Cyndy Violette - Professional Poker PlayerCyndy Violette, born August 19, 1959 in Queens NY, is a professional poker player who makes her home in Las Vegas. Growing up in Vegas from the age of 12, Cyndy loved playing cards with her uncle, but didn't get serious about poker until much later. Like many other poker players, she began by dealing some blackjack and poker and in 1984, decided to enter a poker tournament at Lake Tahoe. With the small bankroll to get started, she went on to win $74,000 at the Golden Nugget in Vegas. Subsequently, having just met her second husband, Cyndy took a two-year break from the game, but was back in 1990 at Caesar's Palace. Once again, her love of poker took over and she was spending even more time in Vegas and LA, while keeping her residence in Washington State.Do you want instant cash bonuses; sign-up and reload bonuses?

She made a fortune here, playing 7-card stud, beginning with $75 - $150 games and moving up to $2,000 - $,4,000 higher stakes. Deciding to remain here, she purchased a home, which she still uses as a refuge and haven, for her time away from playing poker. The highlight of her professional poker career came in 2004 with the winning of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet in the 7-card stud hi-low tournament. In 2005, Cyndy placed among the three final tables at the WSOP, with six cash winnings, and again, in 2006 cashed in over $188,000. Cute, blonde, with a sparkling personality and smile to match, Cyndy enjoys people and keeps a positive attitude in loving poker and life. Her playing style is friendly and perceptive, a mixture of skill and daring. Cyndy is a vegetarian and an advocate of healthy living, and her ambition in life is to open a natural food and vegetarian cafe, along with a bookstore, probably in Vegas. She has appeared on a number of television shows including "The Superstars of Poker," "Poker Royale Pro/ Celebrity Tournament," and the WSOP, televised on ESPN, in addition to playing poker in Vegas and LA. She also devotes much of her time to her one daughter, Shannon, as well as to her own website, CyndyViolette.com, where you can read some of her articles on her poker life. She plans to open an online store in the near future that will feature poker-oriented clothing, books, and novelties, as well as inspirational items for living life to the fullest.
