June is just creeping up around the corning and the month will be full of poker events for the gals.Things for women to keep tucked away in the back of their minds:
1. Learn the Game: Read books, do hand simulations, study the rules of the game, play with friends, and learn all you can about the game of poker. If you are new to the game, you should learn and understand the hand rankings, the flow of the action, and the options of folding, calling, betting, and raising.
2. Start with low stake games and graduate to higher stakes: Put in time at the tables in low limit games where you can learn proper game skills as well as table etiquette. Once you beat the game on a regular basis, move up a level and repeat. Before long you will have earned your way to high limit games and proven that you have the skills and the knowledge to be a contender.
3. Keep sex out of it: Don’t play the sex kitten game at the table. It may work for you, but long term you want to play straight up and show that you are a player. The same holds true for online play and poker forums. You can make a logical statement about poker, but if your avatar is a girl that's in a bikini, you can kiss all respect from good players goodbye.
4. Male intimidation: If you feel like you are not prepared to handle male intimidation, create a unisex screen name and play online until you feel more confident in your abilities.

NO BOYS? for shame. :)
Are you planning to play any of the events?
@Toby: If I can get up to Vegas in June, definitely. Still trying to figure out if I can go. Got pets, work, billiards, etc, so just trying to see if I can work it in. You going?
since all the tournaments are for girls, if i am coming. it would be for your support. I just found out I do have the June 7th weekend free. If you do go, let me know. Maybe i will be your cheerleader:)
Awww. I will know as the date gets closer. You better be playing on the tables with me! There's always MGM. *smiles*
so you can take my money!? I guess that maybe ok :)
Toby, that would be the other way around. I know not to get in pots with you hustler.
few winks from you and I may just call with ace high. You are like my kryptonite.
