Cecilia Nordenstam Not very well known in the US but she’s been very successful in Europe. In 1995 she had 5th and 13th place finishes in the Five Star World Poker Tour Classic. She also seems pretty camera shy but I was able to find this one from LasVegasVegas. |

How Did Poker Players Make Out in This Election?







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.

Thanks for doing your best posts list Bill. I’d never have seen this without it :). I’ll be googling Helen Chamberlain in a minute :). On a side note, how’s your arm Bill? I haven’t visited the blog for a while, (been really busy), so have kind of lost touch. How everything’s good.
@James: Thanks for asking. The arm is good. 100%. :-)
