I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a veryHappy New Year! Each year at this time I sit down and reflect on the past year and make plansfor the year to come. Last year proved to be a very difficult time for alldecent human beings around the world. The tragic events of September 11thtouched the lives of everyone on this planet. I want to extend my thoughtsand prayers to everyone who lost a loved one or was injured in the attack.It's often hard to find something good in the face of a senseless tragedy,but to see many countries around the world unite to bring an end to terrorismis a positive sign. I am optimistic for the year ahead. Setting Goals. Many people make New Years resolutions but I prefer to set goals. One ofmy top goals each year is to make this site as informative as I can. Thisyear, along with articles about the games, I will be writing more book andproduct reviews to help you make a decision before you buy. As I have donein the past, I will never recommend a product that I have not used or believein. I enjoy teaching people how to get the most out of their casino visits. Thebest part about writing about the games and traveling to casino destinationsis that I usually learn something as well, either through my research foran article or from the feedback that comes from you. In January of 2000 I made the decision to learn how to play Texas Hold'emand shared my experiences with you as I learned the game. This proved tobe one of the most enjoyable and profitable projects I have undertaken. Afterplaying standard casino games for the last 20 years, casino poker openeda whole New World to me. This year I will continue to share my experienceswith you as I work to improve my game, and help those of you who would liketo give casino poker a try. I will also have a major announcement a littlelater in the year related to learning how to play casino poker. How about you? Have you set any goals for the New Year? Maybe this is the year you would like to learn how to play a new casino game.Its fun and it will add a new dimension to your casino visits. Those of youwho only play slots may want to learn how to play video poker or a tablegame. Players who already play the table games may want to learn a new game.Kitchen table poker players may want to to try their hand at casino poker.Many times we get stuck playing the same old game. It's nice to be able tohave a little variation, especially if you will be spending a few days ina casino destination. I want to remind you to keep a gambling log for tax purposes. This may bethe year you hit a jackpot over $1,200 that will require the casino to giveyou a W-2G form. It's easy to start a log at the beginning of a New Year,so today is the day to start yours. Once again I wish you all a very Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year! Nomatter what games you play in the casino, I hope you have fun!! Until next time,remember:
