Linda Johnson I would like to do whatever it takes to help get more women to play poker and to get the status of women in the poker world elevated. We want women respected, and the LPA will help in this regard. Read more...
Jan Fisher Poker is friendlier for women now, and there are more women in poker rooms than ever before. I have mixed feelings about women-only events, but if this is what it takes to get women out to play, then the LPA is a good vehicle for them. Read more...

Founder and President Welcome to the Ladies Poker Association, created by women poker players for women poker players. It is our intent to make this site the best it can be FOR YOU! We have tried very hard to pack it full of useful information in an easy to read and easy to navigate magazine format. Our goal is for this site to be an information portal for serious women poker players, to include: feature articles on players and events, player interviews, tournament coverage, a Ladies player ranking system, educational articles from a women’s perspective, and inspiration for anyone new to the game. In the near future, we plan to offer free LPA memberships, members-only discounts, special events and members-only tournaments.
I hope you will take the time to visit our site. We welcome your comments and suggestions. And tell your friends about us as well!
Nick Malliris, Director of Business Development Almost from the start of the online poker phenomenon, I’ve been integrally involved in marketing educational competitive poker on the web to a new and ever-expanding universe of players. Most of that effort was targeted to men. Except for an intrepid few who were determined to make their mark, women were overlooked and largely ignored in a marketing sense. But they weren’t overmatched when given a chance. The Ladies Poker Association is now at the forefront of giving women around the world their own place and their own opportunity to enjoy the game and a pathway to a level playing field competing on the world stage.

KELLEY OHARA, 2008 LPA Poker Ambassador.
Through the LPA, we have a valuable avenue to bring information and broaden the poker community. Being invited to participate on this board is quite an honor as I believe that the LPA is going in exactly the right direction. It focuses on highlighting the best poker has to offer, and it fosters a respect for the game and the player. I enthusiastically promote the LPA because this organization?s goals serve the industry well. Read More...
