Yup 484 is impressive IMO!
Regarding the bolded part, if I read between the lines you are suggesting a 'teatime' £2.20 PLO8 BH? And possible a £11 BH at some point in the evening with a £200 guarantee? :-)
I did have the advantage of knowing the score I had to beat so could really put the foot down, you didn't realise about the prize for the bounties and still clocked up 15.
Good luck for this weeks games!
Hopefully see you back on the tables soon.
WP Marky and Conor.
@conor... sent a reply to your message mate.
That should be you sorted for the £55 'Sherrif' NLHE MTT on Wednesday @ 9:pm Conor.
I am playing the same one with my prize.
Good luck!
I will update the opening post tomorrow clarifying rules etc for the new structure although they are 'generally' set out a couple of pages back.
The tables etc are down to Chris.
The same 7:15pm & 9:15pm nightly PLO8 Bounty Hunter £5.50 buy in £200 GTD games will count as is the case just now.
Prizes will be changing though. There will be a weekly prize (£33 tourney entry) for the person collecting the most bounties in a single evening (from any combination or the 2 games). Each week commences with the Monday evening games and concludes with the following Sunday evening games.
Win both of the nightly tourneys in 1 evening and get a £33 tourney entry (If more than 1 player does this then the 1st player to do so each month will win the prize).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Some possible FAQ's...
Why the changes?
To reduce admin - The volume of prizes will be less (although the cash amount is still roughly the same).
So things are easier to follow - The new system will be easier for any casual player/poster to glance at the rules and know what is going on (collect more bounties than anyone in a single evening or win both games).
Something to play for every night - Obviously the new system means there won't be any 'dead periods' where all the prizes have been sewn up. Someone could enter the games at any point in the month and collect the most bounties for an evening in that week.
To clearly encourage participation in both games - Although you can collect the most bounties in a single evening that week from just 1 of the games, both games count towards your evening total so it will obviously improve your chances to play both tourneys.
So that the system works for regs and casual players - Playing loads will clearly improve your chances but there is absolutely nothing stopping a casual player turning up and winning the lot.
The new system has been devised by listening to comments made from players, a suggestion from Hendrik and talking things over with Tikay and Chris to try and find a balance that works for everyone, both the players and Sky.
-------------------------------------------------------------
So what happens to the league standings tables now?
These will purely be for fun/bragging rights as no prizes will be attached to any monthly league standings. It will be entirely up to Chris if he wants to continue with these. Chris has indicated he may continue with these and may use the lowest score system used in Churchy (Brian's) Thursday league.
Many thanks to Chris for his efforts doing all the tables (I am not sure how often he is happy to post updates as to who currently has the most bounties from a single evening each week?). Also thanks to James, Tikay and Sky for supporting the games!
The first games that will count towards the new system are those on Monday 27th February.
Hope everyone enjoys the new system and good luck!
I will read over that post tomorrow and edit anything irrelevant and put it in the OP.
Yes, a nice simple format now, take the most heads in a single night for the week between the tourneys for a £33 ticket or win both tourneys on the same night for a £33 ticket.
'Simples' as the Meerkat would say
Frustrating that I personally cannot get playing as much as I want right now but my hands are somewhat tied with studying. Only temporary though.
Last day of the week for someone to try and catch Smoki! Can it be done? 21 is an almighty target to try and overhaul.

Excellent total of heads and a new record for a single night. You win a £33 tourney entry for your efforts, if you just let me know which night you would like to use it.
So a new week and new prizes up for grabs, good luck all!
Thanks for the updates Chris.
