In 1979, Doyle Brunson wrote in his ground-breaking poker strategy book Super System, "I've never met a woman who was a really top player." In the 2006 World Series of Poker, Doyle's own daughter, Pam Brunson, won over $34,000. Not only are women here to stay in the poker world, but we have many advantages over the men.

What you WON'T find on this web site is anecdotal advice or tips on how to flirt at the table. What you WILL find is well-researched poker strategy tailored for women's brains and lifestyles...because one-size poker strategy does NOT fit all!


In her 2007 book The Female Brain, Dr. Louann Brizendine explains what women's brains can do:  

• "Just about the first thing the female brain compels a baby to do is study faces" (p. 14). As women poker players, we've been studying the game since day #1! Read more...
• "Girls can also hear a broader range of sound frequency and tones in the human voice than can boys" (p. 17). Reading tells is that much easier for women poker players! Read more...
• "Remember, he's thinking about sex literally every minute" (p. 92). Women poker players don't have to worry about this distraction! Read more...
• "The areas of the brain that track gut feelings are larger and more sensitive in the female brain" (p. 120). Women poker players are processing all kinds of "clues" about the other players at the table--without even trying! Read more...
• "It's easier to push a man's anger button...Women have a much less direct relationship to anger" (p. 129). Women poker players have a lower chance of going on tilt! Thank you testosterone! Read more...

• "The female brain is gifted at quickly assessing the thoughts, beliefs, and intentions of others, based on the smallest hints" (p. 120-1). The female brain is a poker tell-reading machine! Read more...

"Many male players honestly think it takes
testosterone to play poker. That's a good
thing. You can show off your beautifully
manicured nails as you stack their chips!"
