Female poker players have been a minority until recently, because poker was considered to be a male conquered sport for a long time. However, the percentage of players who are women has risen quite a lot nowadays.  There are a number of very gifted women in poker who not only cling to their own but are up there encountering it out and taking first places.

Today, online poker is fast becoming a female dominated area. No longer is it a man’s sport.  The number of female poker players is growing vastly. Statistics show that out of every 5 new sign ups, one or two of them are female poker players. The typical profile of a female sign up is a woman between the ages of 24 and 26, who shops online, has a business career, and is street savvy.

Female Poker Players Stats

• At a table of 10 players, typically one or two are female poker players.

• In any poker tournament, it is estimated that 6% to 10% of entrants are female poker players, and a few of them have done very well in recent years.

What’s luring the ladies?

Televised poker games give female poker players such as Annie Duke, a mother who has made millions at the game, plenty of attention – thus generating female role models. Online poker sites mean women can learn the game and hone their skills before playing publicly. Many women, including Annie Duke, Shannon Elizabeth, Kathy Liebert, Sabyl Cohen, and Cyndy Violette, have won huge sum of money at the poker tournaments.

Stereotypes about Female Poker Players

Here are some common negative stereotypes about female poker players. Many men assume female poker players are:

• not savvy about betting, bluffing, reading tells, slow playing, calculating odds, etc.

• unskilled and unknowledgeable about the game

• not capable of aggressive play, setting traps, or bullying

• no interested in winning money, but just out for a good time

• just playing to keep a boyfriend or husband company

Still thirsting for more poker? Full Tilt has all the online poker games you can ask for.

Kimberly Lansing  is a skilled poker player who is equally comfortable with poker cards or a microphone in her hand. Being a beautiful female poker player, she is one of the most talked about poker girls online.

Kimberly Lansing actually learned how to play poker on her birthday at a young age. Kimberly Lansing was in Palm Springs, her dad had a store out there where he sold video games, pool tables, and he also sold poker tables. Kimberly Lansing boyfriend, Jim Davenport, was playing poker a lot online and at local casinos and he said, “I have to teach you how to play; I think you’re going to love the game.”

Kimberly Lansing is a pretty competitive person when it comes to playing sports and that kind of stuff. So Kimberly Lansing boyfriend taught her how to play poker and she immediately fell in love with the game. She first started off to play online poker games.

Kimberly Lansing would play online poker games at PokerRoom.com and then Kimberly Lansing boyfriend would take her, once he felt like she was ready, to the Bike and they played at Commerce and Hustler. She absolutely loved it and started getting pretty confident with her game.

Kimberly Lansing Bio

Kimberly Lansing grew up in Southern California in the town of Rancho Mirage. Kimberly Lansing has a look of an all American Girl, she is the sweet, friendly, gorgeous, and fun. Kimberly Lansing graduated from University of SC and started her career writing for Associate Press. After hosting a couple of news stations, in a very short period of time she got a job at People Magazine covering Hollywood red carpet events. She was introduced to the game at her birthday party. She immediately felt in love with the game and started to play online poker poker games. Her passion for poker landed her a new job on OnGame Network’s Poker Classic at the Casino de Barcelona.

Then, in March 2007, she reported at the World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational Tournament for People Magazine. It was there that the WPT took notice of Lansing’s good looks and charming personality, in addition to the natural way she talked about poker. She was offered a job as their online hostess, a position that hadn’t previously existed and was essentially created for her. Lansing took the job, and did it well – soon she was traveling the tournament circuit, reporting live from the casino floor with news and interviews that were miles away from the flat and boring clips that had become common in the industry.

For most of her career Kimberly Lansing has been basically known as an entertainment reporter, but, as she admits, there’s a big difference between covering the Hollywood crowd and reporting on Professional Poker Players. In poker, there’s really nothing uncomfortable about it. When Kimberly Lansing is interviewing a poker player, well, it’s grueling out there. They’ play online poker games for hours upon hours upon hours, so you never know what you are going to get, what kind of a mood. Sometimes it’s more difficult getting it out of them – getting the entertainment out of them because when you are on camera you want people to stay there and watch it so you need to find something newsworthy or interesting about it, but there is nothing that Kimberly Lansing has to ask poker players that makes her nervous.

Jennifer Harman Bio

Jennifer Harman’s father taught her how to play poker when she was 8. She learned a lot by watching her dad playing. Little girl gained so much knowledge that her father let her play at one of the games and he would call her in to play his hands for him when he was losing at his home game. She’d always win his money back. She became a pro when she was 21.

Living in Reno, Nevada Jennifer Harman was able to play at kinds of local poker tournaments. By age 21, poker became a full time job for Jennifer Harman.  In the 1996 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, Harman placed sixth in the $2,500 Hold’em Pot Limit event, and finished in the money at the 1999 WSOP $1,500 Limit Hold’em event. By the year of 2000  she won her first bracelet at WSOP tournament in a game she never played before the actual event… $5,000 No Limit Deuce-to-Seven Draw.  In 2002, she won the Limit Holdem event.

Jennifer is married to Full Tilt Poker’s Marco Traniello. They are the proud parents of twin boys and live in Reno, Nevada. Aside from poker, Harman likes nothing better than playing with her dogs.

Jennifer Harman on being a female poker player:

“It probably helps me to be a woman. In general, most men don’t think women can play. So, what often happens is that they try to run over me. They bluff their money off to me. I guess they see me as a meek little girl and think that I’m easily bluffed. I’m not.”

Daniel Negreanu once said, “In my opinion, she is without a double the best female poker player on the planet, but that’s not a fair title at all. She is also one of the best all-around players in the world – period!”

Perhaps, only Annie Duke, when she focused on her game, could challenge Jen for that title of the best female poker playes.

Shannon Elizabeth about sex:
“I’ve always been sexually aggressive! I’ve always felt that sex was one of the few really purely enjoyable activities in life, and it was one thing I’ve never been complex about. Even though my family is fairly conservative, sex was never something I felt ashamed or awkward about. It’s healthy and completely liberating if you allow yourself to be carried away by it.”
