Official JULY thread: General Discussion, Goals, Winrates, etc

[AJFenix]

New month, same plan. Hope you had a good June. For those who inevitably didn't, maybe variance will swing your way in July. Feel free to post the following within this thread:

Winrates
Goals
Best players/how others are doing
Personal stats
Coaching requests
Anything going on within the MSNL community
Any hands you want to share that you aren't really looking for strat advice on
Other general discussion that doesn't require its own thread

Keep in mind there is a special forum for Beats, Brags, and Variance. Some of it will inevitably end up in here, but just keep that in mind.

Goal For July
Play perfect Poker

I need a coach. 35k hands of break-even poker in June at NL200 has really shatterred my confidence.

I have been considering starting to coach.

I have no prior experience doing so, and haven't yet decided on things such as methods and rates.

I will post here if I decide to do it.

July Goals:

London
Dublin
Brussels
Amsterdam
Berlin
Munich
Rome
Florence
Madrid

Leaving on the 7th, will be in Europe backpacking around (with my friend Dave, 'TheFunkyLlama' from the mid-high short limit forums on 2+2) until the 31st. Should be amazing, obviously. Any advice, recommendations, or warnings (hopefully more of the former and less of the latter) would be welcome.

Any poker I play before I leave or while i'm there is just a bonus, I reckon.

Get a pouch that will strap to your belt and tuck over onto the inside of your pants and keep your money, credit cards, and passport in there. You'll have a better time if you don't carry around anything that you can't afford to lose. Keep that kind of stuff in a locker at the train station when you go out.

You going to be in Germany for the finals? I'd plan the beginning of my trip around that even if I wasn't a soccer fan. God I can't wait to go back. Backpack Europe is #1 on my list of things to do next year.

edit: The only thing you'll regret about planning the beginning of your trip around the world cup is that the rest of the trip will seem less significant than if you had skipped the world cup.

July Goal:
Quit my job! (alredy put in my 2 weeks notice)
Make $15K
Play 50K hands.

Placed order yesterday for new loaded Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop and 24" monitor!

[Percula]

8ptBB/100 at 2/4 6m with 10K played.

[Triumph36]

I hope to make $10,000 this month, or I'm finding a real job. I've made $8K the last two months which is an absolute joke - two -10K downswings have killed my profits.

I also have to do better with controlling tilt during horrendous runs and sessions - usually if I look back on an awful session, I dump at least one buy-in due to tilt - that has to stop. I don't tilt wildly but I do make calls or plays that I wouldn't otherwise.
