We got the local casino to set us up a tournament Tuesday night. £20 buy-in with £10 rebuys. I didn’t make it too far past the first break. Worst moment though was when I got slow rolled by someone who hardly even plays the game.
Hand comes down with me holding top pair and a good kicker. I’m betting all the way and just getting called. I turn up my cards and my opponent shows a six to make a pair. As I’m starting to reach towards the pot she smiles and flips up a second pair. She flopped two pair and called me down to the river and then slow rolled me!
So with nothing to do I head on over to the Black Jack tables. I buy in for £300 and they give me three cheques. I battle away for a bit but finally run my original £300 up to £1100. By the end of the night I cash out for £600 for a £300 profit. I almost made as much as the guy who won the tournament!

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.
