I just started realizing how much money I've really burned into live tourneys this year. I'm gonna try to remember all of them. Last year was ridiculously good live tournament-wise. Not only did I manage to win an EPT, but I cashed a ton, my ITM was way over 30% I think. It still continued to the first tournament this year, the pokerstars caribbean adventure, where I mincashed. I realized I ran hot, but to be honest I actually thought I was simply so much better than most, that this was just a slightly good run. I kept seeing people make horrible plays, and felt the edge. Well, I still have the exact same feeling, but always drop out before the money. So after the PCA I havent cashed a single time.

EPT Deauville + highroller: 5300€+20000€

EPT Copenhagen: 5000€

EPT San Remo: 5300€

EPT Monte Carlo: 10600€

Midnight Sun: 3000€

EPT Tallinn: 4250€

Finnish Championships PLO+NLHE: 3000€+3000€

WSOPE 6max+PLO: 2900€+5800€

 

Thats a solid 68150 euro, might have forgotten some tourney but should be all. Sure I've gotten sponsored to many of them, but even off that the finnish tax administration takes the 50+%. When you include all flights, hotels, food and everything I don't even wanna know how much im down. Thank god I'm up well online.. :)  I decided not to go back to London for the EPT, just didnt have the motivation after all this.. But when you really look at it, it's just 11 tourneys which is basically nothing, I've played 11 tournaments online in a night multiple times with no cash. So I'm just gonna blame it on variance. But to be honest after all the extra expenses, there really isnt that much value in your normal EPT tournament. One reason I've been motivated to play them aswell is because there is still a chance to become the first double EPT winner, noone has won 2 of them so far. I might play one more this year, but probably gonna cut down on live tourneys for next year. And need to save up energy for my first Vegas visit next summer!

Not so much has happened online. Results have been breakevenish, havent really felt much like playing and havent played my best..

Anyways GL at the tables!
