LOL that's pretty funny, she sounds so nonchalant about the whole thing. But I do also find it a little bit sad - I mean, if you can't be excited about yr first bracelet what can you get excited about?!

when you play enough poker you just sorta subconsciously train yourself not to care about results and you also sort of just become immune to results in a way. in the same way she isn't devastated every time she busts out of a tourney she isn't going to be ecstatic after winning one (specifically like others have said some random gay razz event). also, germans don't have souls.

I met her at the PCA in the Bahamas in January. I've read her husbands blog off and on for a couple of years. She was more than polite and sociable towards me. We chatted a bit about strategy. She didn't talk down to me.

All and all, my impression of her was an attractive, intelligent, self-confident woman. Not in the least bit self-important or condescending.

Pretty damn good poker player on top of it.

In the Pokerstars blog, she said she wanted a bracelet this year because she heard they weren't giving out bracelets next year. What's up with that?

I liked that interview. It was cool how she said that the 50K was too much for her. You almost never hear poker players say that.

More people should say "OMG who would be happy after playing Razz for 10 hours?" We haven't heard it enough yet.

The few interesting things I gathered from that interview: Maybe or maybe not selling the bracelet on ebay and that David Oppenheim pissed her off.
