Poker: Financial results for May 2019

Plan
Monthly target was:
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 10 STT with target of breaking even

Monitor
Overall results for the month:-

Pokerstars  :  -$ 272.38
Live play   :  -£  0.00

Pokerstars results break down as follows:

Cash results       (-$ 126.64)
PLO Zoom     ($0.25)  132 hands   -$ 115.23
PLO Zoom     ($0.02)   51 hands   -$   2.79
PLO          ($0.05)  102 hands   -$   8.62

Tournament Results (-$ 145.74)
STT  (-$ 86.17)
24x  Holdem S'n'G (3 seat)  -$  19.00 (9 cashes)
  7x  Holdem       (9 seat)  -$  24.67 (1 cash)
  2x  Max Spin'n'Go          +$   2.50 (1 cash)
  2x  SCOOP satellites       -$  45.00
MTT  (-$ 59.57)
  3x  MTT                -$  11.32
  5x  SCOOP Main events  +$  23.25
  11x SCOOP satellites   -$  71.50

Reflect
My SCOOP campaign wasn't actually as bad as it seems.   I managed to win my way into 2 high value tournaments and one lower value one, which would have cost much more than the $116.50 I spent trying to win my way in.  Sadly my actual results for all the main events was not really all that close to the money.  I did get to play for a total of 143 hours for my money and played 2 8-Game tourneys which is my favorite game (I did best in the first 8-Game tourney I played)   

Other than SCOOP, I didn't play all that much.  I decided to try a couple of sessions at higher levels of PLO cash, but that didn't work out as I hoped either.  I dropped a total of 10 buyins which isn't too bad for a small sample maybe, but don't have the bankroll to keep playing at the higher level.   For June, I will focus more on the 8-Game as my main cash game
 
June 2019 objectives:
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 10 STT with target of breaking even

Strategic Objectives for 2019
*  Get back to a more regular schedule of playing
*  Commit only to the TCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions online festivals
*  Only try Pokerstars Championship/EPT when have got previous months profits

NOTE:
For the months of February through May this year, I'm donating 50% of any Poker profits to Clare White who is fundraising for her charity https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/clare-white32 but sadly, no extra cash this month either...

I've been trying to play more but is more tricky these days.  Did manage a good run on the 9 seat STT, but the other areas let me down.  There is a danger for May in that it's the SCOOP, although I'm on holiday for the first week...
