Tons of players have got their turn in the Player Spotlight and won a tournament ticket just by e-mailing me at hollay@hollywoodpoker.com! So, if you’re interested in being centre-stage for a week, just drop me a line telling me a bit about yourself. If you’re selected, you automatically win a ticket to the Michael Woods Celebrity Invitational or the Hollywood Poker Celebrity Classic!
In this week’s Player Spotlight, meet Kelliekrop24!
I've been at Hollywood Poker for several months now and I can't tell you how much this great group of people has made me feel at home, from the regulars to the support staff.
My first experience with poker started about 20+ years ago in Reno NV playing 7 Card Stud. I lived in Northern California, so a few times a year we would venture over the hill to Reno or Tahoe to do a bit of gambling. I soon found that Blackjack or Slots bored me crazy, but I found my love of cards at the poker tables.
Over the years I just played 7 Card, but 2 years ago, my family moved to Las Vegas. Well needless to say, when you live here you have lots of visitors. My father in law became interested in Texas Hold’em, so I would take him downtown to play. He preferred playing at Binions Horseshoe so that is where I first was introduced to Texas Hold’em. I loved it!
Soon after that I decided to check out online poker. I use a Mac and so I found that most sites didn't support Mac until I ran across Hollywood Poker. Well, from the first day I knew this was the place for me. I really enjoy interacting with people online and missed online chat. You see, I had done a lot of online chatting for years and then when I moved to Las Vegas, I really hadn’t made too many friends. It was nice to make some new friends online. I started chatting online about ten years ago and ended up meeting a great guy named Tom. After about 1 year we got engaged and married March of 1998. Back then it was unusual to meet people from online and everyone including my family thought I was nuts. Now, they all love him as much as I do. I really hit the jackpot meeting Tom.
Speaking of online friends, I met Tuffgurl just this last week in Vegas. We were both playing in a Sit N Go game and discovered we both live in Vegas.
Tuff and I met for lunch, then of course, some poker. We both had wanted to see the poker room at Green Valley Ranch - a really nice Casino in Henderson that’s just next door to Vegas. It was so great to finally meet my first Hollywood Poker friend. She is a great gal and we both had a blast talking about poker and our experiences at Hollywood Poker.
I hope to meet more people from Hollywood Poker and want to thank Hollywood Poker for having such a great site!
