About PokerDesk

Hi, I’m Martin.

Founder of PokerDesk · High-stakes poker player

I’m from the Faroe Islands and now based in Austria. After years travelling for poker across Europe, Asia and the US, I know how much work goes into planning a trip before you even sit down to play.

Before poker, I worked as a software engineer. I built PokerDesk to bring series dates, tournament schedules and places to stay together — and make it easier to work out where to go and what to play.
