I’m now ready to announce the launch of my newest blog – Paul Ryburn’s Poker Blog<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I got the idea for this blog last Saturday, when I played two large tournaments on PokerStars.\u00a0 I had a notebook handy and took notes on hands where I made mistakes, hands I played well, and any other observations I had about the play of the game.\u00a0 Afterward I thought, “I’m going to play more tournaments – maybe I should type all my notes into a Word document, so I have them all in one place.”<\/p>\n

But then I looked over the notes, and thought, why not make them a blog?\u00a0 That way, other people can read my notes as well, and we can all learn together.\u00a0 So I set up WordPress in a new folder and got busy.\u00a0 A week later, after a lot of tweaks to WordPress’s Atahualpa theme (which is VERY cool by the way), it’s ready for public viewing.<\/p>\n

This will allow me to talk about poker more, without boring the 90% of my readership on this blog who don’t care about the game.\u00a0 I have posts scheduled daily for the next week.\u00a0 At some point I’ll probably slow down to every other day.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy the new blog – and don’t worry, I don’t plan on it slowing down the post schedule on this blog at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
