Most people know Cyndy Violette from the women's show on the World Poker Tour. When she was 22 years old she was pregnant, dealing blackjack and poker at a downtown Las Vegas casino, and almost broke, but still managed to find the money needed to play low-limit poker games to satisfy her thirst for the game. Very quickly, her bankroll grew and she played in higher limit games. In the mid-80's she began playing more seriously at higher stakes Stud games. When she got married she stopped playing poker for a couple of years. But after her divorce she decided to move to Atlantic City where she mopped up the games. Violette works only on the weekends, when the games are filled with celebrities, famous businessmen and multimillionaires willing to drop tons of money. She plays $150/$300 up to $400/$800 where she has 5-figure swings and travels around the world, wherever a juicy game can be found.
