Reflect
I didn't have great results in my cash this month.  Sadly this has decimated my bankroll, so will need to drop right down and start working my way back up again.   Overall, my PLO is still pretty good over the year (loss of $10) compared to my NLHE which is terrible over the longer term (loss $256)  In fairness, my July results are what screwed everything up....

My tournament results have been a little better.   Although still having an overall loss, I managed to cash at or better than average which is a good sign.  

September will probably need to be re-evaluating my NLHE game to see if I need to make any changes, possibly abandoning NLHE cash for a while in favour of focusing on my Tournament game.  Sadly I will need to abandon any hope of playing WCOOP this year, as just don't have the bankroll for the satellites

September 2014 Targets will be as reduced standard:
- Play 400 cash hands on NLHE $0.05 Full Ring (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 400 cash hands on PLO  $0.05 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
