2.5/4, not bad, but nothing to write home about (LP on the other hand...) 
 
July I wanted to aim for some huge volume, but being so new to poker I don't really think I handle running poorly as well as some so I just quit for 5 hours when I have a bad session and I stop for a day or two if I have 4-5 in a row.  This really hurt my volume, but I think it helped my bankroll. I only got in a pathetic 17k hands this month, less than half of what I was shooting for.  Only time will tell if this was standard variance or if I actually ran as poorly as I perceived.  Before this turns into a whine blog, which it shouldn't be.. 
 
I ended up .84BB/100 for the month.  I did well in rakeback and bonuses though, and I earned 1.5BI in the ironman tournament, so I did okay for my bankroll which grew over $500 this month.  I had a coach this month, we've probably spent 12 hours together this month, I feel it has really improved my game. I've felt I was a decent hand reader since I started learning (who doesn't though, LOL), but now I know what to do with that information.  
 
I've got a lot on my plate this month, that's usually when I do best though, so I'm looking to get everything in order so I can crush life. 
 
I know not many people will read this, and even less will care, but I hope everyone who does will run great!

[ ] 4BB/100 
[ ] 30k hands

                            Volume is good but playing every hand perfectly is better.  So is avoiding tilting off your roll!  So don't worry too much about the hands played.

                            sounds good keep it up 
 
although i would say [ ] Have 5 3+ hour 3+ BI sessions is a bad goal to have really. anything this rigid on very short term results could lead to you playing very suboptimally in some spots, (been playing for 5 hours, up 2.5 buyins playing like C game but desperately trying to get to +3 so you can notch off session #3 etc
