Jim Meehan - Poker Legend
|
"Minneapolis" Jim Meehan is the only poker pro to win a World Series Of Poker event and a World Championship Of Online Poker event in the same year. He is also one of the greatest poker personalities, and playing against him is an experience you will never forget.
Jim Meehan is a former attorney who gave up his legal career to become a full-time poker player, much like another WSOP champion, Mark Seif. Minneapolis Jim as he is affectionately known is a force to be reckoned with in Vegas cash games and all major tournaments. In 2003 he became the only player to win a bracelet at the World Series Of Poker as well as a World Championship of Online Poker tournament. He is a dominant online poker player, which is no surprise since his poker skills are second to none.
In live-games Jim relies on disarming, non-stop chatter to render his opponents helpless, or at least vulnerable to his highly aggressive style of play. When opponents make a bad play he is quick to announce to the table that "we are all God's children". Deep down it seems that nothing could be further from the truth in his mind. When he tells you that he "swears on the eyes of his unborn grandchildren" that he had you beaten in a hand, you could be forgiven for a moment of doubt. What cannot be doubted is that he is very entertaining to play against, and his excellent results in a variety of big money tournaments over the past 3 years show that he is one of the top poker players in the world today.
Last year he made it to the final table of a World Poker Tour event at the Mirage, and this year he was at another final table in the WSOP. He also cashed in the main event, an achievement in itself.
