Dunno what made me post, really. As I became more obsessed with poker, I found myself blathering on with colleagues, loved ones, friends, etc. about the game. I'm quite sure I've convinced them all I have a gambling problem. =P Needed a support group, really.

I've been getting to know a lot of the same people from tournaments, and I enjoyed the sensation of cultivating an online persona. I wanted to get to know the folks at FTR that had taught me everything I know. I found the site through a search engine, looking for "poker strategy".

As for getting them to make their first post? *Shrug* If they like the taste of egg nog, they'll get around to it. Just wait for them to hit their first long rush- they will owe you all a "thanks" and an introduction.
