We began 2008 with $2,824 in our pretend Yahoo poker chip stack.
As of this posting, we're at $10,613.
Wow -- a gain of almost $7,800! We've more than tripled our total! How did that happen?
We actually drooped to a low for the year of $1,890 on May 7. But we rallied to above $3,100 in late June.
On July 3 we dabbled in Yahoo blackjack, and had a big gain of $661. That put us above $4,000. We did it again August 7, and gained $1,500 in one fell swoop -- pushing us to almost $6,000. Another $800 came September 1.
But since Labor Day, almost all the gain has been from poker -- a jump of about $3,500. We think it's because we play at small tables (3-6 players), fold bad hands before the flop (you'd be surprised how many online players don't), and get away while we're ahead.
In real tournaments, we had first-place finishes at Lil Kim's Cove in January and December, seconds in April and July, and a couple of thirds as well. Six "podium finishes" in 32 nights?! Not bad.
May you have even better success in 2009!
