monthly report

Overall im happy with my august results i only managed 10k hands but i wasnt here for the first week so aim for 20k next month. Trying to balance putting in more volume and only playing when i feel like it is going to be the hardest bit. Im floundering below $7k still so yet to take a shot at 200nl being close to a target seems to make me become complacent and phrases like "i only need another $100" appear, being so close then losing a buyin seems to tilt me aswell.

My book that i ordered from ful tilt came "tournament poker for advanced players" im only 50 pages in, havent been impressed so far seems like the same point is being said over and over again hopefully there will be more substance further in.

Im getting more and more passive post flop recently with my c bet% comming down to 57% this past week ive picked out a couple of hands to demonstrate my new passiveness where i got the maximum against their hand but think im losing a lot of value against their ranges.
