Jayde Nicole - Model Turned Poker Pro

Just another hot girl to watch out for in the poker industry. Although she's not one of the best female poker players, but she's definitely one of the hottest, sexiest and most stunning poker girls around the world.

After being the Playboy's Playmate of the month for January 2007 and was named as the Playmate of the Year for 2008. The Canadian hot model, Jayde Nicole found a new career to becoming a professional poker player.

Jayde Nicole has recently taken to the felt with an appearance on the PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge. She also discuss in an interview on PokerNews how she became interested and introduced to the game poker.

Here are some of the actual questions and answers in the interview:

So Jayde, tell us, how did you stumble into poker for the first time?
Well, I first started playing poker with my boyfriend Brody Jenner who loves poker. He has big poker games from time to time, and I took to the game right away. I then met All In Magazine publisher Kasey Thompson and I agreed to doing the "All In Magazine Project" where each month I train with a different professional poker player and track all my progress and results in the pages of the magazine.

Are there any advantages of being a Playmate at the poker tables?
First of all, nobody takes you seriously at the poker table. Girls at the table hate you and everyone else tries to help you learn. It's somewhat similar to how Daniel reacted before my match on the "Million Dollar Challenge."

Which is more exciting, flopping top pair or posing topless?
(laughs) I would say flopping top pair is more fun.

Hotter accessory, a WSOP bracelet or a Playmate of the Year diamond pendant?
If I were ever lucky enough to win a bracelet, I would have to ask them to custom make me a special one. The bracelets are so big and heavy and are obviously designed for guys. So for now, I would have to go with my Playmate of the Year pendant.

Who is your favorite poker player and why?
Daniel Negreanu is definitely my favorite. I just love the way he plays the game and he is Canadian like me. So many poker players seem to have big egos, and he is so sweet and fun to be around.

Where can we expect to see you at the poker tables next?
Well, I plan on playing two to three poker tournaments online each week. I'm also playing in an Ante Up for Africa event this week, and then Ill be playing in the PokerStars Caribbean Challenge in the Bahamas in January.

Now, Jayde Nicole is still engaged on her first love – modeling, but still she's having appearance on poker events and tournaments.

Summer Altice – Scorching Hot Poker Girl

It's not yet summer, but this poker girl is definitely as hot as summer, not because of her name but also because of her beauty and great assets. And she's none other than Summer Altice, one of the most pure, attractive women, sleek frame and playful smile we have laid eyes on. Her poker face do not appear done up or modified to make her look better. She is just exquisite on her own.

Apart from being named Miss August 2000 by Playboy and being cast in The Scorpion King opposite The Rock, Summer Altice is not that famous in mainstream society and this time she goes all-in in poker! Poker girl Summer Altice was once spotted at the MAXIM Magazine Rock & Roll Poker Tournament at the Wynn Resort last April 7, 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The stunning brunette - who was a Playboy playmate before moving into acting Summer Altice had the choice to be a pro volleyball player or a model. Summer Altice then went to San Diego State University in the spring of 1997 where she signed with the San Diego Aztecs women’s volleyball team as an outside hitter. Summer was the star hitter with the potential future of playing professionally. And more than an awesome athlete with a beautiful body and a gorgeous face, Summer was also a bright student, studying communications at UCSD, and earning her way into the All-WAC (Western Athletic Conference) Academic team as a sophomore in 1999 for her athletic and academic achievements.

However, Summer Altice then transferred to UCLA in 2000 and continued her education in communications and journalism, while furthering her modeling career. She chose the latter, and it's safe to say that it worked out for the best – a model and a hot poker player. After seeing her spreads in GQ, Maxim, FHM, and Play..boy, there is no doubt that this girl is as hot as her name. After a successful modeling stint, Altice decided that acting was her true calling and she appeared in 2002's blockbuster, The Scorpion King, alongside The Rock. You can also catch her in two upcoming movies, which are still untitled.

Certified girl on poker and playboy playmate Summer Altice served as tabloid fodder when she was alleged to have caused the split between Helen Hunt and Hank Azaria when she frolicked poolside with the latter at a party. The rumor was soon squashed when it was revealed that Summer was in fact dating Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and Craig David. The relationship endured longer than most expected but alas, Summer Altice has since found a new beau in Hollywood hunk Vin Diesel.

Sara Underwood – Playmate Poker Babe

A model, actress and a TV host, but now Sara Underwood is focusing mainly on the game poker. This hot poker girls was the 2007 Playboy Playmate of the Year after featuring as Playmate of the Month in 2006 as the Pac 10 girl from Oregon State. She has appeared in several movies and hosts various projects on G4 TV. She is now representing Victory Poker, and being trained by their high powered pro team to fast track her poker education. Originally from Scapoose, Oregon, she now splits time between LA and Las Vegas.

She first modeled for VictoryPoker.net in an advertising campaign and soon became a member of Team Victory. After playing in a Texas hold ‘em charity tournament, the model and actress decided she wanted to learn the finer points of the game. She is currently training with Team Victory members Keith Gipson, Andrew Robl and others.

Sara Underwood placed fourth in her first online poker tournament. “I obviously had very good teachers, because I’m doing very well.”

Poker playmate Sara Underwood, who needs a few credits for her bachelor’s degree in business marketing from Oregon State University, said she relishes the challenge of playing poker against world-class pros, and the chance to put her brain to work. “I want to be known as a professional poker player who can hold my own at the top with some of the best,” she said. “I think the key is just really hard work. I’m just going to throw myself in it. There are no short cuts.”

When she’s not playing poker, Sara Underwood pursues a burgeoning film and television career and she recently co-founded hottiegram.com, a site that allows visitors to send customized video messages from Sara and other models. She’s frequently seen on the G4 television network, where she recently hosted a behind-the-scenes special called “Women of Ninja Warrior,” in which athletes compete on a grueling fitness course. She even tried out the course herself against female Japanese athletes.

In October 2009, Sara Underwood wrapped up filming her starring role in “Zellwood,” a horror movie set in the Florida Everglades. Her previous film credits include “House Bunny” and “Epic Movie.” Her favorite charity is the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA.

In an interview of PokerCurious.com, Sara Underwood talks about her new passion and how dealt with dozens of guys at the poker table:

In terms of poker, can we expect to see big things from you in the future?
Sara Underwood: Big things in the poker world are definitely in my future. You don't get the top notch training I have been getting, and put in the time that I have put in, to be unsuccessful at poker.

Have you been able to learn a thing or two from the pro players on the Victory Team?
Sara Underwood: The Victory Poker team has been training me like crazy, specifically Andrew Robl, Keith Gibson, and The Maven. I owe everything I know to them.

Any useful tips you can share for other aspiring players?
Sara Underwood: Just that there is so much to learn, and that it can seem overwhelming at times, but don't give up it will all become clear with time and LOTS of practice. I have been reading the volumes of Dan Harrington's Harrington on Hold'em. They are great books and I recommend them to aspiring players as a jumping off point.

Do you find other players intimidated by you at the table or perhaps distracted? Can you use this to your advantage?
Sara Underwood: I think guys definitely play different against me, but the advantages I have as being a young women at a poker table are just as great as the disadvantages, so I think it evens itself out. Some guys like having me around I think, simply because you spend so much time at that one table and it's nice to have someone of the opposite sex around, so they might be less likely to call me and just fold. But on the other hand guys also feel like they can push me around with big raises or re-raises (which they can't :)) so being me definitely has its advantages and disadvantages at the poker table.

She excelled as a model at the age of 16, and she received an offer to go to Hong Kong and Japan.

She ended up placing in the tournament and this was the start of her playing career.
