Wednesday, 11 June 2008 04:38

I can't remember last time I was so unlucky at the poker tables. I mean pushing my money at the right time at the right place, and not getting paid! That is surely frustrating. The graph below shows the hands that I was all-in, showing the expected winnings with red and the actual winnings with blue.

All in Luck

Now, tell me that isn't unlucky! Here's a remarkable hand without comments.

UTG ($1000)
MP ($4166.65)

I have also stopped publishing my daily profit or loss in the right top column since no one was really interested, considering the clicks on those links.

Who is Jimmakos

Jimmakos.comMy name is Jimmakos and I am a full time Gambler. I started playing blackjack in 2003 in the local casino until I wasn't allowed to enter.

Apart from gambling, I'm fascinated by the internet possibilities and I'm a little into blogging and web designing.
