I’ve been noting the possibility of this day for quite a while, and it’s finally here. I am saying farewell to online poker, likely for quite a while, but also likely, not forever.
I expected the day to come sometime in January, having gone through a very long drought of cashing in a tournament. Then, as [...]

December was no different than November. Good results in Omaha (though not many tournaments in general), and a total wipeout in the big Sunday Hold’Em tourneys, accounting for a terrible economic showing. Bottom line for the month: -$694.60.
In one of the big tourneys, they paid the top 135 spots. I finished 137th. I probably could [...]

Ugh. That says it all. I played very little this month. I was really busy so it wasn’t a lack of desire. Unfortunately, I got to play in four of the five Sunday tournaments, and lost all four. That alone accounts for 98.56% of my loss this month. It’s a big number, and put a [...]

Wow. I was so excited and absorbed with our surprise trip to Cobleskill yesterday that I completely forgot to report on my poker results for October. While I was playing the big weekly tourney this evening, I realized that, and now that I’ve lost that one (part of next month’s report), I can now report [...]

Since I won’t be playing tonight, I can safely report this month’s results. Also, since I intend to keep this very short, I’ll start with the bottom line, then a few highlights.
Bottom line: Profit of $642.25.
Not bad.
I finally cashed again in the big Sunday Hold’Em tourney. It had been quite a while. I [...]

Well, another month with a fair amount of poker frustration. That said, it was also a very good month on some other levels, including eeking out a small profit.
Without further ado, let’s get the economics out of the way: +$140.46.
Hardly earthshaking. In fact, as reported numerous times now, since I don’t play as much, and [...]

I won’t be playing tonight, so I can safely report this month’s results now.
Given the past few months, this one was financially successful. That said, it was extremely unsatisfying financially, while simultaneously being extremely satisfying from a having a good time perspective. I guess you can’t have it all.
So, the bottom line first, [...]

This month is simple to report on. Economically painful, but otherwise, enjoyable and almost non-existent.
I barely played this month. I’m reasonably sure it’s the lightest month since I started playing online poker in September 2004. That said, I played and lost two of the big weekly ones, paying full freight in both. I played in [...]

Same old, same old, with some new stuff thrown in, to throw me/you off.
Right after I reported on April’s results, I transferred some money from my one poker site to another site. The two sites have an agreement between them (perhaps there is joint ownership, but I have no idea) whereby you can [...]
