Happy New Year everyone! I just finished entering in my final poker session for 2010 into my pokerdominator.com account. It was a pretty good year overall, but mostly it was a good second half of the year and a mediocre first half.
The pokerdominator.com website allows you to run slews of interesting reports. It's too bad the site won't let me share the data directly, but I'll cut/paste some of the ones I found interesting (even the bad ones.)
Note: All stats are from 11/11/2008 (when I first started tracking my poker sessions) to 12/30/2010 (the last session I played.) I entered every single session no matter where I played, the type of game I played, or how much I won/lost. It's all there.

I realize that the money data is the most interesting, and I do have it. I just don't feel like I should be sharing that information publicly on the internet. But if you ever play with me, just ask to see it, and I'll load up the website for you.
Looking at the money data, there are some interesting things that I didn't figure. For one, I've always complained that I'm down, lifetime, at my friend Roy's game, but it turns out that I'm actually up there. I was surprised to see that I was down at The Orleans and Winstar (though not by a lot in either location) too. It turns out that I'm profitable at every game type I've played. That was a bit surprising. I also thought I was more profitable at tournaments than I am. Granted, I've only played in 16 of them in over 2 years, but still... I expected a larger profit. I was NOT surprised to find out that I am a lifetime loser in Fixed Limit Poker. I just don't do well when I can't put a lot of pressure on my opponents.
It's too bad I only started logging 2 years ago. Oh, well. I figure I was a slight winner in the early years of poker. We used to play 5c/10c, and I used to rock the game with my $20-30 a night wins. ;)
