First just want to wish all my fewllow Canadians a Happy Canada day! Alight so usually I really like Junes since I am born in June. I actually really enjoyed everything that happened this June that is non poker related because when it came to the poker part in June I sucked huge cock.

It was a bit of an eye opener this month. I was on pace to have the best month that I ahve ever had in poker. I was finally comfortably rolled for 50nl and it was really stress free. I was up around 10bi's or so when mid June hit and then it just went down hill from there. I ended up having the largest downswing I have had to date. At the bottom end it was only 13 BI downer which isnt HUGE by any standards but I am playing a lot higher now and have never lost that kind of money before. I just could not win a hand to save my life. My all in EV was soooo gross.

I really was not sure what was going on. I got a good friend of mine to help me out and do a few sweats with me. I realized that I was really playing so weak/tight robot style and plus I was running terribly so it just felt like I was getting completely owned. After a few sweats Ive really started to turn things around. I can already see a change in my game and the results are starting to show which is great for my confidence right now.

So now it is July 1st. HAPPY CANANDA DAY!!! lol. This month Im going to destroy at the tables and have the best month I have ever had in poker so far! I learned a lot this June and got to see what I was made of. It can only go up from here right? (knock on wood) So this July Im going to do things a bit different then I have been lately and hopefully it helps out my game a lot.

I signed up for this Truely free poker training deal at the start of the month. Basically if you cna earn over 8500 ftp points in a month on FTP they will give you a free month to both Cardrunners and StoxPoker. I reached the goal within the first two days but I had to wait until July started in order to get the Free month. So now that July is here I plan on watching a video everyday before I start grinding and trying out some of the things in my sessions. Im also going to be getting back to the gym. I havent worked out consistently for almost 4 months now and its really pissing me off that Ive slacked so bad. When I stopped working out I was 205 lbs but I went away to school and stopped and now im back down to between 185-190. Makes me sad

Anyways Im going to get back into starting next week and murder the gym as well lol.

Ive made a few goals for the month. Here they are:

- 150k+ Hands
- 30k+ FTP points (I want to get the 21 inch monintor this month. Half way there.)
- 3k+ Cash game earnings without rakeback
- 1k+ Tournament winnings. (1 time plz

Havent shipped a tourney in so long)
- 1k+ in Rakeback earnings
- 100+ Ironman medals
- Go to the gym 5 times a week
- Watch 1 CR or Stox video a day
- Be ready to play 100nl at the end of the month
- Own at life.

All of these are very reachable. Hopefully I can start the month off right!

I hope everyone had a bit of a better month then I did in June lol. Have a great month in July guys, GLGL!. Happy Canada day to all my fellow Canandians! Gonna go watch the HORSE final table.

Cheers.
