    ...I'll be working and writing for Paddy Powers Poker team.

    I know the rules around here about full disclosure (they are, after all, my rules) but I see this as a great opportunity for the community here to direct and feedback to PP about the site and what you guys want. I know there are a few issues already, and I'll see if I cant get answers to them.

    Since its such a small community, I thought I'd let you all know myself rather then have the rumour mill start. Obviously I'm chuffed, I've always wanted to write for a living and obviously I'm bonkers about poker so it makes a good match up!

    Congrats, you lucky devil. Was just thinking to myself last night that marketing for the Fitz or an Irish poker organisation would be my dream job! Don't get quite as excited as I used to writing about 'business-critical data' or 'enterprise-wide' whatever...congrats again :)

    Does that mean antesup is no more? Or is it now PP sponsored?

    Antesup will certainly continue as a personal project, so far I've enjoyed writing it thoroughly but maintaining the recent level of output needs time and effort. Especially if you are trying to entertain as well as simply blog your last game. This week has been a disaster from that point of view because of the amount of getting sorted out I've had to do what with leaving one job and getting myself sorted for another.
    I'll be trying to maintain 1-2 articles a week and maybe some from guest writers too.

    In reality there is a huge amount of change in the pipeline and its a very exciting time to be working with someone like Paddy Powers in this industry. I just didnt want anyone saying I didnt let you all know up front! :)

    DeV.

    ps: Dub13, I believe there is a signing up free credit yes :p:p
