PokerNews Cup and 2016 EPT Barcelona Trip Report

In August, I was covering two live events and both pretty much highlighted the difference and uniqueness of rather small tournaments and big festivals, as well as the problems and challenges that come along with it. At the end of the blog entry, I will also include the stats of my fitness watch tracker with regards to steps and kilometers walked while on duty. Now if only I could stop the kilos from going back up while cooking at home ...

PokerNews Cup in Rozvadov

The PokerNews Cup returned to the King's Casino in Rozvadov and the €250 Main Event was scheduled with four starting days, one reentry per flight and a guarantee of whopping €200,000. The last two Day 1s overlapped, which made things a bit more complicated with regards to updates, but ultimately they turned out to have a strong field each and smashed the guarantee by quite some.

With such a rather low buy-in, it's somewhat inevitable that you won't know many players right away. Some familiar faces from other circuits make for a base to start with, and fortunately the casino ensured that all players would go to their tables with a copy of the entry ticket in order to identify them.

By the time the last three tables were reached, all remaining participants were known and that obviously helped a lot for the live reporting. Since only Day 2 and Day 3 were scheduled in order to determine a winner, all Day 1s and Day 2 ran pretty long, but that is nothing uncommon anymore for smaller festivals and one gets used to it. Also, if you missed one elimination there was no big drama about it, while at big events this may become an issue.

The final table played fast and furious at the start, then slowed down a lot as it does often when a live stream is available. Even though the first-place payout of just over €44,000 may not sound much for a professional poker player, it can be quite important for a recreational. No deal was made in heads-up, and the underdog in chips emerged victorious and screamed out his joy after the last hand - that's what poker is and should all be about: Having fun at the table, showing emotions, and not being boring.

Pros:
- Less pressure due to more relaxed atmosphere
- Many participants appreciate the reporting
- Free buffet and soft drinks available to the participants

Cons:
- Big fields with barely any known players
- Players tend to get rid of the media tickets or prefer nicknames
- There really isn't much else one can do in Rozvadov

2016 EPT Barcelona

The stark contrast going from the small festival at a big casino in a middle of nowhere to a big festival spread across two tournament rooms in a big tourist city such as Barcelona was a given right away. The hotel was a good 20-minute walk away from the venue and there were small corner shops open 24/7 every other street. This year I didn't run into any trouble with pickpockets, while some players and dealers did have the misfortune.

One year ago, the festival at the Casino Barcelona already smashed many records in terms of participation, as well as players getting their seats quite delayed as alternates. The latter wasn't as much of a problem this time around, except for maybe the €1,100 Estrellas Main Event. However, it was inevitable not to notice, that the venue was very close to their max capacity and that had some negative impact on the Satellite and cash game waiting lists.

A few days before the start of the festival, PokerStars announced that the Main Events will be paying out the top 20% of the field and the initial €10,000 High Roller paid as much as 23% much to the disguise of many pros. The money in the €1,100 Estrellas Main Event and €2,200 High Roller was reached early on Day 2 and the early starting times of 10am didn't necessarily find much love in general.

Whether or not that trend will continue remains to be seen, as PokerStars and the EPT should have received plenty of feedback from the pros and recreational players alike. They even reverted the payout back to 15% for the €50,000 Super High Roller and the €25,000 Single-Day High Roller, further giving all participants a questionnaire to fill out with regards to their preference. Since those events include the option to reenter, I cannot imagine many votes towards keeping a payout of the top 20%.

For the first time in many years, the EPT Main Event reached the money at the end of Day 2 and a minimum cash ensured a net profit of €330 compared to the buy-in of €5,300. This may or may not keep more players sticking around on the circuit, but only Satellite and online package winners can really be "happy" about that kind of return after putting in quite some effort in the tournament. It was also the first time that I have seen a "lunch break" being introduced for a live poker event, and from a personal point I'd have preferred to have a dinner break instead on those few days when it happened.

