I just thought Barry meant that she walked around with stuff in her hair.

Saying that Liz is a lot like Diaz is like me saying that Jenna Jameson is a lot like the virgin mary, or that Rocco Sifredi reminds me of the pope. She blows.

awwww, someone got rejected. =[

Maybe. But whether he got rejected or not those are some pretty mean-spirited comments.

lol. no never got rejected. fortunately for me I got a girl who is more successful than i am, at least twice as smart, and wayyyy better looking than i am.

figured i'd get blasted, just chose to shed some light on what i thought was a pretty hysterical anecdote by BG.

hah that's awesome...i don't think it takes that much to decipher that liz is a huge self promoter...she had a coniption because ESPN screwed her out of tv coverage...aww poor baby.

apparently, she was going to marry a guy who had borrowed a large amount of money (he was a broke poker player)...one he day he packed his bags and booked the [censored] out of there without telling her. i feel so bad for her I will visit her site 10 times a day and buy whatever dvds and books she has coming out. poker diva foreva!!

Just notice that she is listed in BG's Player Analysis section.

Best game: Limit Hold’em
Weakness: Easily bothered by outside influences and superstitions
Although Liz is a competent winning poker player, she has been focusing on marketing herself more than she has on playing poker. Her poker results have slipped, but she will probably make more money this way in the long run. She has cultivated a persona that she has trouble keeping up with, since in reality she would prefer to be a private person who is out of the limelight.

Amusing anecdote

When I first saw Liz playing poker, I wanted to ask her out. I decided that I would nonchalantly walk by her table and make idle chatter as an introduction. I watched and waited for her to be unoccupied. Unfortunately, it seemed like every other guy in the room had the same idea. People would stop and talk to her for a few minutes and leave, and immediately someone else would sit beside her. I waited for an hour, but there was no let up.

Fortunately, she approached the big game to talk to her friend Chau Giang. I introduced myself and tried to show my sense of humor. Two advantages big game players have in the woman chasing game are the possibility of more extravagant dates and the lure of offering top level poker mentoring. I was prepared to use whatever enticement necessary, because I now felt I was in competition against the rest of the poker room.


The next day, I got up the nerve to ask Liz out. She said, “Have you been watching how many guys are hitting on me. All I want to do is play poker.” I told her if she needed any assistance to let me know. I ultimately succeeded getting a date with Liz, because of something I hadn’t thought of. It turned out that it wasn't the promise of poker lessons or extravagant dates that swayed her. Instead, when she found out that I helped poor children, she became very interested in spending time with me. I eventually found out Liz’s other likes and dislikes. I won’t divulge them, because they would be used against her, as Liz is poker’s version of Cameron Diaz in the movie “There’s Something about Mary.”

Tracy is the absolute hottest cocktail waitress at the bike. I tip her even though I don't drink when I'm playing.

[Alright when i first read this i thought it was Athos that asked liz out. Once I realized it was BG that asked her out I couldn't help but laugh a little, most specifically because of him comparing her to Cameron Diaz in "there's something about Mary". The truth is, BG is sooooo far off the mark it's ridiculous. Both in him thinking she is in any way like Diaz, and him thinking Liz would really be into him on a deep level (I will give him props for having the balls to make the effort and for scoring a date, even tho i'm skeptical if it really was a date). Yes I may look like a hater here, but for anyone who knows Liz they'll realize she's in fact the opposite of Diaz, she's one of the biggest self-promoters in the business, having gained a reputation as a great player without really doing all that much (except that win she "bought" at commerce, and beating Erik123 in that dubious match at the venetian). Saying that Liz is a lot like Diaz is like me saying that Jenna Jameson is a lot like the virgin mary, or that Rocco Sifredi reminds me of the pope. She blows.

anyway that's my 2 cents.

Amazing how comprehension skills are so lacking here. BG wrote that remark about Diaz in "There's Something About Mary" to compare the character Diaz played in the movie to how men are falling all over themselves to be with Liz. That was one of the main plot lines of the movie. It has nothing to do with Diaz herself though.

At least someone gets it. Liz certainly isn't as sweet and nice as Cameron's character. If she was, she couldn't be a winning poker player.

I won't debate her looks, but it is unbelievable how many men she attracts, media and otherwise. (Admittedly, she adds to the attraction with her loud hair colors and trendy designer clothes.) I realize that chubby men generally like women who have more meat on the bone than Liz.

Since I know the next question from some of you will be about my sex life, I'll answer in this way: I hope my own sex life never gets so boring that I have to concern myself with someone else's.
