    Rich,

    You seem to have missed Kiwini4U on the previous page who had a slightly better R.O.I.

    Yes, you're right Mike.

    Sorry Goldenballz and Kiwi- Kiwi had just pipped him by an incredibly tiny and very harsh margin. 0.91!!!!!

    Luckily the comp wasn't decided on that, because......we have a new leader ! (see above)

    Well done Padzz77, aiming for his third TT title, with a barnstorming 367%.

    Looks like there's just the 11.40pm 15 minute TT left now. last chance saloon everyone

    Well that 15 min game lasted all of 2 mins!

    Pair of 5s in the BB and 8 big blinds, with a couple of limpers- what ya gonna do?

    All-in I went and all was going according to plan until one of the limpers turned over pocket 10s!

    So, that's the end of my personal quest for glory tonight- I managed one cash so not a complete disaster, but definitely not one of my better weeks.

    So, will Padzz77 hold on to the lead? Or can someone pip him at the post in the final game running right now and due to finish just before midnight?

    Watch this space. Winner announced in about 20-30 mins time!

    Good luck!

    See you next Wednesday for more of the same!

    Thanks.

    I was incredibly lucky.  Down to 3 and a half BB, and tried shove with Ace-Ten.  But my connection went down.

    Turned out the button, who was the big stack, had a pocket pair and I'm sure he would have called me.  No Aces or Tens came, and I would have been out.

    Afer that, I got dealt some good cards, and doubled up a few times

    In Response to THE ORFORD TIMED TOURNEY CHALLENGE- TONIGHT: WEDNESDAY JUNE 27TH 7PM-MIDNIGHT:
    Hi all, Psst! Wanna easy shot at landing a seat into a Thursday night main event? Listen up! All you've got to do is record the biggest profit in a single timed tournament between 7pm till midnight- tonight on Wednesday June 27th. That's it! It's a really fun challenge and you can give it as many goes as you want. The prize for the player who beats the rest on the night? A free seat into Thursday night's 12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter! (which we'll be covering on the live Sky Poker TV show) Here's what you'll need to do- As soon as you've cashed in a timed tourney- c ut and paste proof on to this thread and then calculate your Return On Investment (ROI) below- like this: Machka 7050 11 £17.62 £400 Gtd 30 mins Buy-in £5.50 Prize- £17.62 Profit= £12.12  (£17.62 - £5.50) divided by the buy-in (£5.50) = 2.20  multiplied by 100 to give a percentage = 220% So, it doesn't matter how low the buy-in is, or how long the timed tournament goes on for, because only the ROI is important! You can keep recording scores all night. I'll just take the single best individual result from all entries as the winner at midnight. Last time Padzz77  took the honours for a hat-trick with a mightily impressive ROI of  367 % .  NOW WE WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AGAIN THIS WEEK. SO FROM 7PM THIS WEDNESDAY, THE FIRST PERSON TO POST AN ROI OF, SAY 1%, WOULD BE LEADING. You should post even if it's only a small ROI because you never know how many people will enter and, as a result, if your lowly score might turn out to be the best one. So, do you think you have what it takes to be the champion of timed tournaments? Only one way to find out! I'll be on the site from 7pm myself playing timed tourneys and Mastercash tables till midnight. See you there and good luck! PS- Can anyone beat my record of 1226%? Yes, I posted that a while ago and I think it's a website record. Beat it, if you can!

    Cheers Dave. It's very easy, honest.

    Just play the game + have the tournament lobby open. The only reason for the "cut and paste", is so there's proof that you cashed. 

    I'm not sure if you're saying you don't know how to 'cut and paste', so in case you don't...here goes.

    When you cash, left-click in the tournament lobby at the start of the bit where it says your name and how much you won, drag the mouse right across the whole text, and then right-click. Select 'copy' and then right-click on the post you write on this thread. Select 'paste'.

    Hey presto! You've printed proof of your cash.

    Now, don't worry about doing the maths. Either I or one of my handy helpers will do it for you. Just say how much the buy-in of the game was and how much you won.

    We'll do the rest.

    It's much easier and much more fun to have a go than you think.

    I also think it's one of those best-kept secrets on Sky Poker- one of the easiest ways to land a £33 main event seat going to freeroll for thousands of pounds.

    Just saying!

    ;-)

    Fancy being on TV this Thursday night.

    There's a good chance you might be if you play in the 7.45pm, 9.20pm and 10pm timed tournaments this evening.

    As these 3 games will be the focus of a whole hour on Sunday night's show as James Hartigan looks at the way I play in 'Analyse My Play'.

    Not so good in the second- typical, as that one's going to be shown on TV on Sunday night at 8!

    Now signed up to the 8.35pm half-time game in the Euro semi-final.
    15 mins long.

    See you there!

    Lol- they may be struggling at this rate- I only played 3 hands in that 7.45pm game.

    If only they'd turned the 7.05pm into a TV game. Sigh...

    No joy in the 15 minuter. Curiously came across a player who thought it was extremely 'boring' that players with less than 10 BBs in a turbo tourney were going all-in!

    Every time anyone went all-in, he'd write 'boring' in the chatbox.

    Lol!

    Methinks he'd stumbled into the wrong tournament!

    Anyway, I've regged up for the 9.20pm, which at 30 minutes, should satisfy our friend with not as many all-ins in the opening stages.

    it's also on TV on Sunday night from 8pm, so if you end up on my table you'll end up on the box.
