All about the millions

Last night, I did that trick of the hands thing again. For the 47th time in my online poker career, I made a profit of at least one million play dollars in a single session. What's pretty astonishing is that I now have a substantial aggregate loss in the sessions where I failed to make a profit of at least a million. Thankfully, that loss is dwarfed by the profit of the $1M sessions. Here's the breakdown:

                         # sessions  aggregate delta

at least $1M in profit           47      $91,781,725
less than $1M in profit       2,771     $-32,646,957

Here are the $1M sessions broken out by year:

year   count         profit

2014       1     $1,035,500
2017      19    $39,422,725
2018      16    $29,957,000
2019      11    $21,366,500

It's no coincidence that 2017 was the year I discovered MTT-R NLHE tournaments. I'm on a pace to reach 25 $1M sessions by the end of the year, which would be a new high water mark. My current extrapolated profit for the year is $29,763,395. It's all about the millions, baby :-)
