Reflect
My SCOOP experiences are already documented at http://sceaga.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/poker-scoop-2016-results.html so won't dwell on that.   My EPT adventures are slightly unbelievable, I have for a long time wanted to play the EPT in Barcelona in particular.   I've been playing the satellites but have been cashing out if I get through.   Last night, the sat finished after the $550 event started, so I had to play it !   After 5 and a half hours, I was in the money and 2nd of 5 players left with 4 seats to win.  Sadly I realised I couldn't make the August dates of the EPT event, as seemed unclear if I could cash out (which in the end I found out I couldn't) so decided to "throw" the game to win the 1050.00 Euros.   However you look at it, my results this month (3 cashes) have been spectacular.  The fact it was all completely pointless as I couldn't play the main event is a bit daft, perhaps also reflecting my view of my chances of winning a seat :)    Might try for the EPT Malta in October though, I can definitely play that week ;)

June 2016 Targets will be:
- Play 3 session of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 10 STT with target of breaking even

Strategic Objectives for 2016
*  Work more on my game to be able to break even on all cash games
*  Commit only to the TCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
*  Only try EPTs when have got previous months profits