There were four major events to be covered, and German wunderkind Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz did what he knows best by winning the initial €50,000 Super High Roller in impressive fashion. Next up, there was the choice between going mental in the huge Day 1b field of the Main Event or eventually pulling an all nighter in the €25,000 Single-Day High Roller the next day. I will likely always opt for the latter, because it helps to know a lot of the players from the years on the live reporting circuit.

As of Day 4 of the Main Event, the reporting teams split up to cover the final €10,000 High Roller as well and especially the restart of the Main Event turned out to be quite hectic. The back-and-forth running at least helped to reach the daily goals on my tracking app, while the final day saw a very long final table of the last seven and 36 players return for the High Roller.

While not all tables were being used anymore, and the new events were played as Turbo anyways, the High Roller took place in the far corner of the main tournament room. Down to the last nine, two other final tables were moved to the tables right nearby and one of them turned out to be very disturbing with a very loud rail during ongoing deal and "who gets to keep the trophy" negotiations. After some 15 minutes, the table was moved away further, while one mistake during that time may have cost €100,000 in equity.

It did have one big advantage though - at least for us live reporters: We could set up nearby for the final day and didn't need to run back and forth to the media room in order to maintain more thorough updates when it matters the most.

All in all, the EPT Barcelona was a crazy and frantic as I remembered from two sears ago. It was nice to see many familiar faces again and catch up briefly while running back to the tables. Except for one day, I was able to work out in the morning before heading to the casino - this should always be a priority of mine whenever possible. And improving my Spanish. Mierda.

2016 EPT Barcelona summary

Number of days: 11 (incl travel days)
Number of steps:140,775
Distance walked: 115.46km
Weight change: -2.0 kilos

What is up next? September will mainly focus on sorting out a few personal things back at home before the WSOP Circuit kicks off at the end of the month in Berlin. And the EPT will be calling again at the end of October on Malta prior to a semi-morning-vacation-ish experience at the WSOP Circuit on Sint Maarten. By then, I shall hopefully have lost a few more kilos and regained a more balanced physical shape - fingers crossed!

The Art and Insanity of Poker Live Reporting

It has become quite common for a lot of poker players to take live reporting at bigger events as a given and then complain about the lack of updates or mistakes in it. There even used to exist a running gag that “bloggers” do this job, because they are not good enough at playing poker themselves. Below I'd like to give my own perspective about what we do as live event reporters and maybe that will change the point of view for some.

For approximately five and a half years, I have been working at live poker events. This somewhat corresponds with my education, as I studied business and languages at a business school in Germany. I may not be able to type with ten fingers, as attempted to bring upon me by my teachers back then, but the project management part fits quite nicely. Furthermore, I actively use all the languages taught, some more and some less frequently, and the business aspect in poker is also quite important.

Now, if I was supposed to explain my teachers what I am doing for a living, many would rise their eye brows and others would simply shrug. Same applies for family members as well. It's a very uncommon kind of job, you cannot really learn the art of poker live reporting in any school. Most of us are actually thrown into cold water and it soon becomes obvious who can adapt quickly and who cannot.

A certain enthusiasm for the card game does come in handy, though, and it also helps to play poker to a certain degree in order to know all the game types, expressions and terms in question. For me, it is important to enjoy the experience and I don't mind the pressure to deliver while coping with often unpredictable scenarios and strange working hours. After all, without the joy and excitement, it would just be work and that appears rather boring.

So what does it take to be a live event reporter and what tasks does one have to deal with? First of all, preparation is the key. It helps to arrive well in time before an event starts and check out the venue, get in touch with local staff and take a closer look at the schedule and structure. Such key details should then be mentioned in the introduction every day. Once the event gets underway, the time has come to look through the field of players and see if you recognize anyone.

Only a few tournaments have in fact a media tracking system in place, many still don't. As a participant in the event, if you are asked for the name or more details, please don't come up with something fake because that seems like a genius idea in that very moment. After all, many poker players also want to be reported on when they are doing well or in case of losing in very unfortunate fashion.

