Christina Lindley: Model Turned Poker Pro

A well known model of lingerie from Maxim and Playboy magazines. Her poker life began about four years back when she did a commercial for an online poker room in which she played Antonio Esfandiari’s girl friend. She became more serious on playing poker, since then, famous poker pros has been her tutors.

Christina took to playing poker during the writer’s strike in Hollywood. She wrote a concept for a poker show, which she showed to Kasey Thompson the owner of ALL IN poker magazine. One does not know what happened to the show, but Christina was introduced to the world of poker brand ambassadors.

Then Christina began to prepare herself for that lifestyle. She ate poker, she drank poker and she lived poker. Poker shows, poker books, live poker tournaments and online poker tournaments became her staple diet. To top it all she received constant coaching from some of the top pros in the industry. Christina also realized that is a difference between male and female poker players.

This led to her third poker activity. Christina has decided to form a team of lady poker players. She calls the team TWC. She does not want to say what the initials stand for but it should not be too difficult to guess. One of the reasons for this stems from her observation that there is bonhomie among the guys on the poker circuit, but there is bitchiness among the women. Christina intends to change this. She feels that if she succeeds women will start faring better in tournaments.
