Been some time since I picked a major hobby. Now sounds like a good time. And what better than Poker.
I was first introduced to poker way back in 2005 when I went to a trek with few classmates from MDI. There we met some guys from IIMA and they apparently were big on poker. We played for a while and it seemed interesting. Back from the trek, read bits about it and then lost interest as poker required other players and all.
Fast forward to 2009. Now that I work for myself, I have some bit of free time. And I plan to use this time in picking up a new hobby. Poker sounds like a good one. It teaches you discipline, odds, patientce, respect for competition, history, maths and lots of other things.
Kick started things by downloading these two (1, 2) documentaries on poker and starting this FB group. Any takers anyone?
And if this is a convincing enough a reason, WEB and Bill apparently are kick-ass poker players. May be I get to rub shoulders with them on a green table? :)

Any good links, books to learn Poker for a n00b? I sometimes feel I wasted my two years at MDI without learning the game. :(
And oh, Poker was big in MDI when I was there.
Really? We only played teen patti. There are some good links but best place to start is Wikipedia ;p
And do join in the FB group :)