As the day progresses, a live event reporter is expected to update general information such as the number of entries, the prize pool and payouts. This also includes big stacks and, if possible, how they got there, as well as keeping track of players that were previously mentioned within the updates. Towards the end of the day, this becomes increasingly important, as it comes in handy to know who has the most chips.

Most hosts expect a short and precise recap of the daily action and, depending on the number of entries and survivors, the full chip counts and available seat draw going forward. It isn't the time to get witty, as that fits way better to specific tournament highlights, but the recap will ideally be enough to summarize what happened and may even be used as news article.

This sounds rather easy thus far, am I right? Well, there is more to it. The interaction with the participants plays a big role and in most stages of a tournament, it becomes increasingly important to be very selective and time-efficient about what to include in the updates. If there is more than one live event reporter in charge for the coverage, the tasks of getting hands, highlights, quotes and the atmosphere in general can be split up. Apart from the breaks, there won't be much time to relax and check your Facebook for the latest funny pictures without possibly missing some crucial action at the tables.

All that being said, there are a few aspects that make the job in itself very appealing for me personally.

• Completing challenges.
• The interaction with players.
• The opportunity to travel.
• Improving as writer and photographer.
• Making sure I can pay my bills.

Every tournament is a challenge and I tend to be a competitive person. Not everyone is used to shifts of 12-16 hours per day and a poker event can quickly become physically and mentally tiring. Keeping up the balance and focus under such circumstances is exactly that, a challenge. You may work at a location you have never been to before. There are no media cards and you barely know anyone. Take a deep breathe, ask the floor for some notables and take a closer look at all tables.

Be prepared to make yourself look like a fool when asking for a name or other details. And then go with the flow, that's it really. The way you approach the players will determine your success. It usually helps to be friendly and smile, ask in a calm manner. The more you get to know the players, the easier it will be to track them throughout the event and they may very well provide details relevant to the updates. Some of them may even become more than just a source of information, they will greet you at a different tournament and have a friendly chat to reduce the stress level.

Of course it would be foolish not to mention the chance to travel and the excitement that comes along. Back in school, it was already a big thing to travel with your class to London or Paris for a few days. Over the last few years, I was very fortunate to explore far more exotic destinations, for which I am very thankful. There are some empty spots to be filled still, while favorite cities and countries have been established such as Australia and Canada.

As far as the writing is concerned, I am no magician or poet with words like the staff of the PokerStars Blog. But seeing them in action and being able to interact provides the chance to see their point of view, learn and constantly question the own quality. Without practice, it is unlikely to improve after all. I am also no Joe Giron (WSOP and WPT lead photographer) or Neil Stoddart (EPT lead photographer), nor any of the other talented people that take pictures for a living. Again, I have a lot to learn, and the chance to combine and exercise my passions of poker, writing and photography are crucial for the entire experience.

Last but not least, the monetary aspect is also important. While the players in the poker events I cover are not guaranteed to make profit, I more or less know the salary in advance already. Depending on the own performance and impression, it opens further doors and certain bills require to be paid, especially when being self-employed. Some hosts are more reliable than others and it becomes increasingly difficult to get enough work when poker sites and live event operators are trying to cut down their expenses.

If you happen to see a live event reporter or photographer at the next poker tournament you participate in, be nice to him or her. Most of them will even accept kind donations in the form of (healthy) drinks such as coffee, tea, juices or smoothies to feed their inner child.

Time for another Adventure on the Road

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.

So that was the Year 2014

Another 12 months are done and the year 2014 now lies in the past, left behind like an empty cookie jar. There were some delicious treats in it, a lot of disappointments and many ups and downs. Basically, it fits very much to the last few years that brought a lot of uncertainty, surprises and whatnot's. The end could have surely been better though, as I had to go through some legal bullshit in Germany and illness also played a certain role.

This may sound very rich given the interesting opportunities I experienced, but as avid GrumpyCat fan and natural born pessimist the dark side of the mood is far more appealing most of the time. It helps as well to keep the expectations in general rather low and thus lessens the overall disappointment.

