Well done Tikay on winning the £500 event at Sheffield Owlertons.

Sally TheSAS from AWOP

Has to be a miss type or was he the only one to turn up?

 :birthday: ;oopsy; ;noflopshomer;

Thank you!

A HUGE field. Less than 700, but certainly more than 51.

well done grandad. You managed to stay awake as well all the way through?

how much u win?

Of course, though Ash Hussain thought I as asleep when I failed to play a single hand in 3 hours on Day One.

I just explained that I have gears.

Ash is running truly bad - I was astonished to hear him tell me this was his FIRST Ranking Final in 2007 - this the man who won the 2006 Rankings through sheer consistency!

He made the Final, which had one or two relatively "inexperienced" players in it, & this happened.

Blinds are 2k 4k, he makes it 12k pre-flop, the first hand he'd played in 45 minutes at the Final Table. (Several of us had (independently) decided to pretty much "sit out" the first few levels to sort the wheat from the chaff, as there were scary all-in moves galore from the Newbies going off).

Huge Chip Daddy, a totally unknown quantity who had a wheelbarrow full of chips, moves all-in, Ash says "call" for I dunno, maybe 60k.

Ash shows  Kc Ks, Newbie shows  Js Qc & says "Thought he had Kings, I'll hit two pair, I'm not that far behind".

Flop.....

 Ahrt Kh  Tc

Mr Hussain is not a man in Form.

The Chip Counts were, I think, 192k,197k & 202k (me), & so we split the £18,000 equally.

Bankroll Management Rules!

class rises to the top tikay and he will be back. He has had a poor run stretching back quite away and its only a matter of time for him. He is still playing well just keeps getting these type hands- luckily though he hasn't let it effect his game (unlike when I went through a similar run I changed my game as I saw the nuts whenever I got reraised so caused my own demise most of the time by playing weak).

When we broke from 3 tables to 2, Ash joined my Table with maybe 70k, way above average, probably double.

We had a nightmare Calling Station who had about 55k.

It's Passed round to Calling Station (CS) who limps for 1k. Ash, in the Big Blind, thinks & thinks, then says "all-in", thinking that'll get rid of Mr CS.

Mr CS announces "I've already Passed this hand once tonight, I can't pass it again", & calls all-in, showing KQ. Ash had 3-3, the K & Q both flopped.

Good read or bad play, take your pick!

wow great result sir!!!

And just have to add, OMFG!!! How those 2 players called is unbelievable. To say oh i thought you had kings and still call with QJ is incredible and as for the "ive already passed KQ once tonight"- idiot! Risking his tourney life on KQo- lol.

THe JQ made the push, not called, and i cant believe the bet that was made there by the 33??!

Yeh but come on rodders, he says I thought you had Kings meaning he pushed knowing he was severely dogged!

Not only do i have to work with him but also had to do a winners interview! "so TK tell me about the final hand........."  ;sleep;

Top result for the old man though. 

Now if only he was as lucky at picking greyhounds as he is at cards........................

Results are now in...

Well done Tikay.  ;applause;

Thanks snoops.

The guy in 3rd was huge fun, a complete maniac at Cash, too. Gotts love his name. "Koky Yu"......!

Nice one Tikay!  :cheers:

Great result Tikay ;applause;

Are you sure you have this correct? Either he limped for 1k from the sb, so its 1k-2k or around the back so its 500-1k, either way Ash wants to put in 55k with 33? Either this hand is mis reported or Ash's lack of finals might have something other than form to blame!

nice one:) ;karabiner; ;karabiner;

Very well done sir.

Geo

form is temporary..........class permanent....well done mate

I reported the hand correctly, though I can't recall whether it was 500-1,000, or 1k-2k - it makes no difference, essentially. Mr CS was in the Cut-Off or Botton.

great result boss

Nice one Tony

Just flicking around on Poker Pages see your in the top 10 in the world
in the pro rank 2 league . 7th of over 9000

 ;kneelsucker;

Well done Tikay- I had the pleasure of your company for most of the 300 pound event but unfort. was too short stacked to hand around for much of the final table.

well done chap...it must have been a grindathon of huge proportions

nice work mate.

You were great fun Sir, & that's what it's all about!

you made it back to the hotel then :)

Btw, well done tony

Well I've never heard of that John, but it sounds impressive, so I won't argue!

TY Rodney. Lightning struck 3 times in a week.

I'm confused. Mught be coz im a bit worse for wear tho

^^^^ Might

Very nice result Tikay. Well Done!

Well done Mr Tikay, you made the £300 final fun to watch, kind regards..'the 52 yr old' !

A very appropriate alias - "Star" - for the best looking 26 year old 52 year old I've ever seen or met.

I'm truly smitten.

Lovely to meet you Stella. Sorry if I kept staring!

Take care now.

nice one tony  :)up

I was about to say that to Rank me as 7th in the World in "Pro Rank 2" (Tourneys with a Buy-in of £500 or less) just proves what a load of tosh those rankings are. Then they Updated it with the Sheffield Main Event & it elevated me to 3rd place - worldwide!

I noticed Thewy is 62nd, Flushy 63rd, & Andy Black 64th. Maybe it's in reverse order!

It's clearly nonsense. Does the ego no harm at all if I believe it just for a day or so though.....
