So last entry was the night after I won the main event seat. Spirits very high we all looked forward to a day off poker, (not that we'd earned one) and I was very much looking forward to playing the main event.

I wasn't going to unless I won a seat, and even though I knew I just couldn't justify the huge expense, and didn't really want to play for less than half of myself, I would've definitely felt like I was missing a big opportunity by skipping it.

So winning the seat was pretty huge for morale.

The day off was spent with lots of this:

And in the evening we took Beth's recommendation again for a restaurant and ate at Sensi Tapas, which was absolutely incredible. Probably one of the top 5 meals I've ever had. I do love Tapas a lot, but every dish was just awesome. The menu was so good, we just wanted to order three of everything!

The main event wasn't great. I've played 3 EPTs before this and always got to 100k and always made day 2, and always felt like they were incredible value.

I either ran really well with tables in the other three, or ran bad in this one (probably a bit of both) but I unfortunately had tough tables both days.

At one point my table on day one had Kevin Macphee, Joentausta (sp) (sick finnish reg), Ivan Demidov, two solid team pros, a romanian ps pro and a vgood scandi who i didn't know.

Day two table had Per Linde and other who just knew how to play well.

Pretty much nothing I could've done with any of the pots I lost, just a really boring tournament really, another level 12 bust out, no cash, and 2 days and 15 hours+ of play for nothing. Disappointed.

Can't say I enjoyed it either this time. Falling out of love with the game maybe? I don't know. I know I'm super motivated to grind online this month. I'm just pretty sick of playing 15 hours in a tournament and then busting, over and over again.

While I was grinding the tournament, the guys were making sure to keep me updated with what they were doing.

MARV.

Anyway, walking out of the casino and being just instantly on the beach, in the sun with tons of cool things to do made getting over it pretty easy.

We had one more day in Barcelona, and Victoria and I spent it visiting a couple of places we hand't seen yet - mainly Park Guell-

To summarise, the trip overall was probably the best of the year so far. The combination of Florence with Victoria, Tuscany with her and my Dad etc, then Barcelona with the boys and an EPT - definitely tops Vegas and the San Remo/Monte Carlo trip that was up there. Barcelona definitely cements itself as my number 1 city in the world.

Looking forward, got two big online festivals starting on Sunday, WCOOP and Winamax Series. Looking to prop bet anyone for winaseries, really motivated to grind every day, and play every event, and try and have a big score. Got home at 6pm today and was grinding online by 630, something I never would've done a few months ago - really feel something big coming this month.

Gonna try and break 200 hours for the month too after a lazy August - think my previous record is 196 hours in a month, so gonna try and beat that.

I've said this before, but it's just so cool to come home from a trip like that and have things at home you can't wait to do, and still be really looking forward to doing my "job" in a different capacity, trading Sun, Sea and Sand for Rain, Clouds and Nottingham - but still absolutely loving it.

 You look so hot in this picture.

 Probably because your shorts are as short as mine?

Probs just most £ cashed over the series, but open to suggestions, never done this before. Just wanna do something that motivates me more to grind all the smaller stuff really hard.

Fired 2 unsuccessful bullets at the deepstack so far, might be getting on for 20 live tournaments without a cash now Shocked Tanking a 3rd bullet today.

Big push this month online and hopefully get the year back on track, had two bowl months July and August so looking to turn that around.
