I normally deposit £80 or so each month into my poker accounts, and then withdraw any winnings back to my bank account, and so far this year I have done ok. As well as being in profit - I qualified for both Betfair/Poker Player Grand Prix, the Betfair CityAM live event, won trips to Champions League final and Ibiza, and then the trip to Goa.

Now I am looking to play in bigger buy-in online tournaments to try and win some decent prize money. So last week I decided to book Monday and friday off work and try to qualify for the Pokerstars Sunday Million event - first prize pays around $180,000! I deposited all my poker funds for December and played solidly Saturday and Sunday, mostly in $2 triple shootouts, and $10 double shootouts. I managed 4th place twice in the double shootouts (2 qualifiers) - the first time going out with KK v 88, the second JJ v AK. Got bored on Saturday night and played a $50 buy-in event, going out with AK v KQ.

Managed to blow my months funds in one weekend!

So its freerolls all the way for the rest of the month :(
