Wednesday of this past week, a long standing online poker friend of mine died in a car accident.  I wrote a blog in tribute to him on CardRunners.  I am driving up to Seattle Sunday, after I set up both Poker Curious freerolls on Full Tilt and PowerPoker.  The service is Monday morning and I will drive the three hours back home afterwards.  I wanted to represent his numerous online poker friends from around the country that he touched and influenced over the years.  To me the most powerful and compelling aspects of my love of poker have been the friends and connections I have made.  The desire for community created around a shared love of poker is what caused me to create Poker Curious.  I appreciate all of you who are helping build our community at Poker Curious.
