I’ve been having another crazy week (in a bad way). There seems to be a lot to do and this week will stay busy right until the end. When Sunday comes, I am determined to have at least one week with a normal schedule this month.
My PokerStars interview did not go perfectly, but it was overall okay. I was watching my brother at the time and earlier on in the day I had warned him that I was going to get an important phone call, so PLEASE leave me alone during it. Of course he did not listen. While I was on the phone I could hear him yelling at me in the background even through my closed door. After like the 4th time I asked the guy to hold on and told him to STFU (although not in those words).
The PokerStars rep doing the interviews is in charge of the VIP program I think. Very nice guy. The interview ended up being a test of my poker aptitude. I was slightly surprised by this. He asked me about the games I play, and then he gave me some hand scenarios, asking me to walk him through my thought process. I messed up one hand but overall I think it went fine. At the very least I showed him that I understand position and ranges, which should put me ahead of 80% of the women that make it this far 😛
Now it is, once again, a waiting game. His report gets sent to the casting team in LA and if they are interested in me, they get back to me in January. Then I go to LA for a screen test. So this is almost the end of the selection process! Apparently they get back to me no matter what, and the longer I don’t hear from them, the better.
