Stream recap

October 30: Session Recap

The session finished in the red. Tournament cashouts came to $225, and I also played 20 hands of Short Deck. Thanks to everyone who joined the stream and our community freeroll.

  • Tournament buy-ins: $12,073
  • Tournament cashouts: $225
  • Proceeds from first-entry action sales: $1,456.36
  • Investor payouts: $0
  • Personal tournament result after shares: −$10,391.64
  • Short Deck: actual result over 20 hands: −$751.92
  • Poker total: −$11,143.56
  • Separate community freeroll expense: −$500
  • Total including the freeroll expense: −$11,643.56

Both bounty cashouts came from re-entries, so there are no investor payouts on the sold first-entry shares. The $500 freeroll is counted separately as an expense, not as poker cashouts.

The next stream is Sunday, November 1. I’ll post the announcement later. I’m also planning a monthly recap this evening, so stay tuned for an update.

October: 128 hours live and a month in the red

October 1–30 comes to approximately −$28.1K, including the current week’s expected Rewards. A losing month, but there was plenty of poker, 16 streaming days and a community freeroll with 683 players. Here is the whole picture.

Away from the noise

Poker, life, and the process in between. A little room to think beyond the next hand.
