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

I've never been tipped. I think you made a mistake in even mentioning it here.

I would agree. Im not well versed in the policies and practices established since the boom. I shouldn’t have posted about it here.

You're not being leveled, and I don't agree with your sentiment. There's at least a vague tradition of tournament winners tipping out certain members of the media, but it's not quite as standard as dealer/floor tokes.

Also, the poker media mostly exists to promote the game of poker itself in a biased/favorable way, and it doesn't have to live up to the same objective standards of the mass media, so save the righteous indignation...when a player who won the event tips a reporter/photographer, it's usually just a token of gratitude resulting from a bond that one tends to form throughout the course of the long, big tournament--it's a nice, but also relatively insignificant gesture. The reporters are working for you in a way just like the dealers and floorman are. Everyone has his own tipping policy, but tips to the media are certainly not unheard-of, nor are they unethical.

player should be fired and blacklisted. Then again known plagiarists aren't even fired in what passes for "media" in the poker world. *Gulp* I've never been leveled before I hope this isn't it.

Tech/strassa2, I'm still accepting tips if you feel guilty for not tipping the poker media during the ME. I'd hate for you to feel bad...

I hae no clue that it was semicommon to tip the media...actually, I have never even heard of it until now. I played with anna at the final table of the $2000 event and also early in the $3000 event. She is pretty much a calling station that cant fold any pair...Early in the $3000 event, the called a pot bet on the flop and the turn vs Vinny Vihn on a Q9862 board with 33. It was wild. Hopefully she is at my table in the $25,000 event.

I know it's not the textbook way to play, but if you're born with*/learn the ability to know when ppl are lying to u, calling down with 33 is a solid play. I know you could raise, but that's a higher variance play. Calling down is deceptive and screws with ppl's head in a metagame way.

I heard that she also failed to tip the railbirds. Can anyone confirm that by reading the poker media?

Barry also used to give all his tourney winnings to charity. Do you call out players who don't do that?

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.

[drewjustdrew]

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.
