The Post
Hi, I haven't posted anything here since January because I am not playing poker nowadays. I have made the decision on January, after the "reveillon". I am pursuing another goals that are more rewarding for me in terms of personal development than poker.
Anyway, poker gave to me some valuable "tools", I learned a lot about many different things that go beyond the tables, like bankroll management, emotional discipline, expected value, and so on.
Those things are very valuable and essential.
My poker career was positive, and I am not saying that I will never play again, far from it. Probably will play occasionally but right now i am not playing like a routine thing, I am not motivated for that, my last hand of poker was played in January.
I am seeking new challenges and the experience that I received with poker is an valuable asset to me so I can reach my goals. In my point of view, my new activities have less variance and less time consuming than poker, so I can enjoy more time with my family and they can be more profitable either.
I hope you enjoyed my blog, I am not closing it but I for now I will no write anything at all. In the future I will see if I change the blog, close it or something else.
I want to thank you all for reading my poker blog, this post was something that I wanted to do a long time ago for you. If you guys enjoy poker, continue to play, it is a very interesting game and who knows, probably in the future we will meet at the tables in some live event.

Cash Games 2012 Review
Happy New Year to everyone!
A new year has begun and some new things to do and to study.
I dedicated almost my entire poker time in 2012 to cash games instead of tournaments or sits (mini tournaments).
Here is the Net Profit Graph from 2012 at NL2 ($0.02 stakes) and NL5 ($0.05 stakes) cash games.
Most of the time (probably more than 95% of the time) I played full ring (tables with 9 players instead of 6 players).
The next image is the analysis in terms of stakes, I played most of my hands, about 108k at NL5 ($0.05). You can see the new won/lost per stakes in $USD, the Pokerstars VPP (points made) and the last 4 columns are some of the most important stats that every poker player has when playing the game.
The next image is the analysis made per month, I added the column Session Length, what I mean is how much time did I spent per month playing.
I am satisfied with the 2012 results, not so much because of the net won but because of the learning experience that poker taught me during the all year, specially during the time where I had some downswings. I had a break even stretch of hands between the 130k hands and the 215k hands.
This is why volume is so important in poker, the long run is really important.
