For a long time, women were told poker wasn’t a game for them.
But that was never about who could actually play better.
Poker isn’t luck, and it isn’t a gift either. It’s study, repetition and discipline. The gender gap was never about the ability to learn it. It was about access.
Real change has been building for years, both online and at live tables, and it comes down to one thing that’s simple to say but hard to deliver: creating spaces where women feel safe sitting down to play. In practice, that means events built specifically for them, backed by organizations ready to step in if anything crosses the line.
Today, practically every major poker tour runs its own women’s event. And the WPF is part of that movement through the Ladies Weekend. ♣️
The Ladies Weekend started in 2025 and returns in 2026 even bigger, with more countries and more women.
October 16 to 18, it’s your turn to join. 💜
Stay tunned!
