Mike's Blog: Poker: 2012 End of year results

The end of the year already, where does the time go ! The 2011 results show that last year was definitely a good year for me, sadly 2012 was not such a good year financially for me.

Overall totals for the year 2012 are:
Pokerstars : +$ 611.03 (+£ 377.31)
Black Belt Poker: -$ 1870.46 (-£1155.00)
Live play : -£ 436.66
Total -£1214.35 loss for the year

Live games were 7 games in Reading Casino, cashing in one. One trip to Farnborough Poker club and two BBP Live events, which were fun but ultimately unprofitable.

PLO8 ($0.50) 332 hands -£94.51
PLO8 ($1.00) 124 hands -£26.80

My cash losses are similar in value to last year. Annoyingly, my 9 and 10 seat results are pretty good, but can't get these games anymore, since Speed Poker and iPoker2 came along. My switch to 6-max NLHE was expensive and am still adjusting. My PLO results are huge loss compared to last year and show I must focus more on this game, or consider giving up ! On a much smaller sample, my PLO8 looks reasonable but still inconsistant

Tournament results (+£12.98)
69x MTT      +£111.17
47x   2 seat -£34.78
67x   6 seat -£35.54
1x    9 seat -£17.34
46x 10 seat -£10.53

Volumewise I did almost half that of last year, and the results overall are a lot worse. I suppose I have had a lot of distractions this year, including more play on Pokerstars, so probably not a surprise my volume and results are worse.

Achieving targets set at beginning of the year

* Keep to my revised Poker Plan
Pretty much achieved hands targets for both NLHE and PLO Do need to concentrate my efforts on less different types of games perhaps

* 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
Switching to 6-max messed up my NLHE results, with October accounting for all the losses and more! Hope it is under control now.
PLO and PLO8 most of the damage was done in the first quarter of the year but certainly both need more work for consistancy.

* 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 to avoid it this year

* Win a BBP league :-)
Not achieved this year. Not even close, sadly...

2013 Targets
* Keep to Poker Plan
* Focus on less variants of cash games
Zoom PLO, Speed NLHE, 6-Max NLHE and 6-Max PLO/PLO8
* Break even on all cash games
* Fiddle around less with MTT/STT variants, concentrate on NLHE and 8 Game
