Cyndy Violette, the vivacious forty-something poker star, is quickly becoming my favorite poker player. I think she is the prototype for all up and coming poker players. At almost any online chat room, when the question of who is the "hottest" female poker player surfaces; Ms. Violette's is quickly nominated. And yes, she is certainly "hot". With her shapely figure, beautiful blonde locks, and charming smile, Cyndy has surely got it going on. But there is much more to poker pro Cyndy Violette than just her physical charms. Just beneath that appealing exterior lies the heart and mind of a champion. Cyndy Violette has been beating the big boys and earning a very comfortable living at the poker tables for many years now. Her many accomplishments include a World Series of Poker Championship as well as many other major tournament wins and cash finishes. Cyndy has accomplished much in the big money poker tournaments, but her real strength is in the ring games. She is a fixture at the $300-$600 and $400-$800 Stud games most weekends at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. In fact, she has served as Taj Mahal owner Donald Trump's poker coach. But Cyndy Violette also believes in spending a great deal of time away from the felt tables. During the week, she spends her time in quite suburbia twenty minutes away from the hustle and bustle of casino life. Cyndy believes in keeping her life in balance. To this end she regularly practices yoga and eats only natural foods. She even takes her specially prepared meal with her when she goes to play poker. All poker players constantly are looking for an edge while at the tables. Through her well thought out lifestyle, Cyndy Violette gains an edge over most players before she is even dealt in. As if the beer swilling tourists at Atlantic City's poker tables didn't have enough to overcome, they now might find themselves sitting across from a well rested and centered Cyndy Violette! Those tourists and other players who face Cyndy Violette in a high stakes poker game are likely to walk away from the table with pleasant memories. Even in a World Series event, Cyndy exhibits a very pleasant and positive personality. She is always smiling and very personable. But while the other players may leave the tables with fond memories; they'll likely leave with little else. As poker becomes more and more of a mainstream pasttime, it must and will evolve. As more and more tournaments are splashed across television screens, the new face of poker is emerging. The old rough and tough back room rounders are slowly fading away. The new busnesslike pros are taking the stage. Today's big time poker pros will not only make their livelihoods from the actual playing of poker but also from parlaying their new found fame. Poker pros now appear regularly in television commercials and host various TV tournaments. Several pros are endorsing some of the online poker rooms. And there are more poker books on the shelves than ever. Cyndy Violette is perfectly positioned to take advantage of all of this. She is the perfect ambassador for poker's brave new world. Cyndy has brains, beauty, and balance. Cyndy Violette is "hot". |
