[ #allin4ukraine ] Thank you, Poker Belgique!

20/12/2022

ENGLISH

On 16th December, I traveled from Slovakia to Belgium for an #allin4ukraine charity Poker event we put in place together with Poker Belgique's Leandro Gaone and it's time to say a big thank you to the Soignies Poker community.

103 entries came together for a prize pool of more than 4k Eur and nice night of playing cards. 400 Eur have been donated by Poker Belgique and an additional 177 Eur have been collected among the players who attended.

This is awesome!

[ #allin4ukraine ] First Boot Camp in the Books

4/12/2022

It's been a rough Poker grind in Madrid and Bratislava over the last weeks! Matija Sinković from Croatia was the first player to join me for this #pokersolidarity idea. He's one of the most hardcore grinders of the Banco Poker room and and great company with a big heart on top of it, so it was a pleasure to have him on board for this first boot camp in the Slovak capital.

11 Nov - 3 Dec 2022

171.5 hours of cash games & 15 tournaments

[ Poker in Slovakia ] Back in Bratislava

18/11/2022

No poker last night in Bratislava.

I made my way from Madrid to Vienna and Bratislava yesterday. I was intending to visit the Baden CAPT but plans changed and you can follow our PokerFirma coverage online.

Banco Casino was closed yesterday on the 17th November. That's ultra rare. The place is usually open around the clock almost all year long but no worries, there are two great one-day events this weekend :-)

However, when the presidential palace takes on the colours of the Slovak flag, something bigger is usually going on.

Denis and Dominik will be in charge of the festival coverage throughout the weekend on the Banco Casino Bratislava website and an archive of my photos is available in my PHOTO section.

Beat the Rake in Madrid

4/11/2022

While the Spanish Poker Festival [ SPF ] Donosti is under way, only two stops remain on the SPF circuit for 2022: Rozvadov and Madrid.

Late 2022 Poker Trips to Bratislava

3/11/2022

I'm going to spend some time in Bratislava over these coming weeks and I'll be playing and shooting at Banco Casino so I've updated the map of places I like in the Slovak capital. Together with PokerFirma.com, we are working an a dedicated website including resources for traveling Poker players. This map is sort of the first taste of it. The project is ambitious and will feature tips, photos and descriptions of things to do or places we like in cities where we enjoy to play Poker. It's supposed to eventually function as a guide for Poker trips.

All details can be found below and you can stay tuned via the POKER TRIPS section for more #allineverywhere. Another major Poker event is coming up under my ROMANIA tag in February 2023. The Vamos Poker Tour will be off to Bucharest for its second leg.

[ Bratislava ] Winter is coming - the Poles are too

26/10/2022

The question arises naturally: 'Why a Polish Poker Championship in Slovakia?' I asked myself the question too, sneaked around a little bit, did some reading and I'm preparing an article about Poker and gambling regulations in Poland as an explanation to why the Polish Championship specifically is one of the historical big partners of Banco Casino in Bratislava and Kosice.

The Poles will be back in Bratislava from 28th November to 5th December for loads of Poker action!

29/9/2022

Over the summer months, I've been working on (re)connecting with partners to give my blog and traveling plans new impulses. One of the cool features for the colder season, is the (re)launch of the BEAT THE RAKE promo in the POKER TRIPS section.

Occasionally, I'll land a deal with event promoters for my photo input and whenever it's possible, I'll share the value with fellow traveling Poker players.
