I always get emails and/or meet people and they say “Hey, I’ve been reading your blog for years.” Yet, I’ve never seen those folks comment on any post. Let’s change that. If you’re a regular, semi-regular, or even irregular reader – either pop me an email or post a comment here to introduce yourself.
Need a topic? Here’s a few ideas:
1. Post your blog
2. Post a short hello and introduction
3. Post how long you’ve been playing and what limits you play at
4. Ask a question you’ve been meaning to ask

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’m a member/moderator at http://www.fulltiltforum.com.
Been playing poker for about 1.5 years. I play low limits still even though my bankroll can support a little higher.
My friend and I host a private tournament series on FTP called the Pokerslut Tour on Sunday nights. Check out http://www.pokersluttourleader.blogspot.com for more information.

2. Hi Bill! Been reading you for a while.
3. Poker since I was a kid. We played at the holidays. Don’t really play much now.
4. Naah… keep up the good work!
Hey Bill, been reading you a while and I have you linked up at my blog http://www.steelnuts.blogspot.com. Love the photo caption contests, but nobody is going to beat your caption for the latest one (#22? Joe hachem and Sabina Godecki). Hilarious.
Keep up the good work!
Don’t listen to anything gadzooks64 says, she’s delerious on cough medicine right now (that should be good for an angry phone call at least).
Been reading your blog occasionally for a year or so but more regularly since adding it to Bloglines. Thanks for reprinting the PPA announcements as they don’t always get e-mail out to the membership.
Retired low limit yahoo here. Just as I start to learn one game I seem to get bored and take up another. At this rate I should be able to move up in limits by sometime in 2017.

More notes from abroad. Differences? Simularitiies?
hi
Ok Bill, I guess I am now delurked!
I have been lurking for at least a couple years and enjoy reading you. I have made a VERY feeble attempt to be a bigger part of the blogging community, but laziness and sloth prevail! Happy Holidays
bobby
Big fan of what you’re doing here.
Happy Holidays Bill!
I used to be in the nametag business but went broke thanks to you.
‘Nuff said.

3. Been playing for about 5 years seriously. I play mostly 4/8 and 8/16 LHE and 1/2 NL.
4. I’m sure I have questions, just can’t think of any right now.
gadzooks64,
Yeah, I’ve seen the Poker Sluts stuff before. Look fun.
Bill
Joe,
Yeah, long time no see, eh?
Just to intro Joe, we know each other from the old dotcom days. Good technology mind, very bright, and a nice guy.
Bill
lynx56,
Reach for your dreams :-)
Bill
willythewise,
I’ve got a post coming up for for you.
Bill
SirFWALGMan,
It’s a true pleasure having you as a reader :-) Anybody who could tilt Hanel the way you did is okay in my book.
Bill
Bobby,
Laziness and sloth are virtues in poker players.
Bill
Hey DonkeyPuncher,
Maybe we can hook up again at the next WPBT.
Bill
Mr. Subliminal,
I’m glad to see my plan for crippling the name tag market has succeeded.
Bill
NoBlackAces,
Well, if you make another run at the Barcelona tourney, give me a holler. It’s a hop, skip and a jump for me.
Bill
I rarely get a chance to comment because your site is blocked at my work. I can read you thru google’s rss reader, but can’t click through to comment…
Keep up the good bloggin’.
I was looking up trans-sexual midget donkey riders on unicycles and got send here.
Care to comment?
TripJax,
That’s because, as you’re fully aware, this site is subversive, and the man is trying to keep you down.
Bill
Drizz,
Just ask for the password (and send me $19.95) and I’ll let you into the trans-sexual midget donkey riders on unicycles section. I’ve got the best TSMDRoU stuff on the entire internet.
Bill
I just sent you $19.95 via Paypal. Where is my password?
Mikey,
Sorry, the cost for a password is $19.96.
