Operation: $$ accumulation

Playing poker is about making money. I've been playing poker a while now and still haven't withdrawn $100k. I thought i was onto something at the start of 2010. I was. Then i regressed into all too familiar tilting leaking territory. There is something wrong with that picture and it needs to be remedied pronto. 2011 so far has been pretty meh, seem to be up about $2k so far, which is a waste of time even with a week off calculated into the mix. Combination of rungood at 25nl, runbad at 50nl, rakeback, end-year bonus, loyalty freeroll, and stars cap games.

I have just bought a $5k bonus on ftp. 12-tabling 50nl and it seems to clear at about $20/hr. Which is an ok base hourly, iff I'm making a decent winrate on top of that.

I know what to do. I know how to do it. Game on.
shout-out to m2M for op-title inspiration

and some history cos i like history, from most recent to early daze...

Poker in 2010. Bit of a poker letdown really. A quick look through my records shows that i withdrew $6k in Dec 09 (hadn't noticed a party withdrawal earlier) and $25k in the 2010 calendar year. I had more roll at the start of the year than now though. Stakes ranged from micro through a few hands at 200nl and back to micro again. Results were gross. Tilt was rampant. I had about 3 months off poker (plus various days/weekends/etc in between bigger breaks). I played quite a few hands and won sfa at the tables. I received a bunch of rakeback and bonuses and stuff. Poker has allowed me a fairly relaxing year outside of poker, but, meh, the poker itself has been disappointing on all fronts - financial and otherwise.
