A Word From The Author
I was born in Bonn, Germany, and grew up in the charming village of Odendorf. My pursuit of knowledge led me to study Business Psychology at Hochschule Fresenius in Cologne. However, in August 2011, I decided to follow my heart and venture into the world of poker as a part of Team Pokerstars. Now, I call Vienna, Austria, my home, continuously pushing the boundaries of my poker career.
