Playing more hours
Since my parents are gone, like I've said, I've been able to log more hours in poker. I've recently switched to a new easier player site, but these results are pretty typical of the swings I face when I play poker.
DATE+HOURS+NET GAIN/LOSS
26TH 2 HOURS $108 27TH 2 HOURS $88 27TH 3 HOURS $56 27TH 0.5 HOURS $4 27TH 1 HOURS $72 28TH 0.5 HOURS $104 28TH 1.5 HOURS $38 28TH 3 HOURS $-298 28TH 0.5 HOURS $ 3 28TH 0.5 HOURS $129 29TH 0 HOURS $176 29TH 1 HOURS $75 29TH 0 HOURS $53 30TH 1 HOURS $68 31TH 3 HOURS $-144 31TH 0.5 HOURS $183 31TH 0.5 HOURS $-2 31TH 1.5 HOURS $-142 31TH 0 HOURS $11 31TH 0.5 HOURS $92 31TH 1 HOURS $90 1ST 1 HOURS $182 1ST 1 HOURS $4
Total hours: 25.5 Profit: 890 Dollars per hour: 35 dollars an hour.
As I've said, this is a good showing, and I don't usually make this much, the ups and downs look very similar to what usually happens, five good sessions then one bad one.
This is also before I get my bonus money which should be a few more hundred dollars for the time I've played. You get bonus money called rakeback. Rake = money the site takes from each pot (this is how they make their money). Rake back is you get a refund on some of that rake. I'm signed up through a site so I get 30 percent of my rake back.
I hope to stick it out at this level for a few months. I want to try going up in stakes one more time by September. By going up in stakes again, I'm pretty sure I could make a comfortable living (if I do well).
