Kind of odd she doesn't just play professional poker


What she has is basically hyper intuition, so she's in no way cheating, nor could anyone possibly prove she's doing anything extra. She may as well just hit vegas and clean out some high rollers.

The casino boss basically holding her hostage seemed unrealistic.

Guess you've never actually spent any time in Las Vegas. I have, a lot! Even if you aren't actually cheating and have a skill likes hers (which I do as well) Casinos just don't like that, so yes, they will ban you.

Well no shit if you never ever lose. That's why you occasionally throw a few hands, maybe even sprinkle in a major pot loss here and there, but with her ability, she could easily keep herself well in the black without arousing suspicion.

WSOP?

You're not beating the casino in poker. You're beating the other players. So no they aren't going to care if you're beating everyone, other than eventually nobody is going to want to sit at a table with you.

You have her skills?
Only at the table or with anybody anywhere?

How do you do it?

"The casino boss basically holding her hostage seemed unrealistic." Yes, that would be the pre-corporate Vegas. She would just be banned today. Plus casinos exist in other parts of the country and world. Also private games. As you said, she would need to throw a few.

She's running for her life, though.
