Well what a great start to the season for our team.
58 runners, out of 81 registered, and I may have missed one or two in all the mayhem, proving, if proof be needed, that numbers certainly help.
Congrats to Lee (leepmar82), Frank (GiftedLv), Jon (Jon MW), Rich (WarBwastard), Michael, (MichaelPerry) and Joe (joker161) for all finishing in the points, sadly Joe"s points don"t count for the team score as only 5 players scores count, but they do count for his individual tally.
Also in the money were Steve (alsomati), Richard (travel_52), Steve (covo23), Dave (dwh103), Alan (teaulc), Ian (TRIGGER1964), with Ken (kmcb914) sadly being the money bubble boy. All told we had 15 players in the top 100 which is superb in itself.
The dynamics of such a large field are somewhat different to last season, and I found myself the middle pin in a line of 5 SE players for most of the game. (a little annoying when there were 10 tables with no SE player on them) I was either re-raising one of our players or hoping one didn"t re-raise one of my raises. It handcuffed me somewhat as blind steals were impossible (folded suited aces 5 times on the button!!).
I think we played the team game about a well as we were able, but at the end of the day there is also $1000+ up top so that has to be respected as well. All in all it was an enjoyable game and I hope you all enjoyed it too.
Please rally as many players as possible for next week and lets keep this Juggernaut rolling.
