A May summary

Results For May

I have converted sterling into dollars at $1.86. I know that this is an arbitrary sum, slightly higher than spot rate.

All-in-all, it is a very satisfactory result. But before I start planning on taking up my new career as a professional poker player, I would be wise to look at some telling facts (and these are why things like this are useful for people thinking "this is an easy game".) 1) Of this $2,350, $750 was an unusual tournament win, and $720 were bonuses. 2) And the $264 win at PLO was, I am happy to admit, on the plus side of swingy. It could easily have gone the other way by, say, $300. So, stripping out the good fortune, you are just looking at a figure of about +$600. Now, this in itself is quite good, givem that at one point I was $800 down at $5-$10, and I finished nearly $600 up. Indeed, it was that "core performance" that has pleased me most.
