Basically as the title suggests what do you hope to achieve in 2014?

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

2013 resulted in my first 5 figure bink, hoping to get a second in 2014 then go for the elusive 6 fig in 2015.

Failing that if I can make enough money between Jan - June to maintain my standard of living from Jul - Dec I will be more than happy.

Does it have to be poker related or would emptying your bowels on the Xfactor auditions count?

:)

:D

Poker

400k VPPs
Play no more than 5 live tournaments

Life

Make it to 2015
Go to at least 3 music festivals this summer
Stay happy

This was pretty much what I was thinking, and going to learn some new games too.

Also going to try and go gluten free for an extended period of time.

+$250k for the year.
Unrealistically Top 50 p5's worldwide - more realistically top 100.
Win a Major liveament.

Poker:

Last year it was to get a 5 figure, I came close, one more ladder & I would have been there.

So I will put this as my target, however just finding the time to play bigger events is a problem within itself, so just playing GPS, Sky, UKIPT & Monte Carlo would be fantastic!

Life:

Finding the time to do things & holiday. I keep saying "next year I am going to do that/go there" - 2014 is the year!

Getting back to playing more poker online and live been a bit slack with life,illness and broken laptop getting in the way so that's my goal poker wise for 2014

That will be plenty enough for me.

Deciding to stay playing cash or back to the long grinds of comps

Standard goals for me.

Jan-May = win enough money to go to Vegas with
August - December = win all the money lost in vegas back

Maybe get fit as well, if I have time with these two  ^

Bout time you lost some weight.

Work hard, eat less, exercise more, remain positive & make good decisions (stole the last one from BiTB) 

Poker: get above the average stack at some point of a deepstack. Reaching a final table and blinking one would be even nicer.

Life: get back into my running and get properly fit again. Make the most of my new job, whilst also leaving time for the other stuff.

They are winnable those.

Think I'm going to quit online poker.

I broke even in 2012, now I've lost in in 2013.

It's folly to blame variance for so long.

Don't think I can beat it any more, might just play the odd Sunday for fun.

drop down in stakes ?

I will try to:

Remember that 99% of the stuff I fret about doesn't really matter, and that the other 1% is probably beyond my control.

Find pleasure in as many things as I possibly can, especially the everyday stuff.

Be tolerant, give people the benefit of the doubt.

Try to do something nice for someone every day.

Travel more, even if it's only locally.

See more, even if it's just seeing familiar things from a new perspective.

Smile.

If you managed to beat poker before, then you can beat it again. You just need to put a lot more effort into it these days, if you're not prepared to do that then quitting is fair.

What games have you been playing out of interest? And what sort of sample size are we talking?

For next year, I intend to avoid watching the TV news.

I find myself getting very angry at so many things we have to put up with in this country, and I am clearly behind the times in what we should socially accept.

Good manners, chivalry, etc seem to be things of the past, and insisting on them from others gets me into too much trouble. That will be shelved also.

Sad, but I need to lower my BP somehow!

This is a tremendous goal more people should try. I have tried it on and off all year. So much of the news is literally there to evoke fear and is unlikely to actually impact our lives directly. IMO it's our addiction to news that has actually made UKIP a thing.

Sadly like most people, I just find myself turning on Sky News when I have five mins to kill. I think Kay Burley is kinda evil, though cant prove it yet.

Gonna say this probably worked out for you in 2014. Lend us a tenner.

2.5 out of 3. I imagine most regs would say I'm in the top tier but not really sure on whether they'd say #1. My goal for 2015 is to set better goals.

Winner

6 festivals this year? animal

Make good decisions.

Be slightly less shit than everyone else ;)
