I’ve said it for a while now and I still think it’s true, even if it hasn’t really built momentum at all just yet—I think the next great poker boom will be with a tremendous influx of women playing poker!

I realize that this boom is sadly, by most official accounts—such as the number of women in the WSOP is not happening just yet. I think it is going to take a couple of things at least, but they’re both things that I think are far more likely than not to happen in our lifetime:

1.) A “likable” woman making the final table and better still, winning the wsop main event—preferably in a year with high attendance or more media coverage than normal. Our female Chris Moneymaker if you will :)

2.) Poker companies-or at least a couple of major ones-recognizing the extreme long-term potential of women playing poker and choosing to cater to them (not above catering to men of course, just ALSO catering to women). Stars used to have an amazing women’s following that I was really sad to see them quietly cut years ago—I wrote an open letter to them that wound up getting quite a bit of hate from random people lol, but I still feel the way I did back when I wrote it.

I do believe the stars will align and this will all happen one day, even if not for a while! :)
