I played in the $215 EPT shootout to the London event yesterday. I played the same tourney last week and won my 1st table but finished 9th on the final table when I stacked off with AK after some guy limp raised me preflop with AA. I swear anytime somebody limp raises it's AA or KK 95% of the time.
This week I once again won my 1st table. I caught the early chiplead and never really relinquished it until we got to headsup play. I then went completely card dead, never getting anything better preflop and always missing the flop. I eventually got it all in with A4 vs 88 and missed. 1st place was the package and 1k. 2nd place was 1k and nothing else.
I also played in some random 55 rebuy and finished 22nd out of 255 or so people for $355. 1st was 14k, that would've been nice.

August recap
Had another good month of SNG's. Only played 1200 or so but still finished $10k+. Played in 10+ Sunday tournaments and/or major event qualifiers and failed to cash. Very disappointing but small sample size.
Saw the first few episodes of the main event on espn. I made a brief appearance in part 2. It was towards the end of the episode when Jennifer Harmon busted. I was sitting in the 7 seat and had about 10 seconds of face time and an inaudible line. Good times.
Of late I really hate poker. Financially it's been good but I'm not deriving anything else from it. My competitive spirit for it has been diminished. I'm currently searching for a way to reignite it. Live play usually cures this lull I feel every couple of months. Right now I'm targeting the EPT London event. Stars is running satellites that I will continue to play for the next week or so to see if I can luckbox my way into a seat. I might end up flying over there regardless and winning some live satellite for a seat. The event will give me a a good excuse to see England, Germany, and Amsterdam.
