Since traveling takes up so much of my time, not much is random when I fly. When I know the airport and how the wind behaves, I can usually anticipate pretty well what routes we're going to use to take off or land. Yes, I'm an aviation geek, so what?! :-)

As part of my mental strengthening attempts, I am trying to face some of my genuine fears from time to time - not only the fear of the backdoor flush that completed on the river. This one might seem ridiculous to most of you but it was a real challenge for me. Not only in terms of being able to be there for two days but also to find ways to focus and be productive in an environment full of dangerous monsters ^^

Check out the POKER TRIPS section if you care to join somewhere. There's plenty of info online featuring new BEAT THE RAKE promos and hotel package offers. 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. The Spanish Poker Festival still have a bunch of events up their sleeve for this year, so get your agenda ready and get set for one or the other mtt in Spain or Rozvadov during the end of 2022 ...
Most of my personal upcoming stops are listed in the POKER TRIPS section and I'll try to throw in another dead bullet or two to support the Spanish Poker community :-p After the first stop of this mainly Belgian&French Poker travel group in Bratislava this summer, they are back on the road and coming back to Slovakia in November.
Season 10 of the CNP season is coming to an end after the last Gran Final in January 2022. Back then, we were still all wearing life saving masks on the inside in Spain but it seems we are all safe now :-)
With less than two weeks to go before the start of the CNP Bogota leg, the local preparations have begun.
This first stop in Bogota is only the tip of the iceberg. As a matter of fact, the CNP team have announced plans put together a Latin American live Poker tour: the Circuito Latino de Poker. November will be bringing another wave of Belgians and French players to Slovakia's capital. The promoter will be Poker Belgique featuring the second edition of its very affordable France/Belgique Masters after a first decent leg early this summer. Get in touch for your bookings if you care to join.
All info about Banco Casino in Bratislava HERE. Check the POKER TRIPS section for promos. Over the coming weeks, Bratislava will be one of Europe's hottest Poker spots ! We've summed up the action in THIS POKERFIRMA ARTICLE . Don't worry, your German skills don't need to be that good to understand what we're talking about :-) Poker. A lot of Poker!
Also, check out the POKER TRIPS section for more #allineverywhere suggestions . PokerStars are coming back to their Belgium home in Namur for a Road to PSPC event in late November and early December. Save the dates if you care. I might be around too.
How about playing Poker in grand style at Casino Baden less than one hour from Vienna? The Casinos Austria Poker Tour [CAPT] will stop in Baden in a few weeks and I'm thinking of getting some fresh mountain air. The tournaments buy-ins range between €60 and €2.2k .
Check out the full schedule HERE. The Wyndham Hotel Bogota is about to host the first CNP event in Colombia launching the Circuito Latino de Poker project and offering great opportunities to travel and play cards on the other side of the planet.
As mister #allineverywhere , I like this a lot :-) Find out about plenty of details on this short and rather visual post. Info and booking is available via the POKER TRIPS section here and you can still take advantage of the promotion to play the Main Event rake-free with THE-ROUNDER. Colombia for sure is bit off my standard travel circuit so I made a bit of research in order to prepare my trip. In this post, you'll find useful links and info about how to embark with us for the upcoming CNP Bogota.
Only about a month separates us from the start of the first CNP Festival in Colombia.
Everything seems ready to welcome delegations from all over the world with this expansion of the 10th season of the (actually) Spanish Poker Tour. The support of the community will be crucial to turn this somewhat crazy idea of Jaime Sanchez's team into a success story. The dates for the next Banco Casino Masters have been announced!
A great addition to my October planning knot :-) Banco Casino info can be found HERE and I'll add details and promos in this blog and in the POKER TRIPS section soon.
One of the coolest festivals around on the Poker circuit these days is THE FESTIVAL. The event is a Poker event but features loads of variants and special events in order to make this gathering of international Poker players not only an occasion to play cards.
There's something romantic about not having a home but the romance comes with a price, like everything in life. A quote taken from THE Poker movie states that 'in the game of life, women are the rake'. In my life, travel fees are the rake. And they tend to add up pretty badly sometimes - especially in these inflation and €/$ parity times. But I get no cuddles in return :-)
After some months of Vegas, Baby! from May to August, I spent most of the August weeks in Portugal and I'm all set for September but October 2022 seems to develop as a major logistics knot which made me deconstruct my own process of deciding where I'm heading to ... geographically speaking ... philosophically and mentally, it's another story :-p
Two more stops are scheduled for the end of the 10th year of the Spanish CNP agenda: Alicante in early September (see tweet below) and the Grand Final in Madrid in November. What's more, there will be another stop in Bogota in October.
Check out the POKER TRIPS section for details. During spring, it looked like I'd spend a significant amount of time in Bratislava for the rest of the year and then life happened :-) I will eventually be back in Slovakia but not immediately. Maybe for this event in case the stars don't align well for my Colombia plan in October.
After a recent home game in Tallinn, The Festival is moving on to Slovakia in October and the Bratislava schedule is ready. Have a look in case you're not familiar with the concept. It's a little bit of a special kind of festival.
CNP is putting on a Poker show in Bogota, Colombia in October. I'm not expecting to move many people for this one but in case of interest, here's all you need to know.
Love Poker? Enjoy traveling? Circuito Nacional de Poker invited me to join them for the CNP Bogota in Colombia next October. I'm trying to make room in my agenda in order to make this happen and I've put together this promo for you. I'm paying the rake of your CNP Bogota Main Event! I'll do so for the first 5 people who book a pack through me for this trip. Don't spew if you're on a tight budget - I'm only paying the rake for the first bullet :-) On top of it, I'll throw in some nice souvenir pics of you doing the Colombian re-raise at the tables for your bad beat stories on social media. So bring your fanciest shirt and grow your coolest moustache. You can get in touch or just stay tuned under the following social media links: Facebook - Instagram - Twitter

Colombia, yes, the country in South America!
The Laroush Poker event promoter is making international jumps and has announced a CNP stop in Bogota this October. I don't know - it sounds ... exciting :-) It's pretty difficult to find out what Martin Franke, the hyperactive Estonian entrepreneur, is brewing in his head but once it's brewed, the word goes out and spreads like a wildfire thanks to an efficient marketing machinery. I've been following Martin on social media for years and we came close to working together at some point in the past but the main thing I have learned about him so far, is that he might be the only person in Europe that travels more than I do but fact is, his 'actually getting on the booked flight' performances are worse than mine and it seems he misses more planes than I do :-p ^^
Something else that has to be credited to him, is the creation of 'The Festival', a unique gaming caravan aiming to travel around and hosting international game competitions. After a great 2021 edition in Bratislava, the gaming event is heading to Estonia's capital, Tallinn, where the next leg will take place between the 27th of June and the 3rd of July 2022. |
