On January 23rd I finished 3 out of 224 for $70.82 - a nice return on my $3.30 buy-in. With more than $250, I can now buy-in to a single table tournament or a cash game for about $12. I can now buy into a multi table tournament for about $5. So, I am moving up in stakes.
Here's a look at the daily variance:
The variance is mostly +/- 5% with an occasional larger gain (Jan 23rd) or a larger loss ( January 15th).
I played 204 games in January, at a net gain of $76.16 or about an average of $0.37 per game. In reality there are many many very small loses and a few big wins that enable profits.There were 15 negative days, 2 break even days and 14 positive days.
Slowly but surely, with strict bankroll management in place, I creep towards my goal of $10K.
