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.

While not as outlandish as the above examples, my favorite is Stolzman’s WPT win. When he spoke with his mom on his dad’s cellphone at the end was truly a highlight for me.
I would add the 2004 Razz event where Dutch Boyd continues to bluff into TJ Cloutier, oblivious to the fact that TJ knows he has him board-locked while fellow crew-member and superior poker player Scott Fischman accurately reads Cloutier’s hand from the sideline.
No Mattis Anderson? DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I’d have clocked him if I was over 10 drinks in.
