But today I am organizing and coordinating poker tournaments for the casinos. I am the only one who has all of the necessary connections to do that. For example, the Baden Baden casino ran a newspaper ad for tournament players and got seven people. I called on the telephone and in a week, the tournament was full with six tables of players. So far, we have had prize pools totaling 700,000 Marks.
Tournaments are the wave of the future in Germany.
At the Spielbank in Wiesbaden, I plan to schedule 80 tournaments, at least, and I am hopeful that all of the casinos in Baden Baden, Hamburg, Dortmund, and Konstanz also will be coming. On the weekends in Baden Baden, the limits are 20-100 Marks. The opening bet is 10 Marks, which can be raised by 50 Marks for a total of 60 Marks. We mostly play pot-limit. Yes, it is developing, and I am hoping to help it.
