In the first two Omaha tournaments I came last and second last. :-)))
Anyone who has guessed over 200 for Tikay's aggregate is struggling.
Those you have guessed over 100,000 are definitely struggling.

Progress Report at 10pm.
7.15pm Omaha, 17 runners, finished 3rd, (for £17). = 3.
8pm Main Event, 504 runners, finished 100th, (for £10.22). = 100 + 3 = 103.
8.15pm Omaha, 23 runners, 12th. = 3 + 100 + 12 = 115.
9.15pm Omaha, 21 runners.10 remain, including me. In 10th at mo. ;(
So looking like 125 or thereabouts will be the winning score.
Anyone close?
zxghostxz guessed 123 too
so, who won?
Bit of a turn up for the book here, but my position in the last of my 4 Tourneys, the 9.15 Omaha, has improved significantly.
I was languishing in 10th of 10, but I've shot up to 8th now. Of 8.
As things stand, I laid out £27.50 in Entry Fees, & I got £27.22 back, with 1 Tourney (albeit unlikely to cash) still running.
In my book, that's great value, an evenings fun for 28p.
If he outlasts me on this one, I'm going to cry.
OUT, 8th.
Final Score.

'In my book, that's great value, an evenings fun for 28p.' - QUOTED BY TIKAY @ 10.18pm on the 12 april 2010.
^^^^ There you go folks, case solved! The missing 56p was used by Tikay on two evenings of 'fun'. I just hope he can live with himself now the truth is out!!! ^^^^
And we have a WINNER, who came in BANG-ON the number - 123 - & it is zxghostxz.
Well done him, he gets to play Wednesday's 8pm Double Stack Main Event as Sky Poker's Guest.
Very unlucky to Robbo67, who hit the crossbar with 124.
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did, & if so, we'll do it again at the next opportunity.
It's true, I've run "a bit bad" for several months now, but luckily, I can handle the swings, mentally & financially. It happens pretty much every year, & has done for 12 years now. It affects ALL Tourney plyers (very much less so Cash players), & it's just something that you need to be able to handle. I feel very sad when I see players sounding off because they have had a bad week, as it is a litmus test of character, & backbone, & mettle.
I've "run bad" since before Christmas, but you can't force it, it will turn when it's good & ready. I have gone down the buy-in Levels a bit - it just makes sense - but that apart, I'm just waiting for it to turn.
The best bit is coming out of the other side, when, quite suddenly, the sun shines again & the results start coming back to back.
I was given a Bankroll by Sky Poker for PTP 2 years ago, I've never had to replenish it (yet!), & I'm still nicely in profit on the starting roll. It's tough to assess the value I've had out of it - but I'm well "in profit" in entertainment & recreational terms.
Oh, & thanks for the Masters updates into the Show on Sunday. I really wanted to watch The Masters, live on Telly, but we can't have everything, & the Show was a total joy to do.
And goody-goody Phil took it down. Nice one him, he's a good man, & has has had a dreadful year with his family, so although he is a bit sugary for me, I'm well pleased for him.