By the middle of January I only had one live event guaranteed, everything else was pretty much in the open with the efforts of my usual employer reduced to almost zero. I then received an invitation for Dublin and Tanger to kick off the reporting duties slowly. A return to Morocco was due in September and that was one of the pleasant surprises of the year, as I can practice my French over there and soak in a completely different mentality.

Apart from beating a dead horse part-time, things eventually took a turn for the better during the EPT Vienna when I was covering the Eureka and EPT High Roller events for Pokerfirma. Chad Holloway, one of the PokerNews bloggers and senior writer on the site, suggested to apply for the World Series Of Poker in the summer. I was given a trial run at EPT Sanremo shortly after and snap-called the offer to work my ass off in Las Vegas for six weeks.

A few German bracelets in Sin City provided some additional exposure, but a late and totally unexpected birthday present would be the cherry on top of the cake. PokerNews hired me to cover the World Series Of Poker in Melbourne and I didn't have to think twice before accepting. Australia was always on my list of countries to must visit, hopefully it wasn't the last time either.

I returned to the beautiful island of Sint Maarten for 10 days of work followed by four live events almost in a row in November and December. Pretty much exactly one month on the road with two days back home after two back-to-back coverages left the brain almost empty and the facial expression almost as priceless as the two GrumpyCat plush toys that I received from dear friends. One simply cannot not smile when you see this cat.

Was it a lost year? To a certain degree this may have been the case, as the future is still rather uncertain. I made some progress with regards to taking pictures and several shots were used in print media, one of them in a book and even on the cover of a German poker magazine. It is still a long way to go though and I am painfully aware of the lack of consistency.

The biggest disappointment lies with myself though and that has nothing to do with being hard on yourself. I am eating more healthy and the last drop of alcohol stems from April 2012, but that's not the problem. Nor are the three kilos that I gained either. The laziness and fact I wasn't doing fitness as often and regularly as I could will be one of the crucial goals to improve for the upcoming year 2015. And finding some happiness, as that tends to be sold out on eBay and Amazon.

Ah well, we don't always get what we want.

Finishing off 2014 with Mega Poker Series, MCOP and EPT Prague

After Australia and the Caribbean, I get to work at another three events before the end of the year. Fortunately, the travel is far easier for all destinations but the bigger field sizes will definitely keep me busy:

Mega Poker Series Wiener Neustadt: November 18th - 23rd

Master Classics of Poker Amsterdam: November 25th to 29th

EPT Prague: December 9th to 17th

Once I am done in Austria early on the 24th, a shuttle picks me up and straight to the airport for an early morning flight. This way I arrive in time to take pictures at the MCOP Highroller Day 2 even though that's not part of my work responsibilities yet. But is there any better opportunity to once again get used to the light conditions?

Besides that, there is one further reasons for poker players why they shouldn't miss the event in the Dutch capital:

Exclusive invitation to the Heineken Players Party Dear Pokerfriend, From 21 - 29 November, the 23rd Master Classics of Poker tournament will take place at Holland Casino Amsterdam, the Main European Poker Event! The MCOP opening promises to be just as spectacular as it is every year, with the Celebrity Sit&Go and the exclusive Heineken Players Party. Exclusive opening party The exclusive Heineken Players party will take place on Friday evening, 21 November from 10.30 pm, following the official opening at 10 pm - and will be fully dedicated to our ambassador Jorryt van Hoof. After playing the final of the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and finishing in third place, he’ll be back home in time for this party and the MCOP. We are delighted to invite you to this special and exclusive Heineken Players Party with drinks and snacks at the Lido Club at Holland Casino Amsterdam. We look forward to welcoming you to the Heineken Players Party on 21 November!

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:

Some things never change: new year, new madness

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 ...

