So I Haven’t Blogged in a While, New Gigs, and the Upcoming WSOP

Time does fly by eh?  I haven’t posted anything on here since May of last year.  That is primarily my fault due to either being busy, or just not taking the time.   Part of it is honestly due to the fact that I blog so much in other places that it is hard to say anything here when I have pretty much said most of my poker commentary in other places that actually pay me for a living.

For those that don’t follow my Facebook or Twitter, quite a few things have been going on since last year.  The primary thing is that I am a primary blogger over at PokerJunkie.com.  I have been working over there since last year and usually crank out four short blogs a week plus any articles they throw my way or that I come up with.  Also, I provide some strategy articles now for PokerNetwork.com.  They are the Australian sister site to PokerNews.com.

Which brings me to my next update. I actually enjoyed my gig this past summer with PokerNews.  I was a recapper for the daily events and I worked with Hailey Hintze.  Sadly, she was let go shortly after the WSOP.  A lot of upheaval over there.    After my WSOP gig with PokerNews last summer,  I heard absolutely nothing from them since.  Not that surprising since the guy in charge of the reporting team was not very communicative.  I could make other speculations but it is irrelevant.  He doesn’t even work there anymore.  I may reapply but I am also waiting to see what other outlets I work for do.

For the most part, I am just continuing the grind of life as a freelance poker writer and content provider.  I have been fortunate to be able to work in the field as long as I have.  As far as this blog, I will start to update it a bit more as I am paying for the space, etc.  I will likely use it for personal poker exploits or other things I can’t talk about on other venues.

Speaking of which, go over to http://www.pokerjunkie.com/poker-blog/ and check out my blog.  I write under the handle compncards but we have several fantastic writers.  Well, except for Melissa Castello.  She sucks.  JUST KIDDING MEL!!
