For a girl who has a few milll in the bank youd think she would take better care of herself, spa treatment needed I think. Anyway I seen her commenting on a game a while back and she was getting it all wrong, think she will get eaten up..

Posted by shokaku: Clony Gowen has won a few of those PAD tables. And i guess that Matusow, Hellmuth and Laak don't play their best poker in that format.
Laak don't play their best poker in that format did you mean any format And Hellmuth does not care as long as he is on TV with the spotlight on him.
Did anyone notice how alike Hellmuth and Laak are....

She is a not very pretty girl playing pseudoaggrodonk poker, had sometimes luck, but no constant good pokerplayer. This kind of players are thousands around, and she had luck, 99,9 % of the others playing like her are paying, is like bingo or lotto...
^Actually if you've watched her play a couple of times you'll realize that she actually is a pretty solid player & when the luck is going her way she defintley captilizes & she has a couple of big tourney wins under her belt so i think she'll do good on poker after dark. We'll see though...

Posted by RIPStuNov22: She's just another 'one hit wonder'...just like Robert Varkonyi and Chris Moneymaker.
Anyone heard about them recently? Of course not.
Maybe we do not really hear a lot about her while she plays live tournaments... but I can guarantee you she's very solid while playing online, I watched some of her games at FTP and I was indeed impressed, with some luck she would have won much more money than she did so far in online poker.

Is compelled to disagree, therefore as saw live tournaments with its participation(WSOPE for example). She perfectly reads game and opponents.

I also do think that she is a player to watch in the next couple of years. She won the WSOPE Main Event and finished in the late money stages in a lot of other big life tournaments. You don´t get these results when youre just lucky. But it will be interesting to see her playing in the WSOP next year, the average of the players there is much stronger than in the EPT for example
