Just like to add my thanks to ironside for organising the tourny. It was a great structure and great value - even though I didn't hang around long enough to actually make the most of it as i 'knocked myself out' in position 69 (very apt for moi for those of you who know who the great Dirk Diggler is!) trying to stop a small raiser nicking my big blind when I'm holding JJ (the best hand i'd seen....) but i was up against KK....boo hoo...anyways.....

Thanks to all concerned (incl Crypto). Congratulations to all those who cashed and I look forward to the next one.

Thanks to everyone involved. I don't play much tournament poker but thoroughly enjoyed last night. Good play and good company.

Next time I get to 2nd in chips with 15 left, I'm checking the auto fold box and heading off to make a cup of tea!

I have read through the posts, and it sounds like it was a great game played in the right spirit, im really miffed that i missed it, but im sure you will all forgive me,and be greatfull that i wasnt there cos i would have caned you all Tongue .... as long as we all support these events and dont give the organisers so much hassle that they give up , there will be many many more to come, and i will get my chance to play. well done to all the money winners, but most of all well done to everyone who played and supported the event.

I can only echo the sentiments above.

One further observation....the standard of play from what I saw was good, you tricky blighters!

Any chance of anyone allowing a single blind steal from me through next time?   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Bring on the next one....Pot limit Omaha Hi/Low perhaps?

Yep the standard of play (especially on my table) was excellent, even when I flopped monster hands I couldnt make any chips!  Luckly afterwards I went back to playing the the 10 STT's where my all ins with trips where happily being called by chancers with middle pairs..............ahhhh thats better.....

surely the highest quality of play ever seen in a 20 online game. Because we were all answerable for any silly move perhaps. Can't remember ever enjoying online poker that much. Thanks to all involved.
 I can't wait til the next one. roll on weekly games with a league I say.

I've played quite a few tourneys on the Betfair site, but that was the first with a 20 minute clock.

Most are 10 or 12, with an occasional 15, like the wsop qualifier on Sunday.

The extra 5 minutes made it easily the best structured online tourney that I have ever experienced.
There was plenty of play left even when we were down to the last two tables.

The best thing though was that during the whole tourney I never saw "moron" or "retard" typed in once !

it was a pleasure to play with everyone, not just because I was fortunate enough to cash.
But mainly because of the good-natured sporting atmosphere with poker players who knew what they were doing.

Thanks a lot for a most enjoyable evening, and let's do it again soon.

Indeed, that must be the first online tourny where I was able to build steadily and not feel any pressure from the blinds.

 I'd just like to add my thanks to all concerned for organising the tourney. really had good fun even though I busted myself out in 51st with a dreadful play (decided someone was bluffing & my AJ high was better than his paired Queen!)
 Thanks again, wormster
