Reflect
Sigh, my cash results were fantastic - all except 2 sessions of NLHE where I dropped $100 in each session.   I haven't reviewed all the hands yet, but will need to analyse why as I cannot sustain those kinds of losses.   I've already decided to drop down to $0.10 again, due to bankroll considerations.   My 8-Game (with my new management software - fpdb http://fpdb.wikidot.com/
) PLO and even my NLO8 were all positive results with no huge clangers dropped.  

On the tournaments, I've already blogged about my MicroMillions adventure ( http://sceaga.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/pokerstars-micromillions-2015results.html ) so won't repeat here.   My STT results are still pretty poor.  I do enjoy the STT games and generally feel I'm playing OK, but just don't seem to be able to get into the money!   Don't ask about the EPT Barcelona :) it was just a minor indulgence.  The 90 seat STT still seem to be a rich vein of results for me, although obviously a tiny sample size.   Don't seem so lucky in the 45 seat MTTs.   I also managed to play one of the Daily 8-Game tournaments, which I wasn't aware of before.  Might try to play a few more of these, as it's still probably my favourite game.

August and September will both be a little irregular, due to visits to Bognor, but hope to still get a fair few sessions in.   Of course, WCOOP sats are already running :)

August 2014 Targets will be as reduced standard:
- Play 400 cash hands on NLHE $0.10 Full Ring (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 400 cash hands on PLO  $0.25 6-max (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 1 session of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 4 MTT with target of breaking even

Strategic Objectives for 2015
*  Work more on my game to be able to break even on NLHE and PLO cash games
*  Don't play Mobile ZOOM
*  Try to play MTT more regularly
*  Commit only to the SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
*  Only try EPTs when have got previous months profits
