I was thinking it could be fun to do a thread about trying to fund a spring break trip entirely through poker. Let's say I put a deadline of Jan 1st 2007 to book.
How nice my spring break vacation is depends on how well I do at the tables. If I clean up, I'll probably go to Cancun; if I do OK, I'll go to Panama City; if I go broke, I stay home.
Cost for a week in Cancun all-inclusive with the flight is likely to cost me about $1300-$1400
Cost for a week in Panama city with a bus ride is likely to cost me about $700-$800
Start date is actually Oct. 10th, my starting bank roll was about $800. The initial bankroll obviously doesn't count towards the trip, I need to keep it for further playing anyway.
Date | Time played | Tables & type | Daily total | Grand total
Oct 10 | 2.5 hrs | 2 tables 0.5/1 | $19.20 | $19.20
Fighting the cards all day, not much to show for this session.
Oct 11 | 3 hrs | 2 tables 0.5/1 | ($33.20) | ($14.00)
Not a great start so far, still feeling a little rusty from not playing in 4 months
Oct 12 | 1.5 hrs | 2 tables 0.5/1 | $8.15 | ($5.85)
Oct 13 | 3 hrs | 1 table 0.5/1 | ($23.55) | ($29.40)
These .5/1 tables are killing me, play is way too loose and I can't establish an image or isolate players
Oct 14 | 3.5 hrs | Mixed 0.5/1 & 1/2 | $77.56 - $48.16
Finally a good day, my style is a much better fit for the 1/2 tables.
Oct 15 | 2.5 hrs | 1 table 1/2 | $110.10 | $158.26
Another good day, just a few days like this and I'll be sipping Pina Coladas in Cancun
Oct 17 | 2.5 hrs | 1 table 1/2 | ($74.83) | $83.43
Blah, awful day. Couldn't win a hand, and when I had something good I ran into monster hands.
Oct 18 | 4.5 hrs | 2 table 1/2 | $89.75 | $173.18
Oct 19 | 2 hrs | 2 table 1/2 | $22.25 | $195.43
Oct 20 | 1 hr | 1 table 1/2 | $49.50 | $244.93
Oct 21 | 1 hr | 3 tables 1/2 | $76.00 | $320.93
Oct 22 | 3 hr | 3 tables 1/2 | ($128.00) | $192.93
Ouch, tilted away a bunch of chips across three tables.
Oct 24 | 1 hr | 2 tables 1/2 | ($32.00) | $160.93
=======================================================
Total: 31 Hrs - $160.93
That's it so far
