    Cheers all- well chuffed!

    16 BBs when I get back tomorrow so I won't have too much wriggle room. But a Day 2 stack is a Day 2 Stack :)

    All the lads are on top form and there's great camaraderie amongst us all. I came this close to suggesting a group huddle before the tourney, but thank god I pulled myself together before I did.

    Tikay has brought me approximately NO refreshments during the day, contrary to his promises throughout the week. He's so tight, it's unreal. Although to be fair, he did shell out for a massage (I was sweating that it was going to be some big bloke with tattoos, but thankfully it was a rather spendidly attractive young lady) so I'll let him off.

    Breaking news- I've just been told that Tikay DIDN'T pay for that massage, it was Sky Rich. Unbelievable.

    Thanks for all the goodwill messages and here's hoping Team Sky Poker push on for tomorrow.

    Right- I'm off to get some beer...I mean, some rest. After some beer.

    Just while you're here- does a flush beat a straight? Answers gratefully received. Preferably before start of play tomorrow...

    vwd today Rich, really excellent..........but can u let me into a little secret, (I won't tell, promise)...... the camera panned in on you and your face just dropped when,..... if my memory serves me right,......the lady player went all-in against you after your initial raise post flop and I think it was on a spade board. 
    You really didn't want to lay it down but to your credit you came back well after that........ps; this was in the last hour or so ie; when you came onto glitterbabes table and I think it was b4 your massage.
    Good luck to you all tomorrow...........hope you run good.
    pps; excellent work Tikay....g8 thread by you as usual....and gr8 support by the community.

    Just wanted to echo the comments left.

    Firstly, thanks very much for the updates Tikay and everybody else involved from Sky down there. Keep up the good work.

    Secondly, how good is the standard on Sky with all the blue hoodies left in. Well done to the players still involved, keep going today. I will be following this thread on my phone today whilst at the football (Leeds v Burnley) but will not be posting. Keep playing your game guys and one of you take it down.

    As for Rich, superb mate. We know you were a bit nervous but you have proved to everyone that you can do it at this level. Chin up and keep playing confident poker.

    Nice to see sky players doing well.

    I had J-10 offsuit, mate. And the Jack was a spade. Blinds 400/800 antes 75 and I was on the button. She raised pre-flop from mid-position to 1700 and I called, in position. The flop came down 8-6-2 all spades. 

    She made what I believed at the time to be a standard continuation bet of 2.1k as she could have easily missed with a big Ace, and I decided to put her to the test with a re-raise of 5.7k, but then she jammed and pretty much had me covered chip-wise.

    I had put 7,400 in the middle and had about 10-11k back. It was obvious to me then that she had a big overpair, and was protecting it from the spade draw, and it would have been an immediate fold from me were it not for the fact that my Jack was a spade! Hence why I went into the tank.

    So, although I had two overcards to the board I knew that even if I hit one of them on the turn or river, they were probably no good and therefore I'd be calling purely to hit a spade for my tournament life. Worse still, one of her big pair cards could easily have been a spade OR perhaps she really HAD missed with her AK on the flop but again one of those cards was a spade and she was therefore crushing me. In the former case I'd be looking at runner-runner non-spade for two-pair or trips. Thin, in other words.

    I decided I didn't want to go all-in behind and hoping to hit. I know there's a lot of folk in that spot who would say it was an auto-call having put so much in the pot already, but I felt like I could wait for a better spot with 11 BBs, so I was 'happy' with the fold. 

    The 'mistakes' were made before that, firstly: calling the pre-flop raise: I would probably have been better off folding J-10 off, and secondly making the post-flop re-raise too big. Wayne (Gliterbabe-sat next to me) believes that pot-committed me and from that point I should have called the all-in.

    Not one of my better hands, I grant you. But in a parallel universe, I make the post-flop re-raise, she folds with A-K of hearts and I take down a healthy pot with the worst hand. Unfortunately though, it's this universe I'm living in :)
