The last time we added up the score of our live tournament performance, we noted it's better to go deeper at the final table -- at least the way we keep count. That improvement is evident, as we review our last 20 nights. We made the top five on five occasions, with one outright win and two second-place showings. (And four of the last ten nights earned us real money!)
Using the outline given us by a Kansas City casino, here's how our account would look if real money had been involved:
BUY-INS: 180 nights x $50 = $9,000
First -- 5 ($2,500)
TIE for first: 1 ($450)
Second - 8 ($3,200)
Third -- 7 ($2,100)
Fourth - 7 ($1,400)
TIES for fourth:
3 two-way ($450)
1 three-way ($67)
Fifth -- 11 ($1,100)
TIE for fifth: 3 ($150)
TOTAL -- 46 for $11,417
Since we play live tournaments twice a week, a $1,000 investment in the last 20 games would have returned us $1,700 -- 70 percent more in only ten weeks!
Our overall return is up from 160 games, and now stands at 26.9 percent. If you can deal with the nights or weeks of setbacks, the moments of success can be worth it.
