I would normally register late to gain that slight advantage. Janet: WPT BestBet was very foreign to me mainly because the field was so small, and I am used to hundreds of runners. Q: How did the WPT BestBet Jacksonville tournament compare with other tournaments you’ve played? I won two more circuit rings (New Orleans and Grosvenor UK) and had so much fun along the way that I have decided I really need a bracelet now! But I did not like the idea of coming off the road so I decided to continue on and pay my poker dues. I had just left a 20-year position that year after a bad fall on the job. Still my friend said to keep all the winnings, put them in the bank and get another real job. I had much success plus a circuit ring from the Tunica stop. With the help of a family friend, I set off to play six WSOP Circuit stops. I decided that poker was my new favorite game. On Sunday, I finished fourth in the $580 event and left with over $22,000. I decided to play the ladies event on Saturday, where a friend said, “Wow, you bagged second in chips!” I had no idea – and still didn’t know what bagged meant. I played the first of two flights on a Friday and bagged - though I had no clue what that meant except that I was to come back Sunday to finish playing. It all got very real in 2015 when I won my entry into a WSOP Circuit $580 event in West Palm Beach. I played by the seat of my pants for a long time knowing nothing of position or bet sizing. At first, I played just for kicks (and some extra cash) and had never read anything or been taught anything about poker. I have always been a game player and poker seemed as fun as any. Janet: Let me begin by saying how thrilled I am to be a part of Poker League of Nations and The PLONpower Investment Group and to be chosen to go and compete for us in the WPT BestBet Jacksonville event. Tell us a bit about yourself and your poker lifestyle. We caught up with Janet this week to ask about her experience. Janet is the second player to be sponsored in Q4 by the investment group. Janet Fitzgerald of West Palm Beach, Florida, was recently selected by the PLONpower Investment Group to be sponsored in the October 13 WPT BestBet Jacksonville $1,100 NLHE event.
