So basically I have played and won many tourny's I stopped counting around 100, and lost track of anything that could explain a win ratio.
I figure since my bankroll management developed itself I have done well enough to take money out of online gambling and show a profit from live poker as well. I have followed my never deposit more than $50.00 a month plan for a few years now. This month I am depositing into Betfair and begining a journey to build a bankroll there so I can play at levels with the pros in MTT's. I currently play only online and a home game with friends that isn't worth mentioning profit wise as it is a friendly game... ( I am up $90.00 this year, lol).
I play around 10-20 free rolls everyday right now trying to add $$ to my bankroll and learning the styles of play and the poker software for all the new sites I have begun recently playing on. I place in the money at least 1 tourny per day which is a low win ratio I know, but they only pay the top 27 or so outta field of 2700, and some sites fields large as 10,000. Luckily I have found some beginner free rolls restricted to new accounts, and a daily free roll that pays top 20 and only has about 90-150 entrants , lucky me!
My personal favorite is finishing 2nd in the free rolls, I love it so much that I do it all the time. If given the opportunity to win it I say "heck No, you can have it sir" and the river god always provides me this wish. Fortunately the other god of the turn is my personal friend and I am able to put this to great use in cash buy-in tournaments.
I have been neglecting my goals of playing many cash tournaments daily, but I have been spending a lot of time learning, reading, watching videos on poker and strategy. Also starting this blog. I don't plan on writing this much in the future as it will just simply be updates and new events.
I have an opportunity of a lifetime in front of my face and have yet to realy truely grasp it, put it into words and describe what it would mean to me. (more on this to come in the near future).
Sooo tournaments that I have cashed in live: Mind that the most ever paid for a buy in was $100 SnG at Brantford and only because I had won $900.00 that day and the tourny needed 1 more to play. Lucky me! Otherwise the max buy in I have played in live or online ws $30.00, until that experience at Brantford, and for an unknown reason never since...
Local Bar in Brampton - Oscar's weekly tournament. Winners get invited to Tourny of Champions. Multiple time winners get extra starting chips. I came in 2nd the first ever Tourny of Champions and took down $900.00. The following year I came back for the Title a nice gold bracelet (for my first and only bracelet to date) and $1500.00 with free rebuys for next 4 months of tournaments. I cashed in 50% of the tournaments I played at this bar, paid top 5 with 36 entrants 2 times a week. Tournament of champions ran every 4 months. That was a fun year or so of my life. I actually believe my strength is in live game play, I have had to adapt to the internet which is way more difficult to get a read on your opponents.
Brantford Charity Casino: Ultimate Poker Championships $100. SnG, satelite victory seat into 1K buy in of the 5 day events.
Ultimate Poker Championships 1k buy in tournament, place I think it was 6th, and got over 6K. I then bought into the 2k buy-in. (I know reckless but I felt lucky)
Ultimate Poker Championships 2k buy in tournament, place in 22nd and got over 4k
Online largest victory: I didn't take records but I have won over $2k one time and over $500. at least 5 times. I have never been one for notes and this is my first attempt to record my efforts. If I remember any other large events I will edit it in in the future.
I do know my largest cash game win at a casino was $2300. and my biggest loss was $900.00. That is when I was playing regularly live and hadn't had any positive experiences with internet poker. That is until I found the Tigergaming.com, and now I am going for it all. No more excuses.
