end of 2007!

I haven’t been playing much and I haven’t been blogging much. However I’ve make about $700-$800 this Christmas through tourneys, sngs, bonuses and rakeback. So I’m feeling quite happy. Bad news is that I’m only up $300 for the term.

So my year. Well I can’t believe it’s only ten months since I put $500 on stars and lost it in about a week and felt absolutely gutted. However, after downswings, much tilting, spewing money at Omaha, near misses in tourneys, 24 hour sessions loaded up to the eyeballs, 15 tabling, chat-box misuse, a thousand threads across the Warwick poker network, $00s on software and website membership I finish 2007 only down $93. And that is including software purchases etc – however does not include $1100 I spent on a monitor – coz that’s more for essay writing – lol.

Basically, I’m fairly pleased with myself. Yes, I appreciate others have down slightly better – such as Kanu and of course the Aba slayer. But I feel I have really gained a fair bit out of poker. I’m so pleased to have learnt to develop my “gallows humour” etc. And I really feel I’m analysing every play I make in a very different way to how I once did. All in all, I feel I’ve gained a lot for my investment of about 400 hours and $93.

So I end the year with a roll of $2833. I had decided to move up to 50/1 when I have $3000 – but I think I’m going to make sure I spend another month at 25/50c before I go anywhere. I’m going to have to get busy with other things if I’m gonna get through this degree with my aim of a 2:1. But anyways, thanks to all those who have read this blog.

Best of luck at the tables in 2008!
