Great Efforts:

Next Challenge : Look to qualify for a TV tournament:

They can then endlessly describe you as the "internet qualifier" - and you can look to kick some ass.

Good luck in whatever you do - drinking pink champagne is a good hobby to get involved in.

qualify?  he could buy in to an EPT direct, and then would have the rights to moan about those "damned internet qualifiers"!!

Giving the money away already.

Easy come, easy go, will people never learn.  

Unless the spot prize is some poker lessons.

Rob, i have always thought of you as being a very similar player to myself in both style and wins and from what you say about your previous wins, that looks to be the case too.
  Now you have made a MASSIVE leap with this win so why not take a shot at the higher stakes ?
 I played tourneys on the Ladbrokes Cruise last year that I paid into for $300, $500 and $1000 which were WAYYYY out of my comfort zone, but I felt that the oportunity was too good to miss. I felt out of my depth in the opener but by the time the $1000 came around I had settled down and finished 31st and cashed, which gave me confidence that I probably didn"t previously have in my game.
 This year I played a GUKPT side event and cashed in that and IMO, the main difference in these events is the entry fee. You are well-capable of giving them a good go so please mate, use some of this win as an investment. You may be surprised at what you find.

I managed to watch a few hands when you where 3 handed, in the hand where the player pushed allin on the flop and you call with ace high, what was your thinking on this and would you say this was a pretty standard call??

If you watch that again, he had already committed 5 mill pre flop and had 600k behind, so nothing else to do really but shove.

I think we were both tired and meant to get it all in pre, but we both failed by a few K to do so. We just finished off the pre flop betting after the flop

Aftermath....

I have watched the rerun of the FT from the sunday warm up last week and am relieved I came out of it pretty good and not just a total luckbox (the A4 v JJ hand apart LOL )

As I have said before, I"m not going mad from a poker point of view. The money has been withdrawn and most of it has been spent on clearing debts. I also got myself a new car (nothing flash though!!).

I am back to the grind of playing DC sats and have won another tonight. I am pretty much addicted to these, as I have been able to maintain an ROI of 80-100% over 100 games now, making them easily the softest games going. Hats off to Neil and Leigh for spotting these.

stats at the moment

played - 104
Heads up - 49
final tables - 25
seats - 10
minor cashes - 8
ROI - 98.1%

It has been amusing playing these where people have OPR"d me and come up with a few comments..

"WTF are you doing playing these?" is the most common, but my favourite was tonight when I got busted TT v A9 and another player said to the villain

"Do you realise you have just busted the Warm up runner up from last week?"

LOL...fame...at last!!
