Reflect
In the live game, I came agonizingly close to at least cashing.  Down to 5 players (4 cash) and had wild Russian to my left with huge chip lead.  The rest of us were around 10-15 BB and they were all playing incredibly tight.   My aggression was done well enough, but eventually ran into the Russians AA and it was out on the bubble.  Was happy with my play though, so no worries.

On my Pokerstars cash games, I managed more than my target number of hands.   I was pleased to be able to maintain positive results in all games, except the Mobile Zoom.   I somehow managed to play over 1000 hands but lost 8 buy-ins, which shows again why I shouldn't be playing NLO8 on my Mobile :)

The tournament results were a little disappointing.   My MTT results are pretty good and definitely above expectations.  It's the STT games which are dragging my results down as I seem to be in a very lean period for the last few months.  

I'm going to have to rethink my STT strategy as it's not happening for me.   I seem to be doing OK in the 90 man MTT though, so will carry on with this format.

In July the MicroMillions (https://www.pokerstars.uk/poker/tournaments/micro-millions/) will be distracting me :) and will have less time to play due to Bognor trips again.  

July 2014 Targets will be as reduced again due to Bognor trips:
- Play 400 cash hands on NLHE $0.25 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
