Interests
POKER GAMES:
I mostly play NLHE, live 1/2 & 2/5 cash games and online tourneys. I'm learning Omaha High and I really like the PLO/8 tourneys. Would love to see some Crazy Pineapple and Tahoe games here on SC.
POKER PLAYERS:
Gus Hansen is my fave player for his unique approach to the game. Doyle Brunson is the master, Daniel Negreanu is funny & brilliant, Patrik Antonius is a stone faced killer, and Tom Dwan is the most enigmatic player I've ever watched.
LUCKY POKER HANDS:
I'd rather be good than lucky
CASINOS:
Winstar in Oklahoma, it's close to home and with 46 tables there's always a seat with my name on it ~ MGM, Caesars, Venetian in Las Vegas ~ Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso, NM.
ACTIVITIES:
Poker takes a big chunk of my spare time, but I also like to hang out with the family, read, travel and experiment with residential architecture & landscape. I am a floral designer by trade (owned a florist shop for several years) & still do weddings.
MOVIES:
Enchanted April, beautiful film about 4 very different women renting a house in Italy for the summer ~ Fight Club, too cool ~ Rounders, of course ~ K-Pax, obscure flick with K. Spacey ~ Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, classic with Cary Grant
TV SHOWS:
I got hooked on Dark Blue & hope it gets picked up ~ Lie To Me ~ House ~ Lost ~ Jeopardy ~ Dog Whisperer ~ HSPoker, PAD and most of the WSOP & WPT events ~ and I never get tired of Seinfeld.
BOOKS:
I've reviewed a few of my fave poker books on my blogs. Fiction authors include; M. Crichton, J. Grisham, D. Koontz., S.K. Penman and D. Preston & L. Child. I also read biographies, residential design, non-fiction, finance, usually 2-3 simultaneously.
MUSIC:
Classic rock, mostly Southern & British rock ~ Jazz, blues & old Motown ~ Nickleback, Diana Krall, Chris Botti, Nora Jones, Van Morrison and Michael Buble ~ Oh, and a little Andrea Bocelli on chilly winter nights.
POKER PLAYLIST:
You can never go wrong with Stevie Ray Vaughan on your IPod at the poker table.
QUOTES:
"With spots quadrangular of diamond form, ensanguined hearts, clubs typical of strife, and spades, the emblems of untimely graves."
~ William Cowper, English poet

Hi Pam !!!
Thank you for your support and you very kind words... When I got close to even with Sacred I thought I had a big chance to win... I caught a few big hands after that and had traps set for her... She sniffed them out and slipped away each time !! Then, when I tried to make moves on her... She wasn't buying !!!
She almost played PERFECT poker !!!
Sacred and I are good friends and I have much respect for her game !!! If I couldn't win it... I'm glad she did !!
