While the definition of a poker pro can be loosely defined, Bodog Poker’s signing of Amanda Musumeci could be considered the creation of a pro.
A while back Bodog Poker stepped out and declared they wanted a woman. Not just any woman, but a poker playing woman who could represent them online and on the felt. Now they have their woman, a poker playing Las Vegas resident by the name of Amanda Musumeci.
Musumeci joins the poker room at the end of a search that spanned social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook, but she isn’t just a new pretty face to put on the room- she knows her way around a deck of cards, too. Known as "Manderbutt" online, Musumeci has been a regular player at Bodog.com for a number of years and her live poker winnings range into the six figures.
"When you respond to an opportunity like this, no matter how confident you are in yourself and your abilities, there's always a little nagging doubt in the back of your mind,” said Musumeci. “So when Bodog showed a genuine interest in me, I was ecstatic. I've spent most of my online poker career playing at Bodog.com, and getting the chance to play as a pro for my favorite room was the opportunity of a lifetime. It also really showed me that, unlike a lot of other rooms, Bodog supports and invests in their players. I couldn't ask for a better home and look forward to kicking some butt in Bodog's name."
