certainly get more enjoyment out of the game and the atmosphere on the tables. May just have to revise my personal target to 500 for the year though.

stuarty117 · September 2016

Hi

293 played and 177 wins

60.4% winrate.

Probabaly only get 500 myself as this is my 2nd choice game. Still on course for 300.wins.

Hi Phantom,

No worries at all, that's cool. The results are from roughly March/April as that's when I started playing on Sky. Had I known about the forum and this thread at the time I'd have signed up then but I only found out about them both in the last couple of months by which point I was already a few hundred games in.

Yeah, tracking numbers and games is handy. I was seeing a girl a few years back and she was a whizz with excel and made an awesome spreadsheet for me so I've been tracking all my results with that for about 10 years or so.

Reading that back, it seems I should probably get out more...

Ha! And they say romance is dead, right?! Clearly when I lived in Leeds romance was still alive and kicking!

Results in for 1,000 games for ajmilton

I wasn't expecting miracles which is just as well, because i didn't get one.

At the start of the year i didn't actually think i would complete 1.000 games.

as a matter of fact i'm 59 games into the next 1,000

My realist goal was for 51%, well i fell short of that.

According to ger and dodgy knowledge of sharkscope

my win rate was 486.....= 48.6%

fill yer boots Craig lad (ohh, i await the backlash )

Regards Alan (plo8 champ obv's not dym's) *this time*

You're still a champ in my eyes mr Milton.

If I could be so bold as to try and offer a suggestion re DYM play (you dont need it for MTTs as A UKOPS champ) read Tikay's reply to adzbo on "gap theory".

gerardirl · September 2016

Funny that a couple of players entered this and its now September and they have posted no results!

Some strange people out there

.

bbMike · September 2016

Made it to 600 tonight.

346/600.

I've also been playing way more holdem DYMs due to attractive points promos lately, may miss the 2016 deadline!

OP Updated.

I'll keep the "non-reporters" up for now just in case.

If I don't hear from them by the end of October I'll drop them.
