every time I see one of you NVG morons post something like this, it tilts the hell out of me. is it really that hard to type "LUCY ROKACH" into Google and then hit enter? hell, most browsers have Google search built into them now, so you don't even need to navigate to Google!!!

IS IT REALLY THAT HARD??????

im taking a hit for those to lazy to search wiki here it is and to the person who said shes the 2nd best poker player lets not go there, it will be impossible to tell that im assuming jen harmen is you number 1. and barryg's comment is pretty strong considering that he has no way of knowing that.

Lucienne (Lucy) "Golden Ovaries" Rokach is an English professional poker player from Stoke-on-Trent. She was born in Cairo, Egypt and is now regarded as one of the top female players in Europe. She also commentated on the popular Late Night Poker television series with Jesse May during its fourth season, and had a 3rd place finish in the series 6 grand final (the highest-ever finish for a female player in a Late Night Poker grand final.)

Rokach was a history teacher and car dealer before entering the poker world. In her first tournament she won £5,000 at the Rubicon Club in Wolverhampton. She won the 2003 European Poker Top award for Lifetime Achievement after winning the Winter Festival in Dublin in both 2001 and 2003.

Rokach made money finishes in the World Series of Poker $10,000 no limit hold'em main event in 1996 and 2004.

Rokach has been described by Barry Greenstein as the best female no limit hold 'em player in the world.

Rokach also commentates on The Poker Channel, alongside Gary "The Choirboy" Jones and Roy "The Boy" Brindley.

As of 2008, her total live tournament winnings exceed $1,200,000.

I was told she once soiled herself at the table when she flopped a royal flush

She was interviewed on EMS podcast last week where she basically whined like hell about "online kids" and how they were stupid, play like idiots live, yada yada. This song was in response to said interview.

Funny vid

I've got the chorus "Bitter, bitter, bitter..." running through my head now. Solid vintage effort OP.

For reference, here's the September 2008 Lucy Rokach interview from the Eat My Stack poker podcast.

The relevant part starts at about 7:20, fizzles out a bit then picks back up at 11:00.
