Quote: "I play a very solid game, perhaps even more so than before because players in general are looser than they once were. I adjust to the players all the time. Obviously tournaments today are much harder to win due to the large fields but there is more money to win in compensation, it just adds greater variance to your bankroll."
Poker fans about Kathy Liebert: "She is one of the best poker players in the world. Male or female, she is world class. Bad players do not win major poker event, that's just a fact. Give the lady respect - she is one of the best!"
"I used to be a big fan of Kathy Liebert until I picked up on her trend of being mouthy and whiney at the table. The time she really lost me was when she got mouthy with Choa Giang on Superstars 2." "I think Kathy Libert is a great player, with a great "poker" personality. Who cares what she looks like? It can actually be a big problem when another player finds you attractive. They won't call your bets unless they have the nuts, they never check-raise you and they even check it down to the river. It's very frustrating when you are trying to play some real poker and your opponents don't take you seriously at all."
