Reflect
The Farnborough Poker club is now shut :( so went back to Reading Genting for their £35+5+5 (plus 1 re-entry)   Sadly I didn't get much traction and wasn't 'feeling it' so once I was out, decided not to re-buy and went home early.

All my online activity is  for the foreseeable, which makes it easier to report on :)   I didn't quite make the cash hands target (mainly due to MicroMillions)  Although the overall cash total was roughly breakeven, I was a little disappointed with my NLHE results.   I'm 4 tabling so playing a little robotically perhaps, so need to keep an eye on that.     

I hadn't realised that MicroMillions was running in July, so got a bit side tracked into it.   I managed to play 10 Main Events and cashed 3 times, which I thought was pretty good going.   Overall a lot of fun and made a small return, so can't complain.  

My other MTT and STT results reflect how I feel about my game, in that I'm pretty happy with it at the moment.  I am playing a little more aggressively now, especially in the STT which are often Turbo knockout formats, but seems to suit me for the moment.  This is likely to give more swingy results, but we'll see over time how it works out.

August 2014 Targets

Back to normal this month:
- Play 1600 cash hands on NLHE $0.10 Full Ring (4 table) with target of breaking even
