Main Article

I would suggest that "moniker" not the best choice to describe her online poker name. It's a slang word and even if understood as a nickname it doesn't convey that she is seen by other online players as Annette_15. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.129.121.63 (talk) 11:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

"considered to be" in lead

I have a problem with the wording in the lead for the phrase "She is considered be one of the best online multi-table tournament players in the world." It is both peacock and weasel. The cited reference is befuddling: it indicates no author for the statement. The statement, the lead, and the article could be strengthened by making a more concrete assertion along the lines of "Poker Player Online named her one of the top ten online multi-table tournament players in the world^[1]"—or something to that effect.

publicity stunt?

I don't see how it is accurate to call Annette's winning of the sit n go without looking at her cards as a "publicity stunt", as far as I am aware she simply did it for fun and then posted the hand history on a couple of popular online poker messageboards as a bit of a brag, and to show the importance of playing position and opponents. There was no planned intention to create publicity for anything. --218.101.3.5 21:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

:Good point. I changed the sentence. 2005 22:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
