Poker Charter review 2016…
Wow, just realised it’s almost 2 years since I finished my first “Poker Charter”.
When I started the charter I was a little fed up with the way my poker had descended into complete “gamble fest” and wasting my time , energy and money!! While %”#@ing off more than a few players in the process, anyway my thoughts were “What have I got to lose?” if I turn it around the “Charity” gets some money and I get to keep playing poker etc. etc.
The charter really helped me focus and try harder when playing poker the results spoke for themselves, I had the best run of results playing poker ever..
I did find it restricting, because part of the charter was to keep a record of every tournament and log the results “To keep it official”, easy to do when you arrive home at 9/10pm after busting out early harder when it’s 2/3am with the same result, some nights it was stick a post it on the charity’s share and elastic band it until the next day!!
It was a huge honour to gain some extra cash for “The Capuchin Day Centre” and to my mind these people are “Legends” what they do for homeless people in Dublin on a daily basis is FANTASTIC!!!
People often ask was it difficult passing over the winnings once my results started to turn around, the answer is simply “No” because in my mind once the charter was in play 1/3 of whatever was handed to me after the tournaments belonged to the charity no working out what it had cost to play or anything else…
It was hard to keep focused for the length of time I allocated to the charter, in retrospect I should have reduced it to prevent me from losing focus on the charter, I decided to keep a copy of the charter in my wallet for the times I started to “wander”
So if your reading this your probably asking “why now, why do a review of the charter?”
Simply put when I started the charter first is was running bad and it helped me focus!!
Now I’m running pretty good and I have qualified for both league finals in the Fitz this weekend.. With that in mind I am restarting “Officially” the Charter for the next month starting now.. After that I will revise it…
Thanks….
