How did your year go at poker and what do you want to change next year?
My poker year started in 2023 with beating Rampage and Jonathan Little out of $400 at the Mixed Game Festival in Resorts World and dusted half of it to Eli Elezra the next day (all 8/16 mixed).
Middle of the year I dumped a $1500 WSOP tourney to Jon Turner (pearljammed). Next day I lost $2K playing 20/40 to a guy who was playing live while playing an online WSOP event short handed against Dnegs. Also I ran into Phill Hellmuth later that month (like I literally ran into him when I turned around abruptly in Paris LV). He won a bracelet 17 hours later. I take half credit.
I won some money at the Dallas meetup. Really love that event - it’s become my favorite meetup of the year.
Towards the latter part of the year I got really drunk in a 6/12 session here in AZ and dumped a few stacks to Robert Williamson III who then tried to get invited to my home game and also tried to get me (of all people) to designated driver him to a Tuesday night homegame.
This all culminated in me waxing $3400 to a bunch of locals at the Oh-hi-lo meetup and then not playing for 2 months which is the longest stretch I’ve gone without playing since I started in 2007.
I played a few hundred hours of mixed limit games (6/12 thru 20/40) where I basically got slaughtered the second half of the year.
Played 4 NLHE sessions (1/2 to 2/5 - got winner in all 4) and some low limit HE sessions waiting for mixed limit games to open (slight winner). Home games were all mixed pot limit (slight loser after Ohio’s meetup).
What would I like to change in 2024:
1) play with bad players nobody knows
2) try to get back into low stakes NLHE
3) actually win money
4) have some good stories that don’t involve dusting, dumping, waxing, and getting felted
5) cash a WSOP tourney
6) run into Phil Hellmuth again
7) get to a meetup on Friday before 2p
