Beth Shak took her first baby steps to becoming the poker pro she is today by logging on to  Full Tilt Poker, and using “play money.” That was just over four years ago. These days, Beth is one of the leading ladies of poker, with a reputation for combining ruthless game play with unquestionable style.

Poker aficionados can learn a thing or two from Beth Shak, who has made it to the Women’s All Time Money List with total winnings in excess of $450,000. When it comes to the age old question of whether to play the cards or the other players, Beth is firmly on the side of those who play the cards.

In one of her interviews, Beth Shak said “I would say the advice I have is to not be intimidated if you feel you have the best hand, to go with it, to play it, and if you lose you lose. I follow that rule even today. In fact, the last tournament I lost I knew I had the best hand, I made a move with it, and unfortunately I got rivered but if I hadn’t I would have left Foxwoods on day one with the chip lead.”
She added, “I don’t care who I’m sitting with. It doesn’t matter if I’m sitting with a table of unknown people, or a table of pros. I know my cards are my cards, and if I hit them I hit them, and I just don’t get intimidated.”

Beth Shak continues her meteoric rise in the world of professional poker having had cash finishes at 5 WSOPs and 2 World Poker Tours.

While pursuing his dreams of Hollywood stardom, Martin Carrascosa discovered that there was considerable money to made behind the camera as well. After making the acquaintance of Hollywood producer, Stephan Reign, and Jackass star Steve-O, he formed a production company called DirtyBird Entertainment LLC. Martin Carrascosa is credited as an associate producer for what has been described as a “female version of Jackass,” called Ballz Girlz, which was produced by DirtyBird Entertainment LLC.

LLC is short for limited liability company, a legal form of business entity that provides limited liability to its owners. Often mistakenly called a “limited liability corporation” (as opposed to company), it is a hybrid business entity which shares characteristics of both a corporation and a partnership or sole proprietorship (depending on how many owners there are).

Although no longer a resident of Hollywood, Martin Carrascosa continues to work behind the scenes of the film entertainment industry as a consultant for several Hollywood productions. Among them: Inuturo (a Hawaii based production by Nathanael Couffman) and Tyme 2 Shyne Artistic studios.
