Everyone can write their own poker blog without any particular knowledge on how to create a website. There are many free blogging services which allow you to start a personal weblog just in a few minutes.
Why should every poker player have their own blog? Here are 10 main reasons:
1. Socializing with peers. Every poker player should communicate with the other players. Sometimes with people they don't even know. Blog is a perfect way to approach them all.
2. Sharing poker experience with the others. When you see a driver who's still learning to drive, you always remember your own experience when you just got your drivers license. Poker players should also share their basic experience with the beginners.
3. Analyzing one's play. When you lose having AA, you might want to ask yourself, what has just happened? When writing a blog a question is not enough, you must tell your readers WHY did it happen. Therefore you need to analyze your play and try to learn from your mistakes. Blog is a perfect way to share this "loud thinking" or "brainstorming" with the others.
4. Boasting. While playing poker live or online, the players sometimes meet some celebrities and in some cases even bust them out. The world must know about the failures of their beloved poker celebrities against the humble and unknown players. A blog is like a billboard where you can shout out loud - I knocked out Phil Ivey at the last Sunday's FT tournament!
5. Asking for advice. Blogs usually have some particular audience of readers, who can help you in all kinds of life situations. Poker is played by car dealers, electricians, programmers, lawyers who can definitely help you if you just ask, no matter if it's a poker related issue or not.
