Just a quick update on the story about Bodog founder, Calvin Ayre’s, bust:
Unfortunately for the police the raid was a bust. The agents arrived at the Bodog Compound on unfounded suspicions of illegal gambling. It now seems that these suspicions were based solely on an inaccurate article published in a Costa Rican tabloid newspaper, which erroneously reported on aspects of the Forbes magazine article that features Mr. Ayre as the subject of its cover story.

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.
