Jenn’s Corner: Women’s League

May 30th, 2011

Wow, it’s been a while since I wrote a proper Jenn’s Corner. I know the updates have been slower than I’d like, but thank you everyone for sticking through this with us. We’ve got a few projects going on that we can announce in the summer and I promise (again) that we’ll be updating more regularly here as well.

Jenn’s Corner: Mahjong in 2011

Jan 20th, 2011

I have played live mahjong exactly 3 times so far this year. I’m on my way to play Mahjong Fight Club now (literally as soon as I post this for tomorrow’s publishing), but games are very different than playing live. So far I’ve played at League (4 games), at North-Kanto League (4 games) and at the make-up session I played for North-Kanto League. Basically I went from really crappy to crappy to not bad at all.

Jenn’s Corner: Waste of Time

OK, time is moving way too fast. There are too many deadlines, too many tournaments, too much gaming and testing, too many updates and not enough time in any day of the week. Not to mention handling our own homes and lives, if you can imagine that those things even exist.

Jenn’s Corner: Other Games

As I write this, Garthe is on his way to Macau for a poker tournament. I’ll be joining him shortly, although I’ll mostly be covering the event and working, not playing. On the other hand, if I have time, I’ll definitely jump at the chance to play a few hands in the cash games and maybe even the ladies’ event.

Jenn’s Corner: Out of Practice

Oct 25th, 2010

I have to play mahjong everyday to keep my game up. When I had the parlor last year, I was playing about 8 hours of real mahjong everyday. My game was better then than it has ever been. Lately I’ve been playing real mahjong once or twice a week, I play Mahjong Fight Club between 2 and 5 times per week, and I play online on Ron2 and Mahjong Club. It feels like I never play.

Jenn’s Corner: It’s All Over

Wow, how long has it been since I wrote a Jenn’s Corner?! Things were so incredibly hectic with the WSOM and my other work keeping me busy that I left most of the site up to Gemma and the rest of the team. In the end we had a great series and things have finally settled down.

Jenn’s Corner: I Blew It

Feb 24th, 2010

I wanted to wait until after the North Kanto League to write this month’s column. Now I wish that time hadn’t come. Last month I wrote about all of the opportunities I had and how scared I was of losing these chances this month. Well, my worst fear came true.

Jenn’s Corner: Pressure

Jan 15th, 2010

For the first time since I joined JPML, I feel like I am playing well. It feels great, but it also feels horrible. The potential there is huge, and I feel like knowing me, I’ll get really close and then lose it. (more…)

Jenn’s Corner: Interview

Dec 22nd, 2009
by jenn

I honestly believe that JPML is the best mahjong league in the world. When I first joined in 2006, the JPML website was in desperate need of a makeover. About a year later, it got that makeover and now our site is booming.

Jenn’s Corner: Book Corrections

Nov 17th, 2009

First of all, thank you to everyone who bought my book. It was a 2 years project and all of the positive feedback and support has been extremely encouraging. We all want more players and more places to play Reach Mahjong and hopefully this book will help take a few steps in that direction.
It is my first book and the first edition and inevitably, a few places were overseen in the edit. Thanks to the help of loyal readers 5 of these have been brought to my attention and I’ve addressed them all below. Hopefully this will clear everything up and make the book even more useful.
