Poker Face of the Month for December: Shayla Rogers
Poker Face of the Month

December's poker face of the month is from the U.S.  Shayla started playing poker in Portland, Oregon in August of 2010. She instantly fell in love with the game.  She is a regular at The Players Club, which is her favorite place to play live local hold 'em. 

Although Shayla plays weekly cash game with her friends and neighbors, she prefers playing tournaments.

Since Black Friday, she has tried out most of the free, legal, subscription sites and she can normally be seen playing under the handle, "niceNtight" when she does get a chance to play online.

Shayla dreams of being a professional poker player and his been working hard towards achieving this goal studying the game and watching other players.  She has cashed well in the tournaments she has played.

shaylarogersShayla is a former ballet dancer and has a very competitive personality which is turning out to be transferable to her interest in tournaments.  When she has her mind set on something, she will not quit until she accomplishes what she intends to.  She is very determined and strives to be the best at everything she does.

When she's not playing poker, she is doing accounting consulting work on the side.  She is great with numbers and is a bookkeeper by trade, but has also recently discovered she has a strong knack for sales and writing grants. No doubt this love of numbers has transferred to her poker game.

She is a welcome member of the community of Woman Poker Player magazine for over a year.

I'm sure we will hear much more about Shayla as she moves forward in her poker career and we wish her the best of luck in poker and in life!
