Should I go pro?
No. If you have to ask a bunch of strangers on a message board, you don’t have the self reliance needed to be a professional player.
I’m 12 years old and going to Vegas with my parents next month. Are there any poker rooms that won’t card me?
None of them will until you try to cash out.
Do I suck?
Yes.
What’s the best online poker room?
Whichever one you’re playing at. What’s your screen name?
Do you play this any differently?
Depends.
Do I have to pay taxes on my poker winnings?
No. Just renounce your citizenship and move to a county that has no personal income tax.
Is online poker rigged?
Did I miss any bets here with a flopped full house?
Yes. You should have roshambo’d the dude for $50 on the river.
What’s the best book to learn poker?
Harry Potter and the Rivered Flush
Am I a fish?
Yes.
How long can a bad run last?
Forever
Who’s the hottest female poker player?
Your mom.

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.

Bill, you’re on fire lately. Nice work.
I have recently opened the can of online blogging. I never knew so many people were online talking about poker (and other worthless stuff). I only picked up poker about a year ago. I know “where have you been kid?” However, I found your site and really appreciate all the work you do for online blogging. Your name is everywhere out here. And you do an excellent job. Thanks!
