2006 Results graphs etc

[Kyle]

I am going to keep this short so if yall have any questions feel free to fire away.

I started out the year playing 10/20 SH limit on Party and propping at an a site playing mostly 5/0 and 3/6 limit.

Within a few months I moved up to playing 30/60 SH on party and primarly propping at 10/20 and 15/30.

I offically went pro in May, which turned out to be a terrible month. Nothing went right. I finished stuck several grand on the month but with prop pay and rackback I finished up 5K.

Things turned around in June though. I smashed the 30 game on party for 45K and decided to quit propping and play exclusively on party. This turned out to be a decision I regret.

Things went pretty until party started the monster promotion. It is ridiculous that a site as big as party feels the need to outsource part of its marketing cost to the very players that contribute to the vast majority of their revenues. IMO the added rake was ridiculous playing SH 30/60 so I started playing NL and 50/100 limit when I could find soft games.

Currently, I play almost exclusively NL anywhere from 600 to 2K depending on my mood and the game selection. 1K is definitely where I log most of my hands though.

Results: +182K in the games plus another 65K in RB puts me at 247K for the year. I gradutated college wiht a 3.5GPA in december and have moved to ATL with another 2er. I can only hope that 2007 will be as good to me as 2006 was. I would like to thank stoxtrader for the coaching, the truth for answering my endless barrage of IMs about hands, and all the posters here from who I have learned from.

Biggest month: June +45K

Worst Month: Decemeber -200 dollars

P.S. for those of you who are still and school and thinking of taking some time off to play , don't. This is an example that you can still make good money while going to school full time. I considered taking some time off at the end of 2005. That would have been a huge mistake, IMO. Its seems with each passing year going to school became increasingly more difficult. I really do not believe that if I had taken a year off I would be able to force myself to attend in 2007.

Congrats on a great year and finishing school. You should be really proud of yourself for finishing, not many people would while making that kind of money.
