Full Tilt Poker being sued by WSOP player?

OK, so I was looking around for the best poker room to join (which is gonna be a long job but that's another story) and came across this news story on CNN.

Apparently, "Phil Ivey says he won't compete in the 2011 World Series of Poker in protest of the event sponsor, Full Tilt."

But Full Tilt don't seem to be taking this lying down, their response being:  ""Contrary to his sanctimonious public statements, Phil Ivey's meritless lawsuit is about helping just one player -- himself." Blimey! This one could run on for a while.

If you want to read the full story, here it is on CNN

I'll be back to update on my progress soon.

Online Poker: The Journey Begins....

Guess I'd better start with a quick intro. My name's Kevin Bergsson and the purpose of this blog is to record my thoughts in a journey which I'm hoping to make in the world of online poker. I know a couple of people who play online poker professionally - i.e. its their #1 source of income. And basically, I want in!!!

Now I class myself as a fish because I've never played online before, but I do have some experience of the game from playing socially in the real world so I'm not a complete novice. But you have to accept that playing online and playing in real life are totally different, you need different skills and mindset to succeed.

So anyway, that's me and that's what I want to achieve. Hope to hear from any of you who are in the same boat, and hope you find the journey interesting. This time next year, it could be time to quit the day job. Certainly hope so!
