Have you heard of The Grindettes — four women with unique backgrounds who play poker for a living? If so, you’re familiar with Katie Stone, a former chess player who made the transition to poker in 2004. Since then, she has become a successful online player, winning more than $160,000 over 14 months by playing approximately 10,000 multitable tournaments with a 49 percent ROI.
Stone, a former equestrian and basketball player who attended the University of Texas, was greatly affected by Black Friday and the disappearance of online poker from United States. She tried live play but ultimately...

Why did you choose Rosarito, Mexico, for your relocation?
Being American I have no desire to integrate with any other culture or learn another language so I found a place full of Americans where everyone spoke with an American accent and they accepted US dollars. So I can continue being a completely ignorant American.
Jesus I'm surprised any of you even made it out of the country on Black Friday you inbred hicks.
