High Heels Poker Tour the next big thing

August 18, 2008

I just heard about the High Heels Poker Tour - HHPT.

Here is their mission statement from their homepage:

Our Mission at the HHPT is to empower women who want to become champions in the growing world of poker. The HHPT wants to provide the best competitive environment where women can explore, develop, and continue growing and learning top strategies and their “A” game. Opportunities and Recognition are what the HHPT is all about.

Could this be the next craze in Poker ? It was founded by Lauren Failla. Women have been playing a big part in poker over the last couple of years. With movie starts such as Jennifer Tilly and Shannon Elizabeth making it more prominent. This year’s tournament we saw quit a few women make it to the final tables but not the final table. There is definitely an audience for women in poker, im tired of see those dudes in the jump suits on TV. Bring more women to the tables ! Looking at their poker tournament schedule it looks pretty strong.

Kind of a clever name I must say as opposed to a name like Woman of Poker (WOP) ! HHTP is much cooler.
