Question What to expect

Hi all, I'm new to observational astronomy. Just purchased a collapsible 14" Dob and a few nagler eyepieces. Tried to look at Venus a few weeks ago but all i could see was a blurry blob. just wondering, what sort of images of planets could I expect to see with my setup? can I see rings of saturn or any details on Jupiter? Do i need to buy a barlow lense to magnify the view?

Thank for all the help!!
