And the buy-ins for the games get higher and higher.
Which is great for Molly because, you know, it means bigger tips.
So all this is going really well for her.
Until 2007, when something unexpected happens.
One night, she and her boss, Darren, they get into an argument at work.
And Darren, he straight up fires her.
Now, that sucks for her, but that's not gonna be the end of Molly.
That's just not who she is.
She is a hustler.
And since she's been the face of these underground poker games and everyone has been going through her, she decides to start her own game.
And in 2008, she begins hosting her own underground poker games out of nice hotels around Los Angeles.
And by this point, Molly is making a ton of money.
About $4 million a year, just from tips.
And that's great and all, and you know, she's happy, but apparently it's not all fun.
Not only that, but at some point, old Tobey Maguire, who still plays her games all the time, he, allegedly, starts being a dick to her too.
Like one night, he just begins to treat her like shit, and he offers her a thousand dollar chip to bark like a seal that wants a fish.
And of course, Molly refuses.
Like, she's not about to bark like a seal for a tip and be humiliated.
And then, allegedly, Toby gets all offended and pissed off and he storms out of the game.
And eventually, he's so pissed off that he convinces the other players to move locations to another rich guy's house away from Molly, which ultimately ruins her whole operation.
