Poker News: PokerLizard.com Interviews Poker Pro and Tournament Master Kathy Liebert
PokerLizard.com the webs leading source for free poker gifts and poker pro interviews talks to tournament specialist Kathy Liebert.
(PRWEB) May 15, 2005 -- PokerLizard.com, the internet's leading source of
free poker gifts, cash rebates, and pro interviews, talks to poker pro Kathy
Liebert. Kathy was the first female poker player to win $1,000,000 in a poker
tournament.
Fresh off her victory in the WPPA's Battle of the Sexes,
Kathy sat down with PokerLizard.com to discuss what it takes to be a pro on
today's tournament circuit, mentoring some of Hollywood's best players, and the
pitfalls to avoid for any aspiring poker pro.
Look for Kathy in upcoming
"WPPA Pro vs. Celebrity" tournament on GSN (the Gameshow Network) and playing in
"The Poker Superstars Invitational" on Fox Sports.
Excerpts from the
interview include:
PokerLizard.com: What about strategy? Do you think that
there is really much of a difference between women and men in how they should
approach a game?
Kathy: It depends. Sometimes, as a woman, you sit down
to a game where a lot of the guys see you as a weaker player and play you softer
– so you have to adjust your game. Or if they're bluffing you a lot, raising
with a lot of junk cards, then you have to wait patiently until you get
something and let them have it. Then they start to respect you a bit, and if you
don't think they have strong hands, you get them out.
PokerLizard.com:
Speaking of televised events, you won the Battle of the Sexes, and you're
involved in the Poker Superstars event. Do you use those to help boost your
income and hedge your regular play?
Kathy: Well, I suppose so – I do
enjoy both of those shows, and I also happen to make money at them, which
doesn't hurt. There's another show for GSN coming up called “Pro Vs. Celebrity”,
which is another opportunity to make some extra money.
PokerLizard.com:
You mentioned what you like most about the Poker Pro lifestyle (flexibility
etc…) what do you like least about it?
Kathy: That’s a tough
question…It’s great when you’re winning, it’s a lot of fun and can be a lot of
money, but at the same time it can be very stressful especially when you’re on a
losing streak.
