Ladies Limit Hold Em on ESPN
Anyone else watching this event? Jeena Burnett was pretty annoying when she was chanting "no heart, no heart" but you have to admit, she's pretty hot, esp. for a poker player.
The more I see of Annie Duke the more I hate her.

Re: Ladies Limit Hold Em on ESPN
Is it me or does Annie Duke have a major chip (pun intented) on her shoulder? Her elitest and condescending comments re: the ladies tourney solidified my dislike for her. Perhaps the REAL reason she didn't play in the ladies tourney is that she was too scared of not winning it and being humiliated. I don't care how good of a player she is, she needs to start showing some class instead of acting like white trash. If she wasn't Howard Lederer's sister, I wonder how much airtime she'd get.
Nice outfit, though---LOL. Extreme makeover, anyone?

i felt the same way. my mom thinks the real reason she didn't enter was the prize was so meager it wasn't worth it, but she really came across sounding like a bitch. [/ QUOTE ] I definitely think thats why she didn't play...just not worth her tim.e

Re: Ladies Limit Hold Em on ESPN
I tried to watch as objectively as possible, but there were some pretty ridiculous moments at that final table.
Was it just me, or was everyone very catty towards each other? Little to no handshaking, no respect amongst each other, etc. Vicious staredowns also. It all seemed very immature, really. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] Very true, and it's certainly her prerogative to play in whichever tournies she chooses. I just think that her explanation for not playing in the ladies tourney was delivered in a way that makes her seem insecure and patronizing. Most people that are truly successful in something and DO NOT feel insecure, don't need to constantly trumpet their resume to whomever will listen.

Re: Ladies Limit Hold Em on ESPN
Why should Annie or any of the best women in the world play in a womens only tourney when they are clearly good enough to compete and win in a regular event.
I am not even clear why they need a womens only event. Can you imagine if they decided to have a mens only event! Ken

Re: Ladies Limit Hold Em on ESPN
There are two big problems with this which is why I didn't bother to watch:
1. the whole idea of a "ladies" tournement is BS, this isn't a physical sport, its a freakin card game, lets get real. No need for seperate womens events. 2. Its a limit tourny. I would rather play bingo than play a limit tourny and there is about that much skill involved.
