G'day mates
I just logged onto my email and found this message waiting for me I am very pleased. Honestly I did not think I would get chosen.
Hi Leonard,
I'm happy to announce that you have been selected to blog for BankrollMob in 2014! I hope that you are still up for it and that you can send your first post in the next few days (feel free to attach pictures - we hope to publish your first blog post sometime next week). Do you want everyone to see your name, age, country etc on the blog page? Maybe a profile picture?
Have a great day!
BR, Thomas Wåhlin BankrollMob.com
Best wishes to you all be cool
Ronin

Sorry magatt, I asked BRM to withdraw my candidacy. For now I don't want to advertise my online results in a regular way, although I will continue to post hands and participate in the forum. Sometimes I regret the digital fingerprint I am leaving through BRM and FB, but what's done is done.

Well I got very Gung Ho about getting things started, so I already sent the 1st official blog post to Sir Thomas. It was about 6 pages total in length. I even included the first 2 pages of The Bluff - A Poker Short Story. Some of you might remember Steve and his plight, Well things for Steve are going to pick up again and I will either turn it into a full blown adventure novel of wrap things up for him very quickly then move on to another story. I think I will let the fans decide his fate. What do you all think? Should Steve live or die?

I wish you a lot of fun and interesting informations for your blog! A blog can give you the motivation for your poker play and to talk about your adventures at the table can help you against a tilt.

this is something I'm thinking about more and more often. I's a very persistent reasoning on what to write or not. Almost everyday during the last few months I'm wondering if I have to shut down my FB account. Not that I have something to hide in my life but ....don't know...I feel something is wrong with all this digital living.

Congratulations ronin. Lets see what will come out of this experiment
The more you are into the sharing the more every one can find anything about you. Even if you share info only with persons you trust online, you can never be sure.
And yet i believe that this will only make it a bit harder for someone looking out for your info.

Well magatt966 my friend that was absolutely GREAT Talk about a real eye opener LOL It really made me smile. Just think about the possibilities to meet hot men or women. You get there name from someone, look them up on face book, learn all about them and then just happen to sit down beside them in a coffee shop knowing all about them. You wait a few minutes then calmly look over and say excuse me you look very familiar, I think I might have met you once a few years back at a Xmas party, is your name Andrea? She hesitantly says yes, you immediately apologize for having never called her back after the Xmas party, you say it is not because you never wanted too it is because you lost your wallet over the holidays and her number was in the wallet. You then ask her if see still has the cat she mentioned to you, a cat you know she has had for 10 or more yes.. snuggles I think you might have told me he called. She says OMG yes snuggles I still have him he is doing great or whatever. Bam you are in there, wow Andrea I can not believe I still remember all this it really feels like we made some deep connection at that Xmas party, but I am thinking that you do not even remember me. I think perhaps I should just be going, I mean I really do not want to bother you. I hope your dad is doing better, I think you were worried about being sick. If her dad had been sick but got better, then there is no way in hell she is letting you walk out of her life again after just finding someone who she obviously made a real connection with once before, she feels stupid for not remembering you but she will want to get to know you again right now.
Hmmm I think I need to look a few women up on facebook
to Steve,time for new stories.....
