Reflect
I was pleased to hit my cash target for hands played this month, despite a week away in Bognor.   Having said that, the results seem a bit swingy again.  In fairness I am probably playing a bit over aggressive now (both NLHE and PLO) so probably need to rein that in a little bit to get better results.    Sadly I got tempted by Zoom NLO8 on my mpbile again :)  Although a lot of fun, I was up and down like a yoyo, and relatively relieved to be less than a buy-in down!

My tournament results were brilliant, in that I won a sat into both TCOOP 8 game $320 and also an 82 Euro EPT sat on the same night, so decided to cash in the $320 to play the EPT sat.  This result set me up for the month and was happy to re-invest some of my good fortune into playing additional EPT and UKIPT sats.   My STT results were a little bit down this month (on a very small sample) but not sure why.  I guess variance is catching up with me :)    I'm planning to keep the remainder of my winnings for SCOOP

March 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
