Introduction

My name is Joe and this is my blog. I recently, along with numerous others, caught the poker bug and play as "bntwn" at FullTilt.com. I have accounts with a few other sites as well, but for the purposes of this blog will solely focus on play on FT.
I am a 20yr+ service industry employee and currently grind away at that as well as poker, but would love to make poker my main interest. This story is not new and mine is certainly not unique and that is, in a sense, the purpose of this blog. I wanted an opportunity and a forum for average joes (like myself) to discuss poker.
I play relatively low limits i.e. .10/.25 tables either 6 or 9-handed. I have, when things are going my way, gone up to 1/2 and 2/4, but that is probably not the norm. I do regularly play in online tourneys as well. I stick to NoLimit HoldEm, and on occassion will mix in some Limit, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, but, again not the norm. The long and the short is that probably most of the discussion in this blog will center around NoLimit HoldEm.
This is also my first crack at blogging. If things seem a little low-rent to begin with I apologize, and certainly welcome any advice and or comments to improve and impress.
I should also mention that I am giant (higher than average) Boston sports fan and may, on occassion, digress with some sport related comments that will probably have an eastern bias. I hope this won't deter anyone from participating. Sports is often my haven when poker becomes "challenging".

Virtually Yours,
Joe
