- Not quite millionaire’s row
I had an e-mail yesterday asking me about “The Jackal” and when it will be available. Well firstly I am not even sure if it ever will be although I expect the answer to that to be yes although I recall saying that last year for “The Vulture”. Funnily enough I got the [...]

- 6 max system: The Jackal
Recent readers of Pokersharkpool will have missed my challenge last year to show that a player with little bankroll could make a living wage playing NLHE cash games. Just to fill in recent readers, I made $25/hour multi-tabling NL50 full-ring games over 75k hands.
When you spend most of the time folding then this isn’t difficult [...]

- Well done Joe Cada
So after waiting for nearly three months, Joe Cada is now the new $10,000 WSOP Main Event Champion. I always think that this new set up is a bum deal for champions as they only get to be champion until July when they will inevitably be eliminated before the final table and so everyone knows [...]

- Looking for a new challenge
The Dean can be contacted at Carl@Pokerquest.f9.co.uk for all poker, gambling and coaching related matters.
You should know me by now, as Barry Carter once said…. “Carl…you are a challenge obsessive”. Trouble is that he was right. I only seem to get motivated to play poker if I have some sort of challenge. At $25/hour [...]

- Same old problem
What is it with me these days, am I totally incapable of keeping dicipline in small stakes games. After a decent December winning $1024 I have played very badly this month. In front by about $100 but lost so much money due to indiscipline that I should have been at least 10 buy-ins more than [...]

- A New Era
Well tonight I will be playing my first online poker tournament in absolutely ages. When I say tournament then I mean MTT and not SNG’s obviously. I will be playing in the 100k guarenteed tournament on Cake Poker starting at 10.00 GMT. Hopefully this will start my online tournament “career” as this is something that [...]

- Dont know what to do
Bounced back slightly last night with a win of $25.50 in the $1000 a month challenge. This takes my monthly total to +$122.89. But there are several things that I am not sure about and one of them is in how long I stay on the table after increasing my stack.
This system is supposed to [...]

- Slightly ashamed
Well this morning, I feel slightly ashamed to make this report regarding the $1000 a month challenge. I not only lost a total of $27.75 last night but I also tilted. Not mega gut wrenching tilt but minor “head not in the game slightly annoyed tilt”.
I mean come on…….I am sitting there with around forty [...]

- Wish my luck would change
Actually in the great scheme of things, I havent been unlucky at all. My latest 90 minute session tonight four tabling the $1000 a month challenge saw me win a modest $8.90. I won a similar amount last time I played so my current monthly total stands at +$125.14
I feel though that a big session [...]

- Getting into this
Well I have just reached the second anniversary of my blog and it has been a good two years on the whole. Being asked to write highstakes theory for Sklansky and Malmuths 2+2 site was a big honour. But also was my invites onto the Stox Poker and Poker Swat coaching sites, offers that I [...]

- Well we are off
I started the $1000 per month short stacking challenge for real last night and after a bad start I eventually had a winning session. In fact because last month, I was basically preparing for it then my rakeback went in yesterday and this figure accurately fits what I should be getting in the future.
The bottom [...]
