- Play 6400 cash hands on PLO $0.50 6-max (2 table Zoom) with target of breaking even
- Play 20 NLHE STT hoping for +10% ROI

Reflect
June has been a funny old month..... I dropped a lot of buy-ins on both PLO and NLHE cash games at $0.50 so with my bankroll in tatters, had to drop down to $0.20 halfway through the month. In the main, my game in NLHE and PLO is not too bad. I still make a couple of mistakes each session, which I still need to work on... but overall isn't all that bad. Problem is even though I'm happy overall, my bankroll couldn't stand the losses. It's not a big deal for me to play at $0.20 so will stick to that level until I can sort out my game and my bankroll has recovered. With a new smart phone, I also decided to install and "test" the Android client. It works very well actually, but without any HUD and the distractions when playing on the mobile have proved so far that I should use it for emergency Poker fix only, and definatly only at very low stakes !
The only bright point on my cash results this month is my continued good fortune with 8 Game. It's a game I really enjoy playing (more than NLHE and PLO) and find a lot of players at all levels that don't seem to understand at least some parts of the games. Interestingly enough, my results in the 8 games show losses in PLO and NLHE for the year to date.... so shows I must do more to fix my leaks in these areas.
The tournaments in Pokerstars were mainly messing around, but had a few serious goes at getting into an EPT, via the satelites (EPT Barcellona and also the EPT Passport) I did get through into a 220 Euro 2nd stage once, and had a decent run, but so far no joy.
The tournament results in Black Belt this month have been attrocious. I don't really understand why, but in 31 STT only cashed in 2 !
July Targets
I have decided to invest in Nick Wealthall's "Tournament Cash Machine" program (http://transformmypoker.com/) so July will more about training for and playing in MTTs. I also want to re-focus my cash games on BBP if possible, and try to study more rather than just play, so my adjusted targets are therefore:
- Have at least 4 study sessions
- Play 800 hands of cash on NLHE $0.20 6-max (1 table Speed) with target of breaking even (BBP)
- Play 350 cash hands on PLO $0.20 6-max (1 table) with target of breaking even (BBP)
- Play 4 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even (Pokerstars)
- Play 16 MTT
Strategic Objectives
* Keep to Poker Plan
Fiddled around due to bankroll issues
* Focus on less variants of cash games
So far, so good.
* Break even on all cash games
Needs more studying
* Fiddle around less with MTT/STT variants, concentrate on NLHE and 8 Game
OK this month
