1st Croatian Poker Seminar Tomorrow.. short dealer course today

subota, 17.03.2007.

As some of the Croatian readers probably know, tomorrow starts the "First Croatian Poker Seminar" and will be held in Zagreb, hotel Central. I think it is a good effort by some of the poker enthusiasts to try and help Croats to get to know the game and hear a few lectures on few poker topics from some of the more established players in Croatia. Hopefully, there will be a special guest in form of this years (finished yesterday) Vienna Spring Poker Festival main event winner Branimir Brunovic (also known as Bicko) who most of the players in Zagreb and Croatia already know for some time and it was in fact just a matter of time when he would surface as an emerging top player not only in Croatia. I guess that this first place in Vienna clears the doubts, if there were ever any. If he arives to the seminar he will probably give a first hand report from Vienna Fest and his experience in playing and winning a 4-5 day event. Some of the other lecturers (as far as I know) should be other players that had some results either in Croatia or abroad. The seminar should end with a tournament for the participants and there will be a prize for first three places (laptop for 1st and money for 2nd and 3rd place) so I believe it will be an interesting event.
As for me, I am going to the short "turbo" dealer course to Grand Casino in order to learn how to shuffle cards correctly (as the dealers in poker rooms do) in order to be able to deal for tomorrows tournament. Yes, I will probably be one of the dealers and hopefully I will do good with very little or no mistakes. I guess that will hinder my chance of participating in the tournament and geting my hands on a new laptop, but on the other hand, if I don't find the dealer job too tiring or too hard I might actually look for a regular dealer workshop or training and if I pass it successfully maybe I will try and get myself a job in "the industry" naughty . If I for some reason don't succeed as a pro dealer then I'll at least know how to deal correctly for all the home games that are played around. Anyway, I am looking forward both to the short training today and the seminar tomorrow... It's a good idea to try and involve more people in poker in Croatia, to try and boost the scene growth. Maybe eventually there will be a decent card casino in Zagreb with some interesting events and offered games.... maybe...
So, while waiting for the time to go to the training, I will try and learn something... how? Well, by reading Harrington and Robertie "On Holdem - Vol.1".... Cheers!
