Reflect
For the live game, it's back to the normal game at Sovereign in Farnborough, which seems to be the best game around at the moment (and it's closer to home :) )   I had another good run, although had to rebuy once before the break.  In the latter stages always seemed to have around 18 Big Blind stack so it was inevitable perhaps that my aggression on the final table saw me getting it in bad and ending up 7th from 45 runners (with top 5 paying out)  Again a little frustrating but you've got to go with your decisions

Pokerstars cash results took a bit of a down turn.   My NLHE game most of the loss was one bad session on one table, and for PLO cash was one bad session with two tables apart fr omthat was fairly consistant.  Just need to be sure I don't get a bit tilted when get a bad run going.   My NLO8 was again more than I intended to play.  Might need to re-think my Mobile Zoom strategy.  Having said that, I had two bad sessions from four, and in both cases were really 2 or 3 hands per session which accounted for my losses, so could easily have swung the other way if I'd got luckier :) 

For Coral, I had a bad run and managed to dump my Coral Bankroll on Carribean Stud.   Rather than top up and risk getting tempted by the table games again, I decided it was the push I needed to abandon Coral and focus exclusively on Pokerstars going forward now.  

July 2014 Targets

I'm off for a week in July, but otherwise should be a normal month, so my monthly target for July will be (playing Pokerstars only):
- Play 1200 cash hands on NLHE $0.10 Full Ring (4 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 600 cash hands on PLO  $0.10 6-max (2 table) with target of breaking even
- Play 2 sessions of 8 Game cash with target of breaking even
- Play 8 MTT with target of breaking even

Strategic Objectives for 2014
*  Break even on all cash games
*  Play Mobile ZOOM as little as possible
*  Try to play MTT more regularly
*  Commit less to the online festivals
