Five months and 25 tweets later, I just can't seem to get into it like everyone else but it is a great tool. As for your tweets, I think they are great. I do not need to know every detail as a lot of things do not matter and some are just to personal. I love the "Twit Pics" when you show us how fast your driving...LOL and your "Good morning Twitter Peeps" which always seems to put a smile on my face. The Stalkers/Crazies will always be out there so just be careful on what you post. Keep doing what you're doing because you put a smile on someones face everyday. Take care and have a wonderful day...:) Alan Good morning Liz, I joined Twitter back in June because it seemed like the thing to do because everyone was talking about it.

You joined twitter around the same time i did, I think you were like my 50th follow, and you've always responded to questions or comments I've sent you; even now when u have eleventy thousand followers. Not just me, but all of my twitter poker buddies (tricia for one, carse for another). There are people in the poker world and poker media world who are constantly bragging about their thousands of followers and how they 'keep in touch with their fanbase through twitter', but they aren't actually doing that. They are keeping their followers updated, which is fine, but you actually 'get' twitter and social media, and use it to interact with the people who support or cheer for you in two way conversations. In *real* two way conversations, light or trivial as they may be. I believe that you more than anyone in the poker world have harnessed the power of twitter in a way to not just tell your fans how great you are, but in actually creating fan respect, and allowing people to see you as a live human being rather than just the poker pro final tabling or sweating quin do at the APT. THAT has power, and that has earned you my respect as a savvy business person, and a friendly person, not just as a smart poker player. I think that the fame foisted upon poker pros the last ten years by nature comes with some bad elements (stalkers, creeps, timewasters) and the fact that you're a young and very attractive woman probably adds to that. Will twitter itself exacerbate that issue? maybe, maybe not...but the I would think the good is outweighing the bad on that front, isn't it? Anyways, blah blah blah i'm rambling...maybe see you next week i'm gonna try and come down and sweat u. As I mentioned in my tweet, i'm not playing the event this year, but I want to come down and watch for a bit if i can.

As you know I travel all around the world so like you I use twitter for a variety of reasons, especially to keep connected to my friends from home. The media creates the word ‘fame’, and actually you “ordinary” folk are no different from me, away from the poker table I am as ordinary as you. I try to highlight this in my tweets, allowing people to see a more natural side to me. I do agree with you regarding the number of followers, twitter is a social network site, by having millions of followers that bridge is burnt. I think a lot of people, famous or ordinary do fall into that trap, and it becomes a game to see who can get the most twitter followers, sometimes self-importance overrides the original reason why they started it in the first place. I’ll try my best to keep everyone updated as much as I could during my tournament plays. But no promises though .. :) hehe .. cause when I’m in my zone at the table .. everything is blocked out completely except for what’s in front of me at the time… which is the 8 or 9 players at the table.

I can’t say I know much about NFL football, but I’m glad that you enjoy following my poker updates :). Although I have quite inconsistent with my updates. Hehe. I travel constantly, I too find twitter a great tool to allow me to follow the news around the world, so like you I find real time updates a great help. gkraider-

There are several reasons as to why I don’t often post updates on my cash, online, and tournament plays. 1- Whenever I sit down at a poker game and playing for big money, I want to focus 100% on my game and avoid any distraction that could possibly throw me off my game. 2- Posting updates on how certain hands have been played out could be a big disadvantage for any player. It could give away a tell on the style of play and the players level of aggressiveness on a certain day. Gaz-

I really respect any female that has the strength and determination to succeed in poker. And even though you’ve had to face and deal with one of the most painful experience that anyone has to go through. You didn’t allow it or them to bring you down but instead you’ve shown so much strength by still maintaining a positive outlook. You are a WINNER Trisha! Remember .. My words still stands with what I have said to you in one of our personal chats on twitter. I’m all ears! Trisha Peña-

It makes it a little more interesting, allowing all my twitter peeps to see another side of my life other than just poker. A lot of my friends play poker so its always nice to get updates on how they are doing, but I enjoy reading their tweets even more when it is about random things going on in their lives, shows we are all in the same boat.
