Anna failed to tip the media- not expected but always appreciated. Guys like jc tran and greenstien never fail in looking out. Most of us work 15 hour days at less then $10 an hour to bring coverage to everyone.

Btw I Liked Anna a Lot and thought she was a great winner

Tip the media???? What a joke. Any reporter who takes money from a player should be banned from the trade.....no joke.

I've covered the WSOP, a handful of WPTs, the Aussie Millions and EPT Monte Carlo and I've never heard of a winner tipping the media.

I’ve never heard of it myself but the thought of it just rubs me wrong. I feel the same when political journalist rub elbows at private parties hosted by the Washington elite they are supposed to be reporting on.

I agree there definately seems something wrong with tipping the media especially given that a lot of tourney donks rely on some good coverage to keep their sponsorship going.

I heard of roland de wolfe buying the media gallery a round of champagne when he won a big event and that seems like a good way to play it.

I am not a "reporter" or "journalist" by trade or education, but I did cover the last two WSOP's. No live hand histories, just solid stories about final tables and other interesting goings-on. I always felt I was fair and honest in what I wrote, but I wasn't shy with spouting praise where it was due. If something/somebody deserved criticism, I did not avoid writing about it, but at the same time, I was not unnecessarily caustic.

All that said, I never once was offered a tip, but then again, I'm pretty much a nobody. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: If I ever had been offered a tip, I would have felt VERY uncomfortable about it and am 98% sure I would have declined it.

I sat next to her at a 1-2 no limit game at Caesar's Palace on 4/5/07. I knew within a few minutes that she is a solid player. She is a maniac which is a good style if you know what you are doing, which she did. She was very friendly. She told me that she knows a couple pros personally. I am very happy for her that she won a big tourney because now she can afford to play above 1-2 again.

I'm a dealer and I've dealt to Anna quite a bit. REally a nice, down-to-earth person. My impression of her game is a lot of the players are generally intimidated to play a pot with her. Quick story.

I remember coming into my shift, it was a Monday Morning and I saw Anna with about 1K in front of her. I go into the box and half way through Anna gets involved with a loud-mouth "know it all" who talked a big game, but didn't have the game to back it up. It was 1-2 NL. Anna makes a small raise of 10, called by two players, then this "Know it all" (KIA) re-pops for 45....all fold to Anna who calls. Other two players muck so it's heads up. The flop comes 9 K J. Anna checks. "KIA" bets 75..Anna calls rather quickly. Turns comes J of diamonds. There was another diamond so it put two diamonds. Anna comes betting 75, "KIA" goes all in for about 200 total. Anna thinks for a long time then calls. River brings a K, bring the final board (9KJJK). KIA has pocket 3's. Anna has Q8 diamonds!! So the Queen played!! KIA went ballistic basically calling Anna the worst player he's ever seen. Anna showed a lot of class by not answering back as she raked in a huge pot.

A few hands later, Anna left the table for a moment. The rest of the players started berated Anna saying, "Don't worry she'll give everything back. She's the worst..blah Blah!!! Another 3 hrs later, she finally cashed out for about 2300!! She busted a few of the loud mouths along the way. GOOD STUFF! I remember telling Anna as she was cashing out how she had that entire table in the palm of her hands. She gave this sly grin as if to say..."I know"

I really happy for Anna's accomplishment...she should be very proud of herself.

So long story short, she will likely be waitressing again some time soon?

(I couldn't resist. I just don't see how she played that hand well. She is clearly a high-variance player.)

I don't get it. She called $125 into a $525 pot with 16 outs, but thats only if she can put him exactly on an underpair. Anything else and she is drawing to few or no outs. Not to mention that she played the rest of the hand pretty attrociously.

[Annulus]

lol. she reminds me of those players i see at the casino who is capable of getting a huge stack fast in NL200 just by gambling with draws and calling with pairs. but most days they lose their money.
