Reflect
The above results were from one normal week of playing, so obviously the volumes are down on expected and can't draw too much conclusion from the volumes.  Luckily for me the overall results are OK, although my NLHE is still letting me down.  Will be analysing more next week as part of my routine, but I'm basically playing too loose and aggressively now so need to reign it in a bit !

Hopefully February will be a "normal" month and can knuckle down and work on my game

February 2014 Targets will be as standard:
- Play 800 cash hands on NLHE $0.10 Full Ring (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 800 cash hands on PLO  $0.10 6-max (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 4 MTT with target of breaking even

Strategic Objectives for 2015
*  Work more on my game to be able to break even on NLHE and PLO cash games
*  Don't play Mobile ZOOM
*  Try to play MTT more regularly
*  Commit only to the SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
*  Only try EPTs when have got previous months profits

Reflect
There are precious few plus signs on my overall results sadly.   The overall results are OK actually, but still mostly small negatives in my cash games.   I havent been analysing and working on my game as much as I should, so will need to work out what I want to do going forward for 2015.   I still overcommitted to the online festivals,  WCOOP in particular, so will need to restrict myself to SCOOP and MicroMillions.  I might throw in a little bit of EPT but only if I can "earn" the buy-in from other activities.   Thing is I really enjoy the games I play, so don't want to restrict myself to much but would be more enjoyable to at least breakeven.  

Strategic Objectives for 2015
*  Work more on my game to be able to break even on NLHE and PLO cash games
*  Don't play Mobile ZOOM
*  Try to play MTT more regularly
*  Commit only to the SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
*  Only try EPTs when have got previous months profits

I have amended my Poker Plan to what I hope will be realistic (from February onwards anyway...)  so for 2015 my standard monthly target will be:
- Play 800 cash hands on NLHE $0.10 Full Ring (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 800 cash hands on PLO  $0.10 6-max (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 4 MTT with target of breaking even
