End Of Year Review 2010

As 2010 comes to an end I thought I would post my results on I-Poker and those that relate the Maui Jackpot games:

 
UsernameGames PlayedAv. ProfitAv. StakeAv. ROITotal ProfitFormAbility /100NetworkFilter
Kartajana         846$0.58  $5  10%$494  -N/AiPokerYear2010 S5-5 Jackpot SNG Only
Kartajana         1,172$0.71  $8  8%$827  -N/AiPokerYear2010 SNG Only


Overall, it was a tough poker year for me with overall profits way down on 2009. I also experienced my first losing month in five years. Not something I want to repeat. I certainly need to improve to achieve my Maui challenge but I believe by playing them more exclusively I will benefit. I also feel I can improve as I am tackling/removing the main reasons for my reduced profits:
1.Did not play as much in 2010 due to moving house and related issues (not moving again).
2.Lack of physical fitness/well being after quitting the gym end 2009 (exercise bike for Christmas).
3.Played too much variety trying new games: played a lot of double or nothing SNGs early year and tried some new sites. (Playing full table sit n gos on Betfred, Pokerstars and Full Tilt only focusing 80% of my effort on the Maui Challenge).
4.Playing too many games against poker forum players who are generally above average -good fun but not very profitable. The only way to make money playing poker is to play against players who are worse than you. (Playing the once a week max only this year).
5.Other players are generally improving I believe. (Got to move my game up faster which is why I am specialising).
6.Affected more than normal by variance as I was having a poor year. (Will not be focusing on or expecting bad luck).
7.I was guilty of over analysing my game and making too many lists. (Oh well......)

Good luck at the tables in 2011. Happy New Year.
