Wager Day

Wikipedia defines Tax Freedom Day as follows:

Tax Freedom Day is the first day of the year in which a nation as a whole has theoretically earned enough income to pay its taxes.

I'd like to appropriate this idea for poker purposes. Here's my definition of Wager Day:

Wager Day is the first day of the year when the total amount of money you've wagered on poker exceeds the amount you wagered the previous year.

Last year, I wagered $64,650,000. So far this year, I've wagered $63,200,000. If I average $250,000 per session for the next six sessions, Wager Day will arrive on September 21.

Last night, I bubbled the only tournament I played. There was such a low turnout, I made the final table but failed to make the money.
