FEMALE POKER PLAYERS REJOICE!
POKERSTARS NET SIGNS ON AS OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF THE HIGH HEELS POKER TOUR TO BRING THE EXCITEMENT OF ONLINE PLAY TO THE FELT
ISLE OF MAN, UK –SEPTEMBER, 2009 –While men have traditionally taken center stage at the world’s biggest tournaments, interest among women in poker, both online and offline, is skyrocketing. According to recent poll, women account for up to 25 percent of the poker playing public, up dramatically from just five years ago. Of course, women have been playing poker in their own home games since the game took hold in America, one hundred years ago.
Today, PokerStars net, the world’s largest poker school, announced its sponsorship of the acclaimed High Heels Poker Tour (HHPT). Founded in 2007, the HHPT was created to empower women who want to become champions in the growing world of poker. Like PokerStars, The HHPT seeks to provide the best competitive environment where women can explore, develop, and continue growing and learning top strategies to perfect their “A” game.
The PokerStars sponsorship will include support for HHPT’s growing roster of tournaments; the first of began this month at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, NY. After New York, the tour heads south to Florida for three outstanding events in Dania, Hollywood and Tampa, where the nation’s female champions of tomorrow will vie for not only a generous prize pool, but great friendships, camaraderie and competition at the tables.
“PokerStars has all of the attributes in a online partner that female players crave: an incredible variety of quick, entertaining games that range from low buy in sit and goes and cash games to serious tournament play, all in an environment where women can learn the game, develop their skills, and truly become champions,” said Lauren Failla, founder of the High Heels Poker Tour. “With champions like Vanessa Rousso, Katja Thater, and Vicky Coren, our players have a whole new set of role models to emulate and challenge, online and at the tables.
In addition to the tour sponsorship, PokerStars.net and HHPT will also be collaborating on the HHPT Grand Finale and PokerStars $1000 buy-in ladies event at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January 2010.

FEMALE BRITISH POKER PLAYERS
WIN A TRIP TO LONDON WITH POKERSTARS
ISLE OF MAN, SEPTEMBER 3, 2009 – British women have been rocking the world of poker lately and showing men they really do have the skills and talent to make it to the top.
Team PokerStars UK PRO Vicky Coren won £500,000 at the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour (EPT) event in London in 2006 and a further $40k at this year’s PokerStars Caribbean Adventure while former PokerStars EPT presenter Kara Scott has won over $500k in the last 14 months alone after coming 2nd at the Irish Open and going deep two years running at the World Series of Poker.
There’s no doubt British women have what it takes to compete at international level but now PokerStars is giving them a helping hand - a unique chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to London and a seat in a major live women-only event. The “PokerStars EPT Ladies Game”, which takes place October 5, forms part of the PokerStars EPT London Poker Festival and follows the success of other women-only events at PokerStars tournaments around the world.
From now until September 26, PokerStars is running a series of daily freeroll (“free to enter”) tournaments aimed just at British women. The top nine players each day will get a seat in the online final on September 27 and the top ten finalists will win a £500 Ladies Game prize package including the £220 entry fee for the EPT Ladies Game, £100 spending money and a night at the five-star Hilton Metropole hotel - not to mention a signed copy of Vicky Coren's new book and the chance to meet her in person.
Coren, a member of Team PokerStars PRO since 2006, said: “There are a lot of great female poker players out in the world already, but there could be a lot more. Playing online, women don't have to worry about the long late hours of the live game, or the stern faces of a roomful of men. You can log on whenever you like, for as long or short a time as you like, and fit this around the demands of careers, childcare or whatever else is going on. For women who want to take a shot at a live tournament - but don't fancy staring at a table of snarling male opponents - this promotion is perfect.”

When are they going to do a "Men only" tour?
Would it be legal?

As sexist as it may sound i can see the benefit of a wome only tour but not a men's
(i think boldie regularly plays the men only tour though)

I usually play in trainers myself, but will have a bash at the freerolls.

Women in poker are brilliant. In fact, some of the best valet service and massages I've had have been from women.

For the potential illegality of it to be exposed someone has to highlight it, who's going to make this a discrimination issue?

there won't be - it's not gimmicky enough, and, rightly or wrongly, a site probably wouldn't want to associate itself with something like that (I know it's hypocritical).
I'm sure it would be legal.

Oh yes, so I did. (I forgot that bit)
I still wonder if a "Men Only" tour would be legal though.
