Poker: Financial results for September 2012

financialChart

Plan

My monthly targets are:
- Play 600 hands of cash on NLHE $0.50 Full Ring, 700 cash hands on PLO $0.50 6-max, all with target of breaking even
- Play 20 NLHE STT hoping for +10% ROI

Monitor

Overall results for the month:-

Pokerstars      :  +$ 1045.59
Black Belt Poker:  +$  150.41 (-£94.82)
Live play       :   £    0.00

September was my worse month for a long time regards playing time, but the time I spent seems to have paid off :)    I had a bad dose of Man Flu (again!) holiday and various trips to hospital for the Wife's ailments, meaning there were only 8 days I played any Poker at all, with all of it being online.

Pokerstars was always going to be about WCOOP and managed a substantial cash (http://sceaga.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/poker-wcoop-2012-summary.html)  The only other Pokerstars was a few small stakes "messing around" MTT in which I didn't get anywhere.  Didn't play any 8 game cash at all this month.


BBP results break down as follows:

Cash results (+£108.06 overall)
PLO         ($0.50)  190 hands  +£108.06

Tournament Results (-£13.24 overall)

1x  MTT             £0.00
2x   2 seat STT   -£13.24

Reflect

What can I say..... I  played hardly any games this month, although my WCOOP win was a marathon session.    I'm not upset as I was not well so would have been silly to have forced myself to play in the state I was, and the holiday was well earned break.   Maybe I got the better results due to not playing so much as normal ?

Certainly pleased with my PLO win, but was just one winning session and the profit boiled down to one huge hand that I won, so can't assume I am a winning player just yet !  

Overall, well pleased with the results, but just a little disappointed about the volume achieved

Adjust

Try to get back to my normal routine and get some more volume in
Study more on Razz and Limit Hold'em to improve 8 game cash results
Keep studying Omaha and Omaha HL
Rework Poker schedule as will miss Tuesday nights going forward ? 

Performance against 2012 targets

* Keep to my revised Poker Plan
Didn't achieve the numbers for Cash games in September

* Play BBP London Live and UKIPT Brighton tournaments
Played two BBP Live events this year

* Aim for break even month on month on all cash tables
NLHE near enough, PLO OK apart from odd poor month!, PLO8 inconsistent!

* Use learning tools and resources to learn and improve my NLHE, Omaha and PLO8 cash and tournament play
Am putting in the effort to do some learning.

* Avoid entering any BBP grading process !
Managed it this month :)

* Win a BBP league :-)
Looks like will be consistently missing Tuesday nights going forward
