    Just a wild guess on my part. I don't really know where they are going.

    Not that this is private at all, but since I haven't seen there names (they are two this year) published anywhere yet, I will let the "officials" make the announcement first.

    That's very out of date; although I believe Michael's going to update it. Nice of him to have an image of my book on the left, though.

    As it's public now, Cathy Hulbert was voted into the BJHoF. Unfortunately, she died a couple weeks before the ball. That doesn't mean this was a sympathy vote. She was most certainly qualified. Below is her bio from the ball:

    Cat Hulbert

    Cat was selected as one of BBC’s 100 Women of 2016 – an honor given to “high profile women from the spheres of entertainment, sport, business and politics.” Chosen for being the first woman to break through the glass ceiling of professional blackjack in 1978, she played on the Czech blackjack team in over 300 casinos world-wide and was the first woman to ever amass a million dollars across the blackjack tables.

    Cat’s aggressive play and fearlessness changed many opinions on the mathematical and emotional capabilities of women to bet-it- up and win under pressure.

    Selected by Card Player Magazine in 1996 as one of the best and smartest card players in the
    World, she was one of only one of eight professional gamblers to be included in Richard
    Munchkin’s book, Gambling Wizards. Along with teaching a woman’s only poker class for
    many years at the Hollywood Park Casino, Cat also wrote Outplaying the Boys, a humorous
    book & guide for women published in NYC in 2005 teaching ladies how to become more competitive in life and at the tables.

    Cat was featured in LA’s The Daily Breeze and the Sunday LA Times for her top- notch card playing abilities in blackjack and poker. Also a contestant on Blackjack’s Tournament of
    Champions, Cat has been a guest on numerous radio shows including NPR, Gambling with an
    Edge, and BBC’s The Conversation; often sought out due to her unusual successful life choices
    and her mission to change how women are viewed – by men and by themselves alike. On
    December 7, 2016 the BBC published a biographical article based on her remarkable exploits that’s said to have received a million reads the first day it appeared on their homepage.

About Blackjack: The Forum

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
