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
