miss brown, who has had an illustrious and interesting career as an advantage player, is writing a book, and has started a blog about advantage play and life in general. For those who haven't had the privilege of meeting her in person, I can tell you that she is a stunning young woman who has had a long, successful career in several types of high-stakes AP.
Of course, high-stakes play in any casino-related venture usually brings about scrutiny, and eventually hassles. She has had her share of hassles, including being one of the victims in a cash-seizure case that wound its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. It is the only advantage-player case I can think of that has gone all the way to the SCOTUS (Hiibel was not an AP case, despite Bob Nersesian's involvement). Though the legal result wasn't what she wanted, the money stolen by the government was eventually returned, primarily because of an honest Assistant U.S. Attorney who recognized the wrongfulness of the seizure and took it upon herself to get the money back to its rightful owners.
I remember seeing miss brown in the field early in her career when she and I were playing some of the same hole-card games in downtown Las Vegas. She was often a few steps ahead of me, getting to those low-hanging-fruit games first. Ah, the good old days.
I think her blog will be fun, and I look forward to the book. Here's the link to her site: rxgamble.com Comments are welcome.
