Dr. Annelies De Vos · 2026-02-06

Hey there, poker enthusiasts. I've got some exciting news to share, and it's all about a golden opportunity. You know, sometimes in poker, you get a chance that's too good to pass up. This is one of those moments. We're talking about the legendary Irish Open Main Event. It's a tournament that's grown into something truly special over the years. And right now, I'm giving away a single, precious ticket to it. ### The Irish Open Ticket Giveaway Here's the deal. The Irish Open organizers have generously donated a Main Event ticket worth $1,100 to our Simplify Poker Academy community. My job? To get it into the hands of a deserving player. I've been lucky enough to win 19 tickets myself over the years. Now, in February, I'm paying that forward by giving one away. It's my way of saying thanks to a community that's all about growing the game. ### How You Can Win So, how do you get your hands on this ticket? It's not just a random draw. We're doing something a bit more engaging. Starting February 16th, we'll be running a series of satellite strategy questions in our private community. Think of it as a skill-based contest. The person who shows the best strategic thinking will be awarded the Main Event ticket. We'll announce the winner on February 27th. - You'll need to be a member of Simplify Poker Academy to participate. - The good news? You get instant, full access to the entire Academy content library when you join. - There's no long-term lock-in. You can cancel anytime. ### A Free Strategy Head Start Want a leg up before the contest even begins? We're hosting a completely free webinar on Irish Open satellite strategy on February 11th. It's the perfect primer. I'll be sharing insights you can use in the contest and, of course, if you win the ticket and head to Dublin. Keep an eye on my social channels for the login details. It's one of those sessions that could change your entire approach. ### More Than Just a Tournament This giveaway is about more than just a seat. It's setting the stage for what I'm calling the 'Ryder Cup of Poker' at the Irish Open. We'll have SimplifyPoker members from across Europe forming 'Team Europe,' ready to take on 'Team America,' led by the folks from JakaCoaching. The winner of this ticket will join players from Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, the UK, and more. It's about camaraderie and a little friendly continental rivalry. Michael from JakaCoaching put it perfectly: > "Our entire community is excited about the Irish Open. Players who haven't been yet have certainly heard all about it from those that have! There is no festival in the world quite like it for the fun and the 'craic'." He's right. After last year's record-breaking event, this year promises 86 different tournaments and an atmosphere that's simply unmatched. The 'Craic Den' is a experience every poker player should have. ### Why This Matters Look, the Irish Open isn't just another tournament. It's a festival. It's grown every single year since JP and Paul took the reins. This year is shaping up to be the biggest yet—in numbers, events, and pure, authentic craic. Giving away this ticket is our way of building the excitement. It's about adding one more passionate player to the mix and fueling that Ryder Cup-style spirit. The full details of the team event are coming soon, and trust me, you'll want to be part of it. So, what are you waiting for? If you've ever dreamed of playing in a world-class poker festival, this is your shot. Join the Academy, sharpen your skills in our contest, and you could be packing your bags for Dublin. The journey to your next great poker story starts right here.
