- Found poker, got staked by guy who is an accomplished marathon runner
- Admits she was not winning player in NJ online
- Spends a lot of time studying but still says she isn't a winner (I assume this is referring to live?). She doesn't really talk about the transition from Online to Live
- Drama at Bobby's room (she doesn't go into specifics) just says she's a shitty person and yelled some **** at someone that stems from jealousy or something
- Continues to pursue poker in hopes of making it work because she really enjoys it
I've never listed to this podcast before so I don't know if this is typical but its more so a conversation like a friend or other brother supporting a sibling through a difficult time of need than an interview with an accomplished poker player.
Throughout the podcast she refers to life decisions at optimal/+ev like someone who just turned 18 and has read the Theory of Poker for the first time, or someone who has taken a basic economics class where they begin looking at everything through the lens of opportunity cost.
She's a very odd person and definitely disingenuous as to how she represents herself as some highstakes crusher, but she seems like shes trying to be more introspective and become a better person personality wise. She reminds me a lot of that girl Liberalchick who basically considered herself the **** then disappeared pretty quickly after some minimal success.
I think anyone buying part of her WSOP package (with markup) should be required by stakekings to listen to this podcast as a disclaimer prior to them sending their money.
