Terible start to 2013

I am running absolutly terible in the end of 2012 and start of 2013... Nothing is really going right. And just when I think it can't get any worse, this happens:

Here is the graph for the last 4 days:

2012 year review

Blog statistics and starting my poker "pro" carrer:

On 4 january 2012 I quit my job (because of the 350$/month wage and bad working conditions) and decided to play online poker for a living. In 2011, I had played my first poker hand in may, and by the end of the year I made 8000$ profits by going from 25-200NL mostly on party poker (the games where very soft back than). In january 2012 I decided that I will start playing on pokerstars, so that I could reach supernova (just the rakeback from supernova would cover my expenses for living). 

The first month was very brutal for me... I ran extremely bad and was way below all in ev. Also I had no reads on anybody, did not table select almost at all and I was getting pretty crushed. I was playing too loose and too aggresive and not folding in spots where I was beat 100%.  Also it was not good for me that I was playing mostly 50-200NL, limits witch have very good regs. Overall january was a disaster for me and my pro carrer thing was not going as planed for me. I started getting coached and moved down to 25NL, hoping that I could start winning again and fix my game and get some confidence back. After I moved down to 25NL in january I still have not been able to move up limits and only play 100+NL like I would have liked in 2011(each time I move up I run bad at the higher limits and get coolered and end up moving back down to 25NL). In february I was still way below all in ev but I started winning some money at least. Since than I never had a losing month  and also all my months in 2012 I was up in term of all in EV.

In may 2012 I created my blog(hoping that it would be good for me). At first I did not have any readers at all and only started making more blog posts in september. I also started spamming 2+2 with my blog and eventually poker players started visiting my blog... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS READ OR JOINED MY BLOG.

Here are the 2012 blog statistics:
  • 52 posts

The final numbers for 2012 are as follows:
1,335,159 Hands Played  --- 109,973 VPP's
+$22,282 (cash game profits)

Looking back at the results, I have to be pleased with my results, because I made almost 10 times the money that I would have made if I continued working at my job (I am unhappy that I did not find about poker sooner - it would have been nice to play in the 2008-2010 or even earlier games). I am happy that I quit my job... I am not pleased with my low volume, my tilt control and the silly mistakes I make sometimes. In 2013, just by doubling my volume and having better tilt control should allow me to achieve mutch better results... Here are my goals for 2013. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY AND I WISH YOU A GREAT 2013 YEAR!!! THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY THAT HAS FOLLOWED MY BLOG. GOOD LUCK!!!

December 2012 review

December was the second most swingy month I had this year. I had two 40000+hands breakeven streches. It is a shame I could not run better because the games where so good and I could have made a lot of money. In the last day of the month I had my worst session ever (-600$ at 25-100NL) and eventually had to stop playing before I lose even more. Its just variance...
 
The final numbers for December are as follows:
135,909 Hands Played
11,612 VPPs
+$2,056 (cash game profits)
+$650 (FPP value)
+$180 (coaching)
------------------------------------------------------------------
+$2,886 (Total Month)
 
And the graph and results by stakes:
 Here are my goals for 2013.  Happy new year and good luck to everybody in 2013...
