financialChart

Plan
My monthly targets for August were:
- 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/STT with target of breaking even (BBP)
- Have one more try at EPT sat, using FPPs to buy-in
- Play some WCOOP sats (if available and depending on the final schedule for the Main Events)

Reflect
My main focus this month was the WCOOP sats and everything else was pushed aside.  I also ran out of Poker bankroll 3/4 way through the month (hence my early post for end of month results) so my playing is now curtailed until next month.  

My live game was a bit frustrating, as managed to get to the final table but finished as the money bubble boy.  Did feel I played well overall though, so cannot complain.....

I have done my study sessions as targeted, watching Nick's Tournament videos.  I've still got a few video's to watch, so will need to continue with my studying, but have got spare time at the moment (as I have no Poker bankroll left) so shouldn't be a problem to get through them

Pokerstars cash results were pretty good (by my recent standards :) ) so was happy just to post a plus result in all categories.   The WCOOP sats were the main expenditure for me.  I posted a blog about this already (http://sceaga.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/poker-wcoop-2013-summary.html) so won't dwell on my lack of results here.   I wasn't intending to play a UKIPT London sat, but saw it listed when I was browsing so just jumped in.  Obviously was a waste of time and money :)

I didn't play much on BBP, just three league games and four other NLHE MTTs  I did cash one MTT (4th from 12 players) but nothing special to mention

My cash results were better than expected, and my tournament results are about on par with expectation.  Shame I didn't get anywhere with WCOOP, but it was always a bit of a long shot anyways.   

October Targets
I am still going through Nick Wealthall's "Tournament Cash Machine" program (http://transformmypoker.com/) so October will also need to be about training for and playing in MTTs.  My bankroll is precarious, so will have to drop right down in stakes to stay within my BRM   My targets are therefore:

- Have at least 4 study sessions
- Play 400 hands of cash on NLHE $0.10 6-max (1 table Speed) with target of breaking even (Pokerstars)
- Play 400 cash hands on PLO $0.10 6-max (1 table speed) with target of breaking even (Pokerstars)
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even  (Pokerstars)
- Play 5 MTT/STT with target of breaking even (BBP)

Strategic Objectives
*  Keep to Poker Plan
Went out the window a bit this month due to WCOOP and Bankroll
*  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
