Monte Carlo, Monaco. Second biggest poker tournament in the world. Over 700 players pay €10,000 euros ($13,000) to participate. Incredible experience.

Sebastian is having a very good run over the last months and is incredible successfull in poker tournaments (he is a winning cash […]

We arrived in Dortmund yesterday early as we had a lot of media work to do. We meet with friend and co-worker Roy von der Locht who helped us tremendously although it was his birthday. Later then players started to arrive and the last chance satellite saw 238 players trying to get a seat into […]

>> is this blog a dead link? Looks like. I have not posted since exactly a month and truly I’m feeling bad about it. I guess I was (one of) the first german poker bloggers back then in 2004 when I did start this blog. Do I want to dis-continue it? Do I feel tired […]
