About 50outs.com

Welcome to my poker blog! My name is Jan-Christoph von Halle and my poker screenname is '50outs'. I play poker since 1989 and started blogging back in 2002. I'm from Hamburg, Germany, work as an IT consultant and have played poker professionally during bad some times.

I am most known for infecting Katja Thater with the poker virus and being her husband, having build Intellipoker.com for PokerStars and checking a royal flush in position on the river in the 2008 WSOP 10k PLH event against Kathy Liebert (sigh).

Have fun following our adventures!

    PokerStars

    PokerStars is my online poker room of choice. Not only they are the biggest, they are also the best and offer the ultimate choice of games and limits.

    Having worked over two years for PokerStars I know the player is always in their main focus. I trust the software and the company.

    IntelliPoker

    IntelliPoker is the PokerStars pokerschool and -community project that I helped building from scratch.

    Nowadays I don't work for IntelliPoker or PokerStars anymore, read my statement about the reasons here (English) or here (German).

    Katja Thater

    Katja Thater is my wife and member of Team PokerStars Pro.

    We share an exciting life since more than ten years and both of us played poker already when it was still shaddy and sometimes dangerous.

    Katja is my everything and I love her.
