Schedule

As far as online poker goes, I have been 8-tabling the $114 turbos at Pokerstars lately with some success. Also, I came in 168th place in the Sunday Pokerstars Million which was good for $1453. Other than that, I have been keeping on the down-low and planning out some other poker trips over the next few months.

It starts off right here in Berlin, where the Deutsche Meisterschaften are being played from the 16th - 18th of November. I have the first starting day, meaning Thursday the 16th. If I do not make it to Day 2, then Sutti and I will be flying on the very next (17th) day to Ireland for the Dublin All-Star Challenge. If I do make it to Day 2, then we will be flying two days later (on the 19th).

I don't think I will be playing the Main Event in Ireland, but I do plan on playing some cash games while we are there. The main reason for the trip is to meet someone who we have been trying to meet for quite some time but our paths never had crossed. We will fly back on the 19th or 20th.

On December 2nd and 3rd, Casino Schenefeld is hosting another "Deep Stack" tournament (they are calling it a "Santa Claus" tournament), which I knew I couldn't miss. The buy-in this time is €500+40 with 5k in starting chips, allowing for much play throughout the tournament. I came really close to the money last time and would like nothing more than to get my revenge this time around. I already called to reserve my spot and will be sending them the money right away. Because it is limited to just 70 players, I would recommend that anyone who wants to play hurry up with the registration as well.

On December 17th, I'll be flying back to Kansas City to be with my family for Christmas. Shortly after Xmas we'll be flying over to Utah for a few days to do some skiing. In the very beginning of January we will also travel over to California to be with more of my family (most of my family originates from California).

Then comes the big one. The 12th of January. The day that begins our 19-day adventure in Las Vegas! We will be staying in the Excalibur Hotel getting their "poker room discount", meaning we will need to accumulate 5 hours of total play a day there. That certainly won't be a problem. For the first week, Olli will be there with us. Several people have expressed interest in coming with us as well, but so far no one has confirmed. All I know is that I'm going to have the time of my life and hopefully not get burned out mentally of poker or, even worse, financially because of poker.

That pretty much wraps up the next few months for me. There are gonna be some exciting times and I hope to keep the blog updated with stories and pictures as I go. Stay tuned!
