I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all of you, to everyone who reads here. When I re-launched the blog in January, I never imagined that it would be closing in on 6,000 hits by mid-July, but here we are. In just the past week alone, there’s been more than 300 visits, which is overwhelming to me. I know that I’ve essentially written a short novel on my Las Vegas trip and World Series of Poker experience, but it’s still very flattering to me how many of you have read it and either left comments, sent me an email, or spoken to me about it in person. It’s very humbling to know how many of you are now regular readers, and I’m very thankful for your return visits.

I had a friend last week tell me that he was hesitant to leave comments on here because of what I may respond. I know that ‘Poker Sean’ or ‘Sarcastic Comedy Sean’ is someone that you all know, but please rest assured that if you read here, and post here, ‘Blog Writer Sean’ is extremely appreciative of all readers, and your comments here, positive or negative, are always welcome. Any suggestions you have on how to improve or change the blog are welcome as well.

I mentioned a while back that I’m hoping to build a community here with the comments section, so hopefully more people will be inspired to leave a comment from time to time.

Thanks again, and happy reading!
