"The secret of getting ahead is getting started" (Mark Twain)

Oooh, well, here we go, then: I have never done a blog before ... though one of my forum threads did get to nearly 200 pages ...

So ... why a poker blog, anyway? My reasons will perhaps sound pretty arrogant (but we can always blame my poor translation skills for that), so here they are, as they stand at the moment: I can play a bit to start with, I like the game and think I ought to be able to become good at it (I can play bridge and backgammon both to not-far-short of international standard - for Baltic blondes, anyway - and I have great patience and discipline); I have quite a lot of books about it and have even been reading one or two of them (I will probably review some of them on the way through this blog); I spend a lot of time online anyway for both parts of my work and there's no harm in a bit of interactive online recreation; and I fancied trying a blog anyway (they are easy to delete if you change your mind!) and did not want to do one on horse-race betting or prime number theory, and especially not one on the works of Peteris Vasks, greatest living composer though he may be, because I could never do him justice ...

There'll be more (probably) ...
