Poker: SCOOP 2012 summary and conclusions

scoop

Well, my SCOOP campaign went pretty much to my original plan, in that I played 4 out of the five I was hoping to play.  I didn’t manage to Satellite into the Medium level events, but was contented to play the Low level events

Events summary

Satellite cost $16.50 took 15 mins
Event entry cost $11.00, took 105 mins, return $0

Total cost $27.50 and 2 hours time investment

Satellite cost $9.90 took 58 mins
Event entry cost $0, took 90 mins, return $0

Total cost $9.90 and 2.5 hours

Satellite cost $5.50 took 64 mins, return $8.00
Event entry cost $27, took 315 mins, return $45.81

Total profit $21.31 and 6.25 hours

Satellite cost $37.50 took 4 mins
Event entry cost $0, took 360 mins, return $154.89

Total profit $117.39 and 6 hours

Total profit for all events $101.30 and 16.75 hours

Was it worth it ?

From a purely financial point of view, I earned about $6 (£3.79) an hour which is not all that great from a professional point of view… luckily I am a recreational player,  so am pretty contented just to make any kind of profit across these events Smile

Of course for me there is the excitement and anticipation before the games, I actually enjoy the planning and looking forward to the games element of such a Poker festival… and there is always that allure of a potentially big score… plus the inevitable feeling afterwards that I could have done even better than I did.

All in all, it was a very enjoyable SCOOP this year and was well worth the effort.   Will definitely be playing these events again…. and of course it’s not that long until WCOOP Smile
