August Round-up...

Poker in August ended with the main event of the APAT World Championships Of Amateur Poker, the two day £75 buy-in NLHE tournament... the effect on the bankroll was pretty much the same as the previous three side events!

You can see from the graph in the previous post that things never really got going, I did finish Lev 1 with marginally more chips than the 10k starting stack but never saw those heady heights again.

All things considered it was a good series of tournaments, as is usual with APAT events, and a few lessons learned; i) I'm not very good at Razz and 7-Card Stud, some study needed before attempting said tournaments again; ii) It was a mistake to decide to commute to London each day, while it definitely saved money the 2+ hours each way became very tiresome by the end of the week.

So, have I won enough to keep the wolf from the door for another month?

Party Poker, Cash... + $507.29
Party Poker, Trnmnts.. + $310.00
Eurolinx, Cash... -$478.72
Online Total... + $338.57 (£189)

Live Cash... + £215.00
Live Trnmnts.. - £78.00
Travelling... - £84.00
Live Total... + £53.00

Total for Aug... + £242.00

So, there we have it, £200 withdrawn into the real world bank account and the bankroll increases by £42. Considering this takes into account the £225 buy-ins for the APAT events and 4 x £21/day travelling expenses to The Vic... and, and the [hopefully] not to be repeated -$412 tilt session on Eurolinx... I am looking forward to a profitable September!
