What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I honestly had no idea. I wanted to be a fashion designer for quite some time but I knew that would be almost impossible so I didn’t do anything about it.
Were you a swot at school or a rebel?
I was always the good girl in class. I did my homework for the most part, never talked shit about anyone, and the teachers really liked me [laughs]. But I was never super good or top of the class in too many subjects.
You hit 21 soon - what's the first thing you're going to play in Vegas?
Hopefully I’m appearing on Poker After Dark. I’m still waiting for confirmation that I can play when they're filming at the end of October.
What would you be doing if you weren't a poker player?
I’d still be in school, most likely. I was studying to become an interior decorator before I dropped out, but I wasn’t pleased with that choice. I just did it because of all the pressure on me to finish school and get a degree.
What's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to you?
I have a lot of people sucking up to me all the time now [laughs]. It’s hard to know if some of the nice things they say come from their heart or if they just want to be Annette_15’s friend.
And what's the worst?
I try to forget the negative things that’ve been thrown around. Many people are jealous of my success, say things that aren’t true and just want me to feel like shit because they don’t have what I have. I think I’ve done a good job ignoring most of it.
Tom Dwan - genius or moron?
Definitely genius!
Kittens or poker? You have to choose one, and ONE ONLY.
GG Kitty. Well played, but it wasn’t meant to be.
Tell us a joke.
An old man is finishing off his round of golf. He comes into the clubhouse after he’s done and goes up to the bar, where he sees a menu: Hamburger - $3; Cheeseburger - $3.50; Beer - $5; Handjob - $50. The guy sees a beautiful young bartender and she approaches him, almost knowing exactly what he is staring at.
"Can I help you?" she says.
"Are you the one who gives the handjobs?" asks the old man.
She smiles and winks at him. "Yes Sir, I am."
"Then wash your hands," says the old man, “’Cause I'll have a cheeseburger."
Dream poker table - you and 5 people, alive or dead.
Phil Hellmuth, “durrrr”, Phil Ivey, Phil Galfond, “Full_Flush”. How much fun would that be!
Tell us a secret.
I love to play SingStar on my PS3 when I’m home alone.
When was the last time you cried?
I'm a total crybaby. If I see a really romantic movie I’ll shed a tear, or maybe when I watched the final of 'The Bachelor' and shit like that, I get really happy and cry too. Generally I cry happy tears.
What are your best and worst qualities?
My best is that I’m pretty outgoing. I laugh a lot and I like to have fun. There’s no reason to live if you’re not going to enjoy every second of it! My worst is that I’m too honest and I’ve gotten burnt a lot of times as a result.
What do you hate most in other people?
That nobody’s ever on time. I must be the only person in the universe who’s never late.
Who's better - John Tabatabai or Sorel Mizzi?
They're both very good in different ways. Everyone always think they're better, so I'll keep their egos that way for now.
If you could go back in time, where and when would you go?
I would rather go to the future and observe the end of the world.
How do you spend your free time when you're in England?
I shop. A lot.
How would you spend your last 24 hours on Earth?
Wow. I don’t know. I think I’d want to spend the last minutes by myself.
Have you lied at any point in this interview?
Like I said earlier, I'm a very honest person. Everything you’ve just read is true [laughs]. |
