It’s where I always wanted to be although I was never quite sure where it was and what it meant. Back in 2012, I was leaving the USA after a rather bizarre three year interlude. I was about to start a year on the r...

Food, Glorious food

Food is far more than just fuel to me. I know that some people see eating as merely an energy source for their bodies, and intellectually I can understand and appreciate that point of view but it’s an alien concept...

Team 888 and a video update (Hey, that rhymes!)

Last week was a BIG WEEK, and grammar mavens, I am totally justified in using all caps there. Among other Very Cool Things ™ that happened, I got to have a big “drumroll, please” moment after hav...

Yesterday was a pretty cool day 😊

The new Star Wars book (LAST SHOT) came out and the awesome writer, Daniel José Older (one of my absolute favorites - check out his other work) gave me a shoutout on twitter for helping him with some poker/gambling type info for it.

My friend BJ said this is basically like saying I was Lando Calrissian’s poker coach and I WILL TAKE IT! ... See MoreSee Less

Being nominated for the Women in Poker Hall of Fame among these talented and kick-ass women is a real honour and a bit overwhelming, to be honest.

Poker has *been* my life for a very long time and changed my trajectory in a lot of ways. Back in the early days, it gave me a way to immerse myself in something new and I was able to use that to recover and move forward from a grief I thought would overwhelm me. Quite truthfully, I wouldn't be who I am now, without poker.

To this silly game we play, I owe my career and my financial stability, some really fantastic friends, my husband (and our soon-to-be daughter), my ability to have travelled the world, freedom and so many more things that are integral to the person I am now.

I've worked my ass off and achieved some pretty amazing things in my career (although it seems early to me to be talking Hall of Fame, especially in a group of women that includes Lupe Soto!) and I am really gratified to be recognised like this.

I had a lot of very cool people along the way giving me opportunities, pushing me to do better and be better and encouraging me to learn more. There were even some who inspired me to succeed by blocking me or being such a pain in my ass that I just wanted to show them what I was capable of. 😂

The nomination itself really is the honour and I wish I could be there to clap for the two women who are eventually honoured by the 2018 Hall of Fame, but we'll be welcoming a brand new little poker player into the world right around then! Thank you to anyone who voted to put me on the ballot. I appreciate it a lot! ... See MoreSee Less
