Reflect
For my NLHE I am not all that disappointed.  My 0.10 level is break even, and although the 0.25 level is a buy-in down, is amounts to 1 or 2 key hands which I lost...   PLO was pretty good overall, but it's a bit swingy.  I was a lot more up at one point, then had a couple of bad hands to drop a couple of buy-ins along the way.   Omaha Hi-Low is a brutal game :)  I quite enjoy it and want to play more seriously, but perhaps I should stick to PLO for the moment!      I'm still going to try and move up to 0.25 level half and half this month (when I get time!!)

The MTT/STT sample is not big enough to make any meaningful comment.   I guess my result is pretty much average for the STT (One each for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place)

May 2014 Targets:
Will be as reduced due to Bognor trips and SCOOP activities:
- Play 800 cash hands on NLHE $0.10 Full Ring (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 400 cash hands on PLO  $0.10 6-max (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 1 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
