Profile: Evelyn Ng

Part of Bodog Poker's "Rat Pack" along with Josh Arieh and David Williams, Evelyn Ng is all about style. She always seems to have her self together at the poker table, where the biggest mistake a guy could make is to underestimate her just because she is a good looking woman. While a WSOP braclet or other major poker victory still eludes her, Ng continues to cash in tournaments and make a fine living playing cash games.

With a nickname like "Evybabee" it is easy to get a handle on Evelyn Ng's image. Born in 1975 in Toronto, Canada, Evelyn has made a name for herself as a sharp professional player both online and sitting at a real table across from real pros. With one of the winningest players of all time as a coach and friend, Daniel Negreanu, it is no wonder Eveybabee is living the life of a young poker pro to the limit, and enjoying every moment along the way.

Evelyn dealt Blackjack before she moved on to playing poker as a pro, although even as a blackjack dealer she used to play poker on the side. She has been making a living as a pro poker player for many years now, and hosts her own website for fans to stop by and check out pictures from her life, including many stops along the way at tournaments and other Vegas-centered events. She writes a blog on the site as well, keeping up the interested with news from the road and her thoughts on life and poker. The address of the site, of course, is www.evybabee.com.

She has been an active player in the World Poker Tour, in both the Main and Ladies Events, and is one of a number of poker greats with a starring role in the Xbox video game, "Daniel Negreanu's Stacked." Xbox and poker fans alike may get a chance to player her in special, "Xbox Live" tournaments on the Stacked game, which is another perfect fit for Evelyn. While she thinks of herself as a "girly-girl" and looks like a fashion model, she is admittedly a video game nut, playing Minesweeper for hours on end. 

When you are a single woman living in Las Vegas and you play poker for a living, marathon sessions playing video games may not seem like the most logical way to pass the time, but Ng seems to know what she likes and isn't shy about it.
An avid online player as well as brick and mortar one, Evelyn does not often hide her identity when she is logged on to a poker room.

She does not play as part of a sponsorship deal, but for fun and profit on her own. Many times she is easy to identify, with user names that play off her Evybabee nickname, although she admits she may log on via a side account and play under an alias occasionally.

With her technological savvy and passion, her growing poker prowess and tight connections in the poker world, it is a smart bet that Eveyln Ng will be around smiling for the cameras and having fun for a long, long while.
