Hello guys,<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
I know i haven't written a singe damn thing for qiute a while now, but i was ultra busy trying to end university and stuff. There was also a ton of poker going on, visiting some EPT venues, analysing my game and trying to master NL Zoom cash. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thankfully 2013 ended on the + side for both sngs and tournaments</div>

<div>
Unfortunatelly 2014 is not that kind as i am about 7k$ down, with 600k vpp being the plus side.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was lucky enough though to hit the jackpot millestone sng which was a 100$ 18-man.<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I know i haven't been posting lately but i was very busy playing live as i was for almost a month in Spain for the Estrellas event in Valencia, the WPT and last the GSOP...So...as you can understand i gave 0 VPP and then i had to run,in order to return at some decent SNE pace again(which is extremely difficult with so many reg infested games...)<br />
<br />
I have been running good after i returned but this is another upswing i guess...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I also had success at the SCOOP event as i got paid in the 1050$ turbo of the last day for 5.1k$ and managed to overcome a filed of almost 18k people to make a 4-way deal at the 11$ turbo for 23.6k$. For the record, i only played 4 SCOOP events all of them were turbo of course... <br />

That's all for now, next update after the summer vacation.<br />

<br />
Have a good time till then and plenty of luck at the tables!! <br />

<br />
I am really sorry for not posting all the time, but i have been really busy playing online...<br />
<br />
I have reached 120k VPP by now, i know that is not really great, but i was playing a lot of tournamets too(aka no rake :P )<br />
<br />
I won a 25$ hyper turbo tournament for 3.1k$<br />

<br />
<br />
Also i cashed in the 2.1k$ highroller event of the TCOOP series for 5.9k$ which was very sweet!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl1t6OXKLPg7jhJm_XUVOkIPxUG9wZFq6-dMMBm1mZ-f9646cLq_6uKbF4wc29Hn4693vzM36eq_K8zcqZR48lzv0ccap6nSzloI5UdNK0zsNANpVN-RQpgeo-XAtMj6dojcn7A_UuvRs/s1600/2100$.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl1t6OXKLPg7jhJm_XUVOkIPxUG9wZFq6-dMMBm1mZ-f9646cLq_6uKbF4wc29Hn4693vzM36eq_K8zcqZR48lzv0ccap6nSzloI5UdNK0zsNANpVN-RQpgeo-XAtMj6dojcn7A_UuvRs/s640/2100$.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The most important thing that happened though,was the package for EPT London that i won through steps. The event will take place at <a href="http://www.grosvenorvictoriacasino.com/" rel="external" target="_blank">Grosvenor Victoria Casino</a> 10-16 of March, so i need to focus more on online now as i will have a week off there :P I am really excited as i have never been to London and this time i visit for the EPT!! Yeiiiii!!!<br />
<br />
I also did manage to take a seat at the Greek Poker Cup in Loutraki,a 660<span class="st">€ tournament with 400cap which is amazingly already sold out!So good luck to me i guess :P</span><br />

<br />
December was also a success in online poker. I reached the 1M VPPs( <a href="http://www.pokerstars.eu/vip/earn/#HowdoIearnVPPs">VIP Player Points<b> </b></a><b> </b>) needed to become a Supernova Elite in Pokerstars for the 2nd consecutive year.<br />
<br />
A tough year with many ups and downs as my graph shows :<br />

<br />
Enough though with 2012, as the new year began already and it's time to <b>Grind</b> again!!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
A little behind of pace, but i needed some time to relax, review and have some quality time with my family.<br />
<br />
I will keep updating my VPP count and winnings throughout the year.<br />
<br />
The motive for a 3rd time SNE is there!! Only 12 months to go!!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Few days before 2013 kicked in, i attended a local 550 € tournament in Loutraki Casino( the one, EPT took place here in Greece). The field was a little above 200 players, almost playing a 180-man sng :P I was chip leader most of the time and had a massive difference from the second when we were 5-handed. I ended up shipping the tournament, which was my first ever live win. After a 3way deal i took 24k €(instead of 28k € first place would originally take) . Sure an amazing thing to happen as i was already in pace for reaching the Supernova Elite for the second time in a row!!!Yeiiii!!!</div>
