Shannon Elizabeth - Oh my...

[Talking Poker]

I was just watching some of today's NBC Heads Up Championship and they interviewed Shannon Elizabeth after her first round win, asking her what she credited for her success. I thought her response was worthy of it's own thread, instead of putting in in the NBC HU one.

It's not online yet, but she said - and I'm not kidding you here - "positive visualization" (I think that's what she called it). She said she was concentrating really hard, focusing on the cards she needed and not letting images of the ones that would hurt her come into her head.

Oh my.

Must be nice to be a hot female celebrity who can spell the word poker, so you can get into this tourney as opposed to being a deserving player who can actually play.

(Yes, I'm still bitter because she called my all in with 55 and knocked me out of a tourney in 2005)
