July 3rd - Half time report for 2007!

After filling in my spreadsheet detailing all my 'live' tournaments these past 6 months (see below for link to actual spreadsheet) I find I've made a slight miscalculation as to my winning/losings and, as it stands on June 30th, I'm currently DOWN £106 on the year!

Now lets put that into some sort of perspective...

I've played in 42 'live' tournaments over the past 6 months and paid a sum of £5962 in order to play. My winnings came to £5856. So thats 42 nights out for a shade over £100!

I got to 11 'final' tables (over 25% of tournaments entered) and those of you who play poker on a regular basis in tournaments in casinos and card clubs up & down the land I'm sure you'd be impressed to see that all those nights out have cost me less than £3 a time!

Of course there are those of you that might think 'Pah...wot a load of rubbish', and, if I was a professional where my life depended on it then I'd be inclined to agree. Lucky for me then its not the case as I have a full time job which pays the bills and poker, as my hobby, is just that...win or lose!

Last year I won almost £10,000 by the the time December 31st rolled around. I can't really see anything like that happening this year but that doesn't mean I'll stop trying!

I'm on hols now till mid August so there won't be any more updates till then. Hopefully I'll come back refreshed and ready to go again!
