Some things never change: new year, new madness

Thursday, February 02, 2012 Posted by Unknown , , , , , No comments
So January is done and dusted, the first month of the year and the work schedule has not changed much besides putting one part time job on hold. Well done ... guess it could have been worse. The first two tournament coverages are completed with the WPT Dublin (yay, Ireland done on the list of countries I always wanted to visit) and our own deepstack event at the Montesino Vienna saw a total of 390 players and a prize pool of 273,000 €. Not bad for the first try and the next one is already around the corner.

Along with the day to day work, I also got my schedule until the end of April and I guess, the airlines and the German rail will be happy to have a frequent traveler:

1) European Deepstack Poker Championship 2012

February 7th - 12th 2012 / Dublin, Ireland

2) EPT Copenhagen

February 20th - 25th 2012 / Denmark

3) EPT Madrid

March 12th - 17th 2012 / Spain

4) Mega Poker Series Nottingham

March 27th - April 1st 2012 / United Kingdom

5) Irish Open

April 6th - 9th 2012 / Dublin, Ireland

6) WPT Vienna 

April 10th - 15th 2012 / Montesino, Austria

7) EPT Berlin

April 16th - 21st 2012 / Germany

Besides that I am currently preparing the tournament schedule for Nottingham and take care of the website content, at each of the tournaments I will do the blog coverage as well as take a lot of pictures ... which kinda unveils my newest addiction to the Canon 1100D. Without multi tasking, it would become increasingly difficult to get all those events and the regular work done but sleep is overrated anyways and I am looking forward to see the players, colleagues and friends again when the cards are back in the air.

Last but not least we have the "poker event task force", guess you have to be somewhat crazy to get the job done so might as well reveal the little helpers that will hopefully bring a smile on a few faces:


"Shuffle up and deal!" - Or should I rather say "Travel up and blog"? Game on ...
