Scotty Nguyen says

My mother actually played cards for money. I would sit behind her and watch. Occasionally, she’d leave the table and hand me her cards and have me play them for her. My dad, though, hated poker with a passion. If he caught me playing, he’d bring me home and beat me with a rubber hose. [...]

Out now: Mike Matusow “Check-Raising the Devil”

Mike Matusows autobiography hits the stores today. Like I mentioned earlier, this is a must read book, and it seems I’m not the only one with that opinion. Pokernews has a rave review for the book. The book has already been available from Joxums Poker Book Store for a few days now.  It’s climbing Amazon’s [...]

New in Books: Mike Matusow “Check-Raising the Devil”

There’s always been something about Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, that is so hard to define. I used to dislike his trash talk, until I saw how it would upset ego-types like Phil Hellmuth, who, by the way has written the foreword to the book. Matusow is something of an enigma. He’s a recovered drug abuser [...]

New in Books: Alan Schoonmaker “Poker Winners Are Different”

I’ve added the most recent of Alan Schoonmakers books “Poker Winners Are Different” to the book store.

Sklansky & Miller: No Limit Hold’em, Theory and Practice

Stockholm was great. The weather was a little bit on the warm side, but not by much. The prices were a lot more attractive, with the swedish “krona” being only about 2/3 of the danish “krone”, or about 11:1 USD. I didn’t bring any poker money, because it wasn’t supposed to be that sort of [...]

Commercial Break or: Honey, I built a book store

It was a spur of the moment. I wanted to be able to say to my girlfriend (who sometimes thinks that I’m a lazy ass SOB, which btw I am), that while she was upstairs sleeping, I built a book store. Hah! in your face, girlfriend, because, without any further ado: Joxums Poker Book Store [...]

Gus Hansen i Berlingske

Index: 1.734(Sorry in danish only) Jeg ved ikke – når man gambler, så gambler man. Der er så mange uvisheder. Man kan spille pissegodt i poker eller backgammon, og man burde måske have vundet, men det er ikke ensbetydende med, at man gør det, så det er altid sådan lidt svævende. Lidt i mellemtonen. Specielt [...]

Floatsam and jetsam

I just finished the “Harrington on Hold’em” workbook (vol. III). Scored 389 points out of 591. This gives me a rating of: “A player with a solid base of skills to build on”. If I had actually hit the 400+ mark I would have been the much cooler: “A very good player who should show [...]
