It should have been Duke's year to shine in the world of poker but the hot news was all about Jennif




According to Pokerbabes.com , only 4% of poker players are women. So the phrase "woman poker player" does denote some sort of uniqueness unlike the more dismissive phrases like "woman doctor" or "woman lawyer."
Annie Duke may be the most famous woman poker player. After winning millions at poker , she has written a book, Annie Duke: How I raised, folded, bluffed, flirted, cursed and won millions at the World Series of Poker. She also works as a consultant for UltimateBet.com and is trying to start a sitcom on NBC.
It should have been Duke's year to shine in the world of poker but the hot news was all about Jennifer Tilly. Yes, the actress. Playing poker for about a year, she won two major "Ladies" events : The World Poker Tour Ladies Night III and World Series' Ladies World Poker Championship.
Neither Annie Duke nor Jennifer Tilly came to the sport out of nowhere. Duke's brother is professional poker player, Howard Lederer, and Jennifer Tilly is the girlfriend of poker player, Phil Laak. While those relationships may have provided some motivation, free coaching or an entree into the world of professional poker, the sisters and girlfriends of the other 96% of poker players are not flooding the field. Both women are excellent poker players
Linda Johnson is a player, a World Series of Poker Champion, and a player, who has bought and sold Card Player magazine. She still writes a column for Card Player . She also co-owns Card Player Cruises quality inn plaza . Johnson estimates women to be 5% of the total number of poker players. .
As the profile of women in poker rises, there is now a magazine quality inn plaza called Woman Poker Player . Unlike the low figures floated quality inn plaza by Pokerbabes.com and Linda Johnson, WPP estimates the percentage of poker players that are women to be 35% and rising . Of course, their advertising revenue depends largely on a growing market.
Linda Johnson in a more recent article states that 25% of the "live" players are women so your quote is most likely from an old article. Do a search quality inn plaza on the internet for yourself and you will see where she states this.
