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.

I *heart* Phil Gordon.
Most of those are re-written from the Chuck Norris stuff that’s going around the internet lately… but still very, very funny. (I’d buy the bracelet.)
Also, as for the guy that wanted to win the Hooters contest… you’ll have to out-write ME in the future.
Sin,
The Guy That WON The Hooters Contest. =)
