Continuing a long line of careers and exploits where I find myself in the minority, I have upped the ante even further by being a minority within a subculture that is its own extreme minority: the professional poker player and a female at that. While this may describe to a close approximation my actual personality, I also pursue the peaceful endeavors of creativity wherever I can find them. These writings are my attempt to reconcile the disparities inherent in a lifestyle that has no easy template.
