Hi all,

I'm Shauna, some of you may know me online and on other forums as AAmaz0n. I started playing poker in the long long ago in the days of the Silver Slipper, Frontier and Desert Inn, mostly in between long sessions of blackjack.

Online, I played all the sites from the early days of IRC until Black Friday, and have been haunting the SoCal card rooms since the turn of the century.

This will be my third WSOP, and hopefully my best. Looking forward to meeting everyone and running good in Vegas.

Welcome to the team!

Hi,

I'm Lisa Nichols aka DiamondDixie. While not nearly as accomplished as most of you I have gross online earnings of around $150K and a couple of wsop cashes including the latest which was 6th in the WSOP Cherokee Circuit ladies event (the one where Dakota finished 3rd) last month and 16th in the 6 max event the year before. I have played poker since 2008, primarily online even since Black Friday. My overall online ROI is around 35% over more than 10K MTT/SNGs.

This is actually my first trip to Vegas, yes ever, and my first time to play in any WSOP events. I'm looking forward to the experience and being part of this team.

That's much more than I've accomplished! :) Thanks for joining, and welcome to CardsChat, Lisa!

I am Nancy Birnbaum - an accomplished poker player and successful business woman. Prior to becoming one of the most successful women poker players, I was a top producer with BMW for over 20 years.

Upon leaving BMW, I sold real estate in Sarasota, Florida for 7 years and was ranked in the top 1% out of 15,000 agents in the Sarasota County Board of Realtors.

While living in Sarasota, I began playing poker in 2006 at the Hard Rock in Tampa at small table buy- ins. I started to play sit-n-goes and began studying the game intently toward my goal of becoming a successful, professional poker player. I honed my skill of reading people and developed a solid winning strategy.

My hard work has paid off. I started traveling the WSOP Circuit and today I am the only woman to have won 3 gold WSOP rings and a woman’s pendant. In the 2012 – 2013 season I was the top female on the Circuit with the most cashes and earnings. In 2014, I have 7 first place finishes and 24 cashes in the WSOP.http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=73227

Nancy, I just looked at your picture, you were sitting next to me for a short time this year at the Cherokee WSOP, I believe it was in a sat to the ME, we were talking about cold it was and you had a blanket to cover your legs. I told you what a great idea that was. I also asked you about the WSOP ring you were wearing.

In after everyone else.

I'm Chris Baud, longtime member of this forum. I used to grind MTTs way back when it was legal. Since BF I've mostly been grinding live cash, but I still play a handful of live tourneys each year. This will be my biggest live event and first trip to Vegas, can't wait!

It's about time you got back in this forum - welcome to the team Chris!

I met Chris when I played at the Borgata year before last - very nice guy and very good poker player. He recently took down a media charity event in AC.

I'm pretty sure I'll be the worst player in this group, so I should get odds on the last longer contest.

Thank you Lisa :) I miss playing on pokerstars in the FCP and cardschat games. I hardly ever play online any more since black Friday. Only the occasional private game. I play a lot of live cash games at the casinos nearby and hope to get a big score in Vegas.

I started playing online poker in 2008 and never deposited on any of the sites. I discovered the cardschat forum and some others and did well starting with the private freerolls. I don't have large scores like some of the members in this thread, but I had an awesome week in January at Thunder Valley's Heartland Poker Tour doing 2 chops for about 3k each and then I pressed my luck in the HPT main event but didn't cash:

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=323467

Then that weekend I had a sick day on Lock Poker in a $109 mtt that I freerolled into winning $1200 and getting 2nd place in Carbon's special $1 dollar frenzy 10k added tourney getting 2nd place for $1600.
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-goals-challenges-wins-46/won-1-637-1-178-today-239079/

In 2012 I satellited into the 10k buyin at Bay 101 World Poker Tour:
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-goals-challenges-wins-46/im-10k-wpt-shooting-star-207905/

I cashed a couple times in Bay 101 open. I played only 4 times so cashing twice is good.
http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=213995

Last fall I played a couple Lake Tahoe WSOP circuit warm up events, but didn't cash. I hope to do well in Vegas event #60 July 1st and then the Little Drop July 3rd. I will also try 1 or 2 main event 1k satellites.

Good luck everyone:)

Sorry to see Ting busted out:

5/18/2014 7:01:45 PM PST (about 2 hours and 37 minutes ago)
Ting Ho Eliminated in 22nd Place ($6,241)

I'm sure you wanted a better result, but I think 6k is awesome and you have momentum and confidence for WSOP.
