The nominations for this year’s best performers in poker (we’re talking ladies only) are open. So get yourself busy and submit your application or that of someone you believe worthy of the title!
The Women in Poker Hall of Fame is hosting this fabulous event yearly, starting from 2001. It was initially formed by the Ladies International Poker Series – LIPS. The association’s aim is to enhance awareness and celebrate the contributions and achievements of women in poker. Those gorgeous ladies also help a number of charities assisting military families.
Nominations are open to the general public. The criteria for selection is as follows:

  1. A candidate must have been active as a player or industry leader for a minimum of 10 years prior to election and 35 yrs of age or older.
  2. Player/industry leader must have contributed to the world of poker in some significant way. This person can qualify by either winning major poker tournaments, or by making significant contributions to the industry of poker.

  4. All nominees must be approved by a committee of the Board of Directors and the Inductees.
  5. Nominees must agree to terms & conditions of the Women in Poker Hall of Fame.

Nominations for Women in Poker Hall are open for 2016.Just to spice things up before the nominations, let me just throw that study in the mix, in case there’s someone out there still doubting women are not good at gambling. Sorry gents, but women make better gambling choices than men in stressful conditions. A study conducted by the University of Ohio observed over 100 men and women who were told they’d have to give a public presentation on their own bodies following 20 minutes of a simulated gambling game. The scientists wanted to see if there is a connection between the choices the players make as the time comes closer to the deadline. Much to everyone’s surprise (they didn’t expect the difference to be significant) the ladies in the study made better gambling decisions. Men’s decision-making declined as the clock was ticking.
So there, that’s the great news from me for now, go submit your details for a chance to grab that crown if you’re into poker and have great time playing whatever game you’re into my darlings! Good luck!
