In an attempt to increase the blogging ratio after a rather silent year 2014, I shall take a look at the upcoming next few weeks with five live event coverages until the end of February. The highlight of the trip surely the trip to Deauville for the European Poker Tour when it comes to following the progress of some of the biggest names on the circuit.
However, I very much enjoy the smaller festivals as well because you never know what surprise may be waiting. This special mixture along with the different playing style and atmosphere creates challenges out of the ordinary to keep the mind busy. Of course the travel to different destinations is yet another perk of the job, even though the net working hours may be quite the contrary.
Below is my upcoming schedule:
WPT National Cyprus Jan 22-26
Mega Poker Series Vienna Jan 27-31
EPT Deauville Feb 1-7
WPT National London Feb 12-15
Tanger Poker Festival VII Feb 26-Mar 1
Which one am I looking forward to the most? I haven't been to Cyprus yet and can cross off another country on my must-visit list. The Mega Poker Series is my favorite child, as I started reporting from the very first event and also do the (social) media duties and website updates as well.
The European Poker Tour is not only one of the most well known festivals out there but the best-run event with the far-and-away best staff and dealers. Furthermore, I can practice my French and it always comes in handy to practice other languages in order not to get too rusty.
A quick glance at the National Event of the World Poker Tour revealed the accumulator structure, which I first reported on at the WSOP Asia-Pacific last October in Melbourne. The buy-in may be rather small, but the expected aggressive playing style shall make for some very interesting situations at the tables.
Last but not least is the Tanger Poker Festival, which will be my third trip to the north of Morocco. Everyone there is very friendly, they have an excellent free buffet at the casino and I can again take advantage of my French lessons from school.
So that's the first two months of the year covered, unless I suddenly squeeze in another event. Just kidding, obviously.
P.S. I shall take some pictures during the events and make for a proper trip report eventually.
