If It Was Real: 220-Game Report

Before we check our live local tournament record, BREAKING NEWS from online video poker! We won the National League of Poker weekly championship Sunday night! Details are coming here shortly.

In our last 20 live tournaments, we reached eight final tables. That's about our overall average. But top-five finishes (how we compute money) weren't that frequent: twice we finished fourth, while one we were fifth. We add that to our pretend cost/return math and we have....

BUY-INS: 220 nights x $50 = $11,000

First -- 5 ($2,500)
TIE for first: 1 ($450)

Second - 8 ($3,200)

Third -- 9 ($2,700)

Fourth - 10 ($2,000)
TIES for fourth:
4 two-way ($600)
1 three-way ($67)

Fifth -- 13 ($1,300)
TIE for fifth: 3 ($150)

TOTAL -- 54 for $12,967

We're in the top five almost one-fourth of the time! But our overall return keeps sliding -- now at 17.8%. Maybe we need to buy more food at these clubs, to have more bonus chips at the start?!
