TIme for a fresh start

It has been more than two years since I first initiated this attempt to blog on my poker life. Yes, poker LIFE is a good description for those of us who have forever discovered the world`s best sport- game of skill. I have previously called it the "game of life" though I was probably not the first in that regard. Poker is a sport-game a sane person can play all their life and compete no matter what their physical attributes, age, sex or religion (well, I guess SOME religions forbid it. Risk taking is against some peoples religions). Since my last posting here almost a year ago we have seen some revolutionary changes in the poker world with probably the most disruptive event being the USA governments highly ill advised attack on online poker via the shutdown of Full Tilt Poker, Pokerstars USA, and others on "Black Friday" in April 2011. I still have not recovered MY funds from Full Tilt...apparently no one has. This is simply a travesty of justice and in my opinion a totally unconstitutional powerplay by an inept and financially strapped USA government. Alas, desperate governments do desperate deeds. What this means to me is a FRESH START for "Latin American" poker playing. While all is not utopia in Latin American poker either...it still is more freewheeling and "juicy" than the USA scene right now. With LAPT, and other Latin poker tourneys growing and sustaining in size, I believe there is money to be made in the Latin Poker market(s), So...stay tuned...I have a few blogs halfway written that should help analyze a few issues related to poker...and playing in LATIN AMERICA! If only to help keep myself sane and analytical in the ups and downs of the poker process, I restart this blog... I hope you can benefit in the process from my experiences and observations.
