Player analysis
Mimi is possibly the biggest money-winning female player. She had exclusively played side games until I coerced her into playing tournaments. In her first 15 events, she had two seconds, a third, a fourth, a 10th, and an 11th-place finish -- all at the World Series of Poker.
Amusing Anecdote
When I started teaching Mimi how to play poker, I would occasionally lend her $100 to play in the $3-$6 game. I told her we had to keep track of the money I gave her or else she might play badly under the assumption I would always give her more money with no consequences. The most she ever owed me at that time was $600.
When she became a higher-stakes player we would often lend each other money. I was the first to owe $50,000. She said, “If one of us ever owes the other $100,000, we’ll quit keeping track and we’ll get married and play out of the same bankroll.”
My expenses were much higher than hers and my spending habits were worse.
Eventually, I owed her $95,000. The next day, I was losing and she asked if I needed any money. I told her I didn’t. She later found out that I had borrowed $5,000 from someone in the game and she almost beat me up.
