“It is time the ladies got their very own tour and ranking system,” says Crystal Osgood, founder of the Ladies Poker Association. “The Ladies Poker Dream Weekend, the second event in the LPA Pro Tour is all about serious women playing serious poker. There are many events out there for the ladies to play at the $100-$200 level. But we wanted to give women their very own pro tour, with a standard amount of starting chips, a comfortable structure and plenty of time between rounds. Add that to the first ever Ladies Professional Ranking System, and you have a very exciting weekend of serious poker – just for the ladies.”

“Beth Shak doesn’t fit the stereotype of the Friday night poker player. She’s attractive, a mother of five and doesn’t even smoke cigars or guzzle beer when she plays cards.”I drink water and chew mints,” Shak says.

“Susan and Tim are ex-fiancés who have a four year old child. At wit’s end, they decide to enter a series of poker tournaments in hopes of winning enough money to avoid declaring bankruptcy because of their struggling company’s dire financial problems. Are they American Dreamers or Delusional Gamblers? The answer depends on the perspective, as evidenced by “No Limit”, an out of the ordinary, entertaining and emotional inside-look at the high-stakes world of professional poker playing. Passion River will release “No Limit” on DVD July 24th, with a pre-book release date of June 26, 2007.
“No Limit” takes a revealing glimpse into an eight-month journey down the poker tournament trail, culminating at the biggest event of them all, Las Vegas’ World Series of Poker. There are many highs, lows, and in-betweens along the way that all too often spell disaster for these two and their child, but all they really need to do is win just one tournament to make all the heartache worthwhile.”

“Women are the largest growing demographic, poker industry officials say. Drawn by poker in cyberspace and on television, a growing number of women are clashing with the opposite sex on the poker felt. There’s even a bimonthly magazine -Woman Poker Player.
Last year, the World Championship Ladies Event at the WSOP drew 1,128 players – up from 601 in 2005.
As Violette says, poker is no longer a man’s game.
“When I first started, almost all the time I was the only woman playing at the table,” said Violette, who won a 2004 seven-stud high-low split tournament for her WSOP bracelet. “Now it could very easily be three women at the table. Poker has nothing to do with being male or female.”
