Poker is gripping. Poker evokes associations. You think about smoky backrooms with low lamps, of dubious characters and easy women. The winner is shot and the cards are marked. The clichés are well known.
And Horst Koch is willing to serve them – if it helps his mission. Poker is mysterious. And poker is fascinating. Of course for the media too.
That’s no problem for Horst Koch. Horst Koch enlightens, reports and helps where he can.
When he appeared on a show game with ARD star Jörg Pilawa Koch was asked by reporters “Well then, how many houses have you already lost?” To which Koch replied: “Not a single one, but I’m just about to win my second one!” They roared with laughter. His spontaneity and humour have made Koch a much sought after media partner.





Poker is changing its image from being a card game in backrooms to being a presentable game with great public appeal.
