Report from the riverboat

Well, here's the first report from the January 2007 Tunica outing:

I left with $1300, return with $1200.

Expenses:
$1850

7 tournaments costing a total of $1450.
Travel costs were $125 (private charter flight there and back)
Lodging 6 nights: $215
1 paid dinner, Lamb: $60 [I went with the fellas to the nicest
restaurant in the casino, kinda like Bones on Piedmont.] (all other
meals and drinks comped)
Wins:

I was only able to cash in one tournament to win $500, of which, I
paid $125 protection [Donovan and I paid $125 to enter. 10 people
total, 2 winners. If I won, but Donovan did not, then I gave back the
entry fee... Protection] , net gain, $250
Doing the math, this is ($300) [Tournament wins, $250 less expenses
$1850 is $1600. Starting cash $1300 = ($300). Since I have $1200, I
must have gained $1500 somewhere.] . I return with $1200 cash,
therefore, I won $1500 playing $1/2 on the cash tables [these were
the 'cheap' tables, you can only start with $200 maximum] .
Massive experience points. ATL scene, look out!
Net -$100 for a week of poker fun! I can't live on $100 a week, normally.
