Introduction
There are more ways to shuffle a card deck than there are atoms on Earth (80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 combos, to be exact). And almost as many poker books have been written.
This book is different.
It’s not your high school math textbook, and it’s certainly not your dad’s old school Texas Hold ‘Em guide. It’s fun. It’s simple. It’s quick! It’s poker made easy, a poker book for people who don’t play poker. Told with female flair and girlish glam, A Girl’s Guide to Poker teaches the ins and outs of the game with style, sophistication, and moxy.
No woman has ever won the World Series of Poker Main Event, even though first prize is several million dollars and a glitzy diamond bracelet. Ninety-five percent of the competitors are men (why they’d want a $50,000 bracelet, I will never know). That’s because seeing women at poker tables are like flopping a set or making or a flush[1] — it happens, but don’t count on it.
This book aims to make that change.
