Women in Poker
Today more and more women are joining the “Man’s Game”. However, even with all the women joining in, they are still perceived as emotional, tight, too truthful and less likely to gamble. Poker has long been dominated by males, that’s how it always has been and likely always will be.
Times are changing though, women clearly want to be seen as an equal and will go to great lengths to obtain and maintain the equality. Including, bluffing and raising, eventually taking your chips after winning.
Several venues now have ladies night poker; there are increasingly events to raise awareness on the issue of Breast Cancer.
There are many famous women who have made a name in poker. Annie Duke, the most successful professional female poker player in the world, who has made a career out of the game, bringing home $70,000 or more per year. Cycalona Gowen a newcomer to the tournament poker world, she often hosts tournaments and charity events, and now teaches women and men how to play tournaments and be successful at it. Nani Dollison, Kathy Liebert and Linda Johnson are also women who have made a name for themselves in the “Man’s Game”.
This just goes to show that as long as you can learn thing, think of strategy and be able to sit in a game overwhelmingly dominated by men and handle it. Anyone can play the game. It takes determination and the willingness to learn, follow the example of the women above. They’ve quite literally taken over the game.
