UKOPS Day 3 Review
Happy Monday for MTT-ers who were able to Step On with more overlay yesterday.
In the Main, which fell 8 shy, not too many Community faces cashed, though there were a few familiar names, with BrayCorp & Barrie26 adding to their considerable MTT stash.

The Mini sailed over the Guarantee with plenty to spare, & a good few faces cashed.
Honourable mentions go to kickastink, MTT hotpot winner5603, & the delightfully named timeforbed.
Was good to see Scotty77, runner up in the HR, continue his rich vein of form, he's on an upsurge at last after a torrid 2015.
"KidGrimsby" - who I mentioned yesterday, had another cash, well done Dave.
In the "blast from the past" department, was great to see Sharksbite, who was a big time winner on Sky Poker as long ago as 2009, have a cash yesterday.
She was runner up in the first ever Viva Las Vegas Final, 1st won a trip to Vegas, & Sharksbite, in 2nd, had to make do with just.....£9,900 in cash. MBN.
As it happened, she wanted that cash for her business, (think she owned a fishery or somesuch?) so it worked out nicely really. Later, her husband won SPT Swansea or Cardiff unless my memory is playing tricks. And it might be.
Day 3 action began at 2pm with a £1,000 Gtd Deepie, which enjoyed (enjoyed) a ton of overlay.
Wrongjohn bubbled, ugh, & vegasman had a decent cash.
The name that caught my eye was mumsie. Mr Mum is a delight on this Forum, always constructive, helping everyone out with replies to questions, & his posts always have that nice touch of whimsical humour to them.
The £2k BH @ 4pm covered nicely, & cashes included MikeyCB, who does very well at these stakes, & the ever shiny happy - or so it seems - mac24. I'm a big fan of shiny happy people, never a Bad Day when they are around.
Amazing value was available in the 6pm £3k Turbo.
The ever-consistent DustoLucko recorded yet another UKOPS cash, as did Boonicon, & rivermunky
Just out of the money, all bunched up, were GSmith13, MAXALLY, StayOrGo, devil_tear & FeelGroggy.
Trivia - "BRUTAS", who finished 11th, was also the name of the bull in Henri Charriere's "Papillon". (Great book, poo film). Please don't ask what happened to BRUTAS in the book. Not nice, not nice at all. Suffice to say another prisoner was glad to see the back of BRUTAS.
It was the turn of the Ploppers in the £1k PLO8 affair at 7pm, & with 97 entrants it so nearly covered.
Good performances by FeelGroggy, Zippy146, & Daggers747, all of whom are great fun at the table, also to my old mate & APAT Champ Frank Cormach.
I had the good fortune to be seated between Cormach & StayOrGo. Not a comfortable seat, let me tell you, Graham is SO aggressive. I've no idea of his technical ability at PLO8, but by gum, his sheer aggression is something to behold, & he was a proper SIMS.
The 9pm £5,000 UKOPS BH attracted a pleasing 356 hopefuls, & a rich harvest of Community regulars, headed by - how do these things happen? - MAXALLY.
IH8PALACE - it was high Tim he cashed - splashies (did he employ a temp?),Tennis Bloke F_Ivanovic, mattprawn, & FeelGroggy (again...).
Special mention goes to Community favourite Tomgoodun.
Day 3 concluded in grand style with a right dingdong in the £6k BH, with MTT specialists bearlyther eventually getting the better of SOLACK. bearly is a "Top Ten" MTT winner on Sky Poker in 2015, & this adds a few bob to his bulging coffers.
FeelGroggy, yet again, & the athletic MattBates enjoyed baby cashes.
Trivia Note -the profanity filter would not allow "dingdong" to be typed as two separate words. "Ding" is ok, the other bit is not. Who'd have thought?
You appear to be in a minority, as over the three days we got just 8 replies, & as each daily review thread took the best part of 2 hours to write, it was not exactly cost efficient. See "work smart, not hard".
I wanted to try it though, & I did. I don't like leaving ideas on the table, but if they fail, so be it, better to have tried & failed & all that.
This time next year, Rodders......
Regards, Percy Plump.
