- Not another poker cheating scandal!
Wherever you look these days there are cheating scandals with regards to online poker. The latest one with the Chinese on Poker Stars can hardly come as any surprise to anyone. I mean, I wrote countless articles on this years ago and was condemned as a doom monger but look at it now. I’m afraid [...]

- Systems Update:
I know that I haven’t been keeping to my promise to place blogs every day and the last one was over a month ago and to that I plead guilty. But you will be glad to know that as of June 1st (today) then I will be placing a regular daily blog and this time [...]

- The Future is……Vulture
After doing loads of writing and staking during the past few months, the amount of poker that I have been playing has dropped through the floor. It seems like yesterday that I was playing $25-$50 NLHE last year and it also seems that the levels that I am playing at are dropping like a stone. [...]

- At Long Last
Sorry for not posting for what seems like ages (again) but I have been away on business and also tying up some loose ends. I have also been sorting out some of my stakes as well as I have had to drop a couple of players who were not performing including one who I thought [...]

Apologise for not posting in a while but this may be all I can manage these days. I have promised to keep all informed about my three systems. Firstly the Jackal and while I do not have an up to date report…..I do have the figures after c25k hands. Richard is $1234 dollars ahead which [...]

- The Jackal 20k Update
Ok so I promised a few weeks ago to write a daily blog but this month has just not been possible for me. I have undertaken even more work and I haven’t even played poker in ages as well. Although starting 1st April I will be doing a 100-1 challenge in which I try to [...]

- Jackal Update
I know I keep saying that I will post every day but you know how it is. I cannot seem to bring myself to find the time to write long posts. So what I plan to do is write short snappier posts and make them more often. That way they will not be boring and [...]

- It ain’t gonna happen
I have to say sorry for keep promising to make this a daily blog and then I keep dropping days. I just seem to have too much work and not enough time to do it in. But you wanted to know about The Jackal right
Well at the end of week 1 we are [...]

- Jackal Update : Day 5
I have some upto date figures after five days of The Jackal and we are ahead by $211 after 15 hours of play and 3749 hands. So it is $5.62/100 hands at the moment but that is four tabling. So we are at 11.24bb/100 which just HAS to be too high due to the small [...]

- Jackal update
We are into day 4 of the Jackal trial and I am pleased to report initial success. We are already five full buy-ins ahead at +$256. This seems too good to be true and seems way ahead of what our Sklansky Dollars should be although I haven’t seen any data yet so you are as [...]

- Nothing to report on the Jackal
I did say that I would give daily reports on the progress of The Jackal but unfortunately that means often having nothing to report. I didn’t get an update last night so the Jackal is as it was yesterday and is ahead by $144.
However I will be talking about my own poker play today and [...]

- A good day yesterday
Everything seemed to go my way yesterday, I had someone contact me from ages ago with some money that they owed me that I had actually written off so that was nice. Then the job that needed doing on my car ended up being nothing to worry about.
Then I get news that The Jackal won [...]

- The Jackal Day #1
Here we go then on my biggest adventure of the year and I am not even playing……how about that. The Jackal road test starts today and I haven’t been in touch with my guinea pig yet so I don’t know if he has started or not. The test involves four tabling NL50 six max and [...]

- The Jackal is doing the business
I am $414 ahead so far with the Jackal but I am running into difficulties in playing enough hours and this may be even more of a problem next month. I have managed to play around 2.5k hands so the earn rate so far is $16.56/100 hands. This equates to $4.13/100 per table or just [...]

- Please don’t quote me
I had an e-mail yesterday from what seemed a charming lady asking me for the details of Paul McKenna’s weight loss book and program
Please ladies and gents, I am not a health and diet advisor so no more e-mails on how to lose weight as I can’t even be certain that my weight [...]

- 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 [...]

- A quick word from a World Class player
Online poker has changed…….I mean seriously changed. A few years ago you could look at the players who were considered “World Class” and they are far different to the players who are considered “World Class” today. Its like the old series of Late Night Poker on Channel 4, I remember those shows and the players [...]

- 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 [...]
