The recent blaze at Serta, about 200 kilometers Northeast of Lisbon, is officially estimated to have charred more than 25.000 hectares of land. That's about 10% of the surface of the Luxembourg, the country I was born in ...
Additionnally, fires broke out later as a result of severe drought conditions in 70% of Portugal territory according to the local Weather Institute.
It is officially reported that hundreds of firefighter were deployed to a dozen blazes together with more tan 20 water-dropping aircrafts. My Leechi charity pot will be open until late August if you want to help in this summer's #solidaritychallenge #spew4pt. Find out more about the project below if you are not familiar with it.

You can donate money via the Leechi site or just hand me over the money in cash, by wire transfer or by any other means.
After the beginning of the project in June and my ITM trip to Rozvadov a bit after for the SPF, I am now back with more great news: - Yoann and Sarah from Luxembourg have contributed to the pot with a donation of €30 !! Muito obrigado !! - I made the money (12th/247) in the CNPi Estoril Main Event for a total of €1.900. Being in for only €185 (€35 sat, €100 sat, €50 add-on) instead of €600 (normal buy-in), this makes a nice profit of €1.715 and I will add €90 to the charity pot (5% of the profit). In total, the money pot has now reached €346.

> THE-ROUNDERdotnet home > Poker tournament & festival Calendar > updates on Facebook More photos on: > Flickr > LIB > Life Is Beautiful --- Back in Luxembourg after SPF Rozvadov since the 27th of July and getting ready to fly to Portugal for the CNPi Estoril and to work on some #spew4pt plans. The #solidaritchallenge money pot has now reached a minimum of €236. Financially speaking, I'm in the red for this trip after some rough plo runner runner adventures in pretty big pots but this trip has also brought the first ITM of the challenge after 8 tournaments played since June 2017: a cash of €871 for 40th/871 place in the Spanish Poker Festival Main Event. It only took me one busted satellite (AK<QJ) and one single bullet to reach this stage of the tournament so I invested 50+300=350 to win 871 which makes a €521 profit to book for this tournament and this will add €26 (5% of profit) to the charity pot. You can also participate until the end of August.

Theses photos are also available on my Flickr and there are a ton of additional photos on the King's and SPF Facebook pages.    > THE-ROUNDERdotnet home > Poker tournament & festival Calendar > updates on Facebook More photos on: > Flickr > LIB > Life Is Beautiful --- Great wildfires have struck Portugal in late June. Many people have lost their lives and even more are left with close to nothing looking at an insecure and blurry future. THE-ROUNDER.net together with a bunch of members of the Portugal Poker community have teamed up to set up this solidarity campaign in order support our Portuguese sisters, brothers and friends in these difficult times. >> Find out more on the Leetchi.com profile set up to explain the project. << View some humbling pictures below taken from a CNN.com report. I am flying to Portugal from the 12th to 26th of July to play some cards, visit friends but also to find partners and ideas on who and how to help in an effective way. Personally, I will feed the money pot with 100€ to start with and I will give away 5% of my live MTT profit (per tournament, not globally) from June to at least August this year. Depending on how the project goes, I might go on with it. #spew4pt 💪 🔥 Think of every time you donated chips to your opponent for nothing on a dodgy river. If you make a donation here, it will not be useless and stupid. I promise :) Thanks for spreading the word! You can all help! With money, ideas & suggestions, contacts, time ... Every helping hand is warmly welcome!  > THE-ROUNDERdotnet Google calendar. > THE-ROUNDERdotnet on Facebook. --- [Français plus bas] After the completion of my 2016 challenge, I am already looking for ideas for another challenge in 2017.  [Français plus bas] It's October! Time to take a look back to my 2016 solidarity challenge. In the beginning of 2016, I started a challenge with a 500€ bankroll aiming to step up the limits on Winamax. --- Nous voilà en octobre et il est temps de tirer un bilan de mon solidarity challenge 2016. Au début de cette année, j’ai commencé un challenge avec une bankroll de 500€ avec l’objectif de monter le plus de jetons possibles sur Winamax.   [Français plus bas] A few weeks have gone by since I last posted updates about my ongoing solidarity challenge with nothing but the daily grind to report about. The end of January has been a tough period for my cash game graph that has been staying below its expected sister graph for the last... 4.500 hands :/ Sure, I am making plenty of mistakes but a little help by the stats would be nice for a change.  Driving to Arras (F) yesterday night for a session with LastiKaf. [Français plus bas] And up! And down! And up, up, up! And down! Sounds like what could be a fun aerobics course with sexy neon-legging-wearing goddesses but it is the rhythm of my bankroll instead :/  The Behemoth roller coaster in Canada. Picture taken from nerdwallet.com [click image] [Français plus bas] It's been a rough January 12th with the first severe setback after 2.5k hands only. When I was drawing, nothing came, when vilain was drawing, he hit virtually every time. I just could not win yesterday during my 700-hand session: set over set, straight vs. higher straight, full vs. better full, nut-flush vs. two pairs that end up filling up. I've seen them all yesterday :/ It's been a rough January 12th... A friend suggested that the 13th would be better :p Let's see...  PLO is dangerous acrobatics... This is what my graph looked like at some point during the session :p [© Oliver Santa - two planes of the Indonesian Aerobatics Team collided while practicing for an airshow in Malaysia on March 15 2015] [Français plus bas]  Here we go ! Since last sunday, the 14th Winamax Series have started offering 10 days of Poker featuring 92 tourneys with buy-ins ranging from €5 to €1.000. Most of the tourneys are obviously too expensive for my bankroll but I will try to participate to this huge series by playing some satellites for events that are now out of reach. So far, I have played 4 satellites with 0 qualification and €16 invested. Two €5 sats for Event 13 and two €3 sats for Event 15. [Français plus bas] Happy New Year to all !! May the force of the runner runner be with you and your life be beautiful ! I started the year with... some Poker... obviously :) After I kinda deserted the online fields during the second part of 2015 because of extensive travelling, I decided to reboost my online motivation with a new solidarity challenge. Updates about those are always available HERE. I decided to allocate €500 to this bankroll journey and I will mostly be playing Pot Limit Omaha cash games with it. MTTs will also be on the menu but in a conservative way. The site I opted for to start this challenge, is Winamax. I might transfer the bankroll to another site if the trafic is not high enough but as I am not playing more than 2-3 tables at once, the French site will be ok to start with.  The sky is the limit ! |
