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.

“If you’re an online poker player and haven’t ponied up the $20 membership fee, you suck!”
Nope, I don’t suck, they suck…well they don’t really suck, but their online support is horrible. I wanted to join weeks ago as this whole thing could have worldwide consequences. I filled in the form and all…and got a lovely error – as I’m outside the US none of the states they provide are valid for me, duh. So not applicable it is and no matter what I put in the other state field it’s “* Other State: This field takes letters (A-Z upper/lowercase), numbers (0-9), spaces, and apostrahies only.”…oooh really, I guess I must be using hieroglyphics or something…hmm…so maybe you want me to select “[Other: specify below]” and then put my state in…”* Other State: This field takes letters (A-Z upper/lowercase), numbers (0-9), spaces, and apostrahies only.”…hmm…so maybe you want me to leave it blank…”* Other State: This field takes letters (A-Z upper/lowercase), numbers (0-9), spaces, and apostrahies only.”…okay f-this.
…so what can I do? Yup, mail their support…acknowledgement that they received my message at all: zilch…reply: zilch…
