Sorry for the late post today… I was hoping to be able to announce something new to the site but that will have to wait.

Regardless, check tomorrow and Friday because there are still a few new column writers left to debut and some other stuff to intro.

TODAY THOUGH, we welcome Matthew Hochban to the site. Matt brings an international flavor to LaB, hailing from the great white north.

I’ve been playing cards for as long as I can remember. My grandfather taught me draw and stud poker when I was just 5 years old. My cousins, my brother, and I were all hooked from that point on and we played all the time at my grandfather’s house every Sunday. I didn’t get introduced to Hold Em until much later in life, right after I turned 18. Needless to say, it has been a bumpy ride, but I can feel like I can hold my own now. I keep studying the game and reflecting upon previous hands I’ve played(whether I won or lost them). I’m currently a dealer at the local casino. It’s never dull, great pay, and I enjoy it wholeheartedly. I much prefer cash games to tournaments, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the odd freezeout here and there.
