Best Female Poker Player

#5 November 25th, 2020, 1:39 AM

I like Liv Boeree. She is beautiful and intelligent.

#6 November 25th, 2020, 2:06 AM

Kristen Bicknell

#7 November 25th, 2020, 3:34 AM

Hard to pick one but if I had to choose I say Vanessa Russo.

She does well in tournaments and cash games.

I liked the girl former team Pro PokerStars Leah Novikova who unfortunately died at a young age due to an accident. In my understanding, the best girl in poker is the one who has achieved some poker results and appearance does not play any role here. Every girl is beautiful in her own way.

My love liv boeree

#10 November 25th, 2020, 8:30 AM

My favorite player is Liv Boeree. She is a professional player who has achieved great results, and I think her major victories are still ahead.

#13 November 25th, 2020, 11:26 AM

I think it's Kristen Bicknell. She was a SuperNova Elite member on Pokerstars multiple times. She's also a three time WSOP bracelet winner.

#14 November 25th, 2020, 8:52 PM

Maria Ho. She is my favorite. I think she is a very intelligent player, she is always very active in her social networks talking about poker and life giving good advice to improve our game and style of life with poker.

#15 November 25th, 2020, 9:03 PM

Wtf ppl, the question was about skill, not appearance.

- Vanessa Selbst

#16 November 25th, 2020, 9:04 PM

Vanessa is a good one

#17 November 25th, 2020, 9:13 PM

You asked who is the best but most responses are for favourite which is two different things.
The best right now is I think is Victoria Coren she has two EPT Titles.
But for hotness and great personality combined have always crushed over.
Fatima Moreira de Melo

These would be two good picks off the top of my head. However, I have not seen Kristen Bicknell play on TV nearly as much as I have seen Venessa Selbst play. Selbst was a killer. Scary to see what she can do (knowing the hole cards). She would be a nightmare to play against. Best Female Poker Player

At the moment Kristen Bicknell is by far the best women's player in the world - she and her partner Alex Foxen both won back to back player of the year titles which is phenomenal. Her live earnings alone are over $5 million.

Following quite closely is Maria Lampropulous, the Argentinian, who is the second strongest female over the last few years. Her live earnings alone are over $3.3.million.

They can compete in any field and hold their own comfortably.

Most of the females poker players you mentionned are tournaments players. As far as the best female player all around, by far is Daniel neagranu�s first girlfriend, a very hight limit pro , she has millions of dollars swings year in year out since the 1990s, Her name is Jennifer Harman . If it wasnt for her, you wouldnt have never heard of daniel Neagranu. He was broke and on the rail, playing 100$ tournament at The Orleans in las vegas, She was staking him and giving him the chance to meet the likes of chip reese and doyle brunson,the rest is history

That's interesting!

#26 November 26th, 2020, 10:10 PM

Liz Lieu was a good player.
I also like Kim Wooka,maybe not the best but we are friends on fbook and she is really friendly.

Source?

#29 November 27th, 2020, 6:41 AM

@ mtl mile end

source for which part ? I lived in vegas from 1987-2004 and remembers when Neagranu just came from toronto and used to play with us at the Mirage 10$-20$ limit holdem ,most of the time dressed with those hockey jerseys. He was a non stop talking machine at the tables but pleasant personality. he used to play 100$-300$ tournaments at the orleans.I know because I used to also play them .
As far as jennifer harmon, I think you can just google and find some information.

I don't doubt there is some truth to what you say regarding Negreanu's early days and his relationship with Harman. It would have been interesting to see where her career progressed (in a public sense) is she had not been impacted by illness to the degree she was.

Regarding Vanessa Selbst getting mentioned. Try as I might I cannot warm to her play. There is no arguing with results (I believe she is still the winningest women's player) but she was aggression and self-sabotage in equal measures. I always felt when she ran good, she got away with it when she didn't it just felt like she tilted off massive stacks. Over simplistic I know - but the whine which always followed her making a catastrophically stupid play just grated on me.

If you are talking about All Time greats then I have to go with Annie Duke, if you are talking about current players, then I think Vanessa Selbst or Liv Boree...and they will also become all-time greats too. I do like Annette as well.

I was referring to the relationship between Negreanu and Harmon. I did Google it - and found nothing.

Victoria Coren Mitchell

Victoria Coren-Mitchell is the first woman to win the European Poker Tour (London 2006) Main Event, and the first two-time EPT winner (San Remo 2014).
Vicky Coren has ended her multi-year contract with PokerStars after announcing that casino games will be available on the poker client.

#35 November 28th, 2020, 1:22 AM

@ mtl mile end
Why are you interested in their past relation? Do you know she got married and have kids? and she referes to Neagranu as a brother ?
The topic is about best female poker ,in my book Jennifer is the best.
For the rest of the story, if You have any connection in vegas, make couple phone calls, and will get the confirmation of what I said.
Dont get me wrong, Neagranu is an excellent poker player ,but if he stayed playing small limits, most likely no one will have ever heard of him. But when you start hanging with poker players millionnaires who stakes you , you have it made

Very good, thank you.

Negreanu and both Harman have been open about the fact they were close when Negreanu was finding his feet in Las Vegas - and since. Though I am not sure if the relationship was described openly as boyfriend/girlfriend I always took it to mean it was something other than mentorship early days.

Simply Google Jennifer Harman Daniel Negreanu close relationship and you will find links/clips etc.

#39 November 28th, 2020, 9:13 PM

Without a doubt, Vanessa Selbst....and also Jennifer Harman...a close 2nd.

#40 November 29th, 2020, 6:11 AM

I watched Adrienne Carter (talonchick) in the past. I think she was a very great player, a down-to-earth lady, and such a nice woman - mother as well.
I also respect the fact that she stopped playing poker, probably cause of her family, and started to take another dream.
If I can add one more thing, they live next to a lake surrounded by forest, very isolated but in a peaceful area, so I wanna believe that she has a nice soul too.

#41 November 29th, 2020, 8:44 AM

It's probably Vanessa Selbst or Maria Ho for her historials, but my favorite is Laura Cintra

#42 November 29th, 2020, 10:42 AM

Hi.
I like Maria Lampropulos, but my favorite is Liv Boeree.
Good luck.

#43 November 30th, 2020, 3:54 AM

I would have to say Kristen Bicknell. She has been playing some very good poker as of late. I actually like the play of Jen Tilly. She may sound like she doesn�t know what she�s doing but she usually makes the right decision.
