Most often underestimated by their male competitors, women in poker are a growing force to be dealt with, and women are entering the poker field at a rapidly growing pace. This is due in part to tv's coverage of the world series of poker, where the travel channel has reported that approximately one-third of their viewers are women.
Maryann Morrison, has opened a club exclusively for women poker players who want to learn to be better players by competing against other women in a more comfortable and friendly environment. The Womens Poker Club at http://www.womenspokerclub.com, was created to encourage mentor coaching, and holds league and tournament play for women only. Opened in March 2004, the club is free to join and welcomes women poker players of any rank from beginners to professionals.
Morrison states "Playing online allows any member worldwide to play against another member no matter where they are. Once the women feel more comfortable in competition, they will be better skilled and able to take on their male components. My own personal goal is to see some of our members compete in the WSOP one day, and I just know it's going to happen."
