It may be like stepping back in time - in an even way.

On Saturday, April 9, I WILL BE ABLE TO touch ground in Hamburg, my birth town. The city-state was also where where I BEGAN working for IntelliPoker, PokerStars' poker school.

Back then "playing for play money" meant to practice and learn the fundamentals of the sport. Things have changed. Nowadays you'll be able to play for millions or even join the Billionaire's Club. Exciting tournament series now exist to construct similar challenges for prestige like they do the true money universe.

As it happens, such a may also be touching down on Saturday: The Elite Series!

The online event will run April 9-17, the precise period of time that I'LL BE traveling in Germany and visiting family. My parents haven't seen me in a year, but they'll need to live with me playing poker a few of these days. They know the way much I LIKE the sport and i wouldn't pass at the opportunity to play on PokerStars again.

The poker action won't start before Sunday evening for me, though. Saturday might be devoted to enjoying Hamburg and meeting friends. Sunday evening at my dad's, after my baby half-brother has gone to bed, I WILL BE ABLE TO arrange a Twitch stream and play the Progressive Super Knockout at 15:00 ET. Knockouts are essentially the most fun, right?

After this I'LL BE back for Women's Tuesday on April 12 and play a minimum of some of the events on that day. Wednesday my journey will bring me back to Hamburg where I WILL BE ABLE TO enjoy some culture that town has to provide (versus the nightlife on Saturday) and head to the hotel early for Event #17, a No-Limit Omaha8 tournament. Omaha8 is my second favourite game. Playing it No-Limit is crazy, though.

On Thursday I CAN hop on a train to the Harz mountains where my mum lives and spend a while together with her before playing as the various Hourly Hypers on Saturday as time (and my mum) allows.

I am already registered for the tourneys I CAN play (except the hypers), so seek for "Davina Darr" within the client and join me in those events.

There might be a review article after the tournament series by which I CAN hopefully have the ability to report about taking down multiple events, and perhaps one can find your name in an epic hand we played together.

Let's do this!
