The Death of Poker Media?

Proof That Online Poker Is Rigged!
Zynga Ready for Real Money Gaming or Trying to Hide Failures?This weekend marks the third WPBT Winter Classic in Vegas. Up until this event I had seen every Winter and Summer classic since inception (and even won one). And dammit if I’m not pissed that I couldn’t make it this year. I wanted to but I had just put way too may hours in an airplane seat the last couple of months to want to jump on yet another 11 hour flight. That and asking for more time off at a job you’ve just started after flying back to LA for an extended weekend for a funeral would have been pushing it a little too far.
I received a dial-a-shot call from Iggy and Amy but at 7am local time I guess I completely tuned out the ringing of the phone. I hadn’t thought about the WPBT event much as it was always a 1-outer for me to be able to go this year. Now I have to say that I hate all of you people for having fun. Damn you.
I will be back though. The next Summer Classic awaits.

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 was told some people drank too much.
But we won’t mention names of course.
Missed you Billy Legend. So did the Dealertainers.
