    I hardly ever £2.30 Bounty Hunters these days. Reason being that all the ones that run during my usual playing hours have the speed structure which blunts skill edges and makes the result more luck based. However when I logged-on this evening I saw one about to go off with a standard structure so bought in.

    Stayed out of the Mini and Main because deepies will run too late for me (I was up for work at 12-20am this morning). Would have been in both of those if they were Bounty Hunters or Turbos at £22/£5.50.

    Only had time for one game across Thursday/Friday, late registering into a mid-morning £3.30 Bounty Hunter when I got home from work on the Friday. It would have been rude not to win it.

    I feel bad how it ended. I'd arranged to meet my partner locally during her 1-30pm to 2-30pm lunchbreak. However the tournament was still playing 3-handed come 1-30pm so I was running late. By the 1-55pm break I was heads-up with the chiplead, confident I could close it out. Unfortunately my opponent didn't return after the break. I wanted to get the game over and done with as soon as possible so didn't wait long before blinding her/him out. I'd have waited much longer usually, but sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

    Personally, I wouldn't start a tournament if I'd agreed to meet my partner, but each to their own.

    Thanks. I misjudged the time it was likely to finish, and even though I have an edge over the field I'm not expecting to make final table any more than say 10% of the time. We got 15 mins in the end, so it wasn't too bad, had penciled in 30.

    Ran bad for a few days, very happy to nip it in the bud.

    Bizzarely I got another HU walk-over.

    The runner-up, who'd began HU with a 2/1 chip lead, started going all-in pre-flop every hand for no obvious reason after a spell of normal play. After a few folds I called-off 30BB with JJ and doubled. He continued to go all-in pre every single hand even though stacks were now almost level and pretty deep at just over 60bb each. Then he suddenly went away, never to return. Nothing had been said in the chat-box.

    I can only assume by his actions that he had to go offline at that time, therefore a quick all-in and call was his only chance to win before he went.
