Liz was very quick at getting back to us with answers to your questions

You can view the interview here



On 30th November 2005 she was crippled at the 2nd last table of the Bellagio 5 diamonds with 2k but grinded her way back to make the final table with 40k. Fingers crossed she finishes well and picks up a good pot.

Thanks again to Liz for taking the time to do this for us

Chalk one up for the "Yes" category.

Question : (From BSQUAD)

First of all, congratulations on your recent success and thank you for taking the time to join us here at Texas Holdem Forums.A recent debate came up lately here at the forum and a few of our members chimed in with their thoughts. I wanted to get a proffesional players point of view.. So heres the scenario:

Its the very first hand of the WSOP and your in the Big Blind and you look down to see Pocket Aces. Everyone folds except the Small Blind ( an obvious rookie ) who announces "ALL-IN"!! . The question is.. Do you call? and why or why not?

Answer :

Thanks for the congratulations. I would, of course, call. Regardless of everyone’s thinking about getting knocked out quickly, this is how you build up chips. I would basically never fold pocket aces in almost any situation. AA is the best possible hand you can find and if you aren’t willing to play that hand, than what would you be willing to play? I’m not afraid of busting out early in a tournament. I would rather give myself the chance to get ahead early and win it.
