I read the the filings out of curiosity / pure boredom. Like many excellent poker players it seems she is/was also a card counter. It also said she succesfully sued a casino that attempted to prosecute her. Based on the posting yesterday on her blog id hazard a guess that might be the rio.

Pretty BS seizure in Atlanta. Scary stuff traveling with large amounts of cash these days. DEA agents can seize money with no evidence of criminal activity. That happened to viffer last year too.

"Pumping money into the pot on any street with a weaker hand then your opponent's range is burning money, plain and simple. It's an ego mistake,"

----agree, but we all have made those mistakes in poker. So, Matt, don't be too hard on yourself. As long as you learn from your mistakes, then everything will get better and better.

MM: Recently I’ve been doing a ton of studying. I just started taking heads up coaching from Doug Polk (WCGRider) and have had to put a ton of hours in at the library. It’s like a new language to me, learning all of these new ranges and the nuances of a new game. But I’m moving to Vancouver in August so I needed to find a way to beat online poker and Doug is one of the very best at what he does. Very lucky to have him helping me out, making the reverse transition from live to online player.
WAIT WHAT!!

Re: Another kid Another dream tl;dr

a hand with said ice box:

5/10 NL
1200 eff stax

straddle to 20, icebox utg makes it 60, i make it 160 w AA, short stack shoves for 400.... folds to ice who shoves over (she is sitting on 5kish) i call, flop A88

cool story bro...

ive played a few times with her and i think she, along with a lot of other "good players" play very poorly against short stacking scared money nits like myself, it removes her ability to out aggro you

she also can take any spot where youre thinking "man if she raises i am going to puke here" and 100% make that play

ive seen her spew tho, she has 1 gear, aggro- and a backpack full of non scared money

ok, just didn't want to disrespect the HS poker players who could crush my soul through amounts of $, connections, poker abilities, etc

but yeah, thats her

i think i must have played with her when she was "playing bad" (per her blog) but her blog would demonstrate a highly skilled assassin mentality- wonder how she acquired her poker skills? heard she made lots of cash running hs private games (hence the rio banning)
