Cyndy Violette
Cyndy started playing poker professionally at a time when most young, good-looking twenty-somethings were either graduating from college, or getting married and starting families. She started out dealing blackjack in downtown Las Vegas back in 1982, and gradually moved her way to the other side of the table as a player. Violette played low- to middle-limit poker around Las Vegas and California during the poker boom on the 80s. Just when it looked like Violette might become poker's youngest and brightest star, she got married and quit playing poker for a two-year period. Living in Washington State, Violette was away from the poker scene and gradually realized she missed the game and the freedom of the poker playing lifestyle.

If I could change anything in the world: I would have everyone's diet be much healthier and balanced. I would get rid of all the processed and chemicalized foods, sugar junk food, and fast food. People would eat foods which make us feel more balanced and positive. These foods include greens, whole grains, fruit, beans, and high quality clean food. We'd have fewer diseases and people would feel a lot better and that would make the world a better place to be. It would be the perfect environment for us to happily live together. I would also like to see the government be more representative of most people's wishes to live in harmony.

Cyndy Violette
Cyndy started playing poker professionally at a time when most young, good-looking twenty-somethings were either graduating from college, or getting married and starting families. She started out dealing blackjack in downtown Las Vegas back in 1982, and gradually moved her way to the other side of the table as a player. Violette played low- to middle-limit poker around Las Vegas and California during the poker boom on the 80s. Just when it looked like Violette might become poker's youngest and brightest star, she got married and quit playing poker for a two-year period. Living in Washington State, Violette was away from the poker scene and gradually realized she missed the game and the freedom of the poker playing lifestyle.
After her divorce, Violette's life took a drastic turn when she visited Atlantic City in 1993, shortly after poker was legalized. Violette immediately packed her bags, moved East, and made a fortune playing $75-150 seven-card stud, which later evolved into games with much higher stakes – sometimes as high as $2,000-$4,000.
She is featured in national magazines and on television, her photographic smile and humble sincerity, a glaring contradiction to the image of the "professional poker player."
