16:00 £11 Bounty Hunter £2,000
17:00 £5.50 Rebuy £2,000 Spent 16.50, 1 rebuy 1 addon
19:00 £3.30 Bounty Hunter £1,000
19:30 £11 SUPER UKOPS BH 1 £25,000
20:00 £110 Bounty Hunter £20,000
20:30 £5.50 Bounty Hunter £4,000
21:00 £22 Turbo Freezeout £4,000
Total Bi. £179.30
Cashes:£40.
Tonight wasn't the best in the UKOPs games, I didn't get any runs in any of the games, I had some interesting hands, i'll post up tomorrow.
I'm happy enough with how I played for the most, apart from a few hands. The "cashes" were bounties, 1 from the main and 1 from mini. It was a disappointing start, but plenty of games to go.
I'm only going to be playing two UKOPS games tomorrow:
20:30 £5.50 Freezeout £3,000
21:00 £22 Bounty Hunter

I found this hand really interesting, it's very early in the 4pm £11 bounty hunter.
It folds round to me OTB (2910) versus the SB (3480).
Blinds 10/20, I make it 60 with
, SB min 3 bets lol, I call the extra 40.
Flop:
(220), SB Checks, I decided to check behind.
Turn
(220) SB checks, I bet 145, call.
River
(510) SB Checks, I bet 280, villain jams.

I don't know if i'll continue the blog after UKOPs, it might be a fitting finish to park it once the series is over.
Ah got a feelin
Not at all, but it is a great song though!
Normally folk say I want to achieve x, but for the series my main goal is to play to the best of my ability, not tilt and play as close to my A game as possible.
The field sizes will be large, it would be great to make 1 or 2 final tables. The most important thing is to do my best and stay focussed.
The team for UKOPS:
Rich, £110 paid 10%
Chris, £55 paid 5%
YG. £55 paid 5%
Vern, £50 paid 5%*I'll deduct £5 from any winnings.
I'll update if there is any additions to the above before the start of the games.
I'll post in here games included in the stake before the start of any games and again at the end of the evening with results. Gl us!
Nooooooooooooooooo.
Keep posting.
Shortarse reads it, I know for a fact.
PS - Good luck in UKOPS.
No I don't!

Sunday main seats were added, so not sure why this stopped you playing it mate. Don't really get why you haven't found ukops good to grind. Loads of bigger than normal comps, decent games.

Magical Matt,
Sunday I was watching the football I only played the £11 25k guarantee game.
I just found the schedule to not have a great amount of variety, but maybe that's just me.
Mostly, I wasn't playing well at all. Which is really disappointing given I was really excited about UKOPs before it started.
Also, I should make priority this month/ have started to put a decent amount of volume into cash again which potentially has impacted, to some extent, how I was playing in MTTs.
Looking back, I would do things differently for sure.
I've not had a chance to catch up with you recently, hope you have had a great UKOPS!

Hi Kev,
Sorry to hear that, as I know how much you were looking forward to it, & you are generally very positive towards Sky Poker.
Question for you - & Mr Bedi, if he sees this, as he made a similar comment on your Staking Thread as I recall.
When you say "lacks variety", bearing in mind the limited range of games they offer, & that, like them or not, Bounty Hunters are astoundingly popular there, what would you have preferred to see on the schedule?
Here's the full schedule.....
https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby/poker-promotions/ukopsxiv
The next UKOPS won't be long, so any feedback will be gratefully received. Commercially, I must add, this one has done pretty well, all things considered, but these things are rarely one size fits all.

Hey Tikay,
That's great it was a commercial success.
Lack of Variety
It was always going to be difficult having it over 15 days.
In my opinion, it would have been better to have it over a shorter time frame, to increase the buzz of the events.
Bounty hunters are great and are a USP of Skypoker, but it would be good to see atleast some games with the standard 2k starting stack with 10/20 blinds, so starting with 100bbs.
I know you are a big proponent of having 5k starting stacks, so most players could get their "moneys worth", but BH should be fast and furious.
I would say that the vast majority of players want a lot of action and a fast paced game, for it to be exciting. I seldom play the £33 BHers now, because the first hour is so tedious and slow, due to the large starting stack. Especially when you have a table of excessively tight players.
It would be great to have some games atleast with the normal stack/ structure of every other BH game on sky.
Also, in relation to buy ins, it would be good to see some £33 games included as part of the UKOPS schedule, given that this is Skypokers normal main buyin. Whilst that might not be popular with higher stake regs, for sure it would be better for the overall player pool on Sky, given that there is very few "higher stake" regs on the site.
Just some thoughts.

Thanks Kev, that's all good solid feedback.
5,000 starting stacks?
A lot of the hard-nosed boys think I don't get the criticism of big starting stacks, & berate me, saying "we don't need them".
That misses a very valid point though, which is undeniable.
The great mass of recreational MTT players LOVE a lot of starting chips. They just do. And at Sky Poker, it matters very much to look after those guys. And having a few "dead" levels is not the end of the world, is it?
Money in poker starts at the bottom, & gets sucked up to the top. And that's right & proper. Pretty important to look after the seedcorn though, because that's where the money comes from.
Anyway, good constructive feedback, thank you, & I'll send it upstairs when I have collated it with all the other UKOPS feedback.
Incidentally, as to the length of this UKOPS Festival, it was an experiment, they wanted to give it a try. However, it has aslready been agreed - even before this one started - that the next UKOPS will be around 4 days, so that's one box ticked.

Well done Matt, you have now - just - made the magic 6 figure profit mark on Sky Poker, £100,167 I think? That's great going, & must place you in a fairly exclusive club.

That's young James Williams - "cottonbud" on here - who recently became a dad, Ridiculous really, he's barely old enough to shave.
The guy in 5th - "munchkin00" - was in Punta Cana last week as one of our qualifiers, really smashing chap.
