Apparently, if she's to be believed (and it turns out I do), the Norwegian poker player Annette Obrestad won a low stakes 180-person online tournament while only peeking at her cards once.

She's also won the WSOP Europe main event once, but won't be eligible to play in the WSOP in Nevada until 2010 because she isn't 21 yet.

Odds are it won't - 34,000 accounts seized out of 10,000,000 poker players in the US is basically odds of 1:200. Plus, we have to see the final resolution of all that.

So, basically, it's hard to know. In the worst case, I'm going to end up having to play in casinos more often.
