She was adamantly against men playing in the ladies event and even called out Shaun Deeb at the table. Amy and I asked her about being a woman at the table, and whether people treated her differently and she responded matter of factly, “I am a butch lesbian, so my experience is different than a lot of women.” Dr. Kamikaze explained that she felt her image worked to her advantage in the Ladies Event, in that she was able to bond with the other ladies at the table, but also had a more intimidating, aggressive image. Kami also talked a bit about the acceptance of gays and lesbians in poker, and the lack of sponsorships for openly gay players. I’m sure Dr.Chisholm was thrilled when she found out shortly after our chat that Vanessa Selbst has been signed with pokerstars!

Cookie is a player and a promoter, member of the Pokerica team and organizer of an upcoming poker tournament series in Croatia. Her favorite hand is queen nine suited, an inadvertent plug for 9queens! Unfortunately for me, Cookie has my header dominated. Speaking of which, I added a gallery by photographer extraordinaire Suzy Gorman to my photo page.
