And now is with the 2.Teil of exciting exclusive interviews with Katja Thater continues:
Are they then about Michael Nobody really only tournament in the sport entered? He has yes to the German team at the Nations Cup in Cardiff brought …
In early 2006 Michael No one has given me the opportunity for the German team at the holdem poker Nations Cup in Cardiff. I am very grateful to him. There was a lot scramble for the few places in the team. Anyone who plays holdem poker in Germany Wanted. To be a TV event that will be invited and can not directly buy.
And then you have chosen a woman even a place,

so far very little international tournaments has played and until then “only” the cash-game tables rocks. There was so much criticism in the course of this tournament Vorwege. Michael remained cool and simply did not impress. He knows me for many years and knew that I am here in Germany a very good tournament so far and have balance valuable for the team could be.
When we arrived there we were a little smile, but after my latest Heat, the bookmaker-Wettquoten high.
Obviously, I played so well that the English TV commentators and viewers almost ausgeflippt. In so doing, so I played as I always do, the difference was that there is now a wide audience on TV. In England ran the holdem poker Nations Cup on Channel 4 on the best time and thus were apparently a lot of attention on me. Consequently, I got lots of offers for sponsorship.
See him as her “mentor”?
Michael and I are in close contact. We discuss and advise us to have joint projects and interests. Of course I ask him something. He is a good strategist and a very valuable man. I am glad that it in my life.
How long does it contract with holdem poker stars?
Just last month in Monte Carlo, I have my contract with holdem poker stars. holdem poker Stars is very happy with me and I did not have long considered the offer, it is also for me once again has improved. The marketing boss said after the conclusion to me: “Katja, you have something for which 90% of all holdem poker players the right arm abhacken would leave.” She is right.
Will they continue to play a major provider? What are the advantages and disadvantages to this?
I continue to play and holdem poker stars. I had many offers and I’m looking for these providers decided to anyway because it’s my favourite side, and I also 100% behind the bid are. holdem poker Stars is the largest online holdem poker casino in the world and I think everything here what I want, at any time. holdem poker Stars operates very professionally and that’s my own way of working. Disadvantages for me, I can not see.
What do they expect from the WSOP this year? Is it at all well in a tournament made something? Or how to prepare them mentally for the big events?
That depends on what you make. To win or the money to produce clear that everyone takes. Just live tournaments, even with an extremely strong cast and great starter field, are not predictable. The variance is high. We can not in such a tournament and say: “100% I win the thing here.” Impossible. Moreover, I do not go to Hintertupfingen and play against Max Doe, who has 14 months pokert but as I sit in Las Vegas and did it with calibers as Tony G. to do.
I take me with a good tournament to play. Whatever good. Since everyone has his own opinion so, because at holdem poker is nothing, absolutely nothing strictly according to plan, or even textbook. Everything can be done wrong and the next moment totally correct. Only yesterday I was Greg Raymer dinner and he said, there are decisions with which we are on a wire rope moves. Is it good, says: “Class played, it’s also:” What is this for an idiot. ”
So a real preparation, there’s not. Never. Apart from the usual: Ausschlafen, sports, healthy eating.
They love animals, even horses. How do it, despite all the appointments, still time to find?
The I suppose.
My diary is full, my messy desk and never unpacked suitcase. holdem poker keeps me quite busy. Speaking trotting: My horses are well supplied. I am quite good at setting priorities and delegating. Normally I do with my horses prefer everything themselves is now no more and I will confine myself to the pure training when I am here. A pity, but it is now the times.
Our dog, we take as much as possible, anywhere. Only long flights muten we will not, then he listens to my mother.
Check out as a pioneer of women in the holdem poker business - to form more self-awareness even look at the table, and not only in the company of men or life companions mitzugehen?
As a pioneer to get a little too late. Women as e.g. Barbara Enright or Susi Isaacs play for decades successfully Poker. In Germany I hope perhaps an inspiration for expectant holdem poker girls to be or at least encourage them.
The newly gained self-confidence can also be tried, because this is in some men often translated with “arrogance”. Women who know what they want and are also directly say confuse most of the male brain.
In addition, one in Germany as a successful woman in the holdem poker sport very eyed. What makes the better? And why did they not what I have? With something many women just can not handle. I see the locker, even if I have allegedly played by me hands on the Internet can read, even before I had the cards in a hand.
In an interview, they have once said: “The enemy is not against one, he sits in his own head.” What are they doing, if it is “enemy” in their reports?
Poker is partially bare warfare psychological level. Especially all or PL NL games, but also Short-Handed tables, no matter which version. In these games is not only on the nuts maintained but we must dive in: “He thinks that I think that he thinks that I think?”. If I no longer get to the series, I do Feierabend .
Would they are sometimes the holdem poker business behind you, and what else?
No.
There is little time to relax there, but it gives me nothing, too. I’ve always been independent and I am long accustomed to work on Sundays. Finally, yes I love my job and knows who will succeed must also halt times from the standard set out in motion.
But in between I prefer my old clothes and go to my horses, preferably with the dog in the luggage. Although there is also work waiting…
Where are their favorite places?
My own bed. Since I stay in hotels so much, I noticed how happy I am at home in my own bed to sleep.
