YTD Earnings
 
I figured maybe we could make this something of an annual thing and see if we improve as a forum and what not. So, if everyone could check their records and estimate how much you have won/lost I think it could be neat to see how we are doing as a community. I'll make it anonymous, so don't be bashful!

Talking Poker 12-29-06 01:22 PM

How are you going to make it anonymous? Should we PM you or something?

I suspect the results are going to be skewed, with the winners posting and the losers not saying anything or fudging their numbers a bit.

Cool idea for a thread though. I have to put all this shit together for my taxes anyway.

lightfungus 12-29-06 01:29 PM

Ok, so I was making a poll but my fingered is screwed up so I am typing with a splint and it says I can only make a poll within 5 minutes...this is what I meant to do...so TP if you could add a poll with breakdowns i did: -1000 to -100 to 0 to +500 to 1000 to 5000 to 10000 to 20000 to 50000 to 10000 and over 100000, but you can change them if you want.

BrianSwa 12-29-06 01:34 PM

well
 
I'm definitely down but honestly I didn't keep good enough records to tell you exacts, with my 2 live tourney wins it shouldn't be that much but I'm positive its still negative.

im pretty sure though as a forum this forum is way up though, think eejit 65k, tp's wsop final table and boobie and jd crushing the cash games.

Talking Poker 12-29-06 03:37 PM

OK, I added the poll for you, but I changed the numbers around a bit.

kkirk1329 12-29-06 04:03 PM

im up 1000-5000, more like the 1500ish range.

thrash1294 12-29-06 04:04 PM

I know I am up between $750- 1000. better than losing :D

eejit101 12-29-06 04:12 PM

i love being up, im the biggest figure so far (till JD and boobie vote anyway):thumbsup:

Zybomb 12-29-06 04:20 PM

I just voted -- although my catagory is extremely broad

In 138 Sessions LIVE this year Im up . My records are kept after each session.

Im up roughly online as well, but my records aren't kept well enough for online play to be for sure. I know Im in the range.

It's been a good year (obviously) but Im dissapointed in

- My lack of serious online play

- The fact that I had huge swings (in both directions) for 4-5 sessions at a time which skewed my winnings

- The fact that I had more losing sessions than I feel I should have

- The fact that mistakes have cost me additional $

Things to work on next year -- including beginning to play more often, like I used to now that this restaurant is starting to settle in and everything

Talking Poker 12-29-06 04:38 PM

The categories aren't the best, and I too come out right near the border of one, but it's good enough to get a general idea of where people are at.

I am up slightly over $5,000 this yes.

I have kept a running journal on my blog back since April. That's when a lot of us started blogs back with the .

Compared to the $180 I won last year, I truly have improved my game.

Although I don't write but on the extremely rare occasion, don't think I don't read your strategies and analyzes. (Did you catch the triple negative? Those are hard to do.) I used to print the HH at work, so I didn't use up too much of my e-time, and get rep's for wasting time. I would then do my rounds as a supervisor with a few stapled together and folded in my back pocket. Then as I dropped by everyone's control rooms I would congenially chat and banter between reading pages. (Yes, I still have a job with this company.) OK, now comes the ass-kissing comments. I learned so much of my current game from you guys. Those HH's are invaluable; especially the one's in which there was major disagreements is style and/or play.

My game has gone from weak-one-dimensional with set rules, robotically clicking away my sessions, to a multi-dimensional game where I am gathering information from a plethora of sources about how to play. (OK, not a plethora - I've been wanting to use that vocabulary word. If you use a word in context 3 times it becomes yours. LOL) I'm not saying that I'm great or anything I'm just trying to explain how you guys have helped my game grow this year. For those that even remember me, I was the conservative's conservative a year ago. And though that is still my fundamental base, I play different next hand depending on how you played your last. Shit, it took you guys months of verbally slapping me around just stop buying in for the min and playing push-monkey poker. I still have a long way to go. Hell, I still don't raise PF with AQs or TT. (Ouch that hurts. stop the beatings.) Plus I am still only a cash game guy with little tourney experience. Though I do read those HH's also, along with HOH, so when I jump in that ring I will at least have a nice understanding.

Anyway, thanks all and though the Co. has banned this site I will still read and learn at home while playing the game we all have come to love.

Almost forgot to use plethora one last time in context. Now it is mine bitches.

ChipFish 12-29-06 06:59 PM

I have to say, the categories are too broad also.
I'm in the 10-50k range, but definitely closer to 10 than 50.

It just seems like a guy who makes x amount per month, does not belong in the same category as a guy who makes 3-4X per month.

GTDawg 12-29-06 07:05 PM

I'm probably even...

I deposited $50 in to PS at the beginning of the year and had $600 by the end of March. Withdrew $150 and then was back at zero by May.

(I gotta say...April was AWESOME)

Then it's just been screwing around in random house games. So, I doubt I'd be up more than a few hundred. Meh.

eejit101 12-29-06 07:38 PM

to whoever left this rep "You're still a fucking idiot, and your bragging makes you look even worse. Enjoy"

you want me to win and say "yeah it sucks should be better"

of course im gonna brag, that made me from the $5k -$10k bracket to the huge one. Way to spread the Xmas love.

If Longshot would won the game i did and i was messing about like i used to you think id leave shit like that for him? no.

Nikita 12-30-06 12:11 AM

I'm up approx $800. But that is just tracking hold'em. I don't track my non hold'em since PT doesn't. I also didn't count my cleared bonuses otherwise I think I'm slightly over the $1000 mark. But most of that money has been withdrawn and put into my bank account. I like being a micro grinder. Maybe one day I'll shoot for the big leagues.

X-Longshot-X 12-30-06 12:18 AM

FYP :thumbsup:

GeoffM 12-30-06 01:30 AM

Eh, up around 5kish.

PShabi 12-30-06 01:49 AM

Who cares? You're still a fucking idiot.:D :cheers:

:twocents:

GeoffM 12-30-06 02:18 AM

LMFAO, "You must spread some reputation around before..." :p

eejit101 12-30-06 03:55 AM

Go fuck yourselves:thumbsup:
