Evelyn Ng in the news

[M.B.E.]

Sorry if this has been posted already, but the CTV National News featured a segment on Evelyn Ng a few days ago. The video is still available on their web site.

what is the deal with her, she was featured in local newspaper while back here too...on the cover no less.

Is she really such a great player who deserves all this coverage?/ i have never heard of her before......mind you , i don't watch wpt.

News media feed off each other. One of the ways that news editors decide something is newsworthy is coverage in other media.

It isn't so much that she's a great poker player, but that she's a beautiful Canadian woman professional poker player.

I couldn't agree more..

WHat has this woman EVER done at the tables, besides look good. That whole WPT thing was a sham. Like Barbara Enright or Cyndy Violette wouldnt have been better choices as better players. Evelyn and Clonie were eye candy that happen to play poker half-decent, that's all. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she could barely beat a decent 10-20 game. Maybe her boyfriend BR's her at higher limits...
Which brings me to my next thought...how many of these "top pros" are what I call "Bankroll pros"? Meaning, how many of them are just good, solid players whose bankroll from other ventures dictates that they can play in huge games and tourneys with little regard or care for the $$$ involved. In other words, it doesn't matter montarily if they win or lose, so they're allowed to be more aggressive and take more chances vs those of us who need the $$$. Not that they suck, but it just makes a guy like me wonder what kinda noise I could make if money was no object.
People I think of in this vein, who all have had sucess, are Ron rose, Phil Gordon, and Paul Phillips.
