Jayde Nicole: Poker Playboy Hottie

Jayde Nicole, the 2008 Playboy Playmate of the Year, has recently taken to the felt with an appearance on the PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge. PokerNews caught up with the 23-year-old to discuss how she was introduced to poker, who'd she'd rather bluff, and what she would do with a World Series of Poker bracelet.

Jayde Nicole first started to play poker with her boyfriend Brody Jenner who loves poker. He has big poker games from time to time, and Jayde took to the game right away. She then met All In Magazine publisher Kasey Thompson and she agreed to do the "All In Magazine Project" where each month she will be trained with a different professional poker player and track all her progress and results in the pages of the magazine. She was first trained by Jamie Gold, then trained by the Online Player of the Year David " The Maven" Chicotsky, and next up was Daniel Negreanu.

Daniel Negreanu is one of her favorite poker players because of the way he plays the game and also a Canadian like Jayde. So many poker players seem to have big egos, and Daniel is so sweet and fun to be around.

Jayde Nicole is getting serious about poker and plans to take her game to the professional poker circuit. And she is planning to play two to three poker tournaments at online casinos each week. She also playing in an Ante Up for Africa event this week, and then playing in the PokerStars Caribbean Challenge in the Bahamas in January.
