Couldn’t find any juicy games when I logged into Paradise so I played a $5 + $1 SNG. Took first place. My strategiology? I played almost no hands for the first 3 orbits. When I did take down my first hand it was pretty beefy and then I just sat back and only played the monster-type hands. I was kind of surprised when we got down to the last four players because they went ultra-passive. A jack shows up on the flop and you bet out from the small blind and the table folds. I used that to my advantage whenever I had anything better than 72 and I took down every single one of the last four players. Normally I would be scared shitless when someone pushes all in but at a limit table they’re going all in on the flop with no pair and high cards. Regardless, I still love their money :-) I made some major boo-boos though. Fortunately, the table was passive enough that I could bet my way out of them.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
