Things can go really bad in poker, and they can go really, really good.
Like pummel-me-with-a-tire-iron-just-to-let-me-know-this-is-real type good.
As I write this, Anna Wroblewski is among the chip leaders at the end of Day 2 of the $25,000 buy-in WPT Championship at the Bellagio. First prize is $3.9 million.
Her main games are the $1-2 NL games at Ballys and Paris Las Vegas. I say they are her main games but that may change after her recent score. I've played with her a half dozen times. She's a 21-year-old self-described "crazy Asian girl." At the tables she is joking, flirting, playing mind games, drinking. She probably doesn't break 100 lbs. on the scales, so she gets drunk fast. She has a dangerous, spewy playing style. She went broke recently and had to wait tables. But she got together a bankroll (with or without help from friends, I don't know) and took a shot at a $3,000 buy-in preliminary event a week ago. She felted Barry Greenstein and Shannon Shorr in a single hand with a two-outer on the river. Then she won the whole thing. The score? Close to $350K plus entry to the WPT Championship. Sweetness and light.
Re-Bet played with Anna just once and his opinion of her game is such that when he found out about her recent success he asked, "Is there no Justice?" Yes, he said it with a capital J.
Carolina John told me today that I reminded him of Sylar from the show "Heroes." So I was trying to think of who he reminded me of and I realized that Danny Nguyen not only plays like him but looks like him.

Re-Bet,
The whole world just watched me school you in the Sidebet Challenge, and now you're saying I should be your student?
Apparently, this is what you look like when you are staring into your opponent's soul:
