I have a question for her... How can she be so disrespectful to other female poker players knowing how hard it is being a minority in the poker world. I can't tell you how often I have been disrespected at a table just because I'm female. Why didn't you want to see other female players to succeed? I always look forward to female players making tv appearance and showing the world what female poker players can do. I just hope players don't look at your antics and stereotype other female poker players as whiney bitchy and rude. I'm sad but feel tiffany did a disservice for other female poker players.

Please ask her about the way ESPN portrayed her in their coverage. If she thought it was fair and if she is believes that her behavior was proud or embarrassed by her ME behvior aside from her play.

I know, it would have been awesome to have like... 3 girls at the final table.

Did anyone else see how it listed her occupation under her name as "professional poker player"? What happened to "aspiring actress"?

Anyways my real thoughts, I read her 2+2 response so obviously she felt she should defend her actions. Still I think the big issue is how she is NOT at all humble. Hevard Khan saw himself on TV and FIXED it. Are we be really hard on Tif? Maybe. Did she do some things that deserved to be called out on (the food, the clock, needling Craig)? Hell yes. If she ever makes another TV appearance (insert joke here) we need to she if there is any improvement before passing judgement. THis is not like a Scotty Nguyen situation (much worse, HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER). That being said, Tif you have an uphill battle to get fans and that does affect sponsorship deals.

If this was earlier in the poker boom, and if she wanted to be the "bad girl" of poker, she'd clean up.

At the EPT in Budapest, there is no dinner break, so lots of people will be eating at the table. I'm sure the complaints from the other players will be minimal.

I just read her response and some other posts.... I just really dislike her whole attitude. I really wanted to like her!!! Her saying that's just how espn made her to be. Now Craig saying espn portrayed her way he saw her act at the table with him. Tiff saying she was just joking around .. But what still bothers me the most was how you hoped and cheered for the other female players to bust out. Just cold.

I like how Ender brought up Hevad he really has grown up and matured it seems but even with all of Hevads cheering he still came across as a likable guy who just showed his emotions much more then others He was still friendly to the other players.

Just hope people don't start stereo typing female poker players as Tiffs

That whole thread on there is amazing. Here talking about Wayne Gretzky body checking people was hideously funny.

My favorite post was the guy talking about how he thought she was the black chick who luckboxed deep in 05. That made me LOL hard.

the best part about that post? she never figured out people would be ****ed at you regradless of being a girl if you did that.

It litterally reeked off "I have a vagina, so I'm getting worse then I should."
