Isabelle, the Ladies World holdem poker Tour main event in 2004 and won thanks to their aggressive playing style the nickname “No Mercy (no mercy)”. The talent scouts of holdem poker stars have discovered you and your sponsors one of the best contracts throughout the holdem poker scene . holdem poker News has teamed up with Isabelle taken in Amsterdam, where you are with us about their holdem poker stars sponsorship contract and a few other things entertain.
Mercier: A dream come true. Suddenly I had a sponsorship contract with holdem poker stars, at the side of Chris Moneymaker and Chris Raymer. Since that time, I had the opportunity to many holdem poker tournaments anywhere in the world to participate and I like it very well. It is not a permanent contract but the contract is very good and I fully satisfied with it. holdem poker Stars expected a lot from me: Advertising on the web site, photo shoots and interviews. I know that some other players have problems with these things, but it makes me nothing. It is a great opportunity for me and also stars holdem poker is the best side ever. I am proud that holdem poker stars showing me, to look at the site to represent. At the beginning I only cash games with smaller operations and had played an end to problems. Now I have this pressure not more, I am also now much better at cash games. If I play 20 tables, leaving at least 18 with profits. I do not often cash games, mainly I play tournaments. But if I, like here in Amsterdam, a whole week to spend one place, I would like to have some fun and play a round of happy times cash game, especially when it comes to me in the hotel room too boring.
Poker News: How is it that a young woman in a male-dominated scene High Stakes holdem poker playing poker?
Mercier: I have no idea. When I was 3 years old I began, holdem poker against my uncle to play. Cards and dice games were for me has always been a natural part of my normal life and has never changed.
PN: 3 years, they decided their lives completely changed. You have all your possessions sold, the workplace and were dismissed for professional holdem poker player. They have no house and have all your possessions in a suitcase. Think about it sometimes, whether their decision was the right?
Mercier: Absolutely – I played to survive only cash games with small operations and that was very hard. I was very doubtful whether my decision was correct. The low point I reached when I on a 1 week tournament at Turning Stone (New York) participated. I was in the midst of a Pechsträhne, weeks have been all wrong and I was in New York do not win a single hand. I was really in a deep crisis and an evening before the main event, I have in my hotel room and sat my eyes ausgeheult. I begged to God that he should send me a sign so that I can decide whether I am good enough to play professional poker. In the second hand, I got Pocket 10th The entire table limpte, only the big blind went all-in. I was sure that there is only one move was a bluff and I called him after a brief reflection. “Let me see if I am good enough” I said. Of course, my opponent had pocket ace and I have lost the hand. I remained 2 chips and I thought, my holdem poker career would be ended. The tournament ended up that I won first prize with three other players informed. I had only two chips left!
PN: You asked for a sign?
Mercier: Yes, I am a believer. I believe the universe is always around us and that there are signs, according to which we should keep looking.
PN: Why are all holdem poker players always busy, not to play poker, but instead to make any transactions?
Mercier: The big money is not worthy of playing, but in everything related. You can really a lot of money playing holdem poker earn if you have a larger main event win, but the chances of this are obviously very low. That is why I sponsored the contract with holdem poker stars like so well, I have my own website, an online shop and I write columns. Thanks to all these things I can completely safely play poker. Of course, these things also have a negative effect on your holdem poker game. A few months ago I had a head full of some things about poker, which means that every tournament that I played during this time was a waste of money. I have recovered my inner balance. It can also be just the reverse, if your head full of other things have now and decide everything and are easy to register and a round of poker, can be very beneficial to your condition. Every thing has two sides.
PN: Devil Fish told me a few hours, that women would not be able just to play holdem poker well as men, because women naturally not aggressive enough. What do you think about it?
Mercier: Devil Fish is right! I do not know how I explain it. Maybe it’s the genes, women tend to be rather conservative. Maybe there is simply the most women to experience. I know any that I really give my best, so I’m just as good as the male player, what are my role models. This year I played in the WSOP at the final table together with players such as Marcel Luske and Phil Hellmuth. I was not nervous as everyone else and played a good game. The fact that I could entertain with them and even a little “trash talk” talk, was a great feeling. This has nothing to do with the fact that I am a woman. I know that I have a lot to learn. Thank God I always get tips from men such as Devil Fish, Luske and Gus Hanson (my mentor). You teach me free, and I learn a lot from you. Is not that wonderful?
PN: Have you ever used your charm to another player to move up? Or did you ever feel that players they dealt with lightly, because you are a woman?
Mercier: Maybe now and then. To be honest, I should do much more. I once seen a woman play, which had huge breasts and certainly had an impact on their game. Sometimes I wish I would have such a porch and could thus play! This has definitely advantages. I envy players like e.g. Tony G a little table for your personality. One thing is clear, if I had big breasts and Tony’s mind, I would have certainly more fun, but not now, maybe sometime in the future.
PN: What do you want to women in general?
Mercier: I receive many e-mails from young women. You want not only with me talking about poker, but often also about the decision, which I recently met, all behind me and completely from the beginning. I am proud that I voted for these women’m an inspiration. Perhaps that is my intention here, my message for everyone else. To tell you that you are not afraid of change should and should not shy away from the best of your life. What is the worst that can happen? Death – and that’s OK!
PN: So, you do not fear from death?
Mercier: But surely they do, I fear me from the death! Death is omnipresent and that is why I always try the best of every situation. holdem poker has really changed my life. I come from a small town with only 40,000 inhabitants. In the last 3 years I have brilliant people more learned than in the entire previous 28 years. Interesting characters, fascinating personalities. holdem poker is a mirror image of everyday life. Times I played at a table where a player every time ausflippte when he lost a hand, he then shouted “F *** this”, “screw that” or something like that. Have you ever experienced that Phil Ivey responded so? I think the way they play poker, says a lot about how they live their lives and where they are in their development,
PN (after a phone call, which quickly ended Mercier): Are you currently in love?
Mercier (looks surprised and giggles): I? No, why? Oh, that the phone was my mother. It has my percentages in profits bought and I have just told you that I am the tournament. Perhaps it would be better if you invest in anyone else. I do not want to lose money through me.
PN: Her mother buy shares from you?
Mercier: Only in small tournaments. I do not often small tournaments, only in Paris and Amsterdam, because I was there like. Mostly I play only in major tournaments, if that is the case, my mother is unfortunately not afford. I think my parents have not had much luck with me as a person. They had long been trying to get a child and then I was born. And when it finally had done, I have decided with 12 years (for a while) auszureißen from home.
PN: You mentioned that Gus Hanson your mentor. Rumors say that Gus and you have a relationship. I know that this issue is very bold, but readers want to know… like …
Mercier (after a small break and with Gekicher): Gus Hanson is a very, very good friend and my mentor, but that is already everything.
