- The Quest
Recently I have undertaken to do a $100-$10k challenge starting with $6 buy-in games. I am ahead by $23 so far after spewing millions of dollars or what seems like it. I don’t know why I do these self imposed challenges but I am just a glutton for punishment I guess.
The latest results for the [...]

- How to win the $10k main event
So you want to hear how to win the 10k main event like Joe Cada from someone who has never won it. There are lots of people with the knowledge of how to win the main event. In fact you could still win it without being a very good player.
I have said it before and [...]

- Every Hand Revealed
I have been re-reading Gus Hansen’s book “Every Hand Revealed” this week and I really do recommend to anyone that they get this book. Gus can sometimes look the craziest player on the table but like Howard Lederer says in the video, Gus analyses situations and finds optimal strategies.
Finding the optimal strategy is part of [...]

- Can England do it at the World Cup next year
Watched the football last night and despite us not playing well (never expected us to), I think we have a chance next year. Many people will think that I have taken leave of my senses but listen, if Greece can win Euro 2004 then we can win the World Cup.
Its a cup competition so some [...]

- Poker…..what poker
Well its official, I now have not played any poker for two whole months and that I think is my record since I started playing online in around 2000 ish. The transformation in my week has been nothing short of remarkable. I guess “The Dean” has never been so well known
In fact apart [...]

- Poker on Pokerloco
Pokerloco dont just have some of the juiciest poker games but they also have some great poker tournaments as well. I have been spending some time as you know on the Ongame network of late and have started looking at the games on Pokerloco.
Its amazing how many poker sites I have actually been on down [...]

- Roulette Cheating
As my attempt to expand this blog will start moving into other areas, I feel that this deserves a little explanation. I just dont feel that a poker blog is sufficient these days and especially as many of the people that come to my blog are from other sites who are gambling related but are [...]

- Everyone’s a sucker bar me
Actually that title isnt quite what it sounds, went back onto the Hendon Mob site the other day to check my PM’s to see that someone had posted a thread called “What The Dean did Next”…….
I can see it now, the people at 2+2, WPT, Flush, Bluff, Poker Pro, Poker News, Flop Turn River, Stox [...]

- What is good?
I told myself that I wouldnt do it…..but I went back onto THM yesterday to see what was being said about me in that big thread only to find that it had been locked. Still…..cannot blame them as they dont want the entire forum slugging it out arguing over one person. This just detracts from [...]

- Credibility…….what credibility
Well its nearly two weeks since good old Mick McCool laid into me on The Poker Show and I still havent bought him a drink yet (must get around to doing that). I was speaking to Barry Carter the other day by e-mail who said a couple of things that set me thinking.
Firstly, he said [...]

- Calmed down a bit
The weather has been horrible so my projects have been put on hold so am writing this having got internet access from a friend. I have calmed down massively since last week, I was seriously gunning for some people and knee jerked somewhat. I dont mind questions or flak, the word “off a ducks back” [...]

- What is it with people?
First off, just like to apologise for not posting recently. I have just bought a house that is resembling a building site that is taking up all my time at the moment. It is in a beautiful spot with good views of the Nth Yorkshire moors. So posts may be at a premium.
I dont like [...]

The Dean can be contacted at Carl@Pokerquest.f9.co.uk for all poker, gambling and coaching related matters and is now taking enquiries from interested parties who are looking for STAKING!!
The early days of playing The Hawk are seeming to fit me like a glove. It has obviously been my personality that has impacted on how successful the [...]

- Changing the MO
The Dean can be contacted at Carl@Pokerquest.f9.co.uk for all poker, gambling and coaching related matters.
When I used the Vulture I was hitting about $20/hour/per 4 tables when I was on top of the game. This was basically using a TAG style. This I feel is a very good way to play for most players [...]

- Developing a poker plan
It is never a bad idea to develop a plan…..a long term strategic plan when you play poker. This prevents you from having to look at results in a vacuum and also playing individual hands as well. It is these two things that contrive to beat bad players. They only see short term…..they only see [...]

I have to commend James Akenhead today for reaching the final table of the 10k main event at the WSOP. It is great to see a British player at the final table and he will come back in November albeit [...]

- A new turn
The Dean can be contacted at Carl@Pokerquest.f9.co.uk for all poker, gambling and coaching related matters.
As of the 1st August, I will no longer be working with Cake Poker. This is something that benefits us both and was a mutual decision. This allows me far more flexibility for me to do certain things. So what [...]

- Time for a switch
I think that the time has come for me to move on from The Vulture, it is definitely getting to a stage where I am getting bored whilst playing it. This is definitely starting to affect the earn rate so as of today I will now be switching to playing limit holdem at 0.50-1.00 and [...]
