wow, people are still posting on this thread? ...some random comments too...weird.

all in all, i think EVERYONE more or less agrees that Evelyn Ng is THE MOST OVERRATED poker player alive. not to mention that she quit poker earlier this year (from one of her interviews it said she had to take a break cuz she was stinking it up and needed to try something else for a while) and tried to make money off of simply marketing herself/looks. terrible.

i don't think she'll be around too long in the poker world with her skills, but who knows.

According to the Dec 26th issue of Card Player, in their Poker by the Numbers column they list Ng's 2006 earnings from tournament and cash play as $250,000 (doesn't say whether that's net of tournament buy-ins though).

Not a bad number, if it's real.

Also I think it was on Beyond the Felt where Ng said that she'd earned a living from poker for the last 13 years.

So is she a decent player making a good income, who is overrated because she gets more attention than her play warrants due to her looks? Or she really is that bad, and the $250k and 13 years of success are maybe a little exaggerated?
