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.<\/p>\n
In one of the big tourneys, they paid the top 135 spots. I finished 137th. I probably could have squeeked in if I just folded two more times, but I decided to play like I should, not like I was tempted to. It didn’t work out.<\/p>\n
Anyway, another bad economic month, but another satisfying round of Omaha tourneys (though still a very light playing schedule).<\/p>\n
For the year, a complete economic wipeout: -$2,128.26.<\/p>\n
Horrible, obviously, on every level. That said, I was playing with previous winnings, and still have enough left in the account to play a bit more (a lot more if I would avoid paying full-freight in the big Sunday tourneys).<\/p>\n
As much as I love playing online poker, and I really do, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m secretly looking forward to running out of money in the account, so I can obsess about other pursuits that I don’t make enough time for, given the siren song that poker sings to me. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
