Jennifer Leigh is a dream woman for geeks inside and outside the poker world. Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh is a good-looking blonde and an internet nerd ruled into one. Jennifer Leigh first used the Jennicide name as her handle on hackers bulletin boards. Jennicide became her username at PokerStars when Jennifer began playing online poker there.
Jennifer Leigh Poker Bio
Jennifer Leigh first got noticed in the online poker world by playing at Pokerstars. One of Leigh's big poker accomplishments is to build a $5 buy-in amount at Pokerstars.com into enough of a bankroll to regularly play $100/$200 blinds in cash games. Helping the bankroll was a cash finish at the World Championship of Online Poker, which has a $1,000 buy-in and the commensurate payouts.
Poker Royale - Battle of the Ages
The Poker Royale series has become one of the more interesting poker events in recent years. The latest event involved the Battle of the Ages, pitting six players under 30 against six players over 60. The players were paid a bounty for taking down opponents.
Of course, Jennifer Leigh was one of the under-30 poker players. Jennicide finished 5th in the Poker Royale tournament after a 1st place finish in preliminary match #6 (against Dan Harrington, Dutch Boyd, John Cernuto and Erin Ness, among others). Jennifer Leigh eventually gained the 5th spot in the overall tournament, which was won by Dan Harrington.
World Poker Jennifer Leigh
Jennifer Leigh made a splash on the World Poker Tour by finishing in the money at the WPT 2006 Caribbean Poker Adventure. The event was co-sponsored by the World Poker Tour and PokerStars. The Caribbean Poker Adventure is now part of the European Poker Tour.
In all, Jennifer Leigh has had two money finishes on the World Poker Tour and one finish in the money at the World Series of Poker. Jennifer Leigh has won over $60,000 in poker tournaments.
Outside Poker - Jennifer Leigh
Jennicide maintains a blog about her life experiences, including her exploits in poker and on World of Warcraft. Apparently, Jennifer Leigh has reached 70th level on WOW -- the highest level a player can reach and a sign of crazy amounts of dedication to the game. EverQuest is another game Jennifer Leigh has played extensively.
Jennifer Leigh Nude - Jennifer Leigh Playboy
Taking advantage of the celebrity gained from poker, Jennifer Leigh posed in the 2007 edition of FHM Online. More importantly, Jennicide posed in the May 2008 Playboy. Internet rumors have linked her to several of the younger generation of poker players, though Jennifer says that full-time poker playing kills relationships. You can read more about her Playboy appearance at her website jennicide.com.
Jennifer Leigh - Poker Online
Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh came to poker after meeting the brother of Dutch Boyd, Robert Boyd, online. The two met at the Internet Relay Chat, one of the oldest online chats (1988) and technically older than what most people know as the internet. Jennicide is known to have knowledge of two different programmer languages: C# and Linux. Jennifer Leigh is thought to have taken part in beige boxing, which is the art of tapping into other peoples' phone lines -- sort of like Matthew Broderick in War Games.
Given her love of games and love of computers, it was only a matter of time before Jennifer Leigh tried out online poker. With one of the most colorful nicknames and colorful back stories of all the women of poker, Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh should be a recognizable name in online poker for the next several years, at least.
