It's Tiffany Michelle... and it's my turn to talk!

I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has taken the time to write me. I'm absolutely flattered by the love, attention, kind words and support that I've been showed.

Of course there will always be haters and I have been appalled at some of the nasty messages I've received from complete strangers who I've never had a conversation with a day in my life. They somehow feel it is their place to judge me based on four episodes of POKER television. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I truly am sorry if watching me on TV rubbed anyone the wrong way. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to weed through the editing and TV screen and see the real time and real scenarios in which my words and actions occurred. Furthermore, if you don't personally know me and you may not understand my joking and sarcastic personality at the tables where I'm just having some fun and harmless banter with the boys. Before you judge remember that you saw 7 EDITED TV hours of a tournament that I played for an entire week and close to 100 hours of time. I don't think there is a single person who I played with live who would walk away and say anything negative about how I personally treated them at the tables or that I didn't show respect to my fellow table mates.

It's obvious that by being a woman in a male dominated field/sport I will come under ten times more scrutiny than the man sitting next to me. There were so many comments and behaviors by other players that I observed in watching the WSOP coverage that make some of my comments which have received harsh criticism... laughable. It's unfair that I am being held to a different standard than my fellow male players but HEY, life isn't fair, poker sure as hell is not and as the minority in this industry I just have to accept that as status quo.

At the end of the day poker is a competition. Everyone is trying to win. There are bound to be squabbles in the midst of the game but that doesn't mean that off the felt that player isn't a kind and good person. Kobe Bryant is sure to foul someone while running the court trying to make and block a basket. Wayne Gretzky has his share of penalties and body checks. Every word and action is heightened in the midst of an intense competition where the goal is to BEAT the other player. Emotions run high and frustration can inevitably lead to arguments and moments of losing your 'cool' and sanity. Not to mention the huge psychological factor that is present specifically in the game of poker, which induces words and actions that someone would never implement in their daily life.

No, I am not a dainty little girl who is prim and proper. I never have been. I was never the kid who wanted to go play with Barbies with the other girls, you'd more readily find me racing with and playing sports with the boys. I love competition! You won't find me at a poker table batting my lashes and blowing kisses to the other players. I am a young woman with a little spice and attitude who isn't afraid to jump into a male dominated game that involves aggression, psychology, and mathematics (These very charictaristics of the game aren't usually synonomous with being 'lady-like' or a woman) and battle it out with the boys.

I had an amazing time in the WSOP Main Event. I hope that every poker player gets to experience a high in their career like THAT! I have nothing but respect and good will toward each player that I played with and got to know during that week. I feel a special bond with the players who also made it deep in the Main Event and am excited to see them around, give them a hug and hear how their game is going. I know I can't make everyone happy. Not everyone will understand my GAME and if you make a habit of judging people based on what you hear in the media and see on TV then I guess you'll spend most of your life making bad reads. I can assure you that if we ever meet in person I WILL give you the time of day, I WILL be more than happy to talk with you, I WILL bond with you over our love and frustration with the game of poker, I WILL treat you with kindness and respect... and yes, maybe even harass you a little for playing 6-7 to a raise... even if it was SUITED!!

i thought i got rid of you

edit: lol at "sport"

Too long. Didn't read. You are a dirty cunt. Learn some class.

I wish when you shoved with AJ that the guy with AA would have waited until you called clock on him to call your all in.

BTW horrible push. That is why you aren't a "world class" player. Phillips isn't and even he could tell the smooth call was a set.

I stopped reading after "thank you." I know you used paragraphs and all but that shit was still waaaaay too long.

Not much to say here that hasn't already been said about you Tiffany.

You came off as a classless bitch on ESPN and you calling the clock on that gentlemen who had a HUGE decision was one of the worst things i've seen since Scotty Nyugen's outburst @ the 50k HORSE event this year.
Every poker forum on the net has threads about how much people hate you for how you acted.

I hope you are proud of yourself.

question: u werent really banging that hollywood homo guy were you? say it aint so!

All the talk of people/chips having a crush on you, really did get tedious.

But saying that, I would still shoot my load in your arse.

her reply mirrors my questions in the other thread almost perfectly. Thanks for answering my questions as I was typing them Tif.

lulz

As someone who both made a mistake in "acting out" too much during my first time playing poker on TV, as well as being unfairly portrayed and edited by ESPN, I respect what you had to say there.

Don't let the haters bother you.

As far as I'm concerned, the only thing worthy of real criticism was your decision to go with UB, but that's another argument for another time.

There is a difference between your edited interview and her calling the clock on someone for a 12 million chip pot at that stage of the biggest tournament in the world. You can't edit that type of no-class'ness.

and then eat the cum after she farts it out

im sick

I guess you got a bit full of yourself since you luckboxed your way so deep in the most talked about tournament of the year. You really do seem like a bitch and I am sure it wasn't just ESPN's editing.

lol hey man the blinds were going up on her short 50 big blind stack.

C'mon....is that really real?

Huge opp for Jewdonk to pop in with a "What do you know about playing deep in a huge tourny donk, I have finished 13th in the million what have you done!"

as far as i can tell youre a semitarded pre-teen beauty pagent casualty who will be long forgotten even before competent players strip you of your winnings and your lifestyle strips you of your sub-pornstar looks.

eat a dick in the rain, youre an utter failure at everything but suicide so please do whatever gods are left a favor and try your damndest to fly.
