Hi all - just signed up, nice to be part of the forum here, I think I'll learn a lot.

I started a poker blog on the main blog site for Fairfax Media in New Zealand.

I work as the Deputy Sports Editor for a newspaper here - have a long background in the media and in sports betting.

Am a relative noob to the poker world - followed it for a few years and decided to wait til I had enough time to commit to getting involved with the game, so have cut down the amount of time I dedicate to sports betting.

Hence, my blog is aimed chiefly at new players/rookies and those keen to get started. I don't intend to tell anyone how to play as I'm still feeling my way myself.

I aim to keep it entertaining, with my tongue firmly in cheek.

Would appreciate any advice along the way from forum regulars here.

Cheers
