Bo Derek may have been a "perfect ten" in the movies long ago, but 10 has been an imperfect number for us lately. Looking back over our last 20 live poker tournaments for this review, we came in tenth place five times -- missing final tables by one hand.
We actually made seven final tables in that 20-night span. They resulted in three fourth-place finishes, along with a tie for fifth. We add those outcomes to our running hypothetical payout from a Kansas City -area casino, and our scoreboard would look like this....
BUY-INS: 380 nights x $50 = $19,000
First -- 6 x 500 ($3,000)
TIE for first: 1 ($450)
Second - 9 x 400 ($3,600)
TIE for second: 1 ($350)
Third -- 9 x 300 ($2,700)
TIE for third: 1 ($250)
Fourth - 16 x 200 ($3,200)
TIES for fourth:
6 two-way ($900)
1 three-way ($67)
Fifth -- 16 x 100 ($1,600)
TIES for fifth:
7 two-way ($350)
1 three-way ($33)
TOTAL -- 74 for $16,500
We were "in the black" in payoffs not that long ago. Now we show an overall loss of 13.2%. But at least in the last 20 games, we actually won money one night.
