As my 2012 results showed, 2012 wasn't a great year for my Poker financial results, but had high hopes and expectations I could turn it around in 2013 by studying my game more and being more disciplined. Sadly 2013 was even worse results :)
Pokerstars : -$ 1832.13
Black Belt Poker: -$ 2086.10 (-£ 1268.72)
Live play : -£ 247.00
Live results (excluding UKIPT High Roller)
6 attempts at Reading Casino (2 cashes) -£47
1 attempt at Reading G Casino (1 bubble) -£30
1 attempt at Farnborough Poker club -£90
Cash game at Farnborough Poker club -£80
I tend to view the live games as a night out and try to make them last as long as possible. Cashing in 2 events from 8 tries is still pretty good and perhaps highlights a more relaxed attitude in a deep stack 9 seat tournament is probably the best way to go most of the time. I could have done a lot better if one or two flips had gone my way, so am pretty happy with my live performances.

It seems my PLO and NLHE cash games have got worse since I dropped down! It also looks like Mobile Zoom is another big drain on my resources so must make sure I only play for fun in the micro stakes going forward. I'd like to play more 8 Game cash, as this looks pretty steady, concentrate on PLO on Pokerstars and try to get my results more consistent.
On the tournaments, my campaigns for EPT in particular but also for WCOOP and TCOOP were unproductive. I probably committed too much to EPT but did have some good games along the way. Next year I should probably focus more on MTT generally but keep to SCOOP and only commit a small budget to other festivals.

With BBP cash games, I crashed pretty spectacularly at the $1 level on SPEED, but otherwise wasn't too bad I guess.. Seems $0.20 level is the level I need to stay at for now, as only a tiny loss (down by only 1 buy in) The PLO was small sample, but looks like I was doing even worse than on Pokerstars for some reason. Think I need to stick to only $0.20 SPEED NLHE on BBP cash games from now on, if I play any cash on BBP at all
The tournaments weren't too bad as did a fair volume, but the STT didn't turn out as well as I would hope. If I play any BBP, will probably stick to just the MTTs
2014 Targets
With the new year I'm hoping to get back into a more normal monthly routine again, although will likely be a lower volume than 2013 due to time and bankroll constraints
My monthly targets will be:
- Play 400 cash hands on NLHE $0.10 6-max (1 table Speed) with target of breaking even (Pokerstars)
- Play 400 cash hands on PLO $0.10 6-max (1 table speed) with target of breaking even (Pokerstars)
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even (Pokerstars)
- Play 8 MTT with target of breaking even (BBP and Pokerstars)
Strategic Objectives for 2014
* Break even on all cash games
* Play Mobile ZOOM only at $0.02 stakes and even then as little as possible
* Try to play MTT more regularly
* Commit less to the online festivals
