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 misread it at first, and thought that I could only submit my own work. Then I realized my error, doh, and felt like a fool.
Next time I’ll submit only the awesome work of others (and there is a ton out there).
Thanks for all of your hard work, Bill!
Thanks for the inclusion, and like Felicia I missed the deal about submitting other’s work.
