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.

Forget the gangster bankroll. If you want to really impress people at the table, go ahead and buy into the game with a giant pickle jar full of loose change. Just sit down at the table and turn it upside down right there, then count it out while the runner is standing there with your chips waiting. Try to make sure the entire game is shut down while you count. Lose your place a couple times and start over. If anyone at the table complains, pelt them with pennies.
Watch the whole table insta-tilt!!
Uh oh. Sounds like someone has tried the pickle jar strategy before :-)
