#1 Why did you chose your Railbird.com screen name/ what does it mean?

lol.. well I figured it was my ID on PS and FT, so why change a good thing?? and the name is actually due to my ex telling me I had a cats spirit and my fantasy animal is a unicorn lol.. so I combined the two..

#2 How would you define your style of play?

oh definitely too tight lol.. I need to learn to loosen up a bit.. then when I do, its usually too much lol

#3 Poker Achievements?

I've come in 3rd on a railbirds 5.50 gtd

#4 what brought you to join railbirds in the first place, and what keeps u here ?

my OLDest sister, Snowy270 (:P) told me about it, and I have stayed because there are some really friendly people here

#5 Which pro would you like to face in a HU match and why?

oh gosh, to play well enough to make it HU with any pro would be cool.. I like a lot of them, Chris Ferguson, Annie Duke, Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson.. I think I could learn alot from any of them. And I would probably piss of Matusow, or Hellmuth with my play lol..

#6 how have you improved your game...was it by lots of practice, was it by books you have read and if so, which books, was it by playing live ??

I am definitely a BEGINNER.. but I would have to say a combination of playing (ALOT) and watching a lot of tournaments, learning how the pros play.. and how the not so pros play lol.

#7 Who are 5 players you look up to on railbirds and why? or Who do you think based on what you've seen or read, would you like to face heads up on railbirds?

well I dont know a lot of people on Railbirds yet, so I would have to say the few I know, I guess Quasipro as he seems to have a good handle on his game and I have never watched him play HU so it would be interesting to see how much he loosens/tightens up in HU, Katchagirl because she is always looking to improve her game, konawajim because then maybe i could beat her in something since i cant catch her on the ranking lol..Sapphos because I know she wouldnt go easy on me.. she plays to win and My sis, just cos its great to get a win over her lol..

#8 How do you play differently in tournaments vs. cash games?

in freerolls I think I am a little bit looser, since I have nothing to lose??

#9 What would you consider a weakness in your game/ something you need to improve?

the tightness of my play. I know there are times that "TIGHT" is a good thing, but not always in Poker lol.

#10 What are some typical "TELLS" that a online poker player gives ?

I am HORRIBLE at reading "Tells" lol. I havent figured that one out yet... overbetting maybe? going all in on a small pp..

#11 How Has Railbirds.com helped your game play?

its definitely gotten me playing more often, and then reading some of the stuff about how this should of been played, etc.

#12 Best Moment in a trny ?

definitely when I came in 3rd (although I would of been much happier coming in first lol..) and won 59 bucks lol.

#13 Most recent trny win?: (non railbird trny)

Gosh I dont know.. maybe a SNG?? does that count?? lol.. I usually only play the $1 ones so it wasnt much..

#14 Who introduced you to poker ?

People in my family have played for years, I can remember sitting around my Aunts house watching them all get drunk playing poker with their change..

#15 How does your strategy help in Freerolls provided by Railbirds.com?

I honestly don't think playing as tight as I do helps in the freerolls, but I try to stay tight til further into the game at least.. then its time to start loosening up.

#16 If there wasn't Poker, what would you be doing? Gosh NO POKER??

I guess I would spend my time at the gym, taking care of my kids and my house, waiting for my husband to get back from deployment.. I like to scrapbook.. and I love a good book.. or going to the beach..
