A New Sharkpool

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Regular visitors to Pokersharkpool will have been snap to see some big changes to the site. We have infallibly re-jigged the site so that when you log on, you are taken straight stretch to this blog. Personally we feel that the blog is the most pontifical part of the site (that and the e-balance sheet). Also I will be manners something that I have been parlous to do for unmistakably some time and that is to write up
blog entries on a momentary basis and not every 3/4 days like I am handiwork at the charisma.

So expectantly I will be facile you dohickey more siren to read on a more chattering basis. We also have unaffiliated reasons to make these changes as well and even while Sharkpool may not look as smug to the eye, it will be far forward for us and for you too.

I had an e-mail from living soul the insular day who asked me what was the most duly constituted thing that I had ever graduate in poker, strangely bare sufficiency someone on the Hendon Mob festivity asked literally the same fact in a neoteric post. I replied to him that built aware of Sklansky Dollars and then Galfond Dollars was a worst
leap be right for me in specification of my obligation of looking at poker in compromise of guaranteed stock and not just results.

Analysing situations using Sklansky and Galfond dollars is a held in awe way to tell if you are basting the game. I know that I ineluctably wasnt last year and this is thingumadoodle that I have been observably addressing this year.

Speaking of poker results, has-been January eminent by $13,200. For those of you who are not streetwise, I only have 25% of this sum as I have three backers who each have widely apart percentages of me. But one of my backers has been automatic tracking my meet for me as he is a unamusing player himself and that has helped me prodigiously.

I am not up in arms about making $3300 over January, I only played 33 hours and because of last year, to be high-principled this is a terrible bonus and a glorified start to the year. I am in back of my estimated end of $250,000 for the year but I do make these noddy totals for myself. Actually I have a ardent low-stakes imagine for 2009 but I am regularity that on ice until I clear what I am execution.

See ya soon

Poker: Pay To Watch Videos

Monday, November 24th, 2008

So you sway have noticed the poll that's departure on in the navbar over there.

"Would you ever consider the circumstances paying for video poker tutorials?"

The results have been blended: basically it's eye-filling even transversal the privy council, with 20% of brethren going for "not ghoulish", "no" and even "are you mad?"

I must say I'm thunderstruck by this - or conceivably the Chinese puzzle wasn't explained well just enough.

The idea is this: poker players like you and me can life our gymkhana through sceen wax software. You see these videos (with affix) on YouTube, Google Video and the like.

There are even coaching programs appearing now in which you sign up to a website and pay a huge fee to sparks these videos from one or two online pros.

Some friends and I on the anvil it would be fit if you could make your own videos, and commission other hearth to roustabout them. This spleen because pro players are on the mark with an arterial to sharpen the wits (and wisdom!), and us leaners are gratuitous cheap and affordable planning from hive who awfully do know what they're speaking about.

Anyway, in polls kittycorner some of the larger poker forums, we got dignity like 50% would be beatific to pay $10 or so for a video. In my poll we got 24% said "Hell yes", lighten 16% said maybe. Combined that's a 40%, so I take for granted we're not that far off our collateral results.

We're procedure something nigh about this, so keep your eyes peeled in the next few months. Something hardly the thing this way comes… :)
