Deutsches Sportfernsehen („DSF“) started airing the Poker Nations Cup yesterday (30.8.). Commenting was done by german top pro Michael Keiner (not by Katja for obvious reasons ;). As I have written before, the production itself is top class. You see some amazing plays by some of the worlds best known players. I still won’t spoil […]

Katja was playing some $100/200 on PokerStars yesterday. "Some" means about 1600 hands, both 6-max and full ring within a 12 hours session (single tabling only). We did this after a really good run at $30/60 where she made some serious money. We spend the whole time together, talking about hands an decisions. This is […]

Today the first german poker magazine is for sale on shelves all across German-speaking countries. We had a printed version in our hand already on Monday when we had a meeting with editor in charge, Michael Dombrowsky. He proudly presented us the finished version which is very good. Much better and higher quality than expected. […]

Some credits for this idea go to Florian and Sebastian who made me laugh so hard yesterday. Thanks boys!

PokerStars has finally found the time to update their website. Now Katja got her picture and bio online on the Team PokerStars webpage. There will be special page on the german website very soon also. That was about time as we already received a lot of disbelieving/doubting/questioning mails why she wasn’t listed there. Thats a […]

Since we came back we started to play local tournaments right away. Arriving saturday morning from a long trip did not keep us from playing saturday night 😉 Katja and I played four local tournaments since then, three for €210 in Casino Schenefeld with 30+ people (frequently sold out these day now) and one for […]

I get link requests very often. This site has daily visitors in the thousands now (on good days) and everybody wants a piece. As I am a lazy person or was it from what I remember as I have not been real lazy since 20 years now, anyway, I often forget to put up links […]

We had planned to spend a day in New York on our way home and so we did. We arrived in Newark early Friday morning at about 7 AM and wen’t to Manhatten were we arrived at about 8 AM. Still a little exhausted from the flight/short night we picked a sightseeing bus right at […]

Today Katja got initiated to Team PokerStars at a media event at the Rio’s. Now we got to hurry, heading for a dinner with the Team and the PokerStars people. We will got to the airport right from there, heading home 🙁

No words. Except that if Katja or I would have made this play he would have hit a K or a J or a straight or a club flush. This is how things have been running for us – a 59% vs. 41% situation is just not good enough for us, in fact even 80% […]

Katja just got busted out of the main event. Although she was in a „good mood“ for tournament by being angry in the morning for no obvious reason (see PokerStars blog interview here) she could not get an action guy away from his top pair/top kicker with her top pair/medium kicker on very scary board […]
