2006, so how was it for you?

[heniek31]

Ok guys, we approaching the end of the year. I know some people might not like this sort of treads, but I'm sure theres no harm in announcing overall profit. Our poker community is more like family, so feel free to post if you wish so. One thing I must say, my play this year have been completely and totally dependent on my financial situation. I couldn't deposit money nearly nowhere, so in many places I started from scratch. Its hard to imagine, but most of my money came from our favorite Boss :lol. My biggest win this year was $900. Hmmm. On SO I help myself with betting, but poker have bigger share of it. Total winnings on SO (still there or withdrawn) are around $2k. I must admit, my biggest success was building nice banks without deposits on poker.co.uk and Virgin. $1.1 on 1st and $1.5k on 2nd. PartyPoker around $700. And I have some cash on 5-7 poker sites bringing my overall profit for this year to around $5.3k :D. Is that enough? I have to say with Irish accent, it's grand :ok. It's absolutely great addition next to work, as It pays bills and holidays. Non cash winnings from poker? Well, got ipod and few other small prizes. But the best, was my two days trip to Stockholm, which I won thanks to our Poker Player magazine :clap. Trip itself was worth around £1.5k. Any wishes for New year? Just the same sort of year would be perfect. I'm privileged to be part of the best community on the net and its pleasure to play you guys at the tables. My special thanks goes to Paul, Trevor, Sam and Andy for their help when needed it in hard times :ok. Remember guys, still few weeks to go, so dont go and blow your hard earn profit before New Year. I'm off to Poland next week and coming back on 5th of January, so I'm going to miss hell of a lot good tourneys over Christmas :eyes. Nevertheless, I hope you all have a great Christmas. :beer to more winnings and less bad beats in New Year.

Re: 2006, so how was it for you? crap - thanks for asking :) actually it hasn't been bad, MY BR went from $200 this time last year to about $4000K at its peak - I then played cash games....... and have lost around 60% of it in less than 2 months:eek So I am back playing STT's and focusing on MTT's again Learnt some important lessons this year and I would say that I am the better player for it - have managed to find my focus and realise what games I am better at than others - I just need to resolve how to properly step up and win consistently at higher buy-in STT's and make those crucial plays at MTT's that get me onto the FT Nice thread Damo ps actually I guess you can add about a grand (£) to that as poker paid for the holiday we had earlier in the year
