Gambler

The Resume

    (1982-April 13, 2008)
    Born in Dothan, Alabama
    Began her poker career in the late 1990s
    Four major cash wins totaling $40,389
    Biggest win was the Festa al Lago-World Poker Tour Event in Las Vegas, finishing 35th and winning $20,875 (October 20, 2006)
    Suicided in her Los Angeles home at age 26

Why she might be annoying:

    She supplemented her income to gamble by working as a stripper/lap dancer.
    She suffered from major depression and was known for erratic behavior in the poker world.
    She once said of fellow gambler Chantel Mcnutly, 'The girl is a total skank and completely jealous and obsessed with me. Also, I believe she is somewhat of a lesbo. Have you seen her masculine tendencies? She walks like a man and talks like a trashy sailor.'
    When her year long involvement with Brandon Gerson was broken off she trashed his condo.
    She sometimes went by the pseudo name Naami Dea.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was a strong-willed woman who spoke her mind in a male dominated field.
    She actively blogged and chatted with fans and fellow gamblers alike.
    In a lack of taste act, a stripper license she obtained was put up for bid on eBay by a friend of her ex-boyfriend (it was taken down before bidding closed).
    Her ex stated she suffered from a 'very serious untreatable mental illness' and had visited doctors in several states seeking help within the last year-and-a half.
    She died before discovering her true potential as a poker player.
