I am poker sponsored American
(was able to afford and lawyer and move to states thanks to poker players- american gentlemen )
So story is - when I filed for a Political Asylum in states -I have had a little money - I was running from Russia leaving all belongings behind ( even was not able to sell house - and plus house was common property with my husband .... and he was already living in Geneva and was declared as vanished by RF federation court system - house still was with his name on that so I was not able to pull any money from the selling it either)
YET I was lucky -I met poker players - American gentlemen- in Moscow! Just as in movie .. all my life is MOVIE ..way more interesting then "Arbitrage "or "GFE " low budget movies.
They were from Boston area - Boston lawyers
(One was with Russian Jewish wife. Amazing woman. when I met them )
And they knew all inside and out and Russia and laws in states.
They loved to play poker and all winnings all was given to me and paid to the lawyer.( I think it was his idea to get paid for helping me - I never had any thing private with him - he was happily married to this Russian Jew - and if you have such wife - you do not need escorts) So they played poker and i was able to move to states on those money.
It was not to much old times - it was 2000. I still have very warm and nice feeling to men who love play poker. They say I a jack pot . There even review with those words.
I am poker born American

I think - I would be not able to afford move here. Thank you poker players
It is one little pick in to my non ordinary life.
