Default Re: Is Tiffany Williamson qualified to write a poker column

This is going to be the one time I am glad ESPN edits the hands, cause otherwise it would be torture to watch Tiffany take 5 minutes for every street decision. I heard she drove the tables nuts with her slow playing.

They won't show the it in real time, but I am sure they will show some of it, complete with the expressions of the other players.

Actually, I had a great interaction with nearly all of the players with whom I sat during the WSOP. Although I did take some time on certain of the key hands in which I was involved, the majority of my hands (countless hands over the course of 7 very very long days of playing poker, including satellite day) were played in fairly quick fashion. In any case, as I've not participated on this forum up until now (and I know that there has been some discussion of my play on twoplustwo since the WSOP), please let me say that on nearly all of the decisions where I did take what some may view as too much time, I was making critical decisions for my tournament life. I can't say for sure whether I offended any of my table mates, because none of them approached me about it. The clock was indeed called on me several times; but the clock was called on other players at my tables as well (some only once or twice and others more than that). I myself had occasion to call the clock on players during some hands. I think the key issue that has been raised with respect to my play was whether or not I was angle shooting (which prior to reading the threads here, was a new term to me). Some have speculated that I was; but anyone who knows me, or knows how inexperienced I am to big tournament play, would know that I could not have dreamed up such a scheme. As I said before, I was faced with critical decisions during those moments, and it honestly did take me as long as I took to make those decisions. In fact, on one occasion I simply couldn’t decide, the clock was called on me and my hand was declared dead. Obviously, players with more experience than me (such as those who frequent the twoplustwo boards) would have been able to make those decisions much quicker than I did. I appreciate that and you can be sure that one of the aspects of my game that I have been working on is my ability to make decisions in an almost second nature fashion. But this only comes with experience. In any case, I can take a joke just as well as the next gal, so…

I don't know if Tiffany is qualified to write a poker column. However, I do know that if she wrote one, it would take her a really, really, really, really, really . . . long time.
