With 2008 coming to a close then it is time to report my poker results. Before I do this I have to report some more good news in the $25-$50 game as I have recorded three more sessions and all three were winners (if not small ones). i have had wins of $740, $820 and a brief hit and run session of $410.
But my year has been spoiled by my bad run in the middle but breaks down as follows.
NL5000 (25-50) – $37,000
NL2000 (10-20) +$14,400
PLO 5-10 + $8800
SSNLHE + $1000
SSPLO +$7700
HU NLHE (heads up) +$11,000
Total: + $5900
By far my worst year ever as a professional player but I have won $42,900 not counting the 25-50 game. I have wasted a lot of hours playing poker for piddling stakes and messing about playing low-stakes SNG’s as well so it is actually better than what it sounds. Taking away the silliness in the middle of the year and I reckon I would have been into six figures.
But I have big hopes for 2009 and during 2008 there were long periods in which I didnt play poker at all. I also want to play some high-stakes limit games at 150-300 and 200-400 next year but I have been out of the loop for a while so will need to prepare for that.
Having said that I really dont fancy having another bad year on the tables and messing around with high-stakes limit may just ruin another potentially good year. Still……could be worse……at least I am still here to talk about it.
Before anyone starts feeling sorry for me then I have to report that I had had decent years sports betting and also staking players as well. But if my bad run in the middle had been replaced by even a mediocre decent run then this would have changed my year around alarmingly.
Have a great 2009
