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.
