- 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 [...]

- A Good Weekend in More Ways Than One
Played three more poker sessions since the last post and I seem to have started the year like a freight train! I had a huge near miss yesterday when I was considering backing Dave Chisnell to win the BDO World Darts Final. If I could have managed to get better than Evens then I would [...]

- A couple of lucky escapes
I almost had two bets that would have lost out yesterday. I almost laid Phil Taylor at really short odds to win the PDC World Darts Championship and didn’t and also Arsenal at West Ham yesterday in the FA Cup. Something didn’t feel right and I swerved them both and was happy when both [...]

- What has 2009 been like?
I really don’t know how best to describe 2009, I think it has been eventful but odd in the same way. Many of my goals and projects have not come to fruition and that has been a disappointment.
BIGGEST DISSAPOINTMENTS OF THE YEAR
1. Having less time to play poker is pretty much up there but I [...]

- Christmas gifts……but not for me
Been a while since I posted but you know how it is this time of year. I have been playing some online poker due to having more down time and I have to confess that I have been making some people very happy this Christmas. I lost $1100 playing $2-$4 PLO, $1600 playing heads up [...]

- Starting to hit a good run
Played some more poker this week, I am starting to find some more time although Christmas is going to get in the way so last night may have been my last session for a while. I was playing heads at NL400 which is about the lowest level that motivates me when heads up.
I had been [...]

- My new poker book is out
Just wanted to say that I received my new poker book yesterday “Winning Cash Game Poker” and it fills me with pride to have written a book on poker. The book is basically about my thoughts on poker but I dare say that it will get knocked in a few quarters. The book has [...]

- You have to learn from these guys
There is no doubt that the new generation of young kids have changed poker and even though they have undoubtedly made the online poker games tougher, they have passed on their knowledge and educated us all. Today’s video features a short interview with one such “kid”……Hac Dang. After watching this video and seeing him for [...]

- Maybe the start of something
Isn’t it amazing how when you look back over your life you can seen how you have transcended from one stage to another. Actually I quite like that word “transcend” because it accurately fits in with how life is in general. Sometimes something happens that drives you down certain paths.
What is all this leading to? [...]

- All out aggression
Today’s video shows a final table from a WPT event won by Scotty Nguyen. In fact it only shows one hand as the heads up confrontation lasted for just one hand. Both players had a similar chip count so whoever won this hand was basically the champion. I love the WPT shows, sure they are [...]

- Why do I do it?
After yesterday’s post, a close friend of mine called me late last night to tear me off a strip. He wanted to know why I still insisted on responding to people who attacked me several month’s ago?
Well numerous reasons actually, the first one is because I can. It is my blog and it not only [...]

- Winning Cash Game Poker
Well it is finally here, my first poker book is about to go to the printers and it is called “Winning Cash Game Poker“. I actually wrote this book some time ago but it has been delayed for various reasons.
It is basically my take and views on poker and although it is a relatively short [...]

- Cheating in Blackjack
I have had more people approach me over the years to ask me how you cheat in blackjack when you cannot physically touch the cards. Also, how do you cheat or gain an advantage when the game is using an automatic shuffling machine?
Well what you have to remember is that the game is still being [...]

- A time to reflect
Well after Saturdays debacle, it was time to have a real good think about where I stand with my poker. Years ago when I first turned full-time, I played limit hold’em at a rate of between 50-60 hours a week online. This really starts to get to you after a while and was a major [...]
