That said, I had some very good results in qualifiers, including winning three seats to the big Sunday tournament. As mentioned in that last post as well, I ended up getting crushed in one of those tourneys, have the TDs to play in a future one of my choice, and got a cash refund for the third (which cut my losses for the month nicely!).<\/p>\n<p>So, the bottom line is down $240.61 for the month. Nothing horrific, but nothing to be proud of either. That said, I was down $537 at the peak, so I cut the losses dramatically this past weekend. Considering that I have one free big tourney entry left in my account, I essentially broke even for the month.<\/p>\n<p>For the year, I have done well. I didn&#8217;t start blogging about monthly results until March, so I don&#8217;t have a clean monthly tally for the year. So, roughly guessing where my account was at the beginning of the year, and where it is now, I&#8217;d say that conservatively speaking, I&#8217;m up $1,600 on the year (probably more). In other words, I&#8217;m <em>minting money<\/em>. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll probably be playing in one or two small qualifiers today, so the above results aren&#8217;t exact, but darn close.<\/p>\n<p>HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, as I mentioned in this post, December wasn&#8217;t a good month economically.
