Delurking

by Bill Rini on December 21, 2006

in General Ramblings

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

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.

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

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.

2. Hey Bill, love your blog. (been lurking now about a year)
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.

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.

willythewise,

I’ve got a post coming up for for you.

Bill

15 Bill December 23, 2006 at 10:51 pm

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

16 Bill December 23, 2006 at 10:52 pm

Bobby,

Laziness and sloth are virtues in poker players.

Bill

17 Bill December 23, 2006 at 10:53 pm

Hey DonkeyPuncher,

Maybe we can hook up again at the next WPBT.

Bill

18 Bill December 23, 2006 at 10:54 pm

Mr. Subliminal,

I’m glad to see my plan for crippling the name tag market has succeeded.

Bill

19 Bill December 23, 2006 at 10:56 pm

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’.

21 Drizztdj January 2, 2007 at 6:19 am

I was looking up trans-sexual midget donkey riders on unicycles and got send here.

Care to comment?

22 Bill January 2, 2007 at 10:47 pm

TripJax,

That’s because, as you’re fully aware, this site is subversive, and the man is trying to keep you down.

Bill

23 Bill January 2, 2007 at 10:49 pm

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

24 M2 January 8, 2007 at 1:22 am

I just sent you $19.95 via Paypal. Where is my password?

25 Bill January 8, 2007 at 1:38 am

Mikey,

Sorry, the cost for a password is $19.96.

Bill
