This year is coming to an end and what better to some up our own year of poker.

My own personal year has been pretty poor. I haven't recorded most things, but see a small loss of around £1k, after not cashing much in the local games & perhaps not playing much either. In the local games we've seen a handful of £1k-£2k cashes, whilst a small one at DTD.

Even though we have made a small loss over the year, we have been able to play some bigger events out of my own pocket, those being the £150, £336, £560 deepstacks at DTD and thoroughly enjoyed. I also played the Nottingham leg of the UKIPT & also the Sheffield Leg of the GPS.

The year as a whole pokerwise has been OK, as it has been the first time I have played bigger stuff.

I don't play online & can't remember any numbers playing cash. Looking foward to 2013.

Played live for the first time this year. Set myself a target at the start of the year to satellite in to live games and played about 8 that i have got in to plus 2 local small buy ins. Cashed twice (13th both times) but played way too many tournies online and not kept an eye on my bankroll.

Had a good last 4 weeks online final tabling 5 times in small buy ins.

Really enjoyed all but one live game (some right knobs on my table) and being a recreational player I am we'll pleased to have played the 8 live satellited games where I am in profit.

Next years aims for me

Enjoy the game
Be very strict on online play
Play less online
Satellite in to 8 or more live tournies
Final table a live game then win one.

Sounds simple enough


Oh and a few things I have learnt this year

Far too many people take themselves too serious
There are more gentlemen/women in poker than arseholes
Replying "easy-I just dropped my chips over the line" tends to upset the person who asked "how the hell can you call with that?"

2012 went OK for me.

Sufered the biggest equity beat of my life in November, but had a ball getting to be in position to lose it and was in a great place to get over it.

2013 goals in formulation but one has to be a Herbieflag at a venue that isn't DTD.

Followed the same pattern that I have for a few years now.
Played less this year than last year, so made less profit.
Posted less frequently on forums this year.

Only broke even in Vegas this year, worst result for a while, ran bad though.

Have to say at the micros I play, and especially in Vegas, the standard of play seems worse than it's been for years

Best year ever online on Sky, both tournies and cash and actual volume.
Got the job with Sky which is going well so far and I'm really enjoying so hopefully that continues in 2013
Small winner on .fr but a small loser on .com
Staking has been about breakeven, with Mr Brammer saving the day.
Live I had a very good summer in Vegas, followed by a very very bad Oct/Nov trip.  Still up tho in Vegas this year by a nice amount.
Live tournies in the UK it has been awful.  Down massively.
Live cash have booked a decent win for the hours I've put in but nothing major.  Just solid.

Really, really looking forward to 2013 and unlike a lot of poker 'pros' think that there is still so much money to be made from the game and I really hope that I can bink a nice score on the live scene.  Also can't wait for Vegas 2013!

Equity beats are the new black.

Mostly stuck to cash this year at DTD. Nice profit in the 1/2 and .50/1, but only a very small profit in the 1/1 for some reason, probably due to a handful of disastrous sessions and a smaller sample size.

Played very few comps this year, and when I have won a satellite in to a deepstack I've run very much the opposite of an American sprinter playing sevens.  Hopefully, I can play a few more deepstacks next year and be on the happy side of variance.

Might even play a bit more online in 2013...

Hardly played in 2012, going to change that for 2013.   Will try and get to my local club once a week at least (Sovereign in North Camp) and will try and qualify for some larger tournaments with Sky, DTD and maybe one or two others.

Had my biggest single cash this year but ultimately it was a bit meh overall.

Hopefully a transition into a more fruitful 2013.

Didn't play much live poker this year due to finding it about as interesting as sticking pins in myself, but came 3rd in the APAT in Glasgow for about £1400 to be in profit of about £1K, played only 3 sessions of live poker cash game winning about £250 overall.

Won $1000 in online tournaments this year, most of which came from from the APAT league, in which I won 3 rounds, and the 180 manners on Pokerstars (the non turbo version).

was about $700 up at $10 and $25nl six max this year but manged to give most of the online cash profit back playing the silly shortstacked HU games on Pokerstars, down about $700 on them. Also down about $500 playing PLO zoom.

NOt too bad overall. Targets for next year are:-

1) Finish 2013 in profit
2) Win an APAT event
3) Play a DTD Deepstack
4) PLay a more disciplined game online and stop playing games I know are -EV for me

I like this thread... not a bad year for moi,.... 2/3 500 ft's, holiday, 3 live wins inside a week, 2 s50 wins, all from running 'reasonably'. Sensible cash play means slightly up there too. Next year I hope to run v.good, cash deep in a big non dtd torn and take the lot....
