Update

I know its been a while since I last updated you guys, but not without good reason. I have been on vacation in Europe for the past few weeks, and will be for
a few more, let me explain my trip thus far.

June 26th - I left my home in Las Vegas heading for the airport. I flew from LAs Vegas to Minnepolis to Raleigh NC, where I will be for the next 10 days
before my trip to europe. I booked the flight last minute, and it was only like a $300 dollar diference between first class and economy, so i said why not
and went for the first class flight. The flight was long and boring but I got to Raleigh to hang out with my friend Chris, who went to EUrope with me.

*Poker Content* - For the nxt 10 days I startd playing a bunch of heads up trying to learn the game better. I beat 1/2 4 tabling for 12ptb/100 over like 10k
hands for an hourly of almost $300, obviously sustainable. Over the last couple days i tried to take shots at 2/4 and 3/6 but just couldnt get games going.
I think I madeilke 1800 in like 200 hands or something, obviously even more sustainable.

Also, As many of you probably know, I recently joined Cardrunners as a guest pro. I actually am the CR Spotlight, and I have an interview up on the front
that you can read if you are a member. Feels pretty cool to be asked to join something like CR and hopefully I can bring good content for a wide range of
viewers. My first video i had a sound issue but with a new mic it should be alright. Yeah its a micro fr video, but you have to beat every level to move up
and for some people that is important.

I also became a mod in BBV on the 2+2 poker forums. Pretty happy about that and glad to be able to help out.

July 6th - We board our flight to Toronto, and then to London.

July 7th - We arrive in London and make our way to Ace Hotel for 2 nights.

Night of July 8th - We get absolutely incredibly owned. Chris and I head out to a local bar in West Kensington for some beers and then plan on going into
London for the night. We decide to wait until after midnight so we can buy a day pass for an entire 24 hours. Well we probably have about 4 pints each and
then buy the pass. The train brings us over a couple of stops and then decides to break down. So we get off, and look for some food while we assume its
being repaired. Well we eat and come back, only to find out that it has now shut down, and we have to just walk back to the hotel and go to sleep. Sweet.

July 9th - We take a train to somwhere near ipswich and then take an overnight ferry across over to the netherlands. Was actaully a really nice ship and got
some good sleep there.

July 10th - We take a train to Brussels, I forgt the name of the hostel we stayed in. Brussels was fairly dull and we didnt do too much during our stay here.

JUly 13th - We leave Brusels for Amsterdam, and arrive to stay at the BullDog in the Red Light District. Amsterdam is pretty crazy, pretty much always open and lots
to do. However i didnt take part in the typical amsterdam experience, and did more drinking and pokering.

*Poker Content* - For a couple days in Amsterdam my friend and I went to the Casino of HOlland where we played in a 5/5 euro game. I staked him for 2/3 his
winings, and played all on my own money deep for ~1000 euros (Or about 25,000 USD). After 2 nights I won a total of 350 euros, but was happy to get a chance to
play some poker. I also met a guy at the casino who was a 2+2 member, he made a thread in BBV4L called like "OMG I REALLY MET HIM" or something like that, with
a picture of me at the casino. Seemed like a pretty cool guy.

July 14th - By pure coincidence, we had some friends from UNCW going on a trip through europe on almost the same days as us, and we decided to meet up. was cool
to see some more people and have a bigger group of people and exchange stories so far and etc. Apparently the other group had an awesome train ride where
someone decide to kill themselves my throwing themself at the front of their train. They were succesful. Sweet.

July 15th - We meet up with a bunch of people at the hostel and eventually go out to some bars with some swedish kids. One of them totally owned this english
guy but didnt even realize it until we told him, conversation goes like this.

(English Guy who looks fucking unbelievably like Harry Potter walks near us)

Swedish guy - "Wow You Really Look like someone, Hm i jst cant remember who it is. uhh.."

English guy - "Harry Potter"(Sounds really British)

Swedish guy - "nono uh, hm, uh..."

English guy - "Harry Potter"

Swedish guy - "No, ah! Boy Cheerleader, uhh like a boy man cheerleader, uh"

(guy walks away)(Apparently the swedish guy meant a conductor or something)

And RIGHT as this ends, some random person throws up all over the floor like 3 feet away from us.

!Annoyed! - Somewhere in Europe i lost my 8 megapixel Sony Cybershot camera I purchased before my trip. Sweet!

July 17th - We Leave Amsterdam to go to Berlin. We stayed at the Heart of Gold Hostel in Berlin. Was cheap and very clean, pretty solid place to stay. Berlin
was sort of boring as well but we only had two nights booked here and we didnt get in until 8 pm the first night, and the second day laundry reached critical
condition so we spent a few hours doing laundry and trying to meet some people. My friend got into an argument wiht this kid about whether Leathel Weapon
had Danny Glover or Denzel Washington. My friend was totaly sure it was Danny GLover, English kid Denzel Washington. They bet drinks and food on it for everyone
if you lost. English kid paid for drinks and food.

July 19th - We head to Munich, and stay at the Wombat. We get to the trai station, and decide to try and find something to eat, we leave the train station, and
one of the first buildings we see is the Wombat. Sweet. And even beter, our friends from UNCW are staying at he Jauger, which was the hostel next to us. Our
friends were having the most failboat trip ever.

Airport lost one of their bags when they flew in.
They booked a hostel for the wrong days and had to spend a night in the most ghetto hostel ever, with 4 beds or 5 people and they drew straws for who gets
the floor.
Their prior hostel was a giant gymnasium that costed about 8 euros a night.
Someone got a shoe stolen there and someone pissed themseleves on thegym floor and passed out.
They got absolutely PWNED atthe money exchange. Apparently they went to change money, and 3 of them were confronted by this guy who said he would give them a
better rate. Well they had about $150 usd in pounds, and the thought they were getting about $140 usd in czech money. Unfortunately, they guy gave them two
bils, a 100 czech money bill and a 2000 budapest money bill. Go look it up to see how bad they got owned.

However the craziest thing happened with one of them and my friend. We went on a pub crawl (which, as all of europe has been, as a major sausage fest), and
they got lost from the group at Hoffberohous. Well they took someones directions to where the clubs were, and it was a broken down factory area. They ran into a few girls, who asked them if they wanted to go to some clubs. They said sure and followed them. Well the area started getting darker and darker, and there were train tracks with a lot of links missing. Well finally, they start to go towards the steps leading into an abandoned factory. My friend said he felt his
heart drop, and he was not going to go in the factory. Well luckily, they just pulld up to the stairs, and started doing speed off the stairs. The kid from the other group said to my friend "Oh Sweet they have speed here" (sounding excited but hes being sarcastic.)
Then the police
showed up but one of them distracted the police by saying a man exposed themself to her so they went off looking for that suspect.

July 21st - We take an overnight train to Rome. HOly bajesus, it is fucking packed in there. I dont think you can understand if you havent been in one, its
absolutely ridiculous.

July 22nd - We stayed wih some of my friends family in FIanno Romano, was a nice atmosphere and very friendly.

July 27th - I am on the train from Rome to florence typng this. Hopefully I will do another couple updates for you guys, I hate to leave you hanging. Also I am
selling action in my play of EPT Barcelona, so if you want any pm me on 2+2 and we can work it out.
