Reflect
My cash game has mainly been on Mobile Zoom, without a HUD, the results for PLO are OK, but my NLO8 results need improvement.   The other results are for tiny hand volumes, so no firm conclusions can be drawn
For the Tournaments, I'm pretty happy overall although most of the years profit came from one tournament.    The STT results are OK for the Spin'n'Go (surprisingly!) and the EPT sat, but the 6 seat results are terrible, although still on small sample.   The 9 seat STT are about average, so is OK even with the loss. 
All in all, I haven't been able to get the hours in on my playing this year, for several reasons.   Hope that 2017 will allow me to have a more regular schedule and get into a winning routine

Comparing results to my Strategic Objectives for 2016
*  Work more on my game to be able to break even on all cash games
Not too bad overall, although the volumes are pretty low, apart from PLO and NLO8.  For these two, NLO8 is actually pretty poor results, but the PLO is OK.   In both cases, the bulk of the hands were being played via mobile zoom, so not taking the game so seriously in some sessions.   Ideally would like to reduce the mobile zoom volume and play "properly" on my laptop.

*  Commit only to the TCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
Almost made it :)  Played MicroMillions, SCOOP (http://sceaga.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/poker-scoop-2016-results.html) and WCOOP, with SCOOP being my best performance

*  Only try EPTs when have got previous months profits
Almost got to Barcelona :) but in any case had a good profit.  Also showed profit for my Malta attempt but for Prague didn't get any traction


Strategic Objectives for 2017
*  Get back to a more regular schedule of playing
*  Commit only to the TCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
*  Only try Pokerstars Championship (formerly EPT) when have got previous months profits

Live results were pretty pleasing… it’s always nice to cash.

Cash was basically where I was messing around but did a lot of messing around Smile   Overall pretty happy with my playing, but still seem to call when I know I’m beaten!

My tournaments were again mostly just messing around for half hour here and there, but seems my Spin’n’Go touch deserted me.  probably due to playing too aggressive, although you have to on those games really…  Maybe just reign it in a bit…

Will so an end of year analysis and summary shortly, and decide what my 2017 Poker Year should look like…
