I grew up playing Rook and Pitch with family and friends in Oklahoma, but when I got my own PC in 1998, I found a place online to play spades. I had never played it live, but I read the rules and jumped into a couple games and was hooked.

I've volunteered as both a Ladder Op and TD for Case's Ladder at Yahoo Spades, Head TD for Case's WorldPlay Spades, and TD at Rankmonster Hardwood Spades. Sometimes I take a short break and play in Yahoo Dominoes or YPool, but spades is my favorite game, online and live.
