Loretta Larson
Owner and Webmaster

I have built this site to help promote and communicate with women in the poker arena.
As the game of poker spreads in popularity, more women are joining the ranks. Poker is
a good venue for women to use their common sense and patience to make extra money.

Most of the women with whom I've played (in my limited experience), play a solid,
smart game.

Please help me make this site a useful tool for women players. Feel free to send
suggestions, share your experiences and give readers feedback on places you may play.
I especially want to promote women only tournaments. Would like to see a Northwest
woman win next years World Series Women’s event.

You can email me at lorettajl@comcast.net

Thank you and may you have successful gaming.

BRITTANY’S SECOND IN A ROW WIN AT PARKERS

Posted by lorettalarson at July 27th, 2010

Parkers Casino, Shoreline, Wa.

For the second week in a row Brittany Buntin Harsila won the Monday, $20 buyin, $10 bounty tournament. If she is in the money next week, there will be a $20 bounty on her.

This week 19 women arrived to play. The Seattle weather is amazing right now which is impacting our turnout. You have to really want to play poker to come in out of our blue skys. Fortunately, several of us do really like to play poker.

After a few groans and much laughter our winners of the $500 pot were from left to right, Brittany Buntin Hartsila winning first and $250, Arlene Gaeth winning second and $150 and Loretta Larson (me) winning third and $100.

Monday, July 12, 2010 and 26 women positioned themselves to play the $20 buyin, $10 bounty tournament. The big suprize of the night was that Erica came to play.

Monday, June 28 and 24 women played the $20 buy-in $10 bounty tournament. The prize pool is always $500, $250 to first, $150 to second and $100 to third. The winners will almost always have at least a couple bounty chips which would represent another $20 (if two chips)

This week four women decided to chop. This will probably be Erica’s last poker show for awhile as the babies are close to coming. See photo.
