Melissa Polk, known in pro online poker circles as "IamtheQ" , "Mydik" and "Jumbone" among other Ids and know simply as Lisa to her many friends, died last wednesday of a gunshot wound to the stomach. She leaves her beautiful 4 year old daughter "Rain" behind and the many friends whose lives she touched. I am proud to say that I loved my online poker buddy "Q" and I was lucky to have known her. She was a loving friend and wonderful mother. I am sorry I wasn't there when she needed someone. She always was there for everyone else and her true colors always shined through. We were blessed to have had her in our lives.
Goodbye and good luck Lisa. We will miss you and the sun will shine a little less brightly without you...
There will be a memorial 10$ NL HE tournament at Paradise Poker this saturday at 9:00 pm est for any of her friends that wish to join in. All buyins, less Paradise's fees, will go to her daughter Rain Taylor Smith. Tournament name is IamtheQ Memorial and password is IamtheQ.
