2008 Results

When i started this blog again i was going to start a whole new one but thought it better to just carry on with the old that i had written in since Jan 2007.

From Jan-Oct i was breakeven at cash games, i made some money from tournaments and a lot from getting rakeback but at cash, after 10 months of the year i was even, $500~ profit.

Back in October i started playing my best poker and since then have been a winning player. (even thought i had a 40k hand, 50 buyin downswing :O) So from October onwards, here is my graph:


Not the best winrate, but it beats being a losing player i guess ;)
I also managed to win $3,000 from MTT's aswell as another $4,600 through rakeback from Jan-Oct. Thank god for rakeback!!! So thats $15,600 profit for the year..... meh.

Bring on 2009!!!

End of 2008 Update

So i stopped blogging around mid November, basically i hit the biggest downswing i ever had. 45,000 hands into November i was sitting pretty with just below $3,000 profit for the month (and another $700~ in rakeback) and then all of a sudden from the 15th nov onwards i was unable to win a single session!!

I had a solid month where i didn't win a session and i managed to lose 50 buyins!!! Obviously i dropped down from NL100 to NL50 but in total i managed to lose $3,500 ;/ (from the graph you can see i also ran horridly below EV also.)


So anyway this wasn't too much fun at all, i ended November breakeven (up $1,400 with rakeback) I guess it wasn't too terrible, i still managed $16/hour although i wasn't happy about it.

The end of my downswing also went mid way into December but i did manage to turn it around after that and have had a $1,800 winning streak after that uptill the present day.


I think i'll post a new thread for my yearly graph :)
