Quick interview with JimPoker

August 2, 2006

Hey everyone!

I did an interview with “JimPoker”, a 24 year-old poker player from Finland. He’s the one who won for example LadBrokes $50,000 guaranteed on the other day which I reported here.

HSP: Why are you playing poker, and how long have you played?

JimPoker: I’ve played now about two years, mainly because I heard that there’s a lot of free money available. I was doing some sports betting before but didn’t really make any money with it.

HSP: What are the games you usually play (stakes, variation, etc.)?

JimPoker: I play mostly tournament with $109 buy-in, or $5/$10 NL Hold’em at LadBrokes, Party Poker, Poker Stars and some other rooms.

HSP: Are you doing anything else besides poker for living? What are the good/bad things in it?

JimPoker: I’m a student but I make my living off poker. Good things are definitely the certain freedom & access to bigger income. A bad thing is that I’m sitting so much in front of the computer.

HSP: Have you won any other bigger tournaments?

JimPoker: I’ve won Party’s saturday $300+$20, the $50,000 guaranteed and then some smaller tournaments on CryptoLogic-network and Prima-network.

HSP: When did you decide to play poker ’seriously’?

JimPoker: I started right off pretty seriously from microlimits because I wanted to make money quickly.

HSP: Have you read any poker books, if you have did they help you at all?

JimPoker: I’m not really into reading books, they just sit in the self all the time. Harrington’s Volume 1 is the only book that I’ve read a little longer, but didn’t finish it. I think books can help if you’re just starting up, but now a bit later it’s hard to find the right motivation.

Thank you JimPoker for this interview, we appreciate it! Good luck in your future games!

No serious poker today to report. Prima had some $100/$200 NL 6-handed but it’s hard to report when the game is 6-handed, not so much action. Anyway I want to say that “biocid” was the big winner, leaving with $120,000 when the buy-in was only $20,000. As I watched it, he mostly won pots worth like $5,000-$15,000, nothing big that should be reported.
