So my year is coming to an end now. Not really planning on many more big MTT grinding sessions, just the remaining Sunday's. I've now started to look towards next year and some goals that I want to work towards to.

Here are some basic goals that I'll try to share with you.

[ ] play 52 Sunday sessions
[ ] play 52 non Sunday sessions in the year
[ ] play 150 days of cash games
[ ] 500k vpps
[ ] manage the stable successfully throughout the year
[ ] make the bar profitable in 2015
[ ] invest in 2 other companies
[ ] play EPT Deauville, Malta, Barcelona, London, Prague and any other stops
[ ] play 4 high rollers on the stops
[ ] play Super HIgh Roller in Prague
[ ] average 3 days/week in gym/sport
[ ] waste less than 2 flights in the year
[ ] go outside 365 days of the year

Lots of competitive goals for me to work towards. Over
The next couple of weeks I'll be working on a lot of them already.  Will be spending a lot of time on the staking website, things have taken a while to get to where we need to be but have really been a lot of applicants so we wanted to spend as much time as possible ensuring we get the right guys.

I weirdly really don't feel great about my game right now, no hige downswing or anything, I guess its not about my a game but where I let my game slip to in recent sessions. Making mistakes and perhaps not being annoyed at making them. Giving maybe 65% in sessions and expecting to scrape by. disregarding regs hair because I have them tagged as bad/weak, not thinking about some relevant stuff in hands such as my overall range, range vs range, pushing bubble fold equity too much, pushing river bluffs too much. around 3 months ago I very much doubt many players were playing better than I was, that probably sounds srrogant but it's true. I was playing very well in a style I was comfortable with but recently
I've for some reason allowed ego to creep in. I know its happening too, when I'm doing it I know it, I'm not sure if its because of my approach before playing. Previously on breaks I used to do a lot of exercises but now I've let that slip too.

The good thing is I know about all of this and not going to cost myself 100,000 to find it out. I'm going to make sure that before every session I'm really mentally prepared before stepping in and do a lot of self analysis afterwards too. I'm going to start using some sticky notes around my pc and the area which I grind which I thjnk will be really beneficial as just gentle reminders. The main thing is that I do care, I pure bubbled a seemingly
Meaningless tournament tonight with a very bad best and I took t very hard. Each time I get knocked out of an MTT it still hurts.

Im incredibly excited about 2015, I want to get off to a good start and really push on and make it the best year of my career. Il be doing weekly goals with free rolls in 2015 to help
Motivate me step by step as I thjnk self evaluation/analysis really
Is one of the big things if you want to get to top.

I spoke in my goals about live tournaments and I definitely want to prove a lot to
Myself in them. I feel like I'm playing very well but sometimes making small mistakes such as calling a little bit too wide Etc. I really want to excel in the love arena and I'm Going to prepare so well so that if I lose the only thing I will be able to regret is variance.

I don't really know what else there is to add except one thing that I'd like some help for. We need a name for our staking website, the general business model is that we have 4 high stakes elite players coaching, bankrolling and advising a group of players and help move them up stskes. We have alot of high stakes friends who will come in and do one on one sessions with our players such as ept/wsop champions and just generally will be a high quality staking site that will hopefully turn into an extremely profitable business. The problem is we don't know what to call it.

Right now we have one name that we've suggested (by yours truly) which is a somewhat biased "WugWUg" Cheesy if you can suggest a name and we end up going with Ill go do u 10% of my SundayMillion double vision tournaments next week.

I'm being thick, what do you mean by this?

Scary that anyone would make this an actual goal, especially a dog guy, but kudos. I know plenty who wont.

Call the stable:

The Jiz Rags

It's almost guaranteed to mean your guys will win stuff, then the poker media has to report 'xxxx won the sunday warm up, he is a jiz rag player' etc.

What are your goals that don't relate to poker or making money?

Great that you're so ambitious but if that's the entirety of your 2015 goals then it needs revision imo to include some good life stuff.

Pads you ever applied to be on PokerStars Team Online? You pretty much fill the criteria. You play and win there a lot, you have (several) blogs, you have a fan base, you create content etc etc

You can have Daleroxus spot

Serious question and not mean to offend or troll AT ALL. I'm just interested.

You have expressed some fairly controversial political views in the past. I wondered if your views on politics have softened over the years and now you are living away from Gib?

edit: Actually that question is way too broad to be helpful so maybe answer this one instead if you have time....

Do you think living in Budapest has changed your outlook on society at all?
