It's great to perform in poker as a doctor and this woman deserves congratulations. I think she will insist on playing a lot of poker games to have more good results. Depending on her time she will play for qualifications at wsop.

It is great that this woman, who despite the fact that the time she had was limited, did not give up, and continued, I think the reward is that, we must be consistent with what we do, and the most beautiful thing about poker is that it helps you to organize yourself, improve as a person, stabilize yourself, I think these are very important points for you to be the best. example of the doctor and congratulations, that the successes continue, I believe that it will be the only award that he receives.

Pocket Kings saved the day , that's interesting to me , no Ace on the river or whatever lol , not safe even with Kings nowadays , lol . So she gives $100 to her husband for his games or whatever , for every $1000 or more win she has , now it's $52K , how much will she give to him ?? World of tanks game sucks , better not give him anything to spend there , lol , maybe save them , win a lot more , then buy him a real tank , nope , too much expensive , maybe a replica , or a remote control tank , special order and delivery , lol

Yes. I read this news and it's nice because i had some games when i was left with 15 or 30 chips (1500 at the beginning of the game), and i finally won at the tables with 9 players. This is great luck, but it happens sometimes. This woman had more stack but KK was very good.

We always have time for everything, poker is a game that you can play at any time you want, without being preoccupied with playing on a specific day, and I think this doctor knew how to set her time to play poker well, despite her work Hard nurse, poker will always give you more than anything else, you have to dedicate time and the results will come by themselves.

It takes more time to play and here i am referring to these women, because the profession of lawyer is very demanding, even in Canada. Sherwood Park in Alberta has a population of over 70.000, but there are also tourists, who sometimes they have different problems. Anyway she's a good player.

Some always want to do several things at the same time, they want to have several inputs, and that is good, this doctor is an example, that nobody can put obstacles when you want to achieve objectives, you always have to sacrifice, of course, always with study, Time and perseverance, things will be achieved, and in poker it works like this, congratulations, and the big prizes continue.
For sure this is a great story to be heard. It,s always a pleasure to see, how people can win big from nothing. For sure it,s really good to begin from moneyplay and later to be able to take a top place in a good tournament. But i,m sure that she is a good player and worked to win there. Everyone can win, but you need to be able to work a lot on your game, watch different videos and read different books. It,s a little bit strange to heard, that most of the money will goes for bills. The country that she are living have such a big taxes or what? Anyway this is a good win.

If she continues winning so much money , well she can go pro and stop working as a doc , which is a so demanding job , especially for a girl/woman or a mother , but if she could stay home or go live (when things with this virus improve ) and play some poker , and win ig some thousands , well that's some good money . I wish her the best . to do whatever pleases her the most , that's the most important thing in life . good luck for her life .

Nice story amazing how people can suprise you, would never say all that about here just on first look. It's sure hard to be sucesfull on two fields such as a doctor and a poker player. Maybe all hard work from her job helps her to be sucesfull too. Would be nice too to have a wife who give me a 100 bucks every time she win over 1k .

Smart people are all over the planet, but not everyone will get to taste celebrity or success. Most of them because they don't have courage. The lawyers still have something and that's why this woman tried this new option which is called poker, but with succes for her.

This is wonderful and warm news. After reading such news, I want to return to playing poker. When you see that a simple person makes a great game and you think that I can too. Thank you Bankrollmob for this news.

I have always heard these types of stories, people who have responsibilities in other areas and always spend time playing poker, and end up leaving everything for poker, because they know that there is more input into it, although sometimes this does not happen immediately, it takes time to achieve it. you just have to be persistent.

Now it remains to be seen whether the woman lawyer will continue to perform remarkably well with poker games or tournaments. There have been cases in the past where smart people have won, but after that remained anonymous because they no longer performed.

Well , the fact that she is a doctor made me think about some things . I used to think in the past that all these people who are so respectable cause they chose to study a lot , to be educated a lot , to work a lot , to serve the people nd be paid for these , and on the other side there the players , poker player , casino players , more or less pros , who win a tone of money , just for playing games , then enjoying the service of these educated people with this money or the ''fruits'' and creations of the modern world .
But Ofcourse this is a very wrong thought , there aren't red lines in the modern world , some might have gone to college then dedicate to poker and not practice their education study , some might have started working as a doctor , as this lady , or a lawyer , or another vey high appreciated job , but still they find time to play poker live , in big tournaments , or online , maybe during weekend , 7 hours if the tourney is big and if he's ITM it worths the time invested . Very strange that I used to think this thing , cause my aunt , doctor , loved to buy lottery tickets all the time for the dream to hit the big first prize (didn't know either of them poker or casino) and ofcourse my father , also a doctor , loved extremelly to play lotto and buy sometimes lotterytickets , also play betting (although he was copy pasting the betting consults from the papers , didn't knpow much about the teams , this advice is sh**) but he neither knew anything about poker and casino , he won very rarely , I guess the apple falls ight down the apple tree , this very rarely won is in my genes , lol .

Smart people who know math don't have to learn poker strategy and skills for long time. Here i am talking about men but obviously also women. I think it is not difficult for those with higher education. Time to have and want to play.

this doctor has allowed himself to waste his time and to play but it is not to be regretted, as long she earns money with poker. He is a good player and maybe will do many good things in future. Compared to her, i personally don't know if i could win big in the online or live environment.

doctors see things differently than more normal people, because they have learned a lot and their ability to think is very high. You can't compare a kid with someone who have many years old and is mature. It is true that people who know math can practice this game very good, but the result of this woman is normal. Poker must also have good doctors.
