2014 Results
Below are my results from 2014, the Player Group at the top showing the total results and a breakdown by site. I also separated each month in the graph to see how much volume i was putting in.
I am not that pleased overall and expected to do a lot better than last year, if it wasn't for a decent december i think i would be quite upset (and broke).
The year started well for me with wins in the stars.fr warmup ($12k) follow by taking down the 11r ($8.6k) a few days later.
I had a great May during SCOOP cashing in the only 2 high buyins that i played. After being told to play the first $2100 buyin by my backer and cashing for $18k i remember buying in directly to the other 2 days later, after not winning any satty's to it. While playing i posted a hand to my backer and he wasn't happy that i regged it as it was a smaller and tougher field. I got told to ask before regging any high buyins after that, oops!
June also went well for me taking 2nd place in both the Big55 and Big109. In July i was scared of 2nd place so chopped the $162 Nightly 3 way as chipleader.
From August onward is around where i started this thread, i had my own $25k backroll. I managed to lose over half of it over the next few months. I am still not sure if i was playing badly due to it being my own money and seeing my cashier get lower and lower, most likely that was the case. With enough of a life roll to last me to the end of the year paying living expenses i decided that i would just call it a failed shot on my own roll and return to a stake.
In November i managed to get 2nd in the Big75 quite early on, refusing a chop because i had a skill edge and momentum but then sadly losing a huge flip.
December went really well for me, i put in a ton of volume (1,100~ mtts) and got a bunch of deep runs. Sadly though the deep runs weren't deep enough and although they gave me nice paydays i had a chance to make serious money;
I lost 2 flips pretty close to each other in the FTOPs main, the first would have given me a nice chip lead on the FT bubble but these things happen, what can you do
I ended the year with a win in the Hot16.50 where i feel i played really well! I just started using ICMizer and during the tournament after each hand i would check to see what hand range i should be shoving in that spot, i think that gave me a really good feel for how i should be playing. I came into the FT 2nd in chips and managed to go to the short stack and back up to chip leader a couple of times. I quite like when that happens actually as it puts this idea of me being on a freeroll in my head, it really shouldn't make any difference but somehow it does (probably not a good thing).
I managed to make 91k vpps for the year so wasn't able to get supernova, i played zoom for a few days but then realised i would need to play over 30k hands and didn't think that was worth doing for the extra $2.5k.
I don't know if i will continue posting a lot in this thread, i would like to but whenever i start to go on a downswing i get pretty annoyed and stop posting.
2015 Goals
I saw Gil3000 post about a top#300 pocketfives ranking in his thread, i am currents 628th with an All-Time High of 368 (2013), it would be nice to get below that again.
6 figure score. I know i am able to do this, just have to keep going deep in things!
1,000 mtts each month. I had a girlfriend for the past 8 months and was taking a lot of time off to see her. I'm single now so should be able to manage 50% more volume
