Early Life
Enright began playing poker at home at the age of 4, playing five card draw against her older brother. She started playing in cardrooms in 1976. Enright worked as a hairstylist, bartender and cocktail waitress, often holding down three jobs at once to support her family. Soon she was making more money playing poker part time than all of her jobs combined so she quit working and started playing poker for a living full time.
