Hi Everyone:

It was exactly 30 years ago that I published our first book and Two Plus Two began. Ironically, Two Plus Two is an accidental business since the publisher that was supposed to do my initial book had gone bankrupt leaving the burden on me to get the book out.

And ten years later in 1997 we started this website. In the beginning we thought it was 50/50 we would get a post, which seems amazing given that we have had over 50 million of them.

So thanks to everyone who has participated here and a special thanks to all of you that have helped us do all of this.

Best wishes,
Mason

Impressive that the website has been around for 20 years now. I can't believe it's already been 10 years since I found it.

Nice work and congrats on the anniversary.

Happy Anniversary @Mason, 30 years of success teaching people how to play poker alongside the leading forum for the industry is a massive achievement.

Looking forward to another 10 years!

Wow, congrats. I don't know if this could possibly be determined, but I wonder what percentage of websites that were around in 1997 still exist today?

Got a little curious to see what the page looked like back in the day. The Wayback Machine had the answer:

Hi Everyone:

In addition to what I stated above, our first Two Plus Two PokerCast was Jan 2, 2008. So we're almost at a 10 year anniversary there as well. Also, for those interested, the first show can be found here:

http://pokercast.twoplustwo.com/list....php?episode=1

Also, this was not the first show that Mike and Adam did. What happened was that their show Rounders Radio, which had already been around (pun intended) for a couple of years, joined Two Plus Two in the beginning of 2008.

And to add a little more, our Two Plus Two Online Poker Strategy Magazine began in January of 2005. So our Internet magazine has been part of Two Plus Two for over 12 years.

Best wishes,
Mason
