Bill Ricardi - Brave Little Toaster

So I'm getting settled in Northern Ireland. We move into the new place this weekend, and then I need to figure out which poker house I'm going to be working for, if they want me at all.

The one I really, really want seemed to be almost a sure thing. The software developers and poker pros from the site know me and like me. I've done articles with a couple of the pros, and interviewed a couple more. They seemed to like my web content and my activity in the community.

But then I got a mysterious message. They may want me for 'another position', one other than web content. And then they went as quiet as a sub sitting under a destroyer, not telling me another thing. Interviews start in a few days, and I'm on pins and needles. Do they want an affiliate program manager? Virtual cardroom manager? Business and marketing lead? I can do it all, but with no prep and no research to do, I'm eating myself alive here.

In other news, I zeroed out my bankroll for the move, and I'm getting ready to get back into the swing of things. I haven't decided how much I'll be setting aside for this bankroll. I'll be sticking to my normal bankroll formula: No more than 4% to 5% on a single tournament, have more than 250-400 big bets for limit, have more than 1500 to 2000 big blinds for no limit.

But this time, I'm going to have a real job, so rather than grind it out at limit, I'm going to do what I'm best at: Huge multi table tournaments. To get geared up, I won a few freerolls, which bodes well for my donk-detection powers and endurance. But it was only a few bucks, so I tried and failed a couple of rampages.

The only time I'll play limit is to clear bonuses. The only time I'll play no limit is if there's a tempting fishbowl that I can't keep my paws out of. For the most part, we're talking about 4 to 5 hour MTT's, at least 3 times a week.

I think I'll restict myself to one poker site with my main bankroll, only playing on others if I win a freeroll or get free money there. I'll research the sites after I get my job and first paycheck.

Anyway, that's it for now. What's coming up after the WSOP is over: I think I have an interview with Erik S. to arrange. I think I want to nab Rafe for an interview, but only if he accepts an invitation I extended to him recently! I'm working on an interesting article on Swiss Bank accounts and their use in poker, but I'm going to hold off on it, there may be interest by a company that hires me, and then it will become their I.P. Peace out!
