1. #1 Poker Book for Best Techniques for Winning Tournaments and Cash Games Las Vegas, NV - There is an unspoken concept among poker players. That concept: “Poker is a man’s game.” One professional poker player set out to disprove this concept. She became a man to prove it. Sia Layta is a pseudonym for a professional lady poker player from Los Angeles. She spent considerable time playing poker as a woman but could never seem to make the cut to the real tables and real players. So, Layta decided to do something unconventional. She disguised herself, successfully, as a man. Her adventures playing as the opposite gender are documented in the new book: BLACK WIDOW POKER. “When I made that transition, learned to walk, carry myself and such, I was shocked at how much the game changed for me. Suddenly, I was treated like an equal at the table, and I

BLACK WIDOW Poker: A Woman’s Guide to Winning a Man’s Game is her journey through the poker playing experience and more than that. She takes time to break the walls of gender inequality in the game, help all players improve their game and especially how to help the lady poker player prove herself at the table. The reviews have been positive. “Sia Layta has written a book that details her years of observation and experience in playing men in their own game. Replete with numerous examples, anecdotes and practical suggestions, her enthusiasm and love for the game rings clearly in her writing, a satisfying read that makes it a pleasure to turn the pages,” says one book reviewer. “It was a lot of fun to write the book, and hopefully it helps other women to win more at the tables” say Layta. “When men start to see their own stacks of chip’s dropping while the lady’s kitty is growing, they tend to take notice of what is going on” It is because of her tenacity and shrewd, unconventional approach to the game that earned her the nickname –Black Widow. “It is a great honor to have this nickname,” said Layta, “after all, black widow spiders eat their mates for protein to help raise the eggs. I
