Title: Cat Hulbert: How I got rich beating men at their own game

Interesting, funny and pretty random and bizarre article. Worth a read despite the terrible headline. Anybody know or aware of this lady?

Apparently she was a blackjack card counter of some renown, & was eventually banned from pretty much everywhere.

This article suggests she won a WSOP Bracelet in 1993.....

...whereas THM suggest she only finished 4th in an 82 runner WSOP Ladies Event in the same year;

Seems like she is earning money by being a self publicist with, perhaps, a touch of embellishment.

Good luck to her! An interesting story/lady. She must have made an absolute killing, having a decent grasp of the game when internet poker first kicked off.
