The Real German Poker Champion

The Real German Poker Champion is a tournament being organized by 50outs.com and Luckbox.de to determine the "best" player in the German-speaking nations of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The tournament itself is formatted into several heads up matches of 5 games each. Each player is assigned an opponent and they then play 5 heads up tournaments in the following games:

Omaha PL High
Hold'em Fixed Limit
Seven Card Stud
Hold'em No Limit
Omaha High/Low 8 or Better PL

You need to win at least three of the matches in order to advance to the next round. I'm not going to go into too much detail of my strengths or weaknesses, but I think anyone who has read this blog for a while can get a good idea of what I am going to be working on before gametime.

Some big names in the German poker scene have already signed up (a full list can be found here), which should create a pretty interesting tournament. The buy-in is $100, which I will be paying in the next couple days.

One special thing about the tournament is that each player gets to submit a "tag-line" of 100 words or less, which will be posted with that player on all results pages. Anyone have a good idea for a tagline for me? English or German, I don't care. If you have a suggestion, please leave it as a comment in my blog or send me an email at cortkm@berlin.de . The best submission will get a $20 transfer at Pokerstars as a way of me saying thank you!
