Today the Hamburger Morgenpost has posted a full page article about Katja. They planned to publish this for two week now but finally found the spot today. The article is available online also without any images and I have also scanned the page. Katja is still ill and fatiqued from Barcelona and London (she has […]

We’re here in London now for the second stop of the EPT Season III. Katja is playing her „Day1“ today. The event is sold out with 400 players. The premise here is very small and the fact that they took away a corner today (where yesterday have been 10 tables) to setup the final table […]

Since sunday we’re playing strictly at home, WCOOP at PokerStars has taken off. Wednesday will see us traveling to London for the EPT where we are going to stay until Monday morning. Every night where possible we (or at least Katja) is going to play the daily WCOPP event. Let’s hope she has to pass […]

Katja is out, in 89th place out of 480 with 45 ITM. Medium-stacked she overplayed her AJ and ran into AA.

See the german PokerStarsBlog for some details and pictures. I will post more info once the event is over. Other big news today is that […]

WDR televison was in the house yesterday for many long hours, doing a tv show called „A day in the life of Katja Thater“ which is a regular format. Yesterday they did the home story part, today they film in the Casino Schenefeld where the great €700+50 NLH 2-day freezeout tournament (the one with 7000 […]

Addicted reader of my recent „publication“ 50outs on Hold’em Sebastion „Miami“ has made a first success applying the advanced strategies supplied there. He used some of my 100% working and self-tested „1001 begging phrases that really work“ to raise himself some money for the upcoming EPT event in Barcelona :)! Weconic posted a very fitting […]
