In this week's Player Spotlight, meet msdebbie1!
Everyone at the tables knows me as msdebbie1, however, being such a familiar face around the site, everyone just calls me ‘Debbie’ or ‘Deb’. I started playing Hold’em poker in 2000 at another site at the invitation of a friend. I first played with play money as I really had no idea how to play poker or even which hands beat which hands. My love for the game grew very fast. My poker skills unfortunately took longer since my daily limit of play money constantly ran out. I never let it get me down as I was also having fun and making a lot of new friends from around the world. As my poker playing got a little better I decided to try playing a little bit with real money. I never made a killing at the tables but I made enough to want to go a little bigger.
My new poker friends then introduced me to the wonderful world of Hollywood Poker where the freerolls were frequent and you didn't need to have points to collect your winnings. The number of players in the freerolls at that time were only a couple of hundred and I found myself on the final table quite often and earning some cash that allowed me to play in larger real money tournaments for free. The number of players in the freerolls has greatly increased since I first began playing them here, however, I still do fairly well at them. I don't play the freerolls as much as I used to as I now like a faster return on my time and stick mostly to playing Sit ‘n’ Go’s or tournaments. I love playing the Michael Woods Celebrity Invitational Tournament and try to play it every week. Yes, I've even won some money playing in it - and if I can, anyone can!
The players at this site are pretty great. The chat during the games is a lot of fun and it allows you to get to know the other players. Although it's no fun to get bad beats, everyone needs to be a good sport about it since it happens to us all and is part of the game.
My wish for the holiday season is:
1. I never lose again on an all-in call!
2. That everyone gets a royal flush at least once so they can feel good and brag about it!
3. That all my Hollywood Poker friends have a joyous and prosperous New Year!
See you at the tables!
