EPT Berlin

I am currently in Berlin, Germany for the latest stop on the EPT series.  I have managed to make the money of the tournament (7.5k Euro) and have 100k in chips (190k avg) going into day 3.  I played well and aggressive all day  but ran QQ into KK for a monster pot before the days end, knocking me to the brink of elimination.  I will need to play well today and have some luck in order to advance to day 4.

Overall Berlin has been really fun so far and the Pokerstars hotel and casino have been first class.  I have been hanging out with some good friends that I've made at previous tournaments.  Dibasio, Mtvdeuem, Piggybank, Trader, Berndsen are all here so theres a good bit of HUSNG regs.  I wont be able to play the Heads-up event today because I still have a few chips left in the main, but I'm hoping one of our fellow regs can take it down.

So far I haven't got to experience much of Berlin nightlife because of the tournament, but we plan to go out to the clubs in the next coming days, should be a lot of fun.  I hit a massive downswing on Full Tilt, but at 2ks down  its more controllable.  I'm still avoiding 5ks like the plague, and my swings/stress have been so much lower which is nice, although 30k swings are still easy to come by.  I'm going to focus on rebuilding on both sites as soon as the EPT is over.  I haven't decided whether I'm going to stay in Europe for San Remo and Madrid of go home and come back.  Its tempting to stay, but it seems like its going to take a toll on me to stay in Europe for that long.  I'm more tempted to stay now because I've fallen in love with live tournaments, and would like to play San Remo.  Shander and Bas were nice enough to invite me to Amsterdam, and I have some other invitations to stay at various places here.  I guess it will be a game time decision.

I will post pictures of Berlin soon...hope you enjoy the blog.
