Now with Party as a public company, the mainstream press is starting to take a more serious look at the economics of the industry rather than focusing on college kids making $90,000.

Wow, the headline writers can be so witty sometimes).

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.

After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
