Poker Round Up
Dec. 31st, 2010 11:42 amWell, at about midnight last night I made it to Supernova, a move that doubtless impacted my performance in November and December, but which is worth well into four figures for 2011.
It has been a frustrating year on the felt – not just for me if I am to take other people's blogs at face value. Richard Ashby posted a sad tale of dumping over a million bucks in less than 24 hours (oh, ok, the net loss was only $700k, so that's alright then). Ben Grundy (MilkyBarKid blog) tore up all of the game plans for 2010 when the second half of the year turned into a nightmare. Clarkatroid's blog just vanished. In fact, generally speaking, the "gamblers" look to have had a tough time of it.
Meanwhile, in Grinderman territory, I felt that the last two months of the year taught me a lot, even if they were not that profitable in terms of hard cash. If you look at the performance of these massive multi-tablers, the one clear conclusion that one has to reach is that the only winner is Pokerstars. This is a theme to which many players return on 2+2; play fewer hands, play fewer tables, forget "hourly rate". Win more per 100 hands.
Indeed this year has seen my worst performance per 100 hands for many a year. That said, I think that my game progressed significantly. Of course, everyone else's game seemed to progress significantly as well.
