Both. Having a degree in Physics must make the math part of poker more easy for her.

Besides a good poker player she is also a scientist and a guitar player. I always cheer for her to win.

Of course she gets the attention that she gets based on her looks. She is a good player though.

To borrow from another site:
Apparently, it's impossible for women to be smart and beautiful at the same time. :rolleyes: I can't believe shite like this is STILL brought up. Makes me wonder why there's still a debate on why more women aren't in poker. :puke:

If you're not a good player and you enter the level of buy-ins that she does you will find yourself broke pretty damn fast. Of course she is a good player, nobody hands over chips at the table for free. She may get sponsorship advantages because she is good looking (like Kournikova did in tennis) but that's it.

Hello.
My favorite player, no doubt, is Liv Boeree and maybe Vanessa Russo.
In my opinion, they are the best.

Watch her play, there's literally hundreds of clips out there.. she's damn good.

Kind of a silly question here.

She has multiple degrees in advanced mathematics which obviously means she’s very intelligent. She has won millions in tournaments. Obviously she gets less credit because double standards and being an attractive woman. She’s not still hanging around in today’s difficult poker climate because she’s a pretty face. Obviously she’s doing something right.

Obviously she is pretty.
But in my opinion, she plays poker at a fairly high level.
I think her achievement is a daily hard work.

She is a good player but is over-hyped and overrated.

I have no doubt she is a great poker player regardless of her appearance .. i do wonder if it gives her a little advantage tho to be so distracting to some of the "social awkward" players lol

She's obviously a pretty good player. It's likely she gets slightly more TV time, access to higher games due to her being a "rare" type of player (attractive female) but that seems fair given that she probably has to take a fair bit of crap.

She's okay. I think it's mostly marketing. Any girl that plays poker will attract attention for male players, which the market is mostly. She probably hasn't been through the hells a real professional has to do to try and pay bills.

I watched a lot of broadcasts with her participation in tournaments and cash games and I believe that Liv Bori is a good poker player, and the fact that she is a beautiful girl is very good for her to be a poker marketing, I really like and very pleased to see her in poker at tournaments !

My opinion

I never saw her. Heres how you can tell. If a man makes that move is he great. If he is great then Liz should be great.

I like Liv Boeree. She is the star of poker reportages. She combines marketing, beauty and a good poker player.

Yes, 4 million in poker winnings, I just don't know how she manages to be rated as a good poker player while being pretty. I'm sure she needs to leave the game to the "real" professionals. :rolleyes:

I saw a clip where Phil Helmuth tried to slow-play pockets aces OOP against her. I Would never do that. I was in a state of shock after I saw that. What was he thinking? You have to at least try to build the pot up after the flop.
Although I do agree that her beau Igor is a much better player than she is.
