Weatherford (December 8)

Last Saturday was the final game in Weatherford for the year, and I ended on a high for 2012.  Winning $210 for the evening put me in second place for most money won this year among the group who plays in my favorite home cash game.  A guy named Brandon earned more than $2,200 this year and I finished with a profit of $1,690 in a total of 12 games.

For the entire year thus far I have profited $1,365 and am hoping to play one more time before 2013 rolls around.  Unfortunately, I don’t have any great hands from the night to discuss.  I did make one really good call with top pair, seven kicker on the river against a player I read as bluffing.  My call paid off as he didn’t have the pair of aces beat.  It was a good read on my part and I was proud of myself for trusting my gut.

On Saturday, I played for 8.25 hours, resulting in a $25.46 hourly rate.  I’ve had a good year, but didn’t play as many hours as I planned or won as much money as I would have liked.

Whether I play one final time or not, I will do a yearly recap on my games and update how much I won and the hourly rate for the year.  It will be interesting to see how this year compares with the past three years that I have been keeping up seriously with my poker play.
