Anyone having problems accessing the site over the last 24 hours should know that I was not raided by FBI. :-) The folks who handle my name server got DDoS’d and their upstream ISP took them offline in an effort to protect their other customers. The name server guys are trying to get things back up and running but there’s a chance of spotty outages as they move servers and get stuff humming along.

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.
