Kuo has been playing tournaments since 2007 and has been making small earnings for her efforts. But in 2007, she caught the attention of the poker community when she landed 1st place at the PokerStars Macau Poker Cup (MPC) Main Event grabbing for herself a trophy and a cash prize worth USD$71,899 .

After that year, Kuo kept making it in the money consistently with relatively small earnings. But all those years of honing her skills finally paid off in 2012. In the first quarter of the year, she finished 3rd at the Asian Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) Seoul for USD$15,778 . In September of that same year, she made USD$25,143 at the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event and immediately followed that up with a 4th place finish at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Malta Main Event for USD$50,649 . And as 3 is a charm, Kuo ended the month of September by going deep into the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe Main Event and earning €22,982 (USD$29,983) .

Kuo continued her streak in 2013 by starting the year with earning USD$58,063 at the Aussie Millions Poker Championship Main Event . And throughout the year 2013, she continued making it in the money regularly in tournaments all over the world – in Asia , Europe and the United States .

In August 2016, she made it to the final table of the European Poker Tour (EPT) No Limit Holdem Event and ended at 6th place for USD$114,072 .

In January 2018, she returned to the Aussie Millions for another major score: she came in 4th in the AUS$25,000 NLHE Challenge event for AUS$246,240 (USD$198,731) .

Card Kitty: Justin Ernwine Brings His Hello Kitty Lifestyle to WPT Maryland

Sep 30, 2019

By Sean Chaffin

Hello Kitty invaded the poker room at Maryland Live! Okay, so maybe only Justin Arnwine . Once again he’s decked out in his Hello Kitty headphones, backpack, hoodie, pants, and who knows what else. His cards are even protected by tiny glass version of the character.

To say Arnwine is obsessed would definitely be an understatement. He had similar apparel on during Day 1a of WPT Maryland, when he bagged 107,300 chips. For the 32-year-old, Hello Kitty isn’t just an interest – it’s a way of life. Fellow players have now begun even calling him “Hello Kitty.”

A quick scan of he and his girlfriend’s YouTube channel highlights his devotion to the famous character that debuted in Japan in 1974. Arnwine’s “Hello Kitty Everything” song and music video are highlighted on the channel.

How did his unique style and devotion to all things Hello Kitty come about?

“Twenty years ago Care Bears became a real big thing,” he says. “It wasn’t just kids but also bus drivers, grocery store workers, you’d see people with Care Bear bracelets and all kinds of stuff like that. I was observing that but didn’t want to be a person that just jumped on the bandwagon.

“But I told myself that if there’s ever a unique thing that kind of pops off like that, then next time I’m not going to miss it. And when Hello Kitty became popular in America, I was like, ‘this is it.’ I wanted to do something that no one else was doing.”

Arnwine considers himself a bit of a trendsetter with his infatuation. A quick look around the events center at Live! Casino finds other players have yet to embrace his trend. They may not have caught on yet, but there’s still time.

When not in deep contemplation about his favorite feline friend, Arnwine is a regular poker player in Maryland. Originally from Boston, he worked in radio before beginning to play full time. He still works a bit in radio but spends much of his time playing cash games.

How do fellow players react to his unique fashion sense?

“Normally when they ask why I wear Hello Kitty, I tell them it’s a secret,” he says. “I get some weird looks, but I dress like this even when I’m not at the poker table. I dress like this going to the store, the movies – I dress this way 24/7.”

Stopping him to get a photo has become a common occurrence, with mothers enjoying showing a photo of the “Hello Kitty guy” to their kids or even kids posing with him. He enjoys that positivity his outfit brings and putting a smile on some faces.

“There’s also a psychological reason in poker,” he says. “When you dress like this and three-bet someone, they’re less likely to think you’re making a move. It works both ways. They’re less likely to call you when you’re showing aggression because they think, ‘Oh, he doesn’t have the courage to bluff.’

“At the same time, ‘They’re more likely to try and bluff you because they don’t think I have the courage to call. They usually think it makes me look like a weak person and they try to run me over, or let me not mess with him the first time he three-bets.”

Players beware – this feline has fangs.
