It has been quite a while

I just noticed that my last blog has been published on December 31st 2013 and thus there was no entry yet for the current year, kind of shocking isn't it? At the start of this year I was quite unsure what may come because besides one live event nothing had been confirmed, so it was not quite an urge to share this on an online blog platform either.

Since then things have changed a little, after the Mega Poker Series Vienna I was in London for business followed by two surprise offers to work in Dublin at the European DeepStack as well as the Tanger Millionaire Maker in Morocco. Only back at home for two days meant exactly enough time to unpack, wash the clothes and then head straight to the next tournament with the European Poker Tour in Vienna until the end of March 2013. Fast forward about a week and I am sitting here to mentally prepare for the next two live events in a row ... .

From April 14th to 20th I will be working at the EPT Sanremo as a trial run for PokerNews and with some luck and my usual "working the ass off" efforts this may result in further opportunities in the future. On April 21st I will be flying back to Nürnberg and one day later I am already heading to Madrid for the start of season 3 of the Mega Poker Series in the Casino Gran Madrid. Even a third live event in a row may have been possible but ultimately didn't work out, it would have been nice but three weeks or reporting with barely any break is also quite tough. Then again this may be something that I gonna face in the summer. ;)

So what is the lesson of the first quarter of 2014 thus far? Somehow I managed to get down to 79 kilos and that is the lowest weight I have had for more than 4 years. The stomach is still not flat at all to keep me grumpy day in day out. I was biking twice and managed to put in more than 80 kilometers in total. And I have a lot to learn about taking pictures with my Canon 5D Mark III.

Let's see what surprises the upcoming months may have to offer ... and I am not referring to the lucky river suckouts at poker because I barely have time to play anyways. Guess I better end this post with a funny cat meme that fits to my current mood:
