Susie
Isaacs
She says she plans her games, and she
wins, yet she says it’s all luck.
Wow! Susie Isaacs is a poker player who
has moved a long way from Nashville —
where she grew as a Southern Belle (as
she puts it) — to the city of Las
Vegas.
She started playing poker as soon as
she started counting, at age 4 or 5. Her
first bankroll was $2.35 that she managed
to get by selling her best comic book
collection.
It was in 1986 that she moved to Las
Vegas and realized that she knew almost
nothing about the strategies of the game.
Of course, she didn’t give up. Her
competitive nature resulted in her mastering
the competitive poker.
She became the first woman to win the
World Series of Poker ladies championship
back-to-back in 1996 and 1997, and as
you know that’s history.
In 1998, she placed 10th in the World
Series of Poker $10,000 event vying for
the one million dollar first prize. Isaacs
became the second woman in history to
accomplish such an outstanding finish.
She won many titles over the past 15
years and has been writing columns and
features for Casino Player, Strictly Slots,
Poker Digest and Card Player.
If you are from the reading folk, you
must know that she has authored a book
titled MsPoker: Up Close and Personal.
And the second edition of this book is
in process.
Even if you are not from the reading
folk, read this book; because it’s
about her personal story, poker strategy,
and of course, sex!
Her life goal, she says, is to make poker
socially acceptable and get corporate
sponsorship and more women in the game.
Just keep waiting. This goal of hers is
already becoming reality with the advent
of world poker tour.
