An Interview with r_u_freakin_kiddin_me

About 4-5 years. I started playing at our house with a few friends just for fun and then we got more involved which lead us to build our own tables and we started having more people playing every weekend at our house.

Honestly, I don't remember but I'm a member for Life!

I use to play online but gave up so now just Live

Q. What is your favorite game?

NLH

Q. Do You have a preference which gender to play against?

Nope

Q. Have you played in the LIPS Tour?

Yep, FINISHED 10TH PLACE in 2006 MANY MANY THANKS TO LUPE AND ALL OF THE POKERCHIX FOR THAT WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES!!! Well of course I had butterflies all night so I barely slept but anyhow I got up and had a quick bite to eat with hubby our friend Shelly and even met some of the other pokerchix. Before even actually buying in I turned and got just about out of line and said can't play I'm feeling sick just knowing how many of the good Pokerchix were in it like london, survivor, angntblueyes all whom I had played with online. The room was so full but of course hubby and Shelly (pokerboydyke) told me to relax and I purchased my buy in. At the beginning I got no cards this lady on the side of me OMG if you thought the deck was in her favor it sure was she was catching cards the whole first prob half or or so. Anyways I finally looked down at QQ so I bet out and got a caller. (Skasino01) On the flop came a Q I was first to go so I made this ughh sound and said CHECK. Skasino01 said she was all in I hesitated purposely and then said well I call nothing helped her and she was out. I honestly felt excited but sad for her. Anyhow at the first break I realized I was chip leader. As the game went on I focused mostly on keeping my chips stack high and also watched the other tables a sit became down to about 4 tables left. The more they started going out I watched our table and told them to just play slowly and they would all make it. Kelly was sitting across from me with probably just enough for 1 hand so i took my time as I heard another table say someone was all in and Boom Kelly was able to make in the money ! iI said see told ya slow play always helps she thanked me and of course I was so happy for her. I then ended up making to the final table and I was up againt a huge stack lady who kept on shoving so I got a lil pissed and looked down at KJ clubs and I called her raise up to the turn then she was basically putting me all in and so I folded due to the fact I caught absolutely nothing. I ended up getting 10th place ..... after not wanting to even try playing cause I never had played in a live Ladies only event.

Q. What was your most memorable win?

EVERY WIN WAS A MEMORABLE ONE My first win ever was at Foxwoods, Mixed Limit tourney finished 7th place, the Lips game in 2006 11th place, then the following day 3rd place @ Binions Horshoe - Susie Issaccs Ladies event in 2006 Foxwoods event I actually didn't feel too nervous but lets just say some of the men were rude but others were so kind. when I made the final table I had 2 chips left and can you believe I got so lucky catching trips 2 times in a row but then I was BB and forced all in against 2 other players. I turned my cards over slowly and missed my straight. That experience was awesome cause I honestly felt like a pro in the sence that I had a whole crowd gathered around and many were cheering me on ! Then there came LIPS (story is above) Then came Suzi Issacs ladies Only Event at Binions Horeshoe in 2006 ( the day after the LIPS game) There were 60-70 ladies and again my nerves got to me and even tho I made the final table yesterday. I was feeling like just cause I won once doesn't mean I would again. Anyways I got to meet more chix and like a kid who wants candy well thats how I felt about meeting and playing with Susie Issaccs. I couldn't stop saying OMG I'm playing with a a pro. I even got to sit right next to her OMG I was so excited and she even chatted with us and we also got to take pitures with her and Joe Hashum.
