hi all
im Jessica from UK 25 years old X( getting old now meh!!!!!
started playing poker at university with the boys in my dorm and enjoyed the looks on there faces when i reshoved them any 2 and got called hehe. Started to take the game quite seriously last year but found that i hated playing at the casinos due to the lack of women playing there and the macho man approach to poker (mine is bigger than yours etc ROFL)

found online poker through a freind who was grinding the pokerstars super turbo short handed sit and gos.I played on pokerstars last year grinding the higher end of low stakes games but got fed up with the bad rakeback on pokerstars (unless you can rake 140k a year)

So i found this forum about a week ago and signed up to willhill and started grinding. (Next update will be platinum status nearing diamond) Im planning on playing on all the ipoker sites through pokerstrategy clearing all the bonuses and making use of the vip club and races etc then moving back to will hill and staying there for the rest of the year.

Im currently playing a mixture of 6 max super turbos 6 max super turbo double ups 4 max super turbo double ups and 6 max turbo sit and gos- id prefer to just play regular super turbos but the traffic dictates that i gota mix my games if i want to have good volume currently playing the 10$ level for the dogfight promotion. Using pokertracker, minimaxmod and a betpot hotkey programme to cope with the aweful software and still be able to 12 table +

My Aim:
1) Show all you men that dominate the poker world that girls can have success too hehe (and i dont mean the luckbox women that donked a mtt one time) DONE

2) Be able to make enough money that i can quit my rubbish job (have struggled to find the job i wanted after university due to the recession) DONE

3) continue to enjoy and improve my sit and go super turbo game DONE

4) move up the stakes DONE (at 33-109$)

5) get that elusive black member status possibly the first girl to get there

6) make some new freinds that enjoy poker all my close friends have no interest at all with poker :f_o:

I will post hands and post graphs and winnings etc and general non poker stuff if anyones interested :)

wish me luck at the tables _evil:

Best of luck Jessica!

Looks like you have huge ambition to become Pro, or at least making a living from Poker.

What are you going to be playing? Still Hypers, or a bit of everything?

Will have to keep track of this Blog, going to be an interesting one.

Goal 5) Black Member. Run good!

Hey Jessica,

nice intro to the blog and wow have u set some big goals for urself! I'm convinced that to find success in poker u definately have to go all in commitment-wise and big goals helped me with that :)

What I really wanted to add is, I'm sure most of the male population here on pokerstrategy can think of several females who's poker results we/they envy. I'm absolutely certain that poker is among the games neither of the sexes has an edge at (if anything girls may be able to explore certain ways to "introduce" an edge considering how little it takes to distract guys ).

Good luck at the tables!