EPT Berlin coverage ... and Liv Boeree :)

Well at first I wanted to use "You gotta be kidding me", but that was not due to the fact that I seen her but rather the funny circumstances. We were close to the money in the EPT Berlin Main Event and the 2k side event already started, I sat in the blogger lounge and just had a coffee ... and who comes in? Yes, of course the PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree :)

The bottle of water usually costs 5€ for the players and she wanted to pick one out of the fridge, we bloggers usually get them for free in the lounge and he looked at her and asked if she was a blogger (lol). I was a few meters away and almost laughed my ass off when he wanted to charge her the 5 bucks and didn't know who she was, so I walked over and picked one bottle. The waiter still wanted to charge her but we kinda managed to get away with it, since I actually had my press pass ... a little smalltalk about the following picture on Facebook and "best of luck" for the side event.

 

This picture was a snapshot from our french photographer Hugues Fournaise (copyright @ RiverTells) at the EPT Snowfest a few days ago and I uploaded it on Facebook, since it was a really nice picture. I tagged her and didn't really expect anything, but a few days later I got the notification that she used it as her profile picture :)

One of the reasons why I like my job hehe - and best of luck to Liv Boeree at the 2k side event @ EPT Berlin right now :)

Koen De Visscher and Paco Torres from Team770 also survived Day 2 with 119 left and are both in the money, they will return tomorrow at 12.00 local time when we once again hear "Shuffle up and deal". Today was not as long as Day 1a and Day 1b, time to get some other remaining work done and prepare for Day 3 of the Main Event.

From Vienna to Berlin

Okay, the music title doesn't exactly correspond with the title of the blog and doesn't apply for my trips either, but it actually does for my colleague Manu early next week hehe. A few hours ago I got the confirmation that the media credentials for the EPT Berlin have been approved and that I will have a seat in the press room.

Besides that I also just received my new camera that I ordered last week via ebay - quite funny when you consider where it has been sent from ... yes, you might guess it ... Paris ... lol. So I will be working at the EPT Berlin from April 5th - 11th and am already really looking forward to it and hope that the Team770 will be able to repeat their performance from the last 2 events at the EPT Snowfest and the WPT Vienna.

If you want to read more about the Team770, you can also check out the live event coverage here: Team770 Blog - it is also available in different languages as well. Time to get excited and finish the travel planning ... and organize a schedule for my regular day to day work ... lol.

Cheers.

Vienna is calling ...

 The picture above is one of the reasons why I have not been as active as I used to and also won’t be as active in the near future either. I already mentioned earlier that I picked up a part time job and got offered the opportunity to do some live event coverage for Poker770 (an iPoker skin) as well. In the past few days and also today and tomorrow, I am posting online updates from the EPT Snowfest at Saalbach / Hinterglemm since it was too short of a notice to travel to Austria.

Instead, I will be travelling to Austria early on Saturday to cover the WPT Vienna and Team770, I got full media credentials and gonna report directly from the Montesino casino – it is a 4 day event and the final table will be played on March 29^th, thus I will travel back home on Wednesday March 30^th. It is actually the first time that I will cover such a live event (private games don’t count, after all this is a WPT event) and I am really looking forward to it. 

I will have the opportunity to meet up with some friends at Vienna and will also see those familiar faces that you usually just see on TV and take photos … can’t wait to see Liv Boeree in action hehe. Two of the Team770 members also cashed at the EPT Snowfest and Cynthia Foresti finished 64^th, whilst Koen De Visscher will be fighting today on Day 4 to earn his seat at the final table tomorrow. He currently starts into the last 24 as 8^th in chip count.

 Cynthia Foresti, Team770 Pro (SUI)

Koen De Visscher, Team770 Pro (BEL)

If you want to see the updates and pictures, you can head over to the Team770 Blog and check the pictures, it is also available in different languages as well and a colleague from Belgium is covering the English part. In fact it means that I am working 12-14h per day (especially towards month end on Pokerspace as well), this might seem like a torture for some but I appreciate the opportunity and enjoy my work. 

The next stop will be the EPT Berlin early in April 2011 and from there we’ll see, I am also still writing one article for the GX Poker Magazine  and check an existing translation for a poker website as well. It can be a bit frustrating that I barely got time to play poker anymore and I just play some Omaha (Hi and Hi Lo) or Seven Card Stud or HU SNG, but it was way too tempting to pass on this opportunity.
