This past 12 months has been very frustrating. Here's a peak into what it looks like.
Oct 09: The death month -$38,492
Lost every time I played this month, online tourneys, live cash, live tourneys, you name it. It was awful and turned what looked like was going to be a monster year (it was still good) into a fight to improve on the previous year.
Nov 09: Don't call it a comeback +$28,609
Looked like a smooth recovery, won the stars saturday 320 for 30k and was back in business.
Dec 09: Not-so-Boring breakevenness -$6,584
Was stuck 22k with 3 days left in the month, played one session of 25-50 and won 15k to end up losing 6k so I was happy but still annoyed with how the first part of the month had gone.
Jan 10: -$2,309
Won live, lost online
Feb 10: Super Bowl Wonday +$99
Had a 3rd place on superbowl sunday in the 50r for 20k and lost every other day of the month
March 10: The beginning of the end -$26,401
Just awful results online, did not put up a winning day, Live cash was breakeven
April 10: Broke/Break +$3,262
Played not much online MTT's, cashed out what i had left online, sucked up the pride and got a backing deal for the volatility of MTT poker.
May 10: Backed and busted -$6,600
Lost in live cash and was kind of depressed for all of scoop so it wasn't that fun.
June 10: WSOPlease! +$24,249
Won 17k @ live poker and had a 4th place in WSOP event to settle up for a whopping $7k profit on MTTs for 2.5 months work.
July 10: Stringing something together??? +$8,756
Turned a small profit playing low volume of live cash
August 10: Nevermind -$9,385
Only played a little bit but didnt win when I did.
September 10: Same shit -$3,382
Oct 10: So far so good +$3,720
I'll let you know lol
Grand total for my last 12 months: -$24,457...minus much more on expenses, plus a bunch of makeup since I am really good at bubbling stuff. Lesson is if you don't put in the volume, variance can be a bitch. It can also be a bitch without warning in general; every day I'm getting better, and showdowns are getting harder to win if the money goes in before the river.

Yeah man, it is rough if you play pure tourneys. You basically have to build image or boing a WPT FT , get famous and get a sponsorship deal to avoid variance. |

im sure ur putting in similar tourney volume to what i put into the last 2 years (mine was low cuz mostly live tournies). mine was low cuz im lazy urs is low cuz u were too lazy to wrap up, but anyways still low. my tourney run has been way2brutal dont put in the same volume i did its not enough |

Low volume, high variance, breaking even? Sounds pretty familiar to me as well this year :/ Gotta grind it out, gl man. |
