Poker: Financial results for December 2012

Plan

My monthly targets are:
- Play 600 hands of cash on NLHE $0.50 Full Ring or 6-max, 600 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      :  -$  184.59
Black Belt Poker:  +$    3.84 (+£2.37)
Live play       :  +£    0.00

For Pokerstars, my 8 game cash was back in profit with +$63.61 but my Zoom PLO was -$96.08, so -$32.47 for cash overall.   I played 3x 8 Game STT but had no luck, making -$14    Some MTT was just messing around, but cost me -$31.90 for the pleasure it gave, but the main loss was my attempts to satellite into EPT, costing me -$106.22.  Did have one good run and felt I played well overall, so will be trying again!

8 Game wins/losses by game type for December
2-7        -12.20
Limit HE   -22.94
Omaha HL   +13.00
Razz       +30.86
Stud       - 7.17
Stud HL    + 7.07
NL HE      +23.95
PLO        +31.04

BBP results break down as follows:

Cash results (-£6.49 overall)
NLHE Speed  ($0.20)  236 hands   +£ 1.68
NLHE 6-Max  ($0.20)  199 hands   -£32.22
PLO         ($0.50)  407 hands   +£24.05

Tournament Results (+£8.86 overall)
3x   MTT           -£ 6.87
3x   6 seat STT    +£15.73

Reflect
Pokerstars 8 game cash is still my most consistent area, but Speed PLO needs more discipline to make sure I don't drop loads.  The STT and MTT results are as expected with such a low volume, just need to get lucky with the EPT sats :)

BBP volume is pretty low, but not too bad overall.  

Adjust

For Pokerstars, concentrate on 8 Game cash and maybe dabble a bit more in Zoom PLO cash to get more consistency (or find out I shouldn't play it anymore )

BBP I just need to get back to normal volume levels, as December had a lot of distractions

Targets

* Keep to my revised Poker Plan
Surpassed Cash games hand targets for NLHE but didn't hit the PLO target.  

* 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 but for 6-max result, PLO OK apart from the odd poor month, PLO8 looking a bit better

* 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 :-)
Not achieved this year.   Not even close, sadly...
